I started going a couple weeks back and it was so much better than I was expecting. Really cool environment, really cool space, and really cool people. Planning on heading in at least once next week as I just received a board with a bunch of burnt solder pads that I'm not sure how to fix and I'm sure someone there will be able to help me.
Anyone have any opinions about the space?

is that a naughty place ?

I live literally around the corner and haven't been in years. I was super excited about it, since having an awesome workspace available when I live in a 750sqft loft would be amazing. Trouble was that everything I ever wanted to use was broken, and everytime I went to try and get some help with a technical problem, there wasn't anyone with time or expertise to help me. But I got to spend a lot of time listening to random political rants and helping others with their questions. So in the end, if I needed to get something done, noisebridge wasn't the place for me to do it.
Granted, if I really wanted it to be something else, I could pay up, join the decision making groups, and help make it a better place. So the problem is mine as well. But I think a place run by, and with the ideals of, a bunch of crypto-anarchists will always funamentally be broken.
Feel free to PM me with when you're planning on going and if I'm free, I could me you there and bring my hot-air solder station that makes reworking a little easier.

Tp4 prefers Sandybridge...

That's unfortunate, maybe I just got lucky? I will say that most of the tools I see around these days are not broken :thumb:
I really appreciate the offer, I might take you up on that. I think I'm going to need to run 15 or so jumper wires on this board unfortunately so I could use any sort of help lol
