A while back I had a discussion with Matt Senate about the declining number
of Sudoroom members. His comment was that the single biggest factor in his
view was the lack of affordable housing which he referred to as the "horror
of housing".
This week in Marin county a homeless encampment near me in San Rafael was
razed to the ground by a gasoline-can wielding arsonist. The police posted
a "campsite warning notice" 3 days prior to the attack, then went on to say
that there is nothing they could do about it because a of a recent federal
ruling. This situation caused a near uproar among Marin county residents on
sites such as Nextdoor.
The victim of the arson attack Damain stated that he was sieeping inside a
structure with his girlfriend when he heard a thump on the roof and a
whoosh of the structure erupting in flames. He was barely able to escape
and pull his girlfriend from the fire. When the fire department arrived
they took no action to put out the fire. The police were laughing at
Damian's girlfriend who was wearing nothing but her underwear and was
wrapped in a blanket. The emergency responders did not check the victims to
see if they were suffering from burns or smoke inhalation. Afterwards the
police said that fires start at homeless campsites all the time and that
Damian should consider moving on.
Since the camp is nearby our sanctuary in Marin I saw the site before and
after the attack and took a video of one of the victims: Solution to
homelessness in Marin County - arson and attempted murder?

Here is a link to an article that came out today in the MarinIJ:
https://www.marinij.com/2019/06/24/san-rafael-police-investigate-encampment…
I am currently working with an ee engineer in the area to deploy sensors on
the site and have delivered supplies and clothing to the victims.
Here's some images of the Seiko SMI 3200 Scanning Electron Microscope that
is in need of a new home:

Note that this is NOT a small system! It's not huge as SEM's go, but
definitely not desktop - more like "small room sized". And it would
obviously need some dedicated person to keep it in good running condition.
It is however almost brand new, and currently *running*, at <5nm resolution!
Beam Services Inc is down in Pleasanton, so I guess interested parties
could potentially go and have a look at the system. This kind of equipment
would be a significant commitment and investment in time and effort on our
part, so let's coordinate on this shall we?

Hey fiends, I needed to take a bath anyway, so I overcame my revulsion
and upgraded the iMac from 4GB to 12 GB of memory. as you can see from
the attached screenshot. I also connected the big monitor to the right,
I don't know if it was disconnected for a specific reason.
It looks like the ethernet cable is disconnected, so the iMuck was using
wifi. Anka came in and informed me that the ethernet is not working for
the Hackintush, either, and has been down for a week or so. I screwed
around with the DHCP settings in OSX, but no luck. So I rebooted to
Linux on the Hackentosh and confirmed that the ethernet is not working
there, either. Someone added a PCI-E network adapter to the Hack, so I
tried jacking into the onboard ethernet, no joy. And I found a piece of
ethernet cable lying on the ground, so I used to to directly jack in to
each of the 2 ethernet ports that come in from the hall directly,
squatissimo. So I connected the random bit of ethernet to the iMac and
each of the ethernet jacks coming into the office, but as soon as I
turned off the wifi I lost connectivity.
So it appears that LL1 & LL2 ethernet jacks are no long connected to the
server above the sudoroom. The ethernet was working in the LL orifice a
couple of weeks ago when I hooked up the new monitor to the Hackentosh
and replaced funky M.2 SSD with a new Linux SSD. Possibly something
didn't get hooked up after the Omni router died from from heat stroke &
got replaced on or about June 9th. I traced the white LL1 & LL2 cables
back up to the sudoroom server farm, but then got lost in the hell-broth
of cables, and my "brain" exploded, so fixing this issue is above my
pay-grade.
So, I scavenged a USB wifi dongle off of one of the GCEA boxes in the
hall (that didn't have a mouse, anyway), so the Linux and Windows 10
sides of the Hackentosh now have internet, but with O$X with its
wonderful tradition of "Think Different" refuses to recognize the cheesy
Edimax EW-7811Un wifi dongle.
Anyone have any suggestions to get the ethernet working again?
Steamy puddles of affection,
Einstein & Ed

Hey y'all! Long time, but I'm thinking my health is finally getting to the
point where I might be able to grace the halls of sudo once more.
Next term, I'll be taking diffeq, and part of the class is coming up with
real-world applications of differential equations and then solving them. I
came to the conclusion pretty quickly that I also wanted to build
something, and while dreaming of cat toys and thinking about pendulums, I
realized I was missing the obvious solution: pendulum clocks.
There are quite a few resources out there for building a pendulum clock,
some of them 3D printable and some of them wooden, but I was leaning more
towards doing one in wood, although possibly printing the timing wheel,
then sharpening it down more precisely by hand.
I'm currently looking at basing it off of these plans:
http://www.woodenclocks.co.uk/Clock%207-PR-3.PDF
So my questions are:
Does anyone have any experience with clock building?
How is the laser cutter functioning currently?
Are there any issues a novice clockbuilder should look out for?
What questions haven't I thought of?

To my knowledge (I've been at Omni everyday since), the scaffolding has not
been used since the skin project & it is missing.
If anyone knows where it is, please, let me know. I need to put the curtain
back up in the rafters before an event next week, since the skin project
removed it & failed to put it back up.
