Walked into town and back for the first time in about two weeks today, and I felt it. I really need to be walking into town and back at least once per week.

We had a meeting at the new dspace premises in the weekend. I think it will be a really worthwhile project. From my own selfish perspective, I have the opportunity to build my new computer there, with the guidance of some very experienced people, as well as being able to learn lots of new skills in soldering, electronics and software for a minimal cost. On the other side of the coin I think it will be of huge benifit to the city over time, as teenagers take advantage of the project. It will develop some highly creative people into skilled inovators, which can only be a good thing for the local economy and culture over the medium to long term.
