Subject: major purge of machine tools, hand tools, necessary and unnecessary stuff - Saturday 10 to 4
I moved 60,000 pounds of equipment from Detroit several years ago and it’s finally time to get rid of some of it.
Everything is priced to move and some stuff is free. Saturday 10-4 at my studio: 4126 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way, Oakland.
Please pass this along to anyone who may be interested

Does someone at Noisebridge and/or Sudo Room want to be part of the National Week of Making?
If so, there's a link at the bottom of the email from the White House (copied below), but which I'll add here, too:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/nation-of-makers
I think it would be really cool to be "officially" involved. But there are two things that make me uncomfortable:
1) "STEM" is a term created by the US military -- it leaves out the very important "A", which many have added to make it more relevant, and moves things away from the military: STEAM
2) There is involvement from various government agencies, many of which are cool, but one of which is: Department of Homeland Security.
Best,
Mitch.

The White House Announces a Week of Making this June
12-18

Hi All,
I wanted to make sure that you saw the
following exciting news about the Week of Making and the
National Maker Faire!
Announcing a Week of Making
this June 12-18
By Tom Kalil and Stephanie
Santoso
Last year, on June 18,
President Obama hosted the first-ever
White House Maker Faire and issued a call to action
that “every company, every college, every community, every
citizen joins us as we lift up makers and builders and doers
across the country.” By democratizing the tools and skills
necessary to design and make just about anything,
Maker-related events and activities can inspire more people
to pursue careers in design, advanced manufacturing, and the
related fields of science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) and possibly take their creations to the
next level and become entrepreneurs.
Today, in preparation of the
one-year anniversary of last year’s Faire, we are excited to
announce that the White House will celebrate a “Week of
Making” this summer from June 12-18. The Week will coincide
with the National Maker Faire here in D.C., featuring makers
from across the country and will include participation by
federal agencies including: the Department of Education,
National Science Foundation, U.S. Agency for International
Development, U.S. Small Business Administration, Institute
of Museum and Library Services, National Institute of
Standards and Technology, NASA, Corporation for National and
Community Service, Department of Homeland Security and the
Smithsonian.
At last year’s Faire,
President Obama welcomed people of all ages who are
funneling their ingenuity into amazing projects, developing
creative solutions to important problems and bringing their
innovations to market. He met Lindsay Lawlor, who built a
17-foot, talking robotic giraffe named Russell, and he met
teenage sisters Camille and Genevieve Betty, whose motto is
“Who needs a paper route when you can start your own
robotics company?” He talked to entrepreneurs such as Marc
Roth, who was homeless in San Francisco before taking
classes in design and prototyping at a digital fabrication
studio and maker space. After only several months of
classes, Marc was able to open his own custom laser-cutting
business. As the President put it, “Today’s D.I.Y is
tomorrow’s Made in America.”

year’s White House Maker Faire. (Photo Credit: Pete

The President announced a
large number of
commitments made by the Federal
government, mayors, educational institutions, companies, and
non-profit organizations to expand opportunities for
engaging students STEM through making, supporting makers who
want to become entrepreneurs and make it easier for
individuals to learn 21st century design and
fabrication skills around the country. Twenty-one Federal
agencies committed a suite of services for people interested
in engineering and manufacturing, including expanded access
to start-up grants, making it easier for makers to
manufacture their products domestically, and business
mentoring and training. More than 150 colleges and
universities, over 125 libraries and more than 90 mayors
pledged to take steps to help advance making in the United
States.
To continue to expand upon
this effort, here are some ways that you or your
organization can help:
·
Individuals can volunteer to
mentor and share their skills by hosting workshops or
classes in areas of their community that have fewer
opportunities for designing, developing and prototyping
projects.
·
K-12 school districts can
create opportunities for
interactive, hands-on STEM
learning in and outside of the
classroom. Schools can also establish maker spaces to
empower students to design and build, and solve real-world
problems.
·
Colleges and universities can
establish
on-campus spaces that are accessible to
students, faculty and the broader local community to tinker,
design, build and invent. They can share best practices with
other educational institutions through
networks and communities of
practice.
·
Companies can encourage
making in their community through design and engineering and
help
designers, inventors and
other aspiring entrepreneurs create American jobs by
navigating the transition from prototyping to manufacturing.
·
Mayors can join the
Mayors Maker Challenge and encourage companies,
foundations, non-profits, schools, libraries and museums to
get involved with product development and manufacturing.
Local leaders can also back initiatives that make it easier
for entrepreneurs to manufacture their products locally.
And no matter who you are,
you can get involved by hosting an event, workshop or
activity during the Week of Making in your community or
submit your project for the National Maker Faire.
By working together, we can
provide every child and adult in America with the tools,
technologies and resources they need to be part of the
creative process and invent, create, and make a better,
stronger, and more innovative future.
If you or your organization
has plans to support students, inventors, designers,
builders and other makers in your community, let us know by
completing this
form. We look forward to
announcing progress on the President’s call to action during
the Week of Making. You may also contact us at maker(a)ostp.gov.

Technology and Innovation at the White House Office of

commune folks <3

I think our community is strong enough to handle this and ignore one
thread if they're not interested in it. I don't see the point in
people writing more emails about how someone else should write fewer
emails ... oops.
Here Is what Centi sent me about Pidgeon's Violation of the Non-engagement
agreement:
Pigeon and I completed a conflict mediation process at the Omni
facilitated by Jenny and Ryan. The outcome was a mutual non-engagement
agreement.
Pigeon has admitted to me, and others, to having sexually assaulted my
friend Charity in 2012 at a homeless shelter in Portland. The last time I
saw Charity was several months ago, she was pregnant and living on the
street in Eugene.
When I was taking a shit in the upstairs bathroom at the Omni, Pigeon
knocked on the door to check if someone is inside. I responded that I would
be out in a minute. Pigeon, then wrote a series of messages on tape that
included 'Knock thrice to banish entitlement demons', and posted them on
the bathroom door, directed at me.
Pigeon's former girlfriend Maria, disclosed that Pigeon made posts on
twitter such as "Everyone at that house should be stabbed and shot" which
included me, along with other violent suggestions
Pigeon took a picture of me on her phone, directly outside the Omni last
week, when I was walking inside the Omni
Recently, Pigeon has made hostile and provocative sound gestures when I
have walked past her in the Omni
When I was at the Omni the entire day doing research on the computer in the
Sudo Room, I walked outside to smoke a cigarette, and left my back pack.
Pigeon was sitting nearby the whole time I was there, and then filled the
bottom of my bag with rotten eggs and food waste, which stained my books
and personal items while I was outside and my bag was unattended. My bag
still smells.
Pigeon took pictures of me on her phone in the social services office.
Pigeon attempted to get Charlie fired from her job by contacting her
employer.
Pigeon has threatened and chased Dante with a hammer.
Pigeon has been exposed, within groups, for spreading lies and false rumors
about select people.
Including, false information that has placed individuals within dangerous,
high-risk, and unsafe positions.
Pigeon has recklessly and indiscriminately made claims against groups of
people including, transphobia and transbashing, despite contrary evidence.
Pigeons chronic behavior has damaged, neutralized, compromised, and
interfered with constructive work and a matrix of social relationships.

Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] Today 4/4/15: Pidgen and Daren have been temp
banned for safer spaces policy violations
To: Hol Gaskill <hol(a)gaskill.com>
Cc: Rachel Wolfsohn <rawjnana(a)gmail.com>, "mediation(a)omnicommons.org" <

"* If you don't believe people can change, you don't believe in RJ or
TJ, **and
I would LOVE to hear your alternative**to my eyes the only other options
are punishment or annihilation, like the state does,** if you're really
radical, you'll seek alternative forms of resolution** besides exile,
punishment and "training" people, *
*whenever possible. I do believe people can change but sometimes you need
to draw a line and make sure that the mediation process isn't being abused
by the perpetrator. Comparing my forms of dealing with accountability to
the State and it's prison/jail industrial complex is gravely offensive to
me. I have been to jail before for being homeless - ( 3 charges of
tresspassing) - stopping cops from beating people up or using a car to
crash into a crowd -( 2 charges obstructing a peace officer)- getting
crashed into by a cop - (assault on an officer- charges dropped) stopping
the earth from being destroyed and otherwise homeless peoples camps by
blockade ( 2 charges obstruction of a roadway) Every time was arrested I
endured beatings as well as mental and once extreme physical torture.
Comparing my process to such a brutal process as the state's is really
fucked up.*
NOT ONCE have I seen you actually pursue mediation. No one has asked me to
attend a meeting or anything but when ever people have wanted to talk to me
I have stopped what I was doing to talk about accountability issues. This
is pursuing mediation. I also took the ban proposals to the sudo meetings
and have an informal mediation with FNB Joe.
*IN FACT WildCAt is currently refusing to participate in more than one
mediation, **and while in some cases i actually agree with that other
person being banned, and see the issues clear** my problem wtih this is not
about that person being banned,** I often think WildCat is right,*
* but it's about THE PROCESS AND RESPECTING IT Not wanting to engage with
people I do not feel safe around is not failing to mediate. Like I have
said no one asked me to go to a follow up meeeting.*
*You Still Have To Go To Mediation **In Some Case In Your Life, Why would
i be talking on this list if i wasnt interested in mediation*
*If You Recognize The Process At All - * Rachel I followed process by
emailing y'all and I followed the steps of the Safer Spaces policy:
"These are some examples of unacceptable behavior. This list is by no means
exhaustive. Harassment includes but is not limited to:
- *Deliberate intimidation - Babs and I *
- *Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names - Calling
me a dude and man with aggressive and accentuaded tone implying it was
intentional misgendering*
- *Threats of violence - Telling me that we should walk a couple of
blocks to settle it like adults implying he wanted to fight.*
- *Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour in spaces where
they’re not appropriate - Telling me he liked phone sex the yelling at me
about how I needed to get off of my phone in sudo room. rather than asking
me calmly,*
4. Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior
Unacceptable behavior from anyone at the Omni, including
sponsors and those with decision-making authority, will not
be tolerated.
Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to
comply immediately. If someone engages in unacceptable
behavior,* anyone* at the Omni should feel empowered to take action to
address the situation (i.e., talk to the person involved, point out violent
or threatening behavior, *ask them to leave the space*, etc.). In cases
where someone's safety is at risk, a temporary ban may be put in place
until the Omni's conflict resolution process can be followed to resolution.
5. If You Witness or Are Subject to Unacceptable Behavior
This section needs to be fleshed out more - please see it as a draft in
progress.
- *Everyone should feel empowered to confront aggressive individuals,
but we recommend that you do not approach a potentially violent conflict
without another community member, preferably a core organizer, co-present.*
_______________________________
*If You're Willing To Work On It " - I am working my ass off on it.*
*BTW I talked to people who lived at Hellarity (susie and enola) whom
confirmed that Darin was asked to leave multiple times for sexually
innapripriate behaivor but keeped showing up. *
*Also he was banned from the G-spot Squat immediately after for sexually
grinding on/groping a person during a party which Susie Q and I were at.
(more that I have not talked to) *

I run Hardware Hacking Tuesdays every week at sudoroom. It's easy, most
people who show up have their own things to do, but i do bring stuff for
people who want to make something and don't know what (the synthesizers)
I think someone should step up and turn Thursdays into Software Hacking
Thursdays. It doesn't need to have any more structure than that, just a
member who is willing to show up regularly on thursday (or find a sub) and
welcome new people, and introduce people to each other who have similar
interests. Ideally the host can answer basic questions about getting
people started toward learning whatever they're interested in.
Already there is a Javascript Group that meets often at sudoroom on
thursdays, but they're not always there, and not everyone knows what
javascript is or wants to learn it.
I believe that simply by having a regular occurence of this type of event,
sudoroom will attract more people through weekly rhythm and we will grow
our community of excellent people. It is already happening on tuesdays.
Who is interested?
-jake
Has anyone seen CCL's label maker? It's been missing for a week or two now.
This is the second label maker I've bought that has gone missing. If you
see it, PLEASE bring it back to CCL - it is clearly labeled (duh)
Time to start putting locks on the door, and security cables on all
essential equipment? Sigh...
Patrik
This is very important to me, because I said I wouldn't keep including sudo
discuss, and now i'm going back on that
but WildCat does keep including sudo-discuss,
so I feel like I can't leave it at some long email to one side bias,
whether mine or not
so I'm responding to sudo discuss
to be heard by the group who is already hearing this
sigh, i'm sorry, but I'm upset now....
*People NEED to be given a chance to change. *
*Just because you knew someone for a long time and saw problematic behavior
before doesn't mean they can't come to a new place, *
*and a reformed community, *
*where they can try to learn and grow. *
*If people are not given a chance to grow what would you do with them?*
* If you don't believe people can change, you don't believe in RJ or TJ, *
*and I would LOVE to hear your alternative*
*to my eyes the only other options are punishment or annihilation, like the
state does,*
* if you're really radical, you'll seek alternative forms of resolution*
* besides exile, punishment and "training" people, *
*whenever possible. *
*NOT ONCE have I seen you actually pursue mediation. *
*IN FACT WildCAt is currently refusing to participate in more than one
mediation, *
*and while in some cases i actually agree with that other person being
banned, and see the issues clear*
* my problem wtih this is not about that person being banned,*
* I often think WildCat is right,*
* but it's about THE PROCESS AND RESPECTING IT*
*You Still Have To Go To Mediation *
*In Some Case In Your Life, *
*If You Recognize The Process At All*
*If You're Willing To Work On It, *
*The Refusal Of Mediation Is There To Keep People Safe*
* In Dire Circumstances *
*Not In Any Case You Want*
* And Every Case All The Time*
* Because You Feel Like It And It's Your Privilege*
*I don't feel like you're respecting that process....*
PERSONALLY I feel:
Exile is not a real option for the world. If someone is continuously exiled
and not educated and transforming, they will have no where else to go. This
is part of the world, you can't just close yourself off from it and ignore
people
*If you want it to get better, really get better, judging people and
pushing them out is not the way to actually help it*
*What would you do with them? *
*Put them all in one country? *
*Kind of like a concentration of them?*
* Like a camp? Kill them all off? **All bad ideas. *
*We need to help people grow, and *
*if you consider yourself an organizer *
*or a helper of the world*
* it IS your job to help people grow a*
*nd give people another chance, *
*provided they seek new conditions that will faciiltate growth*
*It has to come from them. Yes.*
*And it is coming from Darin, *
*however slowly he's learning*
Btw "WildCat" You are not yet a member of sudo yet.
And you're scaring people,
with all your bans in a row all of a sudden,
now that you think you have power
*i'm not quitting, but this email put me back over, i'm taking another
break.*

Subject: [omni-helpdesk] Equipment donations
To: info(a)omnicommons.org
I have a 13” sony broadcast monitor (CRT not flat screen) and 2 SATA hard
drives, LaCie brand 400G each, I am looking to give away. Everything is
well maintained and works.
Would you have any use for these items? If so I can bring them by.
Thanks,

Today Pidgen was asked to leave in violation of the safer spaces policy on
an admitted account of sexual assault in the past as well as recent
behaviors of harassment. Daren was asked to leave in violation of the safer
spaces policy by aggressive behavior (aggressive swearing, intentional
misgendering, inappropriate sexual comments (Told me in an aggressive way
that he liked phone sex, than began to yell at me.) He has had a history of
being banned from spaces for similar behaviors of sexual harassment and
inappropriate behavior.
I would like to begin a mediation process for Daren and I do not feel safe
with him being in the space during such process.
To my knowledge there is an ongoing mediation between Pidgen and Centi.
that Pidgen has allegedly violated due to harassing behavior. Pidgen has
been banned from several other radical spaces for entitlement problems -
theft - aggressive behaivor - accountability issues.
I do not feel safe in the presences of Pidgen and would call on the
community to permanently ban Pidgen.
Hi friends,
Hopefully some of you have received invoices for April rent and March
shared expenses at the Omni. You may have noticed that we've switched our
invoicing software over to Quickbooks. Their credit card processing fees
are much lower than Wave's (our previous software), so we're able to save
the Omni a little bit of $$. Yay!
If you haven't yet received your rent and shared expense invoices, check
your spam folders! I noticed that emails from Quickbooks get delivered to
the "promotions" tab on my gmail account.
You should still be able to pay your invoices with a credit card, but let
me know if you have any trouble. This is the first round of invoices we've
sent using Quickbooks so there may be a few glitches to work out.
Please pay your invoices as soon as you're able and let the finances
working group know if you will be late in paying them or if you have any
questions.
Thanks and <3,
SP + Finances WG
Thank you Joe for spearheading this important work! I'll be over in the
early afternoon to help and will try to convince a friend to join me :)

yesterday i brought a bunch of stuff donated to sudoroom, including a
really nice large workbench (blue, with a tool hanging rack, it only made
it to La Commune so hopefully people can get it to sudo somehow...)
there were three decent 64bit desktop computers, and also...
a dot-matrix printer!!! a Panasonic KX-P1180:
http://www.orgprint.com/imaged/O/OtODmJjWMS_9758_preview_465_240.jpg
it's made for tractor-feed paper. they were using it to make wire labels,
and i got some wire-label paper if we need that. But i think we should
use it to print out THE IRC CHANNEL... LIVE
or the TWITTER FEED... live. Since tractor-feed paper is a continuous
feed, we can just print it like a continuous scroll, and always have a
paper record.
i dunno, maybe it's a dumb idea. maybe we should just trash it.
does anyone have a box of tractor-feed paper?

I don't think I have the physical ability right now to facilitate the
event, but I'd really like to see it happen.
I'm adding in sudo discuss on this because there might be folks willing to
do it!
Sudoers! This hackathon needs someone to facilitate the weekend and it is a
paying gig with training provided. If we'd like to have Oakland be a part
of this global hackathon, we'll need to come up with someone to do so!

Hello all you lovely humans,
I hereby
- Resign as board 'president' of Omni Oakland Commons.
- Rescind entirely my various omni-related memberships to:
Bay Area Public School,
Sudo Room, and
Black Hole Collective Lab.
- Will unsubscribe from all omni-related mailing lists immediately
following this email -
I spent a substantial amount of of my life the last couple years working
on, and getting other folks to believe in, this project. But as all things
must end at some point, it is now time for me to bid thee all a fond
farewell.
I love you all, and give the greatest thanks imaginable to all the untold
hours, days and years of work put into making this dream real.
Nothing but love -
good night
David

Wow. THANK YOU SO MUCH for fixing this.
Hey all,
We had some issues getting Gratipay (our donation service provider at
https://gratipay.com/sudoroom) to work with their payment processing
Balanced Payments to make successful payouts (transactions) to our bank
account with IAFCU, the Internet Archive Federal Credit Union, aka the
Internet Credit Union.
Now, the issues should be resolved. I am waiting to see the credit appear
in our IAFCU account records, but I got confirmation that Gratipay
successfully transacted the payout today via Balanced Payments.
These were the primary issues, which took substantial digging to figure out:
1. There seem to be some federal regulations that required our credit
union to explicitly post payments to either our savings or our checking
account, without ambiguity. This is done by adding a suffix to our account
number for any given transaction, i.e. add "000" to correspond to our
savings account.
2. However, also, when this suffix is appended to our account number,
there must also be a matching value that corresponds to "savings" or
"checking" called a "TRANS code". Unfortunately, gratipay did not expose
this value option in their interface, despite it being supported by
Balanced Payments's API.
We should now have the correct suffix and the correct TRANS code that
matches to deposit gratipay payouts to our savings account at IAFCU.
Whew.

Anyone else notice that the NASDAQ Composite Index has about reached the nominal peak of the dotcom boom? It's not at the real value peak (i.e. adjusted for inflation), but still pretty peakish:
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=COMP&instty…
It seems to me that additional market forces caused by the likes of a crisis in student debt or perhaps a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, could hasten the inevitable burst. Otherwise we may be looking at just a few years before a substantial fall in the stock market, devaluation of over-inflated "tech" companies, subsided startup investment, decrease in technology field employment, or other similar things...
What might one do to prepare, as if not soon, at least inevitably there will be some stock market crash that will largely affect the wide bay area economy?

that's totally excellent. I have two of those but i haven't had a chance
to play with them yet.
perhaps there needs to be another hacknight at sudoroom, called software
hacking thursdays or something like that? since this would technically be
software since the hardware is already put together...
but who would host a Software Hacking Thursdays at sudoroom every week?
do you have one yet? what would you do with it?
i still haven't had a chance to play with openWRT and the zillions of
compatible routers i have piles of. They run on a wide range of voltage
(built-in buck converter) and they run linux, they have a TTL serial port
and a few GPIOs.. what can't you do with them?

Anyone interested in testifying at court about how IP addresses work? It's
for a good cause/you'll make a couple hundred bucks in the process. If so,
get in touch with Kate Raven <raven.kate(a)gmail.com>. She's a public

Null,
Thanks for your help. Basically, I need someone who code testify as an
"expert" in a probation violation hearing next tuesday. It should be an
interesting experience for whoever does it and I should be able to pay a
couple hundred bucks. Basically, the "expert" just needs to have some
credentials in computer stuff above that of a lay person (I need them to be
able to explain to the court what an IP address is, what an IP login is,
and some stuff around this.) If anyone is interested, I can explain more
but it is a really worthwhile case.

Can any one say if membership or access to SudoRoom comes with a donation to the campaign. And if so, what level of donation is required?
A friend asked me, "Will I get a membership to use their tool shop if I donate?”.
Thoughts? I don’t see why this couldn’t be incorporated somehow.

>From the Oakland Tribune this morning:
"
The Hacker, who can only remember their identify by a bracelet reading
"m3g4h347", descended from the old Sudo Room roof, to an empty common space
wondering were every was.
"I'd just gone upstairs for a nap before the next Bay Area public school
Latin Catechism, and the next thing I knew everybody was gone," said the
extremely sunburned interviewee. Popping open their ThinkPad, and seeing
their 3,689 unread emails on the sudo-discuss list, they realized something
was very, very wrong. "I saw a lot of mentions of 'the Omni', but I just
took that to be some sort of spiritual outgrowth of the Kopimists. You
know, like 'we've transcended', 'we're going to that great data-center in
the sky', 'we're going to the Omni'. I think I saw reference to 'the Omni'
in the 1995 classic Hackers, I'm pretty sure Angelina mentions it once in
there."
Speculating on what could have caused such a slumber, m3g4h347 seems to
think some science went awry. "Last thing I know I was cleaning some sort
of neon substance off the sudoshrooms, I did feel a bit lightheaded from
the spore intake, that's why I went to the roof in the first place." After
having tripped out a bit, the hacker was trapped in a dream/nightmare of
answering the intercom and dealing with the landlord, but eventually
reawoke almost a year later when they were hit with a bag of recycling that
was flung from the lower level.
M3g4h347 will rejoin next meeting on a fact finding mission to determine
just who exactly neglected their mycological duties for so long, and to
update openSSL on their server having only just now found out about
heartbleed. "How did you let things get so bad in my absence?"

I'm thinking maybe deposit equal amounts of this pile of trash (passive
aggressively dumped in from of a "No Trash Here Plz" sign!) in the middle
of each room of the building?
Seriously though - does anyone have any thoughts as to what to do about
this situation? I know I'm not the only person who has dealt with the trash
but seeing this only weeks after personally making a huge dump run puts me
right on the very border of freak out city.
I'm not making another dump run!!

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure who is hanging out this afternoon, but I've invited Ilias to
drop by Omni and meet some SudoRoom, CCL, and other commons members.
Ilias is a student in Greece, visiting California to check out various
maker and hacker spaces. He's hoping to create a space for fabrication and
education for people of all ages. He's visited a whole lot of other
spaces, including Noisebridge, Ace Monster Toys and even the LA Makerspace.
If someone is around to give him a tour, or explain what's going on, it
would be great.
Cheers,
Anca.

Hello all,
After many months, I found my long-lost shopvac the other day (large orange
tubby-looking 'Rigid' brand) - it seemed to have re-emerged with the sudo
cleanup.. very happy about that.
I put a new filter in and installed it back under the chop saw. Please all,
leave it there and do not remove it - it is set up this way to inhale the
dust from the saw so there is less mess and the air remains healthier. To
turn on the chopsaw, simply click on the power strip thats ziptied to the
side - this turns on the vacuum too. I ask that everyone leave this setup
as one unit. If you need to use the rip saw, simply lift the chopsaw stand
off and unplug it, then put it back on when you're done.
For normal shopvac'ing, the tall RED 'ShopVac'-brand shopvac (that I also
installed a new filter to) should be the one used for other jobs. Currently
I saw this one last, also in the secure storage room, but now that the
orange Rigid one is returned the red one should be put the red one back in
sudo room (as I believe it is sudo's anyhow - not sure why it is in the
secure storage room, but probably someone thought it was the best place for
it).
If you need to use the random orbital sander with a shopvac (makes the
sanding pads last much longer and produces far less dust too) -- in the
secure storage room, there is a large black flexible vacuum tube with a
sander exhaust attachment permanently taped onto it (with shiny metal
tape). Attach one end to the the sander, and the other end to one of the
other shopvac's (any one that is not not part of the chop/ripsaw stand
setup) and you're good to go for that stuff, too.
Hope this helps clarify stuffs.
Love,
David

Hi all,
Bio-Link Depot is currently holding a FREE Biosafety Cabinet for us, that
would be perfect to start up CCL's BSL-2 lab room. That means we'd be able
to work with human cell lines and samples, and to isolate microorganisms
with interesting properties (such as bioluminescent bacteria from squid
skin, or oil degrading bacteria from soil).
Catch is... we need to go get it! And soon, because there are other groups
interested as well. The Bio-Link Depot is just North of the SF airport,
only half an hour away if you can avoid traffic. We've been advised to pick
up during daylight, so as to avoid interactions with the security around
the airport.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP OUT, and when during daytime works for you.
The current plan is to rent a UHaul truck with a loading ramp, and winch it
up (the cabinet is on heavy casters). But if someone has a truck with a
lift gate, that would be even better. Marc - the truck we used last time,
was that Rikke's?
Thanks!
Patrik
Has anyone been blogging their projects at SudoRoom? I know Luis has been doing stuff.
I think it'd be nice to document my stuff more so folks know what's possible at SudoRoom
Sent from my iPhone
the other day i noticed a bunch of copper wires I had near the robot were
gone. I thought it was strange that they were all taken.
today Rob mentioned that someone has taken all the copper windings off of
his project. He also says that a week ago, his phone was stolen from
where it was with his shirt, and his shirt was found outside.
We all should have seen this coming but I really don't want this to keep
happening. I think we might need to start thinking about locks on the
sudoroom/CCL space, on all three doors connecting the room.
when members close down the space they will be able to lock the doors and
then we don't have to worry as much about people tearing apart our hard
work so they can cash in copper to get a few bucks...

Hi all,
I moved the microwave, toaster, and toaster oven out of CCL and back
upstairs. Keeping our lab clean enough to do real work is hard enough as it
is without having kitchen appliances all over the place. (Someone had also
moved the microwave into the wetlab part of CCL, which is most definitely
NOT ok.)
The major electrical problem that required these appliances to move out of
the kitchen area upstairs has been resolved weeks ago, so there's no reason
for them to stay down here. I have not yet plugged them in upstairs, but
they should obviously NOT be plugged into the same circuit...
Thanks!
Patrik
