Practical Options for Deploying IT Equipment in Small Server Rooms & Branch Offices Source: APC by Schneider Electric<http://www.techrepublic.com/research-library/apc+by+schneider+electric> Small server rooms and branch offices are typically unorganized, unsecure, hot, unmonitored, and space constrained. These conditions can lead to system downtime or, at the very least, lead to “close calls” that get management’s attention. Practical experience with these problems reveals a short list of effective methods to improve the availability of IT operations within small server rooms and branch offices. This paper discusses making realistic improvements to power, cooling, racks, physical security, monitoring, and lighting. The focus of this paper is on small server rooms and branch offices with up to 10kW of IT load. I figure some good information can be found in this paper regarding server options. For those interested, have a read I'm sure it covers ground some people are familar with and some new approaches as well, Sincerely, Troy

Din din and not the din of wolves howling for their supper

by Ray Lai

Hello Sudoers, It's Wednes-daaaay nite! Which means meeting and dinner. I have no funds to buy anything. Any suggestions? Pot luck? Bring Your Own Comestibles? If someone has a desire or vision, I and anyone else who is cooking (Marina? Sarah? Ari?) can whip it up. Anthony and I had talked about buying a can of silkworms at Koreana, skewering them on bamboo skewers, lightly basting them in oil and roasting them with my butane torch. Next we would roll them in sugar and torch them again, thus creating a delicate brulee chrysalis. If there are enough interested we might buy 2 cans and u can roast your own. :) Unmentionably yours, Raymond Lai Ice Cream Man Atomic Ice Cream Facebook.com/MotoAtomico

FREE SECURE E.MAIL WITH STORAGE ???

by Troy Massey

I figured I would ask the list what they have found to be good e.mail services without ads and usability popups from a giant mega corporation that tracks your e.mails and doesn't work with e.mail clients like thunderbird, and offers horrible "help" and has contacted e back only 2 times after the 20+ plus times I have sent e.mails to them. I'm basically done with Goggle.com for e.mail ( yes that is a correct spelling and how I will refer to them from now on as that is exactly what Goggle has done to the internet culture by repackaging and commercializing the internet into a comercially driven serach engine, it has made us myopic quick fix searchers.) Besides this is NOT what the internet was intended to become. Does anyone know of any good secure e.mail sevices online with decent storage that is free? Frustratedly yours, Troy

Drawing Dynamic Visualizations - A revolution in programming and math

by Tom Fitzpatrick

Bret Victor, an Oakland resident, keeps blowing my mind. His latest video is about programming by drawing geometries. Most Mathematicians work in pictures or with their kinesthetic sense, however, programming is algebriac in nature - it is blind symbol manipulation. He argues we have thus far merely emulated old drawing mediums with computer's without utilizing their potential for simulation. http://worrydream.com/#!/DrawingDynamicVisualizationsTalk The site is loaded with gems. Inventing on principle changed my life. His reading list is the finest I've seen. I've read to varying levels of completion about 20 so far and haven't been disappointed yet. It comprises a complete curriculum in winning. http://worrydream.com/#!/Links

I've since merged them and synced their names, so now the canonical repo that I hope everyone will continue using is in these two places: https://gitorious.org/sudoor/sudoor https://github.com/yardenac/sudoor I'm not sure where sudoor-addcode lives, but I'd like to merge that in as well. Just to avoid confusion, other places I'm aware of are: https://gitorious.org/doorman/doorman <--- No longer exists; renamed to sudoor https://github.com/jaekwon/sudoroom_doorman <--- distant ancestor of current code Is anybody aware of any other places where code is hiding?

Putting "SudoRoom opening hours status" on the front page

by Romy Ilano

Hi alls I made a wordpress page SudoRoom Status https://sudoroom.org/sudoroom-status/ I'd like for this eventually to be on the front sudoroom page It is not currently on the front page. we could have a web app with a big green light that shows that the space is open on a particular day it is often confusing for visitors sometimes non members want to stop by and hang out, bringing wood equipment etc. and they are not sure if it will be open or not what do you think?
