Farset Labs
Hopefully it’s not big-headed to say that we’re chuffed with the outcome of our very first open event last weekend. One of our founding members Matt Campbell brought in a 28-hour non-stop startup hackathon called SpringUp and, to put it simply, five new web businesses were launched overnight. It’s nice when you say it like […]
Farset Labs is planning on running an event to introduce any person of any age to embedded programming; spanning from building your own controller board that you can take home, right up to programming it with some basic functionality. But we want to get the community’s opinion before we set anything in stone. Please, take […]
Today (Sunday) only! Heat death is reversed, pigs fly, and satan skates to work. And there’s a free lunch.
As we creep up towards 100 Facebook likes, it’s about time that we started some proper community events on a regular basis. When do you want to have a weekly tech-get-together in the Event Space? We want to open up the space to our community, just to chill out and chat about their working/playing week […]
After the final touches to our massive blackboard were completed in the event space, and after the initial rush of impulse drawing had subsided, two members jointly decided to have a go at something more interesting. Myself and Daniel Reid used a kindly-donated projector and a packet of white chalk, coupled with a helping of […]
Things move quickly here at Farset Towers ^H^H^H^H^H Labs. Twenty four hours ago, we had nothing special happening soon and no real ‘pattern’ of events. We hadn’t made any real changes to the space other than the brilliant work that the Weavers Court contractors have done to get the space up to spec. First big […]
Today saw even more donations come in, especially of some really cool old gaming hardware. So we’ve taken a rush of blood to the head and decided to take them all out of their boxes tomorrow (Tuesday), put them out on tables and have a play. You’re more than welcome to join us and explore […]
The launch day went, in our humble opinions, fantastically. As in, really fantastic. We’ve met our targets and everything passed smoothly, but, far more importantly, we had an awful lot of fun. A range of projects were attempted by those in the space over the 24-hr period, some of which were unexpected, all of which […]
Today is the day; After a long time coming (too long for some), Farset Labs is ready to launch in an ‘open beta’ stage. From 1500, we’ll open the doors (for a small fee for non-members), and we’ll be live-blogging here for your delectation. To get involved in the community; join us on IRC, Facebook, Twitter, […]
Another day of frantic work and continuous driving has brought us much closer to our launch tomorrow. The plumbers have completely fitted the toilets to a great standard and the electricians are making sense of the circuits around the building; the puzzle pieces that were outside our control have pretty much fallen into place. After […]
