Umeå Hackerspace is closed.
Normal opening hours are:
The above opening hours are aspirational! Check the open status indicator here on the website before dropping by, since it's not guaranteed that anyone has arrived yet. Or just ask on IRC/XMPP.
There is a semi-frequently updated schedule with planned activities here: öppetschema.
We are also listed on spaceapi, which has phone apps available. Just search for "spaceapi" wherever you get your apps, install any one you like, then search for "Umeå Hackerspace".
As some of you may know, uhck has had an opensign for quite some time that has a simple API and reports the current status on IRC. Additionally I've been considering extending the API and have been toying with a simple Android app.

Sunday roundup on a Monday, breaking my posting-on-the-proper-day streak (noo!)
First up recluster: lectus soldered a copper manifold for distributing water for cooling. The water cooling is important because server fans make too much noise for the cluster rack to be able to sit in a place where people actually …
It is now possible to see whether the space is open based on the banner image on top of the site. Green LEDs = open!
The image is changed whenever the switch connected to the open sign is flipped, which may not be immediately obvious. We hope to make this more …
För några veckor sedan blev den åh-så-välkända och synliga öppetskylten för Umeå Hackerspace klar, med andra ord är det hög tid för en bloggpost om den. Skylten visar för folk utanför om någon är inne, och styrs från en liten manöverlåda inomhus. Lite bilder:
