Hi y'all
Just a heads up, Luke, who lives a few doors down from me, is doing a talk
at the Aberdeen Data Meetup / Python User Group, this Wednesday. If you're
interested in one or more of Python, Data, Weather, 3D printing and ML,
then it might be up your street.
Luke's blurb about his talk...
I will talk to the evolution of the project over the last few years, from
construction (learning to solder) access to 3D printing (Thanks Aberdeen
Library) and various customizations including an air quality sensor,
deploying a website, adding a camera and use of a machine learning
algorithm on my dataset to generate my own temperature forecast. The
learning curve has been steep, with numerous mis-steps and "if i were to do
it again" anecdotes.
6–8pm, May 8th, ONE Tech Hub, it's £6, including drinks & pizza.
Tickets at...

I'd not been to the Python User Group or the Data Meetup for a while, but I
went to the last Python one, and it was good, pretty relaxed and fun, not
just me being biased because there was an awesome talk by Rob :)
Anyway, see you there if you're heading along.
Cheers
Andy
Hi Tom
I remember having similar safety issues in other hacklabs. It’s an easy
mistake to make.
For risk mitigation we made it safer by default using a timer socket like
this. (Press the button for 30 minutes of power)
https://cpc.farnell.com/energenie/ener001/automatic-shutdown-timer/dp/PL130…
I’m afraid there’s still no technical solution to the social problem of
hackers being untidy :)
(There may be a technical solution to the existence of landlords but it’s
highly discouraged)

Hi,
Due to medical reasons I need to cancel my attendance at EMF. Before
cancelling it on the EMF website, I wanted to check if any here still wants
a ticket. I can transfer it via the EMF website, at cost price, £180.
Cheers,
Wouter
Hello Hackers,
I'll be in space tomorrow in the mid afternoon for a number of hours. I'm gonna faff at and with some computers and make a light if I can find all the bits
Are you coming in?

Hey,
Happy Tuesday, it's open evening again :)
I'll be along from 7:30ish.
There is a bunch of blurb at https://www.57north.org.uk/open-evenings and,
yes, there is a bug in the code on the page that means on Tuesdays it
show's the first date twice, aye, you're welcome :p
There is some sticker making planned...

We're at: Suite H, Kettock Lodge Innovation Park, Campus Two Bridge of Don,
Aberdeen, AB22 8GU
Reply if you like, let us know your plans. If you need a hand with
transport, just ask. If you're coming along for the first time, awesome,
maybe bring a laptop or something to tinker with.
See you there.

Hi,
Has anyone else been receiving suspicious messages claiming to be from
HackLab members?
Are any of you clever enough to stop them?
Messages I have received...
Claiming to be From....
Sean
Robbie
Hibby
Subjects like...
"Sad Announcement"
"Sad News"
"18 Photos"
"Important Update"
I have been receiving the messages for at least a year now - mostly
"from" Sean but from others in the last couple of months.
The thing they have in common is that they _*claim*_ to come from
HackLab members.
I have started taking screen shots before deleting them which might help
you investigate.
I hope they are not a dangerous as I fear and that you can help to stop
them?
Go well,
Mike
Hi team,
I’m gonna be in the space this afternoon for a few hours. Some shit needs gluing down.
I’d love it if you’d drop in and say hello. We can lament together things that should stay still moving and those that should move being stuck.
I’ll be in from sometime after 3
- Tom
Morning
Hope you're doing ok on this damp Aberdeen day.
It's Tuesday again, weirdly 7 days after the last one, so it's open evening
at the hackspace. I'll be in from around 7:45, hope you can make it along
too.
All the bits and bobs about open evening are on

Heya
It's Open evening at 57 North again, come along and hang out and hack on
stuff if you fancy.
I'll be along from around 7:30pm.
Some blurb about open evenings is on
https://www.57north.org.uk/open-evenings Hit the buzzer (Suite H) and
someone will let you in.
Hit back with a reply if you like, if you want to share your plans, or if
you need a lift there or home.
If you've not been before, come along, it'd be lovely to see you there,
maybe bring a laptop, and perhaps a project you want to tinker with.
See you there :)
Andy
Hello Hackers,
I'm planning to head down to the space this Saturday, maybe from the mid afternoon for at least a little while. Let me know if you'll join me.
