In case you missed the Next Meeting page there is a Geek Cluster meet-up on Wednesday 14th July 2010 at Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff. Bring hacks, homemade musical instruments, ZX81s and stuff to show!
Well. Things have been a bit busy around here recently.
But we must do a Cardiff meeting sometime very soon.
How are we fixed for the week of the 14th? (Friday 18th Perhaps?)
And where? Vulcan? Central Bar?
Central Bar on a Friday night… are you insane? =)
I’d prefer to leave it til the end of the month, if that’s okay. Got a lot of things on my plate right now.
I could do Fri 18th, maybe a social at the Romilly beer garden in Canton? (OK it’s my local. Better than Wetherspoons on a Friday though.) I think a minimum of 2 of us is enough, then if anyone else can make it even better?
I can’t do end of the month – nor any of July! But have fun if you meet up then.
Insane? Quite possibly. Other suggestions grateful received.
18th or end of month? Or some other time?
I suppose I could do both (subject to Mrs Dorkomatic’s approval)
Anyone else care to throw their hat into the ring? (What hat? What ring?)
I guess the student population will be dwindling shortly.. When and where shall we meet? #geekcluster (It’s a shame not to have Carl with us; but I’m sure we’ll cope – he’ll be off to Glastonbury etc…) So when is a good time for you all?

Not sure I’ll be able to make it until my head is a bit better (had a bad weekend)

A quick summary of the event:
July’s Geek Cluster was our first at Chapter. And Chapter is of course, a fantastic, buzzing, creative place. In many ways it’s exactly the right place for Geekcluster. (On the downside, it can be too busy, noisy and a bit expensive for drinks too.) But I think we may stick with it for our Cardiff meetings for a while at least. Maybe we’ll find somewhere better; but it won’t be easy.
Anyway, without our hardware-hackers in attendance we had a slightly more literary bent this time. Despite our diminshed numbers, we had fun. We talked about Museums and Libraries, Yarnbombing and Guerrilla-Gardening, reading-habits, iphones & android phones and e-readers, specialization and expertise amongst geeks, typing, handwriting, fonts and even calligraphy. We had a few pipe-dreams on aerial-photography, ballistics, hackerspaces etc…
Puns and wordplay were also a constant theme.

Talking about living in a museum…
