Following Fabbaloo

Our blog began in November 2007, and now has many readers, yourself included. But we'd like to point out there are several ways to read us:

• From the website via your favorite browser
• By feed subscription. Add this link to your favorite reader (ours happens to be Netvibes, after a slight diversion to Streamy - but most of our subscribers seem to use the very popular Google Reader)
• By email subscription. To subscribe, just enter your email address in the box on the right. We promise not to abuse your email address. Really
• By Twitter. We've recently began tweeting and our Twitter id is kinda obvious

While we have not announced our Twitter id officially until now, we've been discovered by many already. To be honest, a tame bot in the corner of the office dutifully tweets our posts daily, but if we're not busy we might give you a reply now and then. Keep in touch, eh?

Fabbaloo by Email!

We've deployed a new feature to help those who cannot use a newsreader to access Fabbaloo. If you roll your eyes to the right, you'll see a friendly "Subscribe Via Email" box, in which you may enter your email address. Once registered, you will automatically receive an email every day from Fabbaloo  containing that day's posts. This will help you keep in touch even though you might be able to receive email only. Enjoy!

Railway Fabbing

No, we don't mean that we are making *actual* railways on 3D printers! Instead we're talking about the miniature hobbyist kind of railway. Previously we reported on the beginnings of railway fabbing, but now it seems to be taking off.

A big hat tip towards Jeroen Vanderschaaf who pointed out "Fabbing", a relatively new blog devoted to the craft of 3D modeling and fabricating model railway items. It appears that the blog will be examining photographs of extinct train equipment, and attempting to reproduce them using 3D technology.
