But I can't find any references to it!! It obviously exists cos you said it does, so does this qualify for something like google wack-not or some such phrase? <br /><br />Update - I have just found one!! But guess what ! Its on Dr Solly.com AND.. I've just read a small potted history of its development, liked the bit when you said you had no idea of how to market software, I'm so glad you didnt take it up as a job, and you devoted your entire life to looking for specimin jars in the undergrowth. Oh and writing lots of blogs on "Country -File : Bike Style" I must read your history in full, I keep forgeting how good you are at story writing, as i have always marveled at your Christmas stories, and now I read them to my children. <br /><br />Anuyway, the wardens are coming around again and if they find my ipad again, they said they would tell Grouty, and that would spell trouble. So thanks for the updates, and I look forward to getting out of here one day soon and then i can publish my cache on that site, whatsitcalled? <br /><br />Need to get a lifenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143925273655347334.post-80788845739786875752013-03-12T13:03:34.426+00:002013-03-12T13:03:34.426+00:00Tell us more I'm intregede any thought of port...Tell us more I'm intregede any thought of porting it to pi?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619753419899991396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143925273655347334.post-63213322472846001412013-03-11T19:37:46.281+00:002013-03-11T19:37:46.281+00:00Good grief!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I still have a copy, on a cassette. Do you still have a BBC? I could probably make a copy for you.drsollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954188290191548178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143925273655347334.post-43843731427318619102013-03-11T16:43:37.773+00:002013-03-11T16:43:37.773+00:00I'm sorry this isn't related to this blog ...I'm sorry this isn't related to this blog entry but I just wanted to say what fond memories I have of Hot Cakes.<br /><br />As children my friends and I had great fun with it.
