The Cowtown Computer Congress

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

The elevator to get into the space is currently being upgraded. It will be out of commission for the next few days. I heard from our photography-loving cave neighbor that it should be back up and running by Tuesday. For the time being, however, getting to the space will be trickier than usual.

We got permission from Dean Realty (and from our neighbor) to use some of the spaces underground until the elevator is fixed, but ONLY AFTER 5:00 PM (and I suppose into the wee hours of the morning). Having said that, I don’t know for certain when the gate closes. I do know it won’t lock you in. It opens automatically as you leave.

You will likely have to park topside and walk a block or so to the cave entry to get access during the day, as we are not allowed to use the paid-for parking spaces (read: any below ground) during business hours.

Thanks go to Asmodian X for putting some drive into putting some order into the chaos that is the workshop area. Knowing him, he likely put in quite a bit of the actual labor as well. The new layout works nicely. I had to use the drill press today and I like having the workbenches in an island configuration like this.  The addition of storage bins is also a big plus.

Also, I brought in a couple of much-needed bottle openers. Maybe now we can stop using the edge of the counter, screwdrivers, and other brute-force bottle-opening methods.
