T-Shirt Printing on the Cheap!

So I've been experimenting with GIMP on my Ubuntu laptop as I no longer have access to any Photoshop software. I'm getting used to it and have made the following t-shirt designs that I intend to print and sell at the Hackspace (should anyone wish to buy them).

One is based on a t-shirt I see Adam Savage wearing on Mythbusters that reads

"Hacking is not a crime"

which seems appropriate for Hackspace. I've

shoved a load of noun-project symbols above the text. I like the symbols but the t-shirt would work just as well with fewer or non-at-all.

The noun project is an intere

sting web page that got it's funding on Kick Starter. I'll do this t-shirt in any colour btw.

The other t-shirt is a little more simple and is based on our Hackspace rule zero (robbed off London Hackspace)

DO NOT BE ON FIRE

Man on fire is a running man symbol from noun project with a fire design of my own. again will be avilable in any colours wanted.

There will be a how to screen print t-shirts on the cheap workshop at Nottingham Hackspace this summer!

Move Day Hackspace 2.0

When I arrived at the Hackspace my fellow Hackers were already feeding their faces with bacon cobs and coke. We'd agreed to a gathering at the Hackspace at 10:00.

So many little bits of junk had to be tidied up, boxed and carried out to cars for transport onto the new Hackspace. We were fortunate to have a glorious sunny day.

As the van was not due until 12:00 we got loading smaller estate cars for several journey with small items. Tony S to command the away team at Hackspace 2.0 and coordinated the unloading.

We had bad news about 11:30. The van couldn't be started. No one knew what to do. We started making contingencies. James however dipped into his "little black book" and called up a friend who'd house mate has a big van. Apparently they could decide what to do with their holiday weekend...

The van came not a moment too soon. We'd managed to get all the smaller stuff off in the estate cars (thanks John & Russell) poor old Michael looked truly gutted about the other van we couldn't start, but James' friends Katey and Matt seemed more than happy to help us with their Transit High-Cube.

Once we'd finished moving things into the space we had to start the Mammoth task of sorting through all that stuff and thinking where to put things.

Many arguments were caused by me and my OCD and bossy ways. We finally got some concensus about where to put different things (well at least for now)!

Jason and I spent an hour or two building big racking. David learned to do a bit more Unicycling (as well as doing a whole lot more organising and shifting stuff).

Matt and James made a start on surveying the lighting. All in all it was a very busy day.

Can't wait for Wednesday night open hack!
