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! The easiest way is to post on Mastodon—if we follow you there, just add #weeknotes to any post you want included. If you’re not on Mastodon but would like to be, chat to one of the organisers and we’ll help you get started. And of course, you can always just send us an email!
Things of Note
- Jackie Pease:The Holy Pen of Antioch, sacred talisman of a pub quiz team I’m a member of. Its magic powers appeared to be blocked, so I took it to the monthly Repair Café at DoES Liverpool. There Mike Rush reverently cleaned out some ink from a previous refill that had leaked, hence restoring the Holy Pen’s previous awesomeness.
(Disclaimer: there is no evidence that any pen has supernatural abilities) #WeekNotes
- matthewcroughan: Running the #mixxx DJ software on a OnePlus 6 at the @birkenhack village! It is running @nixos_org, using #phosh as a display manager. #emfcamp #emf2026 #emfcamp2026 #weeknotes #birkenheadisthenewberlin [Ed: See original post for video]
- DoES Liverpool: A happy customer collecting her toy pram at the monthly Repair Café here at DoES Liverpool. Pram repaired by Siobhan. #WeekNotes
- DoES Liverpool: Two lovely clocks brought in to our monthly Repair Café by Rebecca, a regular visitor. Mike R helped her revive them by changing the batteries, cleaning the contacts and refitting the hands. Rebecca is delighted! #WeekNotes
- DoES Liverpool: Photos sent in by Kristina of just some of the lovely gifts she’s made recently using our #eufymakeE1 UV texture printer Vivi. Great to see all the textures she’s been able to add to her prints. #eufymakeuvprinter#makerspace#WeekNotes
