NEXT MEETING                

DATE:   Monday 19th January 2026
(ROUGOL meets on the third Monday of each month)
SUBJECT:   Multi headed systems
PRESENTER:   Chris Hall
TIME:   7:45pm (although ROUGOL members start arriving at the pub from 6.30pm and the Zoom meeting will open at 7.30pm)
VENUE:   Upstairs in the Petworth Room at The Duke of Sussex public house, 23 Baylis Road, SE1 7AY, and also online via Zoom.

This month Chris Hall will be Zooming in to show off his multiple heads. He has been experimenting with an R-Comp Hydra system, with two heads running RISC OS and a third with Linux.

He will be describing how well the new Hydra works, why he wanted multiple heads, how each head is configured, and how the system as a whole performs in use. He will expand on his article in the latest Archive, with a digression about RDP versus VNC for connecting between heads.

There should be time to look at some of his software - such as RingBind, Cat, DrawDis and Locking, all of which make use of MakeDraw. He will demonstrate how to make subtle changes to Draw files that aren't possible in Draw, by disassembling them using MultiTask and recreating them using MakeDraw after some subtle edits.


The usual arrangements

Meetings are free and everyone is welcome, no booking required, just turn up at the pub. Zoom attendees contact us for the link. (If you have attended any of our previous Zoom meetings, it is the same link)

The Duke of Sussex is easily accessible by public transport from in and around London and the south east, and serves a wide range of food and drinks. All meetings benefit from a large screen display, so everyone should have a great view.

To be informed about future meetings, please join the mailing list. Everyone on the mailing list will be kept informed of these and other ROUGOL initiatives.
