Open Tuesday 29th August 2023

by Wouter Piessens

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: https://www.57north.org.uk/open-evenings .Hit the buzzer and someone shall come and rescue you from downstairs after a brief wait. There's plenty parking, but if you don't have transport get in touch either here or IRC and someone may be able to help you out! The number 1 bus comes nearby too. If you're new, I'd suggest you bring a laptop, and perhaps a project you want to work on. If you're not new, shoot a reply to the 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

iLamp

by Tony Travis

Hi, After trying every conceivable way to get a viable 32-bit PPC Linux with a web browser that can read https:// websites on my iLamp (15" G4 iMac), I gave up and installed Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 only to discover that PPC Safari has exactly the same problem that I had with Firefox on YDL 6.2! To cut a long story short, I've now installed the InterWebPPC port of Firefox under OS X 10.4.11 and this seems to work with most, but not all, secure https:// web sites. Then, I crashed and burned trying to listen to BBC Sounds, because there are no suitable codecs available. I retrieved my iLamp from the HackSpace because I didn't like it just sitting on the shelf gathering dust and being robbed of its keyboard. I've now bought two faulty keyboards off eBay, to be returned: The Apple A1048 is a membrane keyboard and not all of the keys were working on the two that I've bought. It's a fiddly job to repair the membrane tracks using a conductive pen and that would cost about the same as a second-hand keyboard, so I've risked it bought a third one - Fingers crossed that all they keys on this one will actually work! If anyone is interested in playing around with Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger on my G4 PPC iLamp then I'll bring it back into the HackSpace. Otherwise, it's going on eBay soon unless someone at the HackSpace wants it FOC?
