  • As part of the International Hackerspace Open Day we're planning to run an all-day, free computer repair session in The Gamer Club - we'll also help install Linux if you want to give it a try.

    If you or someone you know has a computer or laptop that needs a bit of TLC or a device that could get a new lease of life with a fresh install then let them know about this event and we can help get them set up.

    We're also looking for volunteers to help others, either with repairs or installs so there will be a number of people on site on the day to help everybody out. Additionally if anybody has any small SSD drives they'd be willing to donate, they'd go a long way to helping upgrade some older laptops.

  • "I run a newsletter, Doodling Data, where I create hand-drawn data doodles/visualisations, I rant about the data world and write more technical/ sciencyposts

    I will go through a few of my data visualisations, from different realms, and explain how I made them, the motivations and what I learned along the way. I usually treat funky and quirky topics that are meant to generate a smile, for example in literature, art or music, but sometimes I also do some with a less lighthearted theme, such as in climate change.

    I will try to make the point that doing things by hand when you're all day in front of a screen is not only relaxing but extremely rewarding! "
