I spent the afternoon getting the basics of node down .. I've reviewed it and even worked on it at work but I just sat down and reviewed everything using a treehouse video node js course that comes gratis with my sf public library membership It took a few hours in between errands. There were people there it was nice to talk and even music I used a spare cheap monitor to learn: wish I did that earlier ! We have dozens of monitors on the wall!! It's useful for learning with online video ! By studying the right way I got the basics down which saves time for later The exercise had me building a simple node website modifying js to find information about student status and building a template website system It's cool there are so many node people at Sudoroom . I'm normally a mobile Programmer on iOS so I don't usually touch website sfuff I forked q basic Virtual Dom Code branch from Substack to Learn more I'd like to use this info to build an open source web interface for my women who code project : it's a database of cool female film directors and films that pass the bechdel test Later id like to push out some open source web & mobile projects . It's easier than it used to be I try to combine art with code so i drew a cat in JavaScript forest Later I'll clean up this email and then make it into a personal and Sudoroom blog post Thanks Sudoroom !!

Occupy Mission Network Infrastructure

by Robb Anonymous

It appears to me as though the unspoken mission of the Omni collectives is to provide infrastructure for groups that share the Occupy mission. Perhaps the role of the Omni is not to be an umbrella organization that comprises the various collectives. Instead, maybe the Omni's role is and has always been to provide much needed infrastructure to local community activists groups. While considering this thought, I stumbled upon an article from Non-Profit Quarterly which describes the need for such organizations, to wit: http://nonprofitquarterly.org/2008/01/25/why-every-foundation-should-fund-i… Love & Solidarity, robb LulzLux let thar b Lulz (<|)><(|=====

Computers for the Public Setup+ ALERTS (DNS + Speed)

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hellos, *Good News!*We now have a total of 10 new data drops at the second floor where the computers for the public are. Four computers are already setup and ready to use. The other six are already active, so it is matter of bringing more computers to the table and set them up. The second one from the left was not booting up, and since I had a bootable USB with Debian 8 with me; well.. I installed Debian on it. User name: user Password: user Root's password: user -Feel free to modify that if one wish or if it required. I just wanted to have it running at least. I removed all the extra unnecessary and/or unsafe equipment that was there on that table. Excuse me that it was brought down to one of the tables at Sudo, but I was too exhausted that I just wanted to go home. *ALERTS:* DNS: At the time that I left the building, 5pm, there were some DNS issues. DNS was not resolving. Pinging Google's DNS IP 8.8.8.8 worked, but not when trying the domain name. The issue seemed intermittent. BANDWIDTH: Also, I ran a few speed tests and they area about 20Mbps / 1.5Mbps. Thanks Hassan, Sierk, and Francisco for your help during these three days of work.

The heavy breathing session at omni Sunday morning was in the New Yorker magazine

by Romy Ilano

I'm so proud of sophia ! So the cool heavy breathing event Sunday at the omni was featured in New Yorker magazine ! You all should come!! Facebook.com/heavyheavybreathing. Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: > From: Romy Ilano <romy.ilano(a)gmail.com> > Date: July 24, 2015 at 6:57:01 AM PDT > To: Romy Ilano <romy(a)snowyla.com> > Subject: Sweating to Sappho - The New Yorker > > > http://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/sweating-to-sappho > > Sweating to Sappho > > > The participants shook to a Nicki Minaj song, did push-ups against partners’ backs, and learned a dance routine that began with a wild-eyed reach. PHOTOGRAPH BY LISA RYBOVICH CRALLÉ > Chani Bockwinkel was wearing silver striped leggings with a pink, flowered silk muumuu because, as she said, “I feel as the instructor you’ve got to bring it.” The photographer and member of the feminist dancers’ collective SALTA read her favorite lines from Sappho, as translated by Anne Carson: > > For she who overcame everyone > in beauty (Helen) > left her fine husband > > behind and went sailing to Troy. > > “Helen’s not a passive trophy here,” Bockwinkel explained. “She has her own agency, her own desires. Sadly, that’s radical for this period of writing. So, yeah, the hope for this class today is how can we be Sapphic about it and feel our desires rather than just trying to achieve something externally?” She turned up the volume on a Dusty Springfield song. “So let’s embody that deep femme drive.” The bodies inside the Edoff Memorial Bandstand, on the shore of Oakland’s Lake Merritt, began to writhe. “Do you feel loose, heavy, buoyant?” The music changed. “We’re going to pick up the pulse here, step-touches!” > > The class, “Sappho and Sweat,” was the second offering from “Heavy Breathing,” which its co-founders describe as “a summer series of free critical theory seminars in the form of absurd, artist-led conceptual fitness experiences.” The idea came to Sophia Wang, a dancer who recently completed her Ph.D. in literature, last year. She and Lisa Rybovich Crallé, a multimedia artist, were collaborating on a sculptural installation when they took a long walk up a hill and discovered that discussing Aristotle’s conception of topos while huffing could be uniquely stimulating. > > “Of course, the body and the mind work together all the time, but it’s easy to forget the body when you’re in deep thought, or on your own,” said Wang during a class break. The Heavy Breathing kickoff, at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, in June, drew about four hundred people for a marathon of Laughter Yoga, Sonic Meditation, and a “Get Pumped Up for Nothing!” session with the gay-night-club performer-turned-multimedia-performance-artist Julz Hale Mary. One session in the series combined Emily Roysdon’s essay “Ecstatic Resistance” with—naturally—resistance training, and another one, scheduled for later this summer, will offer participants the chance to discuss global risk practices while trying out Reichian somatics inside a bouncy castle. > > Only a dozen people had come for “Sappho and Sweat”—the Pride Festival was in high gear across the Bay in San Francisco—but the attendees were indeed perspiring. “So who are the contemporary people that embody this femme goddess vibe?” Bockwinkel asked as she turned on a Eurythmics song. “We’ll do jumping jacks and call them out.” She blew her gym-teacher whistle. > > “Frida Kahlo!” someone shouted. > > “Beyoncé!” > > “Annie Lennox!” > > “Jane Fonda in ‘Barbarella’!” > > Then it was time to embody someone on the list. A young woman with blonde pageboy bangs, wearing a gold shirt the texture of popcorn, began to wriggle on the floor. “Call out someone we all can be!” Bockwinkel said. > > “Angela Davis!” The group strutted. > > “Now I’m going to pass out these excerpts of Sappho, and you’re going to read them to your partner, while squatting or lunging.” When that was over, everyone shook to a Nicki Minaj song, did push-ups against partners’ backs, and learned a dance routine that began with a wild-eyed reach that Bockwinkel said reminded her of a move the British art-pop star Kate Bush would do. “Kate Bush feels it in a way that looks very Grecian to me,” she said. > > There was a cooldown of improvised goddess poses. “This is a chance to play with archetypes. Which feel powerful to you, and which feel like flat boring clichés that you don’t want to participate in?” Everyone gathered in a circle. “So, I kinda would love to hear what came up for you,” Bockwinkel said. > > “When you move while listening to the poetry, you find the rhythm in your body, which is cool,” said Rachel Simkover, an Oakland resident. > > “That is cool!” Bockwinkel said. Then she made some points about how, rather than objectifying her lover with external descriptions, Sappho uses small, specific details that let the reader inhabit the female gaze. “She doesn’t describe the lover as, like, ‘my blonde, beautiful lover,’ ” Bockwinkel said. “Instead it’s ‘Your skirt makes me want to weep.’ ” > > As the class broke up, no one seemed ready to write a dissertation, but the informal reviews were good. “It’s cool to think of being in your body as a feminist act,” said Sara Linck, a North Oakland dancer, pasta salesperson, and tenants’ rights worker. > > Adrian Leong, an intern at the Buddhist Peace Fellowship in Berkeley, towelled off. “Embodied learning is new to me, but now it is something I very much want to explore,” he said, his cheeks flushing. As he and the other participants filed out of the bandstand, Bockwinkel stood with legs hip-width apart and chin lifted high, and offered them parting verse: > > I simply want to be dead. Weeping she left me > > with many tears and said this: > Oh how badly things have turned out for us. > Sappho, I swear, against my will I leave you. > > And I answered her: > Rejoice, go and > remember me.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Pallet Jack for the Omni?

by Ed Biow

I don't believe so, Robert. But you could leave it under a pallet that has a load of equipment that we want to be semi-mobile and it wouldn't take up much extra space.
