Based on a conversation from last month I know both @Rigormortis and Daniel are not far. Otherwise, @Pieterator, are you coming through?

Rigormortis

@damousey unfortunately I'm no longer out that ways.

I would love a focused feedback slot to show Witches & Liches and get some feedback. I might put out a build beforehand, but chances are good that you'll have to come to the meetup to check it out :)

Here's an early mockup to whet the appetite ;)

Very cool design!

Question: How do we actually get into the Bandwidth Barn once we've found the door in the basement in the Woodstock Exchange?

The last few times i've attended i've relied on kind strangers and friends who were going in anyway, or snuck in through the door when someone was leaving. The instructions by the door aren't clear how to actually dial The Bandwidth Barn and be let in legitimately.

on the keypad dial 300, that will ring the guard who will let you in. They have also moved the security station downstairs, so there should be someone there now to let you in

@The_Sired_Ward @damousey Unfortunately I will not be coming through for the meetup. Much sadness :(
Will definitely keep it in mind for next month's meetup.

The dialling doesn't always work - sometimes they forget to switch on the phone upstairs, sometimes there's no one official to answer it, ... - but the guard station downstairs does seem to be working. Sometimes they're in the BWB's hot desk area on the right and not at the door, though, so you have to shout if you're coming from the back entrance and are stuck outside at the safety gate.

@damousey I was intending to be there tonight but it now looks like I will be pulling a long day at work and won't get there in time.

Wanted to make it for this but had pre-existing plans.

Tag me when July's meetup is posted!

@NickWiggill: the next CT meetup will be 25 July. The thread and event should go up soon, but you can already mark your calendar. In fact, you can mark you calendar for the foreseeable future: it's the last Wednesday of the month (excluding December).

@francoisvn: Only just got this, a few hours too late, but on a deadline anyway so wouldn't have been possible. Next time!
