I can't reach the omni's door computer. A couple people swiped new
cards tonight but I can't approve them. If the computer is off, that
also means we lost their swipes and they have to try again :/

the door computer is working in the sense that people are using their cards to
get into the building and it's functioning properly. there's apparently no
ethernet path to it right now and we don't know why. Marc just went to check
on the ethernet cable to it.
apparently it was plugged in and working and the link lights were on on the
beaglebone black, but when he unplugged the ethernet and plugged it back in,
the lights went out and didn't come back on. So he power-cycled it and now it
works.
the beaglebone black has entered some other unpleasant states in the past, for
example i've found it several times simply powered off, even though it had 5V
supply to it. why did it turn itself off? who knows.
at some point we should add a function to the arduino (which is already there
to control the door latch and beeper) to power-cycle the beaglebone (or
whatever we replace it with) if it isn't doing what it should for whatever
reason.

New subject: [omni-sys] door computer down
That door cable situation should be run through conduit (and 'should'
because we shouldn't have an extension cord running to anything always-on,
esp in the main entrance hall, because fire code). Lotsa folks been using
that outlet area recently to charge their phones during the day, which I
suspect may be behind the door system downtimes.
But I'm not volunteering to bottomline that right now, cuz medialab and
kitchen need facilitator momentum. :/
Tempted to just call Mike (electrician we've contracted in the past), but I
just remembered I ran into Whitney the other week and he mentioned he may
have some availability.
Perhaps we can tack it onto the electrical permits we'll need to pull to
fix the circuit running to the cafe...
