/tmp/lab How To
From Tmplab
/tmp/lab is also a physical space in which we have to live and work together. Here are basic indications on the place.
Contents
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
Outside /tmp/lab
- 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.
Inside /tmp/lab
- Some people actually live at the lab and share the space with the guests.
- Guests are not supposed to touch or borrow private things before asking,
- Especially, guests are not supposed to enter private room without asking, even if the day before they _did_ stay in that room.
- Guests can come with their friends, and usually it's okay to stay over and sleep here, but ask the /tmp/lab people when you want to go to bed so that we can setup your bed somewhere where it won't bother anyone.
- These little notes can be expected to be part of guests behaviour, for some people it's not so obvious.
- So we have to write them down.
Health
Heating & Doors
- All doors: This is not an automatic door! Please close doors behind you. Thank you.
- 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.
- Do not leave your cigarette butt outside: put it in the trash!
- Make sure to close the plastic sheet and close the door
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.
