Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.
And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!
Things of Note
- Adrian McEwen: Writing MCQN Ltd #weeknotes and experimenting with using Gifcurry to create animated GIFs. Here’s one of the #signal #secure comms on #Arduino. Next time I should think a bit more about framing so I can make shorter (and smaller!) GIFs pic.twitter.com/0lb7SRigCT
- Alex Lennon: I dropped off Bella’s latest creation – Apple Crumble – for you guys DoES Liverpool this morning (assuming Matthew Croughan leaves some. Does that boy sleep?!). Should be nice warmed up / with custard I reckon. #DoESEats #weeknotes pic.twitter.com/gP2qGNPHI6
- Adrian McEwen: The latest MCQN Ltd #weeknotes (or monthnotes, in this particular case) are now online: Weeks 679-682 – Making IoT More Secure dlvr.it/Qpy3K8
- Jackie Pease: I’ve posted this summary of the recent visit to Famalicão, the “textile city” of Portugal, on the DoES Liverpool website. Hopefully it will be of interest – there are definitely opportunities for collaboration there #weeknotes doesliverpool.com/business/visit…
- Alex Lennon: This #KiwiCo #TinkerCrate is pretty awesome #making #weeknotes pic.twitter.com/eh4zOyC1yk
- Alex Lennon: … had an interesting chat with Andy Stanford-Clark who recommended using #regex and guess what? SQLitev3 supports #regex queries. I think this could be quite a neat little write-up if I can get it all going! #weeknotes
