SgtWilko | Hiya all, I was just thinking this room was quite.
| 14:24:42 |
SgtWilko | Simon Ridley: I've not seen any updates from the space recently, anything interesting happening? | 14:25:19 |
oly | yeah has been for a while which is a shame :( | 14:25:37 |
LupusAraneae | Just real life stuff in the way but its community space you are just as welcome as others to do stuff | 14:26:31 |
SgtWilko | In reply to @_discord_263421171746209794:t2bot.io Just real life stuff in the way but its community space you are just as welcome as others to do stuff I was meaning this matrix room was quiet. We used to have a lot of conversation and engagement in here. | 14:27:31 |
oly | I guess I used to facilitate that quite a bit, but I don't get much time for anything these days let alone making things | 14:28:47 |
SgtWilko | In reply to @oly:matrix.org I guess I used to facilitate that quite a bit, but I don't get much time for anything these days let alone making things Parenting can have that effect! | 14:29:31 |
SgtWilko | I did nothing on my projects from 2008 to 2014 | 14:30:01 |
oly | I have a few years yet then :p | 14:30:21 |
CptWaistcoat | Hey! No new updates as such, the space continues to be used by members. I was actually down there last week with Orion using the laser cutter and 3D printer. This month should see the laser cutter fully paid off meaning the community will reconvene to look at what's next to buy and focus on. Like LupusAraneae said, personal / professional life has also slowed me down as I recently became unemployed so finding a new job has had to be my focus | 14:30:50 |
SgtWilko | Well, for me it became habit until PiWars got me excited to work in something again.
So learn from me, don't do what I did! | 14:31:36 |
oly | sorry to hear about that CptWaistcoat what sort of work are you looking for out of intrest ? | 14:32:45 |
oly | I started making a wigwam tent for ethan with a few branches I salvaged recently going low tech lol, | 14:33:31 |
CptWaistcoat | It is what it is, the company was quite toxic. Hoping to go back to being a digital forensics analyst | 14:34:25 |
LupusAraneae | We are looking into PiWars aswell | 14:34:45 |
SgtWilko | Nice, assuming you can find a raspberry pi, they're as common as hen's teeth at the moment | 14:35:30 |
CptWaistcoat | Yeah our focus has really been about getting both rooms useable and with the tools to cater for what members want to do. We've had a few visits from people who want to do more wood working, so we're currently looking into that as well. Once both rooms are good we would like to revisit some of the community projects like piwars, hacky racers etc | 14:37:23 |
CptWaistcoat | SgtWilko which reminds me what are you doing with the radio equipment at the space? | 14:38:09 |
SgtWilko | Oh heck, I forgot about that | 14:38:29 |
SgtWilko | Will my card still open the door? | 14:38:50 |
LupusAraneae | SHould do | 14:38:58 |
SgtWilko | Ok, I'll try to get back over there soon. Life is hectic at the mo | 14:46:55 |

SgtWilko | Evening @room ,
I've got some old X10 home automation kit I'm going to get rid of.
No idea how good it is, hasn't been used in about a decade (use at your own risk, type thing)
Anyone want it? | 17:50:15 |
