We've been trying to move away from Godaddy for years. The problem is, we don't control the account. The person who initially registered it is no longer involved with sudoroom and is not answering emails. I have been sending him emails approximately every two months for the past year and a half, most of them along the lines of "hey can you please help us or let us know what you need? thanks!"

blog post: algorithm night - lattice graph with yasnac our robot arm!

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/yasnac-lattice-path-algorithm-night/ Yasnac Lattice Path Algorithm Night! [image: robot_arm]Robot starts at the top! Premise We were inspired by the *Algorithm Meetup* featured this week on Robot Paths <https://github.com/AlgorithmsMeetup/RobotPaths> in a Lattice Graph! Imagine an n by m grid with a robot in the upper left square. If the robot can only move right or down, how many different paths are there for the robot to get to the bottom right corner? [image: robot_arm2] <https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/robot_arm2.png>and then the robot needs to move to the bottom! Giant Whiteboard[image: IMG_3401.JPG] <https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_3401.jpg>we pulled out a massive whiteboard to end all massive whiteboards Sometimes these algorithms feel like real life. There are many ways to get to the same point, sometimes you have to steer past obstacles and time wasters. [image: IMG_3381.JPG] <https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_3381.jpg>tweaking variations of the algorithm [image: IMG_3374.JPG] <https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_3374.jpg> [image: IMG_3392.JPG] <https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_3392.jpg>Our robot looked over from the background…[image: IMG_3389.JPG] <https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_3389.jpg>Lots of people diagramming stuff. we need to put this on a github! Things we discussed: - Djikstra’s Algorithm <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra%27s_algorithm> - Algorithms used in Pathfinding <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathfinding#Algorithms_used_in_pathfinding> (including A* search algorithm <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm>) Learning The learning was very social and using an entire whiteboard was really fun. It was especially important to get people away from their computers, where hidden dangers like web surfing and social networks lurked. It was also a great way to get to know other people, and create and draw and visualize complex problems. Ending Poem We’d had the idea to end each session with a poem, which was more challenging than we thought. However, it is a little useful to write a short piece to assess what you’ve learned that night. *Start out by learning from examples,* *Build upon the basics and progress slowly, absorbing all,* *Surround yourself with smart people,* *Begin with simple recursion problems, * *Tweak the code,* *then dip your toes into the advanced theory like djikstra * *Get the hell away from a computer* *Learning is life!* ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Re: [sudo-discuss] Can someone please donate Cat6 Shielded cable?

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Shielded Cat6 has been ordered (thanks to Charley) and "theoretically" will be delivered to his place on Friday. Charley is bringing it to Sudoroom on Saturday. Nice!

Ideas for naming our Linux Friday night?

by Romy Ilano

Any ideas for giving our Linux Friday night a new name? - Linux for Einstein the dog that ran for mayor- it had so much integrity even Einstein installed Linux! (Photo of Einstein) - Linux for women and men and everything else - we depict Linux as being cross gender - Linux cheerleaders Right now no matter what nobody is coming to Linux fridays! Nobody is volunteering to lead this so it'd be good to see someone do it righteously Sent from my iPhone

Re: [sudo-discuss] ian moon banned

by Robb Anonymous

yar and i agreed to talk about eian moon tomorrow b4 the delegates meeting, however, all he did was annoy me by taking so long to leave after i asked him to. though i don't understand baps' seemingly ambiguous membership policy, i.e. once a member always a member? if you teach a class, are you a member? do members get keys to omni door? etc., it might be appropriate to loop them into the discussion since eian might be a member of baps. james moon was more or less being vouched for by matt stewart who has quite a bit of background info on eian & james moons' recent interactions...i spoke w/matt s. today about it. finally, i want to thank those members who have supported me during a difficult week around the omni in regards to building security matters. cheers ~r
