Tuesday Meeting
Solexious provided hack-your-own cakes - just apply icing! For the more adventurous, he also made Bloody Mary tomatoes, injecting the ingredients with a syringe.
New space
There are rumblings about the possibility of sharing with James Darling's cafe project. If nothing else, it's in a popular location and may have all-day breakfasts.
More spaces will be lined up for visiting next week.
Space
- Jasper, Jonty and Solexious painted a magnetic (ferrous) blackboard on the stairs wall. This is bound to come in handy.

- Mark spent far too long getting the archers' phone working and tested downstairs. Only fifteen minutes was wasted when he forgot to plug it in. The phone and card machine have now been successfully migrated downstairs.

Projects
- The board is now at version 0.2. Tom Scott made a Javascript font creator (fontifier), bringing the number of languages involved to 3.

- Bob has one axis functioning on the Contraptor-based CNC router. At least two more are promised.
- The labcoat embroidery sample is finally here, and it looks great.
