[Nottingham] [Talk] *Tomorrow* 8:30pm Thursday 26/11/2020: How DARIC was born!

[Martin]

Folks,

Staying virtual until we continue to evolve onwards around the
SARS-CoV-2 virus and the resultant COVID-19... etc... etc...


Hence:


*NLUG continues socially online* !


*Tomorrow* 8:30pm Thursday 26/11/2020 (That's also 8:30pm _GMT_  )

NLUG 'Talk': *How DARIC was born* !

https://meet.jit.si/NLUGmeet17


Virtual hands up those who remember ORAC from Blake's 7 from years ago?

Well... DARIC is of no connection other than for the RAC... :-P

Our NLUG Master, *Daryl* , has YACCed together a whole new compiled
language from the days of Blake's 7 to wow us with how the 8-bit world
could have been programmed, all in our modern day many bits.

Bound to be good fun, enlightening, impressive, and with lots of bits!

:-)


Also, I'm sure we need no excuse for us to randomly catch up with what
the group and the world has been doing...


There's no set format:

Bring along your stories and comments, with a warm welcome for all!

Have your nibbles and beverages to hand, and lets party!


See y'all online ;-)

All welcome :-)

Stay safe!
Martin
