Hi
Looking at the Aurora forecast...
https://aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk/
...and the weather...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2657832
...it looks like this afternoon and evening might be good for Aurora
spotting, perhaps between 17:00 and 18:00. With sunset being 16:13,
clear skies between 16:00 and 18:00 and peak Aurora
between 17:00 and 18:00, maybe we'll be in luck.
As someone who's probably* never seen the northern lights, any
suggestions on where to go near Aberdeen, or tips? Also, for the sake
of kids' expectation management, if it looks like it does in photos,
to the naked eye?
Cheers
Andy
*unsure about some psychedelic experiences up blackford hill in
Edinburgh in the 90s :)
Happy halloween hackers :)

us what you'll be up to.

See you there
hello there, It's Tuesday once again, so we will have our weekly open
night! Even though this email is quite short notice, it does not meant
we are not open tonight. If you've not heard of us, 57North get up to a
range of activities on Tuesday nights in our shared workspace, including
(but not limited to) social contact, programming, manufacturing weird
things and consuming sugary treats. Typically we kick off at 1930. We're
located at: Suite H Kettock Lodge Innovation Park Campus Two Bridge of
Don Aberdeen AB22 8GU Instructions for getting in are here:

list and tell us what you'll be up to, and maybe consider bringing a
friend. Please mention a time if you'll be in before me! I shall be in
from 715-730pm, working on a bit of my home energy alert system, again,
and learning some sqlite...Progress has been slow, but intentions are
still alive. Whether I will make progress today is questionable, but is
that really important on open Tuesdays? I will be leaving by 930pm, and
can offer a ride back into town. Drop an email to tell us when you'll be
in and what excitement you're getting up to? Cheerio, Wouter

Please join us from about 1930, if it is your first time bring a laptop to hide behind and your favorite ideas. You can find us at:

I'm going to spam a few places Sorry, not sorry.
The Coop I work for, Black Cat, are trying to get transition funding for Insulation and need people in the NE to vote please vote and share.
Black Cat is the worker cooperative, who operate the grassroots music venue Krakatoa, not for profit.
We are converting the 3 floors above Krakatoa to incorporate 8 double rooms and a sustainable vegetarian cafe, all of which will operate not-for-profit. This is aimed at providing low-cost B&B accommodation for touring musicians, booked to perform at Krakatoa and other local music venues.
This is projected to deliver a 90% reduction in energy costs over a conventional build, resulting in a significantly larger surplus that will be reinvested into enhancing the local grassroots music scene.

As you have probably noticed we have an A0 plotter in the hackerspace.
Unfortunately, is it currently inoperable due to a faulty printhead, a Canon PF-04.
How would people feel about the hackerspace using its funds to purchase a new printhead to get this plotter working?
Cheers,
Q
