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…

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…

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…

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…

The Farset Labs team is still in the space at one in the morning – now that’s dedication! We went in this morning with no working network, no backbone connection, little equipment and no computers running. Over fourteen hard hours later, we now have every viable socket networked, switches installed,…

Thank you very much to everyone who has offered to donate equipment to Farset Labs – we’re very grateful, as members’ generosity is what has allowed us to start. However, none of it is in the space yet, so we’d like to let you know that today (Wednesday 4th April),…

We very much appreciate the donations that we’ve already received – without the community, Farset Labs doesn’t exist, so it’s great to see people supporting us. What we’re seeing however are some pretty big-ticket items, which is great, but we also need the small stuff. Grouped together, the items that…

Things have been moving fairly quickly (compared to the normal speed of Northern Irish progress), but it’s about time we made a public update. Due to the practicalities of developing something like this, a lot of the day-to-day development of Farset Labs has been done with little publicity. This was…
