Sudoroom is a mess and one solution is more efficient use of vertical space in our closet. After some research I've concluded the ideal fit for Sudoroom's walk-in closet area are the 5-shelf 36x18x72 heavy duty units which are $67 at Home Depot. I believe these can be stacked (hacked) to turn, for example, three of them into two 36x18x108 towers. 36 inches is just the right width to reach from the wall to the edges of the doors. A hypothetical array of 8 towers would still leave a clear path to the radio room. I'm not saying we need that many (yet) but I'd like to try a few. This is a humble request for your cash. I will put $50 towards this, and Romy has pledged $50. If we can raise a matching $100, we can buy three of them! In fact, if we can raise it today, Romy's offered her car to get them today. Three units would be enough to A) significantly improve our storage/mess situation and B) test my stackability hypothesis. We'll be here all afternoon, accepting cash :)

Art Murmur did not clean up

by Yardena Cohen

I appear to be the first person at Sudoroom today. Here's some of what I've found: - Furniture in disarray - Door not locked all the way (deadbolt but the knob turns freely) - Dishes, food scraps & beer bottles everywhere - beer bottles stuffed in trash cans (landlord HATES this as he can get fined) - dishwasher full, but not clean (I loaded it mostly-full before I left last night) - Rice cooker left plugged in and on "warm" - rice inside burned - 3D printer left on, its computer also left on - A thousand paper cuts which can be summed up as "fucking put things away" I won't editorialize. I just want to document this, rather than clean in silence.

Relevant to our interests: Saturday, June 8th 10:00am-4:00pm EastSide Cultural Center 2277 International Blvd, Oakland In this day-long training we will learn about the racial and economic inequities built into the Bay Area's public transit system as well as current social justice campaigns working to reclaim public transit for our communities. We will also highlight the movement for building, fixing and riding bikes as one mode of transportation that can provide free, ecological and self-reliant transportation for many folks in our communities, both young and adult.

Sorry about the sudoroom.org downtime

by Yardena Cohen

We had the bad luck of setting up our server right before the host decides to move the entire datacenter across the street. So they shut us down for an hour. Sadly unavoidable, but over now. https://blog.linode.com/2013/05/17/fremont-upgrades/
