Gloscat, Brunswick, computing department 4th floor, whenever you like
but warn me you're gonna turn up a day or so in advance, so I can be in.
Can't do Thursdays, Fridays are awkward, but Wednesday afternoons
2.00-8.30 and Monday evenings 4-8.30 are good. I have spare hours (been
working too hard) so I can play about.
