so all the manuals i have for the robot are SCANS of some sort of papyrus,
upon which the instructions were once inscribed.
this means they are not searchable. It seems at first that they can be
searched, and copy and paste, but that is only the safety warning pages
inserted by the people who scanned the pages into the PDF. None of the
content is searchable!
if you know how to do OCR (optical character recognition) on a PDF and
make it so that one can still search the PDF without altering its readable
appearance, please do so to some of the manuals here:
http://spaz.org/~jake/robot
highest priority would be the programming manual:
http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/479950-3-Programming_manual_v4.pdf
and the robot arm manual:
http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/479951-4-K10S_manual.pdf
this would be an example of a PDF that has the scanned parts searchable:

Want to have our own networked radiation monitoring station? The Global
Radiation Monitoring Network is looking to add nodes to their network
<http://www.uradmonitor.com/join-the-network/>.
They only have two dozen or so nodes around the world so far, and none in
California. "In this early phase of the project, there is only a minimal,
non-profit cost, to cover the hardware components used and the shipping."
The nodes are weatherproofed, and only need 5V power and an ethernet cable.
Is this something that could potentially be piggy-backed on to the sudo
mesh nodes as well? One of their node models has a barometric pressure
sensor as well. Not sure to what extent this is an open source project, but
we could find out.
They were just featured as one of the semifinalists for the Hackaday prize
<http://hackaday.com/2014/09/11/global-radiation-monitoring-network-update/>,
so I expect they'll be getting an influx of new node requests...

Hi Sudo'ers
As many of you know I'm trying to help spread biohacking across CA, the US
and internationally (I've been pushing hacker spaces at XPRIZE too as a way
to democratize innovation) and we need your help!
I'm currently helping a group of LA biohackers (including Cory Tobin and
other LAB members) to try to raise money for a large non-profit community
biotech lab in LA through LA2050. We're close, as in really close, we're in
the number 2 spot and we were in the number 1 spot but just recently lost
the no 1 spot.The rest of the teams are arts collectives (which we also
love) but we're the only science and tech entry and we'd love to bring more
science down to LA.
If the voting is successful they'll be a lab down in LA that we can all
collaborate with and visit with, the team and I would REALLY appreciate the
votes. If you have time to vote, it's really quick and it would help us a
lot:
http://myla2050create.maker.good.is/projects/LALabLaunch
Hopefully within a few months we'll be able to have a new LA community
biohacker night and invite you all to attend!
All the best,
Ryan

Hello everyone!
We’re having a house show at Stanza/Hackistan (3276 Logan St) on Sunday. We have three bands lined up but will also have open mic time. If you have a creative hack project or musical act, come out and share it!
Looking forward to seeing what we’ll create.

I received a request to talk about hacktivism to UC Berkeley law students. I'm not really the best person for this. (They may have me there, anyway, to talk about TV-B-Gone.)
Would you like to talk about hacktivism? If so, please contact Eric, who's organizing the event:
debellis(a)berkeley.edu
Here's the email he sent me, with me info :
Dear Mr. Altman: Hello. My name is Eric DeBellis. I am a former Allen Hall
resident and current law student at the University of California, Berkeley.
As a co-leader for the National Lawyers Guild Berkeley Law Chapter, I am
wondering if you would be interested in visiting Berkeley Law to speak on
the topic of hacktivism. We are planning to host two speakers. One would be
a Berkeley Law professor who represents a more “establishment” perspective
on the issue, so we were thinking that reaching out to you as the second
speaker makes sense. I understand that political hacktivism is not your
focus, but you’re a part of the hacker community, and you’re approachable
and quite good at conveying your passions to unfamiliar audiences. We would
not be asking you to debate the professor. Rather, you’d explain hacking in
general, then how hacking has entered the political activism realm, then
the professor would talk about it in more legalese terms. After, we’d open
it up to questions/discussions from a group of students. As for the topic,
Anonymous’s involvement in protests in Jefferson, Missouri is a particular
area of interest for students, so we would like to use that as an
illustration, but only as a launchpad to discuss broader issues that
interest you and your counterpart. We do not have a date as of yet, but
funding likely would be available. At the very least, we would provide a
tasty lunch and a room of eager minds. If you’re interested, we would love
to host you for lunch. Please contact me with any questions. Sincerely,
Eric DeBellis
Best,
Mitch.

IYSSE, Tuesday, 5PM, Berkeley -- Iraq, Syria
This group offers an excellent worldview on current political dynamics within capitalism. I have attended lectures previously that have been engaging and relevant even though I had only read half the suggested material.
Contact me if you are interested in attending.

---IYSSE---
Workers, Students, and youth,
Last night, Barack Obama announced that the United States would be
escalating its military operation in not just Iraq and Syria, but
anywhere he perceived a threat to US interests in the Middle East.
You should come, Tuesday, 5pm, UC Berkeley, to the International Youth
and Student for Social Equality's first regular weekly meeting. ROOM #:
TBA on Monday
At this meeting you will learn everything there is to know about what is
going on in Syria and Iraq.
-CIA's several year arm smuggling campaign through the Jordanian border
into Syria
-US Military's awareness that the majority of these arms were fueling
Jihadist Militias, eventually falling into the hands of ISIS.
-The underlying political and economic reasons behind the current
escalation of militarism and war.
-Why war abroad is accompanied by attacks on workers and youth at home.
