A large number of keys for operating the machine will be cut, but it cannot be used without a safety induction (it's too easy to break).
We're discussing cooling on IRC.
Vinyl Cutter
Muz has got the vinyl cutter working, with some prior help from Artag.

User:Jasper got the SGI O2 booting properly.
Arcade machine
The arcade machine now has freeplay enabled. Mameification will follow in the next few weeks.
Space
Furniture
A load of very nice chairs were donated by Artag. These are worth £350+ each new.
Russ will be ordering the wood for the worktops some time this week, so we may be building these on Bank Holiday Monday (30th).

Discussion about the Kitchen has started. Please weigh in with any knowledge you have!
Door entry
Neil and Mark finally got the door control system working. Please call Mark if you have trouble getting it open.
