Thank [Thor|Athena] that there's someone with some spirit on the list.
I always think I'm alone and that these hackers are more like a
constipated elves.  So I've stubbed a project on github called
"mayhem" under user "theProphet".  It's clear that few really know how
to make the hackerspace concept work and are as adventurous as a
granny after hip surgery.

Anyway, we can try hanging out there.
