/tmp/lab How To

/tmp/lab is also a physical space in which we have to live and work together. Here are basic indications on the place.

Network

Network is accessible through Wireless lan "/tmp/lab" with a WPA key. Ask us for the key.

Don't hack from this network, that would cause the death of the lab and we don't want that.

Neighbours

• As located inside the 6Bis complex, we are part of an art-related community.
• People are friendly, be friendly to them.
• Watch out if some external people are sneaking in. How to recognize outside people? Easy: they know they're not from here so they look a bit shy and embarrassed to be here, just talk to them and ask them if they are part of 6Bis. If not, ask them politely why they're here, if you can help, and if they don't know what the heck they're doing here, ask them to leave. Karma helps: some nice people just show up, some others are just nuisance.

Health

Heating & Doors

This is not an automatic door!

Since we're in a industrial basement, we need to keep the temperature _inside_ the lab. That means that you need to close the door behind you.

Smoking

/tmp/lab is non smoking.

You can smoke in the entrance, just outside of /tmp/lab.

Rodents

• To avoid rodents (namely rats), all food has to be locked up in the drawer in the kitchen.
• Make sure you lock the doors of the drawer with the teaspoon we use to block the doors.
• Never leave a garbage bag inside the lab.
• Even if you don't have time when leaving, at least put the bag OUTSIDE the lab at the top of the stairs.
• There are collective trashes at the entrance of the 6Bis complex.

Cleaning

• Clean your own mess, and help by cleaning remaining mess that may be around. This goes for dishes, toilets, floor, work tables.
• Don't hesitate to ask for cleaning materials, we'll then help you clean whatever.
