Have you ever thought about being able to print objects as you would documents? So did we. 3D Printers seem to be taking the Maker world by storm, and we have some with us.
So, come and see some 3D printers in action. We'll have a group of RepRaps printing whistles that you can take away all day. Get there in the morning, and you can have your initials printed on one for free!

| Assemble a CSV file from the Hourly Observation Service from the Met Office | |
| DataPoint API. | |
| This is a bit of a mess – it was hacked together quickly to give an example of how | |
| you could go about having a CSV file of observation data. It does an API request, | |
| parses the data as JSON, then turns that into a set of data model objects, those | |
| are them flattened and written down as a CSV file. |

So, I've been assembling a set of scripts to build Vagrant boxes. The intial idea was to build updated, reasonably well documented versions of the ones which already exist, from which I can then reuse to build more complex boxes.
Eventually, this will be a project called [boxes][]. But for now, here are some of the outputs from what I've been working on. I'm working on adding Debian (stable, unstable) and the current and LTS version of Ubuntu. It's just the current Ubuntu LTS right now.
The eventual idea is to have the box building scripts run through some sort of CI server so that it's automatically rebuilt and tested. I haven't got here yet, but that's why the boxes have no timestamps — the links should work forever.
