London Show

[Steve Fryatt]

While I was Not At The London Show today, I managed to get a few photos of
what was happening

http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/gallery/london2102/

Sorry that they're not captioned; it's still possible to play "count the
Raspberry Pis", though (there's no prize as I lost count)!

I think the pages work OK in NetSurf, even if the fancy Javascript bits
don't.

Thanks to the organisers for all their hard work; it's a shame that I need
to be back in Leeds this evening and so wasn't able to stay long enough to
exhibit this year.

Is that time travel, or avoiding the LOCOG tossers?

Its time travel, it clearly shows none of us have aged one bit, having
all entered the space time continuum, and that RISC OS and the PI have
taken over the world and Microsoft is now a subsidiary Of RISC OS
Global Enterprises. :-)

Oh sounds like my Tardis has just arrived to collect me.

Anyway, I might be in good company: if a photo that the late Colin Sutton
pointed me towards is true, then even LOCOG were doing it. Unless
Photoshop was involved in the mistake, of course...

Seems like your web host has a psychic server:

To add to the transpositional weirdness, it's a general rule of
spelling: "i before e except after c". Except for "weir" and
"weird"...

I suspect the influence of American Hallowe'en, personally.
I'd better add a 8-)

I was taught "I before E except after C whenever the sound is EE".

It was a C of E school. 8-o

Shouldn't that read "RISC OS Users Global EnterpriseS" ?

There is an Apache module that attempts to deal with typos, incorrect
capitalisation, etc., in URLs, based on the knowledge of what is really
there. It must be turned on in the setup provided by Steve's web hosting.

I was taught "i before e except after c", and the school was
C of E. But *very* high church.

I suspected as much. Thanks for the clarification.

There was a British tenor whose first name was Keith (can't remember
his surname) who worked a lot in Germany. He had to change the
spelling to "Kieth" there, or the Germans would pronounce him as
"Kite".

With best wishes,

Peter.

Look at the '1' in '2102' - that indicates that the year has been rotated,
so I reckon it's a photoshop job.

I don't think so. I think was the transfer was stuck on the ladder the wrong
way round. The reason I say that is that (although the resolution is very low
and it's difficult to be sure) the dither pattern seems consistent. If it was
photoshopped there would be a discontinuity along the clipped areas - unless of
course the person doing it was *really* clever.
