Day 6 started pretty late. At 10 o clock we had a mini maker­bot work­shop to replace a bro­ken extruder piece, but most folks were still asleep from stay­ing up till late work­ing on the Piano Cock­tail, so only Cata­rina and Guil­herme man­aged to attend and fix the bro­ken piece.

Late arrivers João, Vitor and Mécia arrived shortly after while i tried to fin­ish up some work on the haiku gen­er­a­tor and Mauri­cio was work­ing on the key­board mis­chiefs with Cata­rina. Guil­herme was already gone, he had to pre­pare his work for the Talk Show piece down­town. A lit­tle while later Mónica and Francesco decided to join us in dis­cov­er­ing where Black­box was actu­ally, we got abit lost but man­aged to all arrive on time.

The piece was pretty great! Well pro­duced and per­formed! So props to the ones involved was in order and back we went to our res­i­dency for some food and project push­ing. Guil­herme and Cata­rina still mess­ing with the Maker­bot; Mónica blow­ing plants; Fil­ipe, Ricardo and Mauri­cio fin­ish­ing up the Piano Cock­tail; Luis and João work­ing on the meal track­ing bal­let sys­tem; Pedro help­ing out Jorge with his Arduino issues; and me try­ing out a cou­ple new remixes of the remix.

Before din­ner we also had a short visit from a few per­for­mance related folks, seem­ingly guests from our host and friend here at Espaço do Tempo, Rui Horta. They seemed pretty inter­ested in our adven­tures with the new tech­nolo­gies, espe­cially in terms of net­work­ing and open source mentality.

There was no cater­ing on Sat­ur­day aparently, so things were abit more erratic but it all worked out in the end. We man­aged to orga­nize a nice din­ner event with nearly every­one present, and pro­ceeded directly to judg­ing the world famous Vitor Espad­inha “Recor­dar é Viver” remix compo, par­tic­i­pat­ing was me, Sér­gio and the pro­claimed win­ner mis­ter Pedro Ângelo.

90’s elec­tro night pro­ceeds as i type, every­one seems to be hap­pily work­ing on their projects and/or enjoy­ing their refresh­ments. It sucks hard that tomor­row is the last day already. As a curios­ity note, it seems 95% of the folks here at the res­i­dency use Mac’s, even if one of them does have Linux installed.
