Thats an incredible understatement!

Da Rude!

@Mikey_C

Would love to show up! Though I'm guessing the UK in the subject and the price in ? means I'll have to miss it. (last time I went to UK it cost me US$600 for the plane trim, in '97) Would there be a .avi or something for download?

@kvasir

You can get flights from Los Angeles (which I guess is even further away?) for around ?180 now - but that's partly because stearling is so strong.. perhaps a little too strong. Interest rates are set to sky rocket here.. hold onto your house!

@Mikey_C

I'm up for learning C. I started a while ago - Karlos around 3 years ago began to teach me over Messenger, but he became really busy - then I became really busy etc.. etc..

I've become quite good at vbscript - had to teach myself that for work. Sort of undertstand a bit of PHP, and last night downloaded Free Pascal for shits and giggles. Actually Free Pascal is bloody easy - some things bug me, as I find it very strict, but what I'm thinking is - there is a free pascal port to OS 4, so even I dont get C, hopefully I'll come away with an understanding of the Amiga OS 4 API which I can apply Free Pascal too.

Of course, in any event it'll be a laugh - get to hang out with a load of delinquents for the day. There will no doubt be beer available too?

@bobsonsirjonny

Delinquents? Here, I resemble that remark!

@Mikey_C

I have holiday booked with work from 9th to 20th July, but don't mind having to book more if it is later in the month or in August.

@Mikey_C

I would be interested on an avi or DVD whatever. well I'm really looking forward for it!
I can't make any plans for summer by now.

@Mikey_C

Bump!!!

Whats happening with this matey Any news or have thee forgotten ?

@Jurassicc

Oh Gosh! I had forgotten all about this! Sorry everyone.

Guess we'll have to see if Chris Y is still up for this. If you are Chris, let me know.

Ta.

@ALL

I know it has been a looong time since this issue was discussed and a lot of negativity has set in.

Therefore, could I please ask those who expressed an interest previously to once more say so again?

I will need to see if the numbers stack up, providing of course, Chris Y says yes

Please note, this will involve travelling, maybe a weekend, or similar and money being spent. So, please say yes if you are 100% up for it.

Mikey C

@Mikey_C

Erm, I guess so. I had forgotten so I haven't done anything with it. If it's an entire weekend I'd rather it was more than just me though.

Chris

@Chris

I was throwing the thing out for comment.
Ok, One day it is.

You're hired!!

Now all we need are some Students to the art of Amiga C programming

C'mon guys, YAY or NAE?

@Mikey_C
Still count me in please, whatever day.

@Mikey_C

Have you considered doing a video of this. Donations could be made for the download, to help off set the cost of hiring out a venue.

@all

Including myself, that's 4 so far. Anymore takers?

@Mikey_C

Give me more details once you've decided what's going on, I may be able to help out

Simon

@Rigo

That's very kind of you Rigo, Between you and Chris I am sure that those who attend will come away with some useful inkling on the basics of Amiga programming.

Thank you.

I could provide free facilities at the school I work in at Stratford-upon-Avon for a Saturday event. This would include 2 full IT suites with data projectors, broadband etc allowing internet video/irc links to be easily set up. There would be plenty of space/power to set up visitors' Amigas.

Onsite refreshments would be hot/cold drinks and snacks. There are 2 very good pubs next door to the school. Folk attending the event could even persuade their other halves to spend a day seeing the sites in Stratford and then meet up for a meal later on? There are reasonable rail and road links into Stratford, providing we don't get the same amount of rain as we did in the Summer...

Will anyone be recording this on "video"?

tiffers

@Mikey_C

I did say yes when this thread was also on AW.net, and it's still a yes from me, unless its 10th or 11th of November (thats from the wife!).

@OldAmigan

Added you on the new forum thread

There's no point in running two threads over the same topic. therefore I am locking this one as its older.
