Hi, folks; hope this isn’t too presumptuous of me, but I wondered if I
might get an invite to come to your next meeting and see what you’re
all up to? I’ve not long moved up to Stockport from the South coast
(yeah, yeah, I know - soft Southern jessie!), and would like to expand
my local geek social circle somewhat… and a hackspace group strikes
me as exactly what I’m looking for!
So you can vet me (ahem) for suitability: I have a background in
electronics and computing, though I haven’t really done much actual
hands-on work with hardware since I dropped out of university in 1996
(unless you count fiddling with guitar effects pedals, four years of
assembly and ICT work in factories, and helping out a circuitbender
friend from time to time).
However, I’m still very much a technology obsessive, and very much
engaged with the culture around hackers and makers; I’m a writer,
blogger (I run the science fiction webzine Futurismic, f’rinstance)
and freelance webworker, and I love being around people with wild and
crazy ideas. If you’re willing to accommodate a scruffy sci-fi nerd
and heavy metal fan who’s more accustomed to holding a pen than a
soldering iron, I’d love to come and meet up with you all some time in
the near future - let me know if that’d be cool. 
Peace…
Hi Paul
Of course! The more the merrier, we’re an open group, so anyone who fancies
coming along to the meetings can do!

Hi, folks
Is that “Armchair Anarchist” as in “The Armchair Anarchist’s Almanac”?
That was a classic

called Kingmaker… :-sOn Jan 18, 3:29 pm, Richard Smedley rich...@sc.lug.org.uk wrote:
