by Wouter Piessens

hello there, It's Tuesday, so we will have our weekly open night. 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, consuming sugary treats and the odd can of alcoholic beverage. 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 (Suite H) and someone shall come and rescue you from downstairs after a brief wait. There's plenty of parking, but if you don't have transport, then 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! We like our space being accessible for all. When visiting, please ensure you tidy up after yourself, clean any dishes, cups, cutlery and store them away. There are vacuum cleaners too, for cleaning the floor. If you have any questions, please ask one of the regular visitors or members for advise. I will be in today from about 730pm, improving a script that attempts to forecast Octopus Tracker price. Itight help me save half a penny every winter by delaying the washing machine usage. What are you up to? Cheerio,Wouter

Happy Tuesday, Open Eve at the hackspace, 1st of October '24

by Andy Gaskell

Heya Happy Tuesday, hope you're well. It's open evening at the hackspace today, hope to see you there. I'll be in around 8pm, but maybe a little earlier. Email back with your plans if you like. I'll be tinkering with bits and bobs, and also sorting through the kind donations from Gavin, that he dropped round last week, including lots of good books, so we'll maybe relocate books to the lounge, as we've too many to fit in the bookcase now. There is some good info about it 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, how no? Come along and see what's going down, and also up, and very possibly sideways. Bring a laptop or something to tinker with. If you need a lift, reply back to here, fair chance someone will be able to help out. Cheers Andy

AAoD Fundraising Quiz, 18th October

by Hibby

Hi all! Out ever patient hosts AAoD[1] are holding a fundraising quiz night for the local Fibromyalgia support group and Aberdeen Burns Society (Rabbie Burns that is) at the Ashvale on Friday 18th October. Tickets are £17 pp which includes your Ashvale supper. If anyone is interested please reply on list/privately and I can put you in touch to get tickets. They are concerned about low numbers so it'd be great if we could help them out and get a group going - they're a great charity and very worthy of support, aside from hosting us! Cheers, H [1] http://aad-online.com -- Hibby Debian Developer Packet Radioist MM0RFN

LoRa for a resilience hub

by Tony Travis

Hi, I've just watched a discussion about "Meshtastic" on Destination Linux: > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LaucZiOnFE > 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.

Re: [57north-announce] Open Tuesday 13/Aug/24

by Andy Gaskell

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 :) On Tue, 13 Aug 2024 at 16:20, 57North Announcements <57north-announce(a)lists.57north.org.uk> wrote: > > Aye fit like, dramatic looking clouds today - hope we all survived the thunder yesterday. > > It's Tuesday again, which means open evening at the space! > > 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 > > Reply to let us know your plans.
