ABUG Cambridge 28th - 30th June 2019 BOOKING THREAD - Now FULL
Re: ABUG Cambridge 28th - 30th June 2019 BOOKING THREAD - NOW FULL
Since I'll arrive in Cambridge in the morning, I will have some time to kill. Since I've already seen the tourist attractions, I am looking for alternatives. Is it i.e. possible and worth to visit arm headquarters?
Re: ABUG Cambridge 28th - 30th June 2019 BOOKING THREAD - NOW FULL
You have seen ALL tourist attractions? Think I have been going to Cambridge for 20 years and don't think I have seen them all yet
I remember dropping off a friend at ARM, as they worked there, don't remember it being very exciting.
Re: ABUG Cambridge 28th - 30th June 2019 BOOKING THREAD - NOW FULL
Your're right, it's not that exciting a place, a bit of a cliche but what makes Arm is it's people, business partners and ecosystem.
If you are desperate to look around I'm sure I can arrange something.
Do you have your own transport?

Probably not all of them, but I was there for a week and at the end we were looking for alternatives.
Don't get me wrong, I liked Cambridge quite a bit, but it probably depends on personal preferences. I know there are some museums I have not visited, but they were not very high on my priority list.
Yes, that is what I heard.
Re: ABUG Cambridge 28th - 30th June 2019 BOOKING THREAD - NOW FULL
I will arrive by train with my luggage in tow and hope to be able to drop it off early at the Travelodge. Transport will be by foot, bus and Uber.
I am not totally desperate about the arm visit, I just thought it could be interesting. (My wife worked for MS in Redmond and I got to visit their campus many years ago, which was quite interesting from a cultural perspective. I also visited Silicon Valley a couple of years ago and visited Google et al.)
If you say there is nothing worth seeing, it probably doesn't make a lot of sense.

Anyone managed to get to Cambridge Museum of Technology, formerly I think the Industrial Museum? They are (mostly) open again now:

Just wanted to ask whether there was anyone (anyone? please?) attending from London who might be willing to pick up Master PSU for me and take it back with them so I could collect it from them in London? Would really appreciate it!
Thanks, in hope and anticipation...

You won't get bored! What you will get is disappointed that there wasn't enough time to speak to everyone and see what they were doing.

Last minute advice!
Don’t forget to bring the essentials, such as:
In light of the weather forecast, you may want to consider bringing a fan...
It would be nice if some attendees take some photos and post them up on here
Y’all have fun now
[Alas, I can’t make this one ]

Sorry to hear that, Mark. Was hoping to say hello and thank you in person for all the advice on sorting out my PSU.
Maybe next time.

Thanks so much but someone's offered to help who's pretty close to where I work. Your offer is much appreciated though, thank you!flibble wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 7:06 pmIf you can pick up from SW15 next week or something I can pick it up from Cambridge.VectorEyes wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 4:13 pm Just wanted to ask whether there was anyone (anyone? please?) attending from London who might be willing to pick up Master PSU for me and take it back with them so I could collect it from them in London?

We just survived 38 yesterday here in Germany. So I am looking forward to 30 in Cambridge.
I hope all the attendees know how to reduce breathing and bring their freezing tech soldering gear.
Re: ABUG Cambridge 28th - 30th June 2019 BOOKING THREAD - NOW FULL
I am working late tonight; so I finished most of my packing this morning. So I can set off early tomorrow.
I am planning not to bring too much stuff. I am mindful of the fact that much of my full table maybe commandeered as the snack table. However, if there is anything specific that anyone would like me to bring, please let me know.

Re: ABUG Cambridge 28th - 30th June 2019 BOOKING THREAD - NOW FULL
I spent a large chunk of today prepping things for this weekend it seems.
I put a 3.5mm audio jack on my dev beeb and modified a scart lead to get sound to the TV. Fixed the electrical connections on my tube video demo and spent ages getting that going again. Tested a few model Bs for judgebeeb to look at. Gathered a few things to bring.
So I will have some Bs if anyone else apart from judgebeeb wants to look.
If anyone else wants me to bring anything specific then PM me pronto - preferably before I leave tomorrow
edit: for example I could bring an Amiga for a Stunt Car Racer comparison with the Master version?

That is an interesting idea. Star car was one of the early games I had on the Amiga, remember with fondness. Would be interesting to compare them again, on real hardware that is. I still have a clone of my A1200 I took about 15-20 years ago before I gave it away.
Re: ABUG Cambridge 28th - 30th June 2019 BOOKING THREAD - NOW FULL
I put a C64 in the box too for the Stunt Car Racer side by side. I didn't pack a Master I have too much stuff for half a table already!
Re: ABUG Cambridge 28th - 30th June 2019 BOOKING THREAD - NOW FULL
Unfortunately I can no longer make it tomorrow, unforeseen family commitments. So there's potentially a spare place for a no kitter tomorrow!
Will look forward to seeing photos of the goings on, and will try again for a future event.

Hi all,
I wonder if someone could take a look at this Moonraider casette and see if it really is for the Acorn Atom:
http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/ ... oonraider/
If so, then it's MIA! But more likely it's the Nascom version.
There is also Cosmiad, but I think that's actually been mislaid:

I am at CfCH now. We should be able to start setting up from about 2.30pm to 3.00pm. We will then be able to stay until 10pm tonight. We can get back in again at 9am on Saturday morning. We can stay late on Saturday until either we or Jason F have had enough.
We are free to spill out into other areas if we want to (there are some tables out in the main hall which I think we should be able to use). This would, for obvious reasons, be particularly suitable for anyone demoing software. However, this is not, in any way, mandatory. I appreciate that it can be a bit isolating being separated from the main group.
See you all later!

I've already popped in and said hello to the Judge.
I'm planning to drop in later for a bit, might get some time late afternoon/evening on Saturday and I probably will be bringing family on Sunday.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
