We could use temporary and easy solutions like extension cords that get unplugged after use. If someone could help us out professionally, it would be a good all around kind of thing. </div>
<div><br></div><div>In the meantime, I think it would be smart if we dealt with the following:</div><div><ol><li>Make-shift cables and stuff hanging around the space with exposed caps(Copper-oxide, dust, moisture and things like beading can cause a fault-arc on our , untreated, <u>wood floor</u> or other fuel).</li>
<li>Ground everything out. Not only will we get 'dirty' signal, without grounding we will have an increased risk of fire for a couple of reasons(i think arcing is #1).</li><li>Separate food, water, chemicals and other products from electronics.</li>
<li>Only use extension cords temporarily. </li><li>Read the ratings on our power-strips to see if they can handle the load we are using.</li><li>Avoid plugging high-drain devices into power-strips that don't meet the recommended load. </li>
</ol></div><div><div>Secondary considerations for changing our behavior include:</div>
<div><ol><li>Tripping over wires, which can hurt humans and gear</li><li>Potential for electrocution</li><li>Aesthetically unpleasing</li><li>Gets in the way of work</li></ol><div>I'm willing to donate $100 extra to the space for a proper power-conditioner, and to help ground things out, but these are the things I could think of that would imply liability on our part as a group.</div>
