Farset Labs
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 […]
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, WiFi running, our Tibus internet […]
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), Farset Labs will be open […]
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 are listed below are pretty […]
