🧵 New blog post from TOG Hackerspace!

We’ve been thinking about repair culture, Repair Cafés and… darning socks. A pair of Inisheer socks were saved from the bin with a quick bit of needle-and-thread magic.

This kettle couldn’t be repaired at TOG open night: dead short across the heating element, and the element is bonded into the kettle so it’s not replaceable. Off to recycling. ♻️

Today we activated POTA site IE-0228 from the National Botanic Gardens.
A lovely Sunday outing with Daniel EI8ICB and Jeffrey EI7IRB, and what we believe was the first POTA activation from the site.

Thanks to South Dublin Radio Club for their net.

A lovely bit of Monday-night tinkering at TOG: resurrecting a ~25-year-old Canon camcorder by grafting in 2×18650 cells after the original battery gave up.
720×576 video — not far off “standard VGA”, and plenty of retro charm. 🔧🔋📼
