Please join us this Saturday June 1st at 2pm for the FREE workshop “*Today
I Learned: The Simple Computer*.” Perhaps you’ve heard of the 0′s and the
1′s. Perhaps you’ve heard of bits and bytes. But how do the 0′s and 1′s
tell your computer to do things? How do we go from 0′s and 1′s to lolcats
and code? How does the little box of plastic and circuits do anything at
all?
Want to have the most basic introduction to what a computer is and how it
works? We will break a computer down to its most basic concept and answer
any and all questions you will have (dumb questions, smart questions,
normal questions – all questions are welcome!).
Finally, we will take what we’ve learned and build a very simple computer!
If we have enough folks come, we will BUILD A COMPUTER OUT OF HUMANS
(WHAT?!)(YES.).
Specifically, during this “Today I Learned” workshop we will:
- Go on a quest to make computers *as simple as possible*. Intro to
computer science. Understand how computers work!
- Cover binary math and boolean logic
- Make half & full adders made of water, marbles, rocks, dominos, people…
- Build a very simple computer with 64 bytes of memory and 4 instructions
*This workshop is part of the series “Today I Learned,” a series of free
workshops that take place every Saturday at 2PM at Sudo Room, a creative
community and hackerspace in downtown Oakland. Check out the full schedule
at http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned and please forward widely.*
YOs-
Wondering if it would be worthwhile to systematically troubleshoot the
problem we're all having trying to access the video.
MacOSX 10.6.8, using Firefox 20.0 and Safari 5.1.8.
Enter the destination given directly by George the landlord:
http://50.1.57.132:81
Shows a screen in light blue with the message "please click icon to load
and install WebkitPlugin:" and "please restart browser to ensure
WebkitPlugin can take effect after install!", and a dark blue arrow
pointing downward as the clickable icon.
Clicking the download button produces a typical sequence of events that
go with downloading something.
Restarting browser, with all privacy settings turned off, produces the
same result.
George the landlord was able to view the video on a desktop machine
running WinXP, probably viewing it in MSIE. I'm going to guess that
accessing the video requires WinXP w/ MSIE.
I've got an XP machine with IE on it, but setting it up is going to be a
pain (hint: first I'll need a desk-dozer;-)
I'm not going to try on my Win7 machine which is exclusively for PBX/VM
programming on my clients' systems.
Any assistance in getting that video downloaded to a cross-platform
format, would be much appreciated.
This 21st Century Tower-of-Babel effect is beyond maddening.

I'd print some myself but I don't know how to switch the filament (since it
obviously must be printed in red)
Maybe we'll have hundreds of these things infesting the room soon, like in
that movie or tv show about the things that reproduced too much. You know,
that one.
am fwding on behalf of those who suffered enough.
hopefully my meddling this morning will do some good, hasten things along.

Subject: [sudo-discuss] Robbed at gunpoint.
To: sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org>
YOs-
James and I got robbed at gunpoint, right outside the side entrance, at
about 2:45AM on Saturday 01 June. Nothing like thinking that you & a
friend are about to die, to screw up an otherwise great night.
No injuries, just terror. The guy wanted our cellphones. Lucky us, I
don't have one and James had left his upstairs. He got our wallets. It
could have been worse, he could have killed both of us.
OK, time for the kick-myself-in-the-arse maneuver, for not having gone
inside the moment we saw an unknown guy walking down the street toward us
late at night. I should know better, hell I _do_ know better, but my
safety-sense was down just long enough for the robber to get close enough
to pull the gun, and the rest as they say, isn't history, just another
statistic that got personal.
QUESTION: HOW DO WE GET THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS FROM OUR BUILDING AND THE
ONE NEXTDOOR?
Peace, love, and safety y'all-
-G.
