			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Station C est maintenant en opération depuis près de 3 mois. Après beaucoup de discussions avec les visiteurs, membres et membres potentiels, nous avons décidé de changer le fonctionnement de nos plans Flex.</p>

	<p>À partir de maintenant, au lieu de fonctionner avec un nombre d&#8217;heures par semaine, les membres Flex font pouvoir acheter des banques de points, ces points seront echangés contre des heures d&#8217;accès aux tables de travail et à nos salles. Les points sont valides pour 6 mois.</p>

	<p>Avec ce nouveau format, une personne peut maintenant être ici pour 25 heures une semaine (selon disponibilité évidemment), 5 heures la semaine suivantes, en vacances pour 2 semaines ensuite, etc. En même temps, il est aussi possible d&#8217;acheter une banque et de l&#8217;utiliser uniquement pour louer la salle de conférence, sans utiliser les bureaux (ce que certaines petites boîtes font déjà mais en payant à l&#8217;heure), ou tout autre combinaison. Les points sont comme suit :</p>

	<p><h4 class="space">Multiples visites</h4><dl class="prix"><dt>50<span>Points Flex</span></dt><dd>160$</dd></dl><dl class="prix"><dt>100<span>Points Flex</span></dt><dd>310$<em>Économisez 10$</em></dd></dl><dl class="prix"><dt>200<span>Points Flex</span></dt><dd>600$<em>Économisez 40$</em></dd></dl><p class="note"><small>Plus frais annuels de 35$</small></p><h4 class="space">Visite d&#8217;une journée</h4><dl class="prix"><dt>8<span>Points Flex</span></dt><dd>28$</dd></dl><p class="note"><small>Plus frais annuels de 35$</small></p></p>

	<p>Ou 1 point = 1 heure de table de travail, 3 points = 1 heure pour la salle de meeting (4-5 places) et 7 points = 1 heure pour la salle de conférence (10-12 places).</p>

	<p>Nous avons aussi beaucoup de demande pour les plans résidents avec les bureaux réservés et l&#8217;accès 24h. Nous sommes déjà à 10 membres (alors que le plan initial était pour 8) et allons possiblement passer à 12. Nous sommes heureux de cette demande et contents d&#8217;avoir une belle gang de résidents mais chaque bureau réservé nous &#8220;coupe&#8221; aussi des opportunités côté Flex, pour compenser un peu nous avons donc augmenté légèrement le prix mensuel résident à 350 $. (les contrats existents sont évidemment respectés)</p>

	<p>L&#8217;espace est de plus en plus occupé, particulièrement en après-midi mais nous avons encore de la place, n&#8217;hésitez pas à nous <a href="/contact">contacter</a> pour venir faire un tour et devenir membre.</p>

		<p>You have to catch trends to raise your profile and develop yourself into something that works financially. Become an expert in a field. For instance, I have a colleague who works in financial aid and started a student loan podcast which is remarkably popular &#8211; he&#8217;s found a way to combine two areas and make himself the expert of that combination.&#8212;<a href="http://www.hour.ca/news/news.aspx?iIDArticle=14492">Navigating the web with Julien Smith</a></p>

	<blockquote>
		<p>The exciting advantage about wiki is working on projects that help increase the free knowledge available to everyone in the whole world. The wikis I&#8217;ve started now have tens of thousands of users, who are creating tens of thousands of times more information than I could possibly do on my own.&#8212;<a href="http://www.hour.ca/news/news.aspx?iIDArticle=14491">Navigating the web with wiki advocate Evan Prodromou</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>That&#8217;s right, after months of preparation and years (!!) of talking about it, Montréal&#8217;s first coworking space is open. I&#8217;m writing this from my desk at <a href="http://station-c.com/">Station C</a>, looking out to what I think is a beautifully prepared space with 16 workspaces (10 are ready, other 6 next weekend), a kitchen, a lounge and 2 meeting rooms. If you want to have a look in person, <a href="mailto:info@station-c.com">drop us a line</a>.</p>

	<p>Now that we&#8217;re launched I&#8217;ll hopefully find a bit more time to post about what we have planned and some of the details of the process of setting up the space but for the moment two quick &#8220;lessons&#8221;.</p>

	<p>Customer service sucks giant monkey balls. Holy hell are most people in box stores incompetent. I usually try to stay away from those places on principle but you pretty much have to go there for renos and electronics. Wow. Self service and self checkout would be more effective, even if I had to learn a new system for each place.</p>

	<p>Networks are awesome. When I was looking for a first summer job I hated the &#8220;I know him, he got me in&#8221; type phrases that kept popping up but man, when you&#8217;re older you do realize how valuable knowing people and using your network can be. From getting pointed to the right outlet store for appliances and furniture where you save over 50% to espresso machine to help with assembly to a lead on a <del>good</del> great woodworker (Denis Proulx, <a href="mailto:patrick@station-c.com">email me</a> for his contact info) to networking equipment to, of course, a super cool line up of members, networks are awesome.</p>
