It Takes a Village to Design a Print Ad

We’re trying out placing a small print ad in the local Bookshelf paper. Yesterday I leaned pretty heavily on our friends on twitter to help design our ad. I’m sure it’s quite obvious that we’re not print, marketing, or advertising people. Thanks for everyone who chimed in to give us feedback. You can see the […]

Voip Services

We now offer voip services here at ThreeFortyNine Coworking. We’re still hammering out the specifics so don’t quote us on the details as they may change. What this means is our members who have dedicated desks can have a voip phone line at their desk. The cost will be about $30/month, all in. If you […]

We still have people emailing us to ask “could I come work there for the day?” or “do you have dedicated desks that people can rent?” Postering? Busking? We need […]

Help us Design Our Poster Campaign!

So some folks here @ThreeFortyNine have been madly working overtime designing a flyer for us. The intent being to spread the word about what we’re up to here, specifically letting the coffee shop crowd know about us. I thought I’d give you a sneak peek at the early designs to get your feedback??

Guelph Coffee and Code

A few months back I learned some sad news, local tech community guru Cory Fowler had taken his one man show to the big city. Cory started and ran the local peer to peer event Guelph Coffee and Code. His leaving meant the end of C&C events locally. Over the past few months, I’ve been […]

Pet Projects and Pints

Tonight’s a very cool night here @ThreeFortyNine and hopefully the start of something big. It’s our first members only event. Our members decided that working together all day is ok but it doesn’t quite leave enough time for the fun stuff, our pet projects. Some of our members decided to organize a weekly event where […]
