Member and Project Reports
Pidge
- Working on making the main table a bit nicer, got some clamps to hold tables together and made some spacers so cords can go through the middle without leaving giant gaps. I'm going to be gone for a couple weeks if anyone wants to take over.
Shway
Radio club is resuming!
Jay
Setting up auto shutoff for heat pump to save power, it may turn off seemingly spontaneously so just use the remote to turn it back on if that happens.
Brian
Is doing some witchy horoscope stuff, talk to him about yours.
Trek
The arcade cabinet is nearing completion. And there is there is now a #game-makers project for a HM game jam.
Xander
Want to jam with people too, but musically.
Jon M
Wants to do hybrid tech music stuff.
Thomas
