Yesterday saw another impromptu co-working session with Stef, Chris Unitt, Dubber and myself working in Rootys for most of the afternoon. It was good but as always we had power issues with Rootys only having one working electricity socket so we were sharing a power brick between us.
It got me thinking that the first step in working towards getting an actual co-working space would be a collectively owned 4-way extension lead so Stef bashed this out in a couple of minutes:
Nice! So I popped next door to Street Print to get a quote for some stickers, the idea being we can leave power strips around town with the Brum Coworking URL on them, or something. Stickers are cool anyway.
And so today I went to the cheap shop and bought a £2.99 4-way lead which I’m going to leave at the Custard Factory for the next time we need it. Consider this post a ground-breaking ceremony. It all starts here!
Dubber blogged here about the hilarity of Cow Orking
That’s great! I immediately thought “Power Sharing”!
Yes, it’s brilliant.
I was in Rootys with a work colleague of mine for a meeting with Punch Records. It was a productive meeting helped by the space we were in and the positive environment that is the Custard Factory.
My colleague and I spoke afterwards about meeting there once in a while to do some work.
The word is spreading.
