#HitchinHackspace open evening is on Monday evening.
We will be open from 19:30 until 22:00 to give folks who may be interested in what we do, and what facilities we can provide, a chance to come and have a look round and meet some of our members.
All are welcome. If you have ever wondered what we did to convert a derelict toilet into a hackspace, or what a "hackspace" is for that matter, come and have a look around.
If you like to create, make or craft things why not pay us a visit?
We have tools and equipment that cover a wide range of hobbies, crafts and technologies: woodwork, metalwork, electronics, laser cutting, vinyl cutting, sewing, 3D printing.....
Free tea, coffee and a biscuit or two. #Hitchin#Letchworth#Stevenage#Baldock#NorthHerts#hackspace#NorthHertsMakers #make#craft#invent#learn
I try now #Logseq and this is #OpenSource and I would like to like it but somewhere I can't manage to understand and use it. I don't just want to write down my thoughts and #ideas, I also want to be able to check off a #todo list… 😐
"Start small. Don't try to build a system overnight. Doing so will make both adopting the tool harder and take you down a rabbithole of customisations you don't need."
Free mentoring for designers from under-represented groups. This stuff is so important. Designers of all kinds make the world we live in. As an industry, design NEEDS as many diverse voices as possible. #design#makers#learn#lgbtqia#bame#disability#workingClass
People ask questions to #learn. I'm at a #conference today and I went up to an exhibitor and asked them about what they do. I'll admit…I was drawn in by their cool logo and nice swag 😅
The person working the table said “you’ve never heard of $foo?!”
In 1910 in Copenhagen, the 2nd International Conference of Socialist Women adopted the idea of an "International Women's Day" from a proposal by Clara Zetkin (German Social Democratic Party), although no date was set.
The "Journal du CNRS" notes that "Women's Day was therefore the initiative of the socialist movement and not of the feminist movement, which was very active at the time". The historian Françoise Picq adds that "it was precisely to counteract the influence of feminist groups on the women of the people that Clara Zetkin proposed this day", rejecting "the alliance with the 'feminists of the bourgeoisie'": https://lejournal.cnrs.fr/articles/journee-des-femmes-la-veritable-histoire-du-8-mars@histodons
Since I am learning #Rust again and for other reasons, it takes longer for me to understand #RustLang. Well, today I solved the above mentioned problem. I #learned not to be annoyed by error messages when compiling because the written code does not work. Just read it carefully and take it into account and the #errors are solved and for me these are mostly sapalotte typos – tomorrow it goes on positively ➕🦀
