The Memotech MTX Series |
 |
Following the very successful Memofest event
held in 2013, Memofest
2014 was held on the 20th September, hosted by Andy Key
in Chandlers Ford, Southampton. As last year, I had hoped to be
a "virtual" attendee using Skype, unfortunately, "technical
difficulties" at the remote end meant that my participation was
cut short, so my reporting of the event is very limited.
Andy has updated his
Memofest 2014 page, where you can find a summary of the
day's activities, but a small selection of photos from the
day are available below :

| Andy kindly opened his home to the band of
slightly suspect characters attending Memofest
2014.
No expense spent - the extensive event signage,
directing attendees to the venue. Perhaps next year,
we can get a working
Videowall
to point the way to
Memofest 2015!

| The star of the show was probably the
Memotech themed cake, unfortunately, Skype's lack of
"taste-o-vision" means that I am unable to attest to
it's quality :-(

Competition
|
As a bit of fun, but really, to hopefully to stimulate a bout of
frantic programming in advance of Memofest 2014, Martin and I
have decided that we will donate a MAGROM board -
see :
http://primrosebank.net/computers/mtx/projects/magrom/magrom.htm
to the winner of a Memotech programming competition.
The competition rules (a little tongue in cheek, but the
competition is real) can be found over on
Memorum |
