Do you like drilling big holes? Volunteer opportunity

by yar

We need 44 of them. Come help please. It's holes through 2-inch joists in the ballroom mezzanine floor, for routing romex. Took me 5 minutes of hard muscle work just to do one. Involves power tools, sawdust, noise, awkward standing positions, and fabulous fun.

Person with electric repair knowledge needed

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Location: Second floor computer area. Issue: HP Switch at the second floor turns off, often. Temporary Correction: Push the extension cable connector into the outlet (under the table) and it will turn back on. Situation: This regular issue can be annoying to the end user, due that computers will loose internet connection. Marc J. mentioned that perhaps power for the switch should come from the light fixture nearby, and remove the extension cord that is currently feeding the switch. Matt S. also had similar experience, he mentioned to me last week. Call: Can someone with electricity knowledge go there and check/fix the situation? Additional Note: I have not swap switches to make sure that is not the switch. I suggest that if the main switch in the server area is Cisco, so then to have same maker at the second floor. Just to have same routing protocols between the two. Also, I recall that several months ago I cleaned up the configuration of a couple of Cisco switches and they are stored in the two post switch rack in the server area. Feel free to take one of them, if needed. Many thanks in advance, and please reply to this list if you will/worked on this ticket. :) Daniel -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

monitors on the wall are underutilized / trying to write a blog post with instructions

by Romy Ilano

Hey now that we are preparing for cyberwizard, and there are people learning, I'd like to point out that the monitors long the wall are underutizlied. we have about 12-15 ... I'll write a blog post about this with instructions. It seems really common sense but isn't always. (unless someone else does!) a 2nd monitor is great for people who are learning to code, especially if they have an IDE open and are using videos. Guests and members visiting sudoroom should bring special outlets for their computers. I'm unsure what chrome or linux folks use - I have a mac so I have my own setup. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Greetings from the omni

by Romy Ilano

(see full image) https://www.facebook.com/events/1606507732938924/ We had another experimental session involving fitness and art at the omni upstairs from Sudoroom It went over my Head at some parts but there was a redefinition of fitness : fitness is not only about body fat but also mental health and the ability to survive and reproduce in rapidly changing environments We taped alternate eyes to our own and spent most of the session with eyes closed as we imagined alternate realities . Instead if an aerobics or spinning class we listened to a computer discussing the future and imagining sensations of augmented realities The future was discussed as we stretched and writhed and the need to find new realties and ways of being ! As you know the omni Collective is a unique place. Many events that occur here wouldn't happen anywhere else While I was doing fitness I ran into moms and dads preparing a benefit for Muhammad and emad at the solidarity Cafe. I think they're activists who got into trouble 😢 https://instagram.com/p/5nP0EUIUtj/ There are kids playing in the omni ballroom and people chatting in Spanish and folks of all religions doing bake sales to help these guys It's nice ! Thanks omni and Sudoroom. ! Oakland needs you We don't want Oakland to become what happened to the sf mission and Dolores park ❤️ Sent from my iPhone
