Question for the other #RepairCafes out there.

Do you use #RepairMonitor?

That's www.repairmonitor.org for anyone that doesn't know.

And if your #RepairCafe doesn't use Repair Monitor, what do you use?

I know you can do something similar with the #RestartProject but I don't know of any others.

OK. Stats time. #RepairMonitor isn't the best at presenting the data, but it's the only one I've got until I can be arsed to download the data and build my own dashboard, so it'll do for now.

Maybe a day when it's 32c outside is the right day to build a dashboard inside. Well, it's on my task list, just not at the top yet. Not even in today's heat. #repaircafe #repair

Today was our second #RepairCafe in #RugbyTown in May. Things have, as expected, quietened down a little since we started opening twice a month. Enough items to keep us busy to the end of the session, but not so busy that we have to turn people away. I think that two people did leave without getting their items repaired, but I think that was because they turned up too near to the end of the session. New #repairers joined today too.

I shall confess that I have recently built an adjustable bench top power supply with an old laptop charger and some bits off eBay and I took it with me today to do some real world testing. It passed with flying colours so I'm quite proud of that. (AKA no one died and nothing exploded.)

I'll upload our stats once #RepairMonitor has made them available.

Results from Saturday's #RepairCafe in #RugbyTown. We use #RepairMonitor to log all of our work so that it's captured by Repair Cafe International. This gives us a few stats and thanks to the fact that we have a session on the first Saturday of the month and that we have two sessions per month, we are currently at the top of the Items Through the Door chart. The percentage fixed measure isn't one that we get competitive about. As long as the end of life number is low, then we're happy.

So, having uploaded our fixes from yesterday onto #RepairMonitor we can now see how we are doing officially.

I should point out that I really don't think that all UK repair cafes upload their results to Repair Monitor, so this isn't very official at all, but it makes us feel good.

We were expecting (read hoping for) a quiet session today to allow us to also do some organising, It was slightly less busy (chaotic) than usual, but still kept us busy for the full three hours.

The forms haven't been uploaded to #RepairMonitor yet, but when they have been I'll post the charts.

For now here are some photos from the event.
