Lucky for me (and them) they survived the kennel and are sleeping happily in the basement right now.

Re: How to Know if That Code is Cut and Paste

Chris, there's nothing really special about the code other than the fact that it seems to have been written for a furniture website rather than the industry that my client is actually in - which has nothing to do with furniture.

Morgan, I think he just ate something that didn't agree with him. He's well taken care of in his cube.

The parking isn't great. On-street only, although some of the nearby on-street parking is not metered. Twice today (11:30 AM and 2:15 PM) I was able to park for free on the street within a block and a half of the space.

A friend of mine owns some parking spaces behind Barley's. I'm going to look into getting a couple of those for full-time members.

Possible down side is no conference rooms. But it is a very cool space.

Actually, this is the next door entrance. But imagine it says 2B on the door instead of 2A. They look the same otherwise.

Hey Chris - I use last.fm (http://www.last.fm/user/lan... which keeps track of what I play via iTunes or my iPhone. Each week, the top 5 artists that I've listened to show up here via magic. The only time it doesn't really work is when I'm listening to CDs in my car. Some weeks I've been driving a lot and listening to good driving music like R.E.M. all week, but Yo Yo Ma shows up as my number 1. :)

When I lived in NYC there was a period where I traveled to Boston regularly for work. I rode the Acela Express so much I got frequent rider upgrades to first class. Now that's the way to travel! Breakfast and newspaper served by a waitress at my own cafe table. So nice...

I love trains - even when not in first class. I was once on a 40 hour train ride from Budapest, Hungary to Athens, Greece without a seat. Aside from the misery it was awesome. But I was young then.

Re: Automate Your Screen Grabs

Erm, my friend Lance Wig seems to have a much more elegant solution posted here: http://lancewig.com/2008/08.... Mebbe scratch this post after all. No Automator required.

Here's my version:

#!/bin/bash
NOW=`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S`
mkdir -p /tmp/screenshots
/usr/sbin/screencapture -i /tmp/screenshots/$NOW.png
scp /tmp/screenshots/$NOW.png snaps:images

Don - the Wilson Alley space is 1400 square feet. http://asheville.craigslist...

The top level of the space is kitchenette, bathroom and maybe a lounge. The downstairs space where the desks would be is probably 1200 square feet. I went this morning with a tape measure to the Broadway space and it's got about 850 square feet of desk space and 650 square feet of kitchen and bath.

Update - the owner of Barley's is a friend and neighbor of mine. Barley's backs up to Wilson Alley. According to him, the city has been working on the leak problem for the last several weeks. Not encouraging.

Re: The Great White Way

Toby - it includes everything but kitchen, bathrooms and basement. Here are the *rough* measurements.

First floor
* Front room - 17.5' x 13'
* Back room - 9' x 13'

Second floor
* Front room - 14' x 13'
* Middle room - 10.5' x 14'
* Back (sun) room - 7.25' x 14'

I'm thinking upstairs are all desks. Full-timers go in the front room (4-5 people) and sun room (3 people). Part timers go in the middle room (4-5 people). Downstairs front is lounge with couch, a couple of chairs, etc. The back room is the conference room with a single long-ish table that can seat 5 or 6 people.

That's excellent news - thanks for the update. Oh, and FWIW, I've heard that the same developer is building a similar place right across the street.

I haven't signed a lease yet, but all signs point to "yes". Your greenthumb would be a godsend! That yard is in need of some lovin'.

Re: Membership Options - or What You Get

lanceball — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:42:32 -0000

Hi David

I'm still working out exactly what the pricing plans and membership options will be. We'll be membership-based, and month-to-month with no long-term commitment required. At least two levels of membership will be available, and we are considering a third. Details to follow within a week or so...

The doors will open in February, I hope! Early adopters between Feb and May get to be beta testers of the site and help us make it THE coolest place to work in town.

Harumph - that's odd. I'm using FF on a mac and don't see that. Thanks for the info though.

None have that I know of. But coworking as a business model is really new in any case.
