Hey, I know a bunch of you folks are also musicians/music engineers - I've
been recording and playing music for a while but am finally foraying into
electronic music (which is weird for a musician/programmer, I know). Does
anyone know of a good gear forum? Trying to avoid posting on GearSlutz so
I don't have to look at the URL.
Ex: I'm trying to figure out if I've got a buggy Electribe, or if my
inability to deactivate the master effects bus is a user error.
Unless there are objections, Sam is going to pick up monitors for the
Challenger Learning Center at Chabot Space and Science Center. There are
approximately 12 small ones left, all VGA (I think). I think they'll be
able to utilize all of them. Questions? Concerns? Field trip to Chabot?

We have about $280 in income from the fridge since it began.
That's not a lot, but at least it's not loosing money.
How do people feel about having this income go to Omni for now?
When Omni is doing better financially we could consider changing it to a
sudo/ccl split.

captain_morgan & i are trying to make some kits to raise revenue for
sudoroom but the etching materials we have don't seem compatible on the
chemical side (maybe they're expired?).
we have boards but the photoresist isn't setting under the uv light so we
haven't gotten to the etching phase.
does anyone have any good photoresitive material we could use?
thx
does sudoroom have an isolation transformer? it's something that plugs
into a regular outlet and outputs the same voltage, but it's isolating.
we have a couple of universal AC converter boxes which provide 240VAC when
you plug them into 120VAC but they are "autotransformers" and they don't
isolate.
I want us to have an isolating transformer so that when people experiment
with AC-powered devices, they are much less likely to suffer a lethal
shock and die.
note: some voltage-regulator transformers are isolating, but since they
distort the waveform in order to achieve the voltage stabilizing, they are
not ideal for our purposes.
thank you,

we got a large box full of capacitors from hayward hackers. i found the box
they were in out in the entrance hall in a trash pile but the caps weren't

i saw Max B looking through the sudomesh gear and i told him that i thought
he had quit the sudomesh project & asked what he was doing. He told me to
"fuck off" and i asked him to leave for violating our safe space policy. He
walked back in the front door after i walked him out the side door & when
he saw me he claimed he wanted to grab a spool of ethernet cable. i told
him to contact sudomesh to get whatever materials he claims are his.
i noticed he took a pair of rj45 crimpers (blue handle) which he claimed
were his.

Hey Folks,
Seriously, we have over 100 AT6 punch down keystone jacks donated to
Sudoroom/SudoMesh.
Each one of them runs for $6.99 on Amazon.
If you would like to read the story about how this happened:
This AM Laura and I went down the street from Omni to drop off some
donations to de depot, and on our way back we saw a lady on her way to
donate some stuff too. But, when I read the label of one of the boxes that
read Panduit", my brain went in alert mode! :) So i asked her what was in
that box, she opened it for us and saw all those connectors! She asked me,
as you an artist? I said, not, but I know what these things are, and we can
use them! : ) She gave us the box. And that is how we got them. :)
Have a great weekend everyone!
Daniel

robb,
since we got the zero-crossing detection working, now it's a matter of
deciding how many lamps to control with a single arduino. I believe this
instructable shows software that doesn't rely on the chip's timer being
tied to the triac control pins, meaning that it could be used to control 8
or more triacs with a single plain arduino.

He showed up at the previous Wednesday meeting.
I'm blocking this person's membership. He kept talking to us like we were
total noobs in running a hackerspace and he was going to tell us all how to
fix everything (though not taking on any tasks himself other than his
organizational LARP game idea). He kept trying to tell us about how
noisebridge is run even after I told him that we're no strangers to
noisebridge.
After reading some of his tweets I decided I'm just going to tell him he's
not welcome at sudo if I see him again. Let me know if anyone feels like
that's the wrong thing to do:
https://twitter.com/Xer0Dynamite/status/760708825934602240https://twitter.com/Xer0Dynamite/status/760710581926170624https://twitter.com/Xer0Dynamite/status/760711635363299329https://twitter.com/Xer0Dynamite/status/760714063710150656https://twitter.com/Xer0Dynamite/status/760717666256621569https://twitter.com/Xer0Dynamite/status/761043131710091264https://twitter.com/Xer0Dynamite/status/761043565447225344
And his twitter blurb about himself:
"...He comes from the future. Fought alone. Abandoned by the world I loved.
Silver bullets from the uber-mind. Suicidal without some pussy."
Here are his answers to member questions:
Why do you want to be a member of sudo room?: The people here are good and
want the place to succeed. I can save a well-staffed ship if it's sinking
or make it better engineered if it is not.
If you know already, what are you excited to do at sudo room?: Start a game
that will self-organize the many conversations that happen here.
If you know already, what are you excited to share with the sudo room
community?: One and the same as above, as the project is a LARP (think
Dungeons and Dragons crossed with Treasure Hunt), encouraging everyone to
play.
Have you ever been banned from another hackerspace? If so, when and why?:
No.

I'm looking for a non-LCD color video screen, somewhere between 5" and 8"
diagonal size. I guess 7" would be perfect.
I want to use it as the "dashboard" for my electric motorcycle. It will
primarily show the view from a rear-facing videocamera, but i'm going to
use an arduino to overlay information like speed and battery state onto
the picture, videogame style. I look forward to enclosing the back of the
CRT in transparent polycarbonate so that the yoke and other features are
visible.
i might have to use an LCD until i find the right CRT, but i think a CRT
would be ideal for reasons of class and style. But it has to be color.
if you know of a color CRT monitor in this small size range that's
available (for free ideally) please let me know. I am expecting composite
signal, but VGA would probably work too if i modified my signal plan.
thank you,
-jake
P.S. if you're interested in an antique vacuum-tube television, make me an
offer:
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/atq/5739351649.html
> Consider yourself unwelcome in the sudo room space pending a formal ban.
Before you (Mark Juul, Morgan Allen, Lesley Bell) shoot yourself(ves)
in the foot, I implore you to listen with your reason, rather than
your reactivity. For example, there are no hackerspaces that are
really thriving, do you know that? Further, the level of analysis
needed to fix sudo-room's problems are not simple. I say this from
someone who's managed hundreds of thousands of dollars, can legally
call himself a Doctor, have the auspices of MIT, and has been watching
the movement from high above to ensure that it doesn't fail.
Sometimes trouble follows individuals not because they are guilty but
because they refuse to compromise in a system that DEMANDS it. (In
any event, you can sniff around further at
<linkedin.com/in/majanssen>.)
Hopefully, all of you took the time to read the important info in the
message (SUBJ: "Memberships") whereby I explained the complexity of
your explorations vis á vis the group known as Anonymous. Your
judgments are COMPLETELY inappropriate pending *actually* asking me
what my views are. Presumably, sudo-room doesn't require men to
desire male bodies EQUALLY to a woman's or to think that someone
DRESSING UP AS A GIRL has somehow magically acquired a uterus and all
the struggles that WOMEN have in this world. I mean really give me a
fucking break, because the word "inclusivity" can start to look
awfully like marshmallow fluff when you have a lock on your door.
(BTW, I will admit to having a preference on the M/F question). The
same issue is present with noisebridge -- they screen people who
silently match their political ethos/pathos. It's the kind deep and
dangerous delusion that Christians have when they believe they're
fighting for Jesus.
This isn't a criticism of them, for I understand the difficulty of
what I call REALITY (the street), but better to be trained and find
heuristics to TRANSFORM these experiences than become another
bourgeois hangout for (mostly) boys.
You don't look incompetent, you look inexperienced. I never thought
you were noobs, it's just that it would be very difficult to duplicate
the analysis that's been done to make hackerspaces self-sustaining.
It's akin to making a national _constitution_. You should consider
that before you go excluding potential members who have offered to
help.
And finally, consider the part of the profile in which you apparently
didn't have any problems or concerns: "suicidal". After the failure
of Occupy, many of us involved in trying to make a balanced world are
getting burned out. The pressures of living are high and the hopes
are not. Hackerspaces were supposed to act as refuge and sanctuary
for such fighters. But it is getting sidetracked by MEN who blow
their load in each other's mouths and WANT TAX BREAKS. You didn't get
it at all: I was called a fag in high school, so were my friends, who
were more punk than I was. I can make legitimate use of that word and
know far more about it than you who may just be looking to be
"politically correct". Perhaps your interest in humanity in a joke,
but it implies that there is at least one human who is on the brink of
ending his or her life.
If the aforementioned all jumped to on Juul's train of thought without
due consideration, then my analogy was more apt than I had planned:
you are like the rats congregating on that sinking ship.
