Damn looks like fun/handy place to be if you need access to some more advanced machinery to get those rare oneoff parts done...
i believe theres couple hackerspaces in my country as well...
Bunch of guys making stuff that later make more stuff. How do they find each other? Who pays for all these gadgets?
Dave visits the Connected Community Hacker Space (CCHS) in Melbourne on Feb 5th 2013
Check out the Cray Supercomputer, automated RFID door access system, 3D printers, various robots, and a chat with the head software developer for the Raspberry Pi.

Dave ,
I Really enjoyed this .I am also interested in having a hackerspace in chandigarh my hometown .i would be starting a new thread asking about help and ideas before i dive into it .This was a very very memorable video that would be close to my hart foreever
I need to rewatch the video, but which cray model was that one exactly? I think he said it was a Y-MP.
Does an iPad really have more compute horsepower than that thing?
According to wikipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray_Y-MP ):
The Y-MP could be equipped with two, four or eight vector processors, with two functional units each and a clock cycle time of 6 ns (167 MHz). Peak performance was thus 333 megaflops per processor.
The best benchmark I can find of the iPad (
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5688/apple-ipad-2012-review/11 ) has numbers going up to 557.0 MFLOPS for the 3rd gen iPad. Which puts it in the ballpark (or at least the neighborhood) of a 2 processor Y-MP.
where is the hacker space located?
Near glenferrie station/Swinburne hackmelbourne.org
