Open hack night Friday night (Aug 27th), 8pm till…
I think I've got the energy to be at the lab and handle an open hack night from 8pm till whenever. So doors will be open! Maybe we will play a documentary or two, and mentally prepare for the high altitude balloon launch going down on Saturday. See you there!
“Get Lamp” Screening, C64 and more
If you missed the "Get Lamp" Screening on Friday, you missed a good time.
The labs got in full swing around 9:30 and saw a lot of general conversation and general hacking.
Harold continues to push the 757 Labs in Space project forward, and Friday saw a lot of soldering, testing and the intermittent sounds of the life-support like de-soldering machine.
Vex brought in Commodore 64 with a couple of floppy drives which worked like a champ after he discovered a decidedly non-enduser mod to enabling them. We had a random assortment of software, including one title which you would have had to be a REALLY desperate man to ever play. Are those Mom jeans?
We had a few new people around which is always good to see and remember anyone is welcome to come and hang out.
Of course we screened the documentary Get Lamp: The Text Adventure Documentary which was a pretty interesting look into the early life of INFOCOM and the world of Interactive fiction.
Look for some pictures soon.
Open hack night, Friday Jul 30th, 8pm till midnight+
Just a heads up, the lab is open for a general open hack night on Friday. Everyone is welcome to visit. We will probably be working on a project or two, and people are welcome to bring their own projects to work on, or ideas to discuss. Software, hardware, whatever. It's been a while since we've held a general hack night, and hopefully we can move back to doing it twice a month or more.
