Any tips for portable tool storage?
I just started working in field engineering for lab equipment, and I'm
trying to pick out the most functional (and coolest) tools organization.
I know one guy with a big bike-bag full of smaller loose tool bags, and one
guy with a soft toolbox. I'm thinking I'd like a tool backpack, or possibly
some tool rolls.
My tool kit isn't going to need to be super extensive: a bunch of allen
wrenches and screw drivers, some pliers and snips, a little bottle of
machine oil and a brush, etc.. But I'd like to have some room to expand. It
would also be cool to have some modularity. Again, the tool set is basic
electronics servicing stuff.
What do you guys think? Again, I want something light and practical, but
I'm definitely considering cool-factor too.

Hi everyone,
you're getting this email either because you're on the sudoroom discuss email
list, or because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for
those who want to come hack on whatever in person, or through telepresence of
any means you can invoke.
Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that
EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING.
in the past few weeks, we've had about 4-10 people over the course of the
evening, not including remote participants who logged in through the
telescreen.
i haven't put it on the calendar but i'm planning to be there soon after 6pm
if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get
in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't
have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the
video chat at the beginning of this email!
We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it after 10PM anyway
because of diminishing returns :)

see you soon!

Rick aka 'Glass on Wheels' who originally installed the CCL/Sudo skylights
will be coming by Friday morning to assess leaks in these skylights.
The work will be limited to walking on the roof and visual inspection, so
there should be no disruption to CCL or Sudo's operations during this
task.
I will ask Rick to focus on assessing leaks that are coming through the
panes, as opposed to leaks sourced from the outer perimeter of the
skylights (which should have already been recently addressed by the roofer,
mike).
- It might be helpful to know the kind of paint CCL washed the outside of
the skylight windows with (some time ago), if someone recollects that..?
- It might be helpful for someone from CCL / Sudo to be on-hand to discuss
specific leak areas, in the event I don't remember them all.
Best,
David
In case anyone is interested, HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) conferences happen every two years in New York City. This year is: A New HOPE, 22-24-July. It's a really nice conference (but, I'm biased, since I'm one of the main organizers).
The first batch of tickets is on sale as of this afternoon:
https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-a-new-hope
This will be a really wonderful conference, full of diverse talks, workshops, art, music, food, and wonderful people.
You can get a free ticket if you submit a talk or workshop or panel that is accepted into the program. So, please submit a cool proposal! Submissions aren't very formal, and only take a few minutes.
https://www.hope.net/cfp.html
Cheers,
Mitch

Thoughts on SudoRoom lately -
- any way to link SudoRoom projects with the bike party? The sf bike party, San Jose bike party, critical mass and the east bay bike party?
Thinking on it through zines
- enjoyed hanging out and reading the Forrest mims books. Thinking of redrawing them for our own version in one sheeters!
- Rps collective reopened since I was last at SudoRoom. A collaboration would be nice with them and SudoRoom!!!
- since I was last at SudoRoom there’s a Bart extension to San Jose that hooks up directly to the san Jose flea market. San Jose is bikeable now!
Integrating nature
- since I was last at SudoRoom I got a lot more into surfing. Wondering how to link the beach and nature - there’s so much fun stuff about the Bay Area and nature and citizen science how yo bring it together ? I dislike hanging out sitting at desks more and more when I’m not working
Nice to be back!

Unfortunately we are in a pandemic, and rates are high right now, so don't
hesitate to sit this one out (especially if you've been exposed or feel sick)
but I am practicing starting up this email again anyway, and reminding people
about this ongoing weekly event.
That said, remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that
EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING.

I am on my way to mentor a fabulous talented sweet artist at 5 this evening with her peices and will receive anyone as they are with their lasering skills from 6pm till at least 10pm as needed by the community. A few other people might show up. Im flexible to mentor any project on plain thin 1/8 in birchwood, up to 1/4 in mdf, cardboard and sometimes 1/4 in plywood or 1/4 in acrylic(maybe thicker sometime but its too stinky!)
If you are new or recently back to lasering please do read the wall of text about the needs for care and safety and preparation and materials selection that I posted in volume 111 issue 17.
Feel free to join the view at https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles, <https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles> though it will be loud much of the time. I can evaluate a good time to give a quiet overall intro, possibly at 6pm or whenever people new to lasering show up. Feel feel free to alert us on turtles that you are at the front door or ring the bell or message one of us if you have out num already.
If you join the vid chat to get in the door we will see you in less than a minute and answer the door in one more.
About the fume extractor, we have a fan ventilation system, but someone was kind enough to widen the angle that it gets to the roof and now it seems almost 50% as stinky as before. We need help with an engineering problem of proper width and second fan specs. I thought I could get to NB to ask the geeks there but its no longer as easy to get to. David gave me a bunch of specs that yeah I cant remember. I am better at communicating these things, can someone with an engineering or physics background step in to help us?
