Our friends over at NYCResistor pointed this one out to me, the BBC catch up with some hackers over in London. Great to see my type of people in the media 🙂
Micro-controller Mondays
Mondays are going to be the first designated day for a group to meet within the space. I’m happy to see that a good few members have taken a shine to Arduinos and being inspired  by the fun things that can be done with them with projects on the internet and by other hackerspaces.
So grab your Arudinos, pic’s and programers, electrical components, laptops and your great ideas and meet us in the space on the Monday the 6th of July at 7pm and we’ll see what we can do when we put our minds together.
See you all on Monday

TOG has a place to call home
TOG has a place to call home, we have just signed the lease on 3-room office space on Arran Quay. There will be plenty of space for everyone as we start to grow. It’s about 550 square foot with a bathroom and a shower. Soon we’ll start to distribute keys to full members and get people settled
If you want to see what o the place looks like Edster has taken some pic’s and put them up here for everyone to see. Home news on the space to follow.
