Carrboro Creative Coworking

September 30, 2011, will be Carrboro Creative Coworking’s last official day of operation. At this time I have no plans to continue operations with CCC, although I believe in coworking as strongly as ever, and I'm pursuing options that would continue my involvement in the coworking movement. I’m writing this post to explain how the business got to this point and why change is necessary.

When: July 9, 2011, Saturday, 8am - 2pm
Where: Carrboro Creative Coworking,

Find cool used electronics of all kinds. Such as audio recording equipment, interesting old computers, peripherals, LCD monitor, and much more. Sale will be held inside rain or shine. Images of items forthcoming. (Note: Luchadores may or may not be present.)

PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS

Thank you!

On Saturday, January 22 from 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM join us at CCC to learn about Restkit. For $100 receive a hands on training about developing iOS applications with RESTful web services. All proceeds of this event goes to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The training is presented by Blake Watters, CTO of Two Toasters & Lead Developer of RestKit. REGISTER HERE

Learn how to rapidly integrate your iOS applications with RESTful web services in this hands-on training workshop. You'll be introduced to RestKit, a high performance, production quality Open Source solution for modeling and accessing RESTful web services in iOS applications.

RestKit presents a simple, yet very powerful API that allows the developer to integrate with backend web applications in the cloud without worrying about the complexities of HTTP, threading, data parsing/processing, and handling data persistence. You will come away from this workshop ready to build professional quality apps that seamlessly integrate with new or existing web services.

This year CCC will be closed from Thursday December 23 - Friday December 31. If you have a electronic key, Office and Super Coworkers, you can still get in. If you have any questions please contact me. Have a very happy and safe holiday!

Update: May 1, 2011 - Carrboro Coworking no longer offers this service. Please contact us if you have any questions. Thanks.

I think fall has finally arrived. Famous last words, right? But it’s been a good summer around the Coworking office, with lots of new coworkers signing up (and lots of cupcakes being eaten).

I wanted to let you know that I’m offering a new service through Carrboro Creative Coworking: virtual phone service. This is the phone system I already use at CCC, and I think it’s great, so now I’m offering it to you.

This flexible, affordable system is available in three levels: Basic, Advanced, and Complete. All levels give you:

• a VoIP phone number with voice mail;
• a virtual receptionist;
• Find Me call forwarding;
• and conference calls.

The Advanced level adds interactive voice-response menus, incoming call-tracking functionality, and automated outgoing calls. Complete service adds a nationwide toll-free number, virtual call center capability, and a developer API toolkit that allows you to integrate the service with your existing software.

Fees start at $49.95 per month. You pay as you go, and there are no long-term contracts. I’m making this service available to everyone; you don’t have to work here at CCC to use it. Plus, I’m your friendly neighborhood tech support! Once you sign up, I’ve got your back.
