Post:The Hackerspace Planning Rolls On

From Fozzee.net

The attached photo shows a work-in-progress home networking project that I've been invited to help revamp this weekend. Components include a file server, cable, data and phone distribution, along with the usual networking gear. "After" pictures to follow. This has nothing to do with the hackerspace, I just wanted to post the "before" photo :)

With regard to said hackerspace, the emails keep rolling in (up to 6 people total)... If you're interested and haven't yet, drop me a line so you can get notified when we get a group together next. While the purpose of these get-togethers right now is to plan a more regular social gathering and eventually a physical space, social value is already there, for me... It's nice to meet new people interested in technology and whatnot.

As something of a result (and after discusssing with a new friend), I'm finally giving into Ron's shaming, and am going to make a genuine effort to learn Google Sketchup to replace the 16-bit CAD package I've been using for the last 11 years. So far, I've determined that I have to learn to draw in 3D (as opposed to extruded 2D), and that Sketchup has an inferior set of import/export tools relative to what I'm used to (specifically, importing and exporting DXF files is not supported by the Free Sketchup; Not that I use that often) More to come as I progress.
