Hello :)
It's Tuesday, so open evening at the hackspace again.
There is some handy blurb at...
https://www.57north.org.uk/open-evenings
We're at:
Suite H, Kettock Lodge Innovation Park,
Campus Two Bridge of Don,
Aberdeen, AB22 8GU
If you've not been before, be at the coordinates 57°10'46.2"N
2°06'38.2"W wearing a pink carnation and a jaunty hat, then a masked
team will bundle you into a van and take you to the space.
I'll be along around 8pm, maybe a bit before. Will be tinkering with
MicroPython and drinking coffee. Let us know your plans or whatever.
Heads for tomorrow evening's Python User Group, 6pm at ONE Codebase,
see https://ti.to/code-the-city/apug-sep-2024
See you this eve.

Hi,
I've just watched a discussion about "Meshtastic" on Destination Linux:

> https://meshtastic.org/docs/introduction/
@Iain, are you interested or have you already used something similar for
alerting volunteers to go to a resilience hub and start up the generator
during a winter storm during a prolonged power-cut when all the phone
networks are down?
Bye,
Tony.
Hi,
I'll be in around 3pm to hack on my website theme for a couple of hours.

Hi
I'll be along, probably about 8pm too. Will try and finish sorting
the donated bits from last Thursday, sorry, it's a bit messy, there is
currently a table still covered with miscelaneos Arduinos, shields,
hats and screen. Also a bit of van unloading I guess. If I start
complaining about the Windsor protocol, and digital paperwork for B2B
and B2C for shipping stuff to Northern Ireland, tell me to shut up, as
it's a hell world that's best to not know about.
See you in the space :)

Hi
Asking for a friend, but is anyone looking for web development work in
or around Aberdeen? This would be staff or contractor, office based
or hybrid, at a medium sized media agency, they're a nice bunch of
people. Some experience of fullstack, PHP and ideally CraftCMS.
Let me know if you'd be interested and I'll pass on your details.
Thanks
Andy
Hello
Oddly enough, 7 days after the last one, it's Tuesday again, so open
evening at the hackspace.
I'll be there from around 6pm.
The details of Open Tuesday including 'getting here' are available at
https://www.57north.org.uk/open-evenings
We're at...
Suite H, Kettock Lodge Innovation Park,
Campus Two Bridge of Don,
Aberdeen, AB22 8GU
It's the AGM this evening too, at 8pm, we've got an agenda at
https://github.com/hackerdeen/meetings/blob/master/2024/2024-07-30_AGM_Agen…
See you there if you're coming :)
Cheers
Andy
hi folks,
I have a suspicion my home office does has issues with CO2 accumulation
when windows/doors are closed, which makes me sleepy. It is that, or my
work is not challenging enough ;-)
To rule out the latter, I would like to test the indoor air quality for a
couple of days. Has anyone got perhaps an unused CO2 sensor lingering
about, or Chinese rip-off of the SCD-40 sensor, that I could use for a
couple of days?
Cheers,
Wouter (Aberdeen)
Hello
It's the hackspace AGM tomorrow, at 8pm. It's more of an
organisational formality, than anything mad exciting, but it'd be
great if you can make it, in person or virtually. It usually lasts
about 20 or 30 minutes.
Some AGM things to mention...
We've sent a link to the agenda previously, but it's at...
https://github.com/hackerdeen/meetings/blob/master/2024/2024-07-30_AGM_Agen…
If you're not already a director, have you thought about becoming one?
We need members to volunteer to be directors at AGMs, the space can't
function without directors, so please consider it. I'd say it
probably requires 30 minutes per month at most, so it's not a big
commitment of time. Also it enables you to help concoct evil and
sinister plans for world domination (not really, sadly, just trying to
make it sound more exciting).
You can join remotely via Google Meet with the link
https://meet.google.com/cfr-owbj-pnr , sorry, we should use something
non-proprietary, we'll try to do that next time.
Hope to see you there.
Andy
Hi,
Sorry, I won't be able to make it into Aberdeen for our HackSpace AGM
because we've got visitors arriving here on Tue 30 Jul.
I'll probably be in again on Tue 13 Aug.
Hope all goes well,
Tony.
Hey
I've been pondering what to do with the large amount of lego we have
in the house. The kids are well into their teens and don't really use
it anymore.
So, my question is, would a large amount of lego be a positive thing
to have in the hackspace? It currently lives in a large pine tray,
140cm long, by 70cm wide, and 14cm deep, which has a lid that sits on
top.
I guess it could live in the sofa area, and could double up as a
table. It'd maybe make the space more kid friendly, and might be fun
for everyone. Conversely, we have a lot of stuff already, and maybe
we don't need more. It could be put in a smaller box/boxes and be kept
out of the way, the pine tray is pretty large.
What do you think? Positives, negatives, suggestions, thoughts?
Cheers
Andy
