The Dublin Hackerspace
This weekend we worked on a few project
This chair is made from a pallet, some foam & red velvet, check out insctructable for how we made it.
Working on a heat exchange for roof, it works off 350 cans painted black mounted on roof of TOG and then heat is pumped back into space. Will keep you up to date when we get further on with project main need is to fill up frame then take out bottom and top of cans.
Thanks to our local loco Ubuntu-ie we now have lots of new Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal cds. Desktop Kubuntu and even Server. So if you around town drop in and pick one up.
Also this weekend (Saturday 21st) members of Ubuntu-ie will be meeting in TOG to work on there team re-approval during the hackathon. More details can be found here -> http://t9.ie/y
Unfortunately not everyone in TOG thinks Ubuntu rocks. Check out the video after the break.

Lessons learned:
One very important thing I learned when building this and drilling such small holes cool your bit as much as possible otherwise you will end up spending a lot on bits that you do not want to.
Updated video from social night:
Hello all! This is just a quick note to let you know that Crafting Nights in tog are back. It’s been a little quiet of late (as people have exams or have to commute half way across Europe), but if crafting is your thing then we’ll be there this Tuesday (17th May) from 7pm. Every second Tuesday after that. All are welcome, any kind of craft admired, and a cup of tea to be had. Look forward to seeing you there 🙂
Come one come all:
We will be have a social night next Saturday 7th of May starting around 6pm if weather is night BBQ is on the cards. If weather is nice might start bit earlier but keep an eye out for what we are up to on website or get involved during the week.
We’re running our first electronics bootcamp. This event will take place over
5 weeks on Thursday evenings at TOG, from 19:00 to 21:30. First session
on Thursday 5th May.
This is a practical / hands-on introduction to electronics. Its suitable for
beginners, as no previous knowledge is required. If you’re curious about
electronics and don’t know where to start…. this is for you. No
soldering required, as we do everything on prototyping breadboards.
We’ll be building and testing circuits right from the first night. We’ll
be covering DC, AC, analog and digital electronics.
Over the 5 weeks, you’ll have a chance to play with multimeters,
oscilloscopes, signal generators and other electronic test equipment.
There’ll be lots of circuits to build and test along the way.
Cost is 50 euro for non-members. That’s just 10 euro per night. We have
a special rate of 40 euro for the unwaged.
If you’re interested, you can sign up below and you can pay on the first
night. There are 6 places available.
Course is now full, we will run it again in the future.
