My friend is trying to start a business building electric cargo tricycles:
https://igg.me/at/frankentrikes
"do me the honor of at least watching the vid if you haven't already cause
we put a lot of work into that and share it with Noisebridge and SudoRoom
This is about diy going pro. There's nothing shameful about taking a
successful project and wanting to share it to a broader audience. I would
love nothing more than to see tricycles take over American streets just
as they are being driven out of Asian streets.
That would be a genuine victory."
so there's a robot being built at sudoroom... another one.
it's based on a golf-club bag caddy cart thing I pulled out of the trash
at Shipyard in berkeley. It's pretty lightweight so it's less likely to
break peoples legs if it goes berzerk, compared with the last mobile robot
i made (MC Hawking) which was based on a really heavy electric wheelchair.
Robb has supplied some awesome batteries, lfp100aha which each need two
bolts to connect to them, M8 thread, and no more than 10mm long threads
with no shoulder. We have four of them so we need eight bolts.
if you have access to a kit of M8 bolts and can grab eight 10mm long (the
threaded part that is) of them, we need them to proceed with the robot.
it's next to the regular robot arm, which is in its usual spot. If you
bring the bolts to me or Robb or place them in the hand of the big robot,
that would be awesome.
Also, seeking AI programmers to make this robot work.
thank you

despite the hubblub out there about firewire audio not being supported by
linux, all i had to do was:
*sudo gedit /etc/default/rtirq*
change
RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="rtc snd usb i8042"
to
RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="rtc *firewire* snd usb i8042"
&
RTIRQ_NONE_THREADED="rtc snd"
to
RTIRQ_NON_THREADED="rtc *firewire* snd"
open *qjackctl* -> click Setup -> change settings to
Driver: *firewire* (This selects the ffado driver stack)
Interface: hw:0
Audio:Duplex (or Capture only)
Check Realtime
Priority: (default)
Frames/Period: *128*
Sample Rate: 44100 (adjust the sample rate to the specs of your fw device)
Periods/Buffer: 3

When I was in Latin Am they had water soaked in hot peppers like the images attached (for hot sauce). How long do you think I could use this before it goes bad?

Hey all,
The network equipment had been organized recently, and the platform had been reorganized for better access to the printers.
However, I decluttered the rest of the junk laying around and consolidated the audio equipment.
Please help keep this area clean and useable!
There are two 1/8" headphone jacks connected to the "phono" input of the fisher stereo. One is on the platform, at the standing desk. The other is on the main sudo table on the ground floor, as usual.
You can also select the "tuner" input.
Please leave both speakers A and B on, they sound better together (less distortion, harder to blow out).
This is a lighter-duty set up than before, so the sound level should be more manageable. Further, we have several more inputs available, so please take advantage of that.
Maybe we should connect sudo bot in to one of these?
Murmurmurmurmur
Gnight!
well done. it looks great. i expect having to switch between sudobot &
whatever else might be an issue for sudobot.
perhaps we should ask them.

Dear Sudo Room,
Here's your March invoice! We appreciate your prompt payment.
Thanks for stewarding the commons!
Omni Oakland
------------------------ Invoice Summary --------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi everyone,
I'm just finishing up a move from Tech Liminal's space in downtown Oakland
to a much smaller space, and will not be needing some of the furniture.
We've already found homes for everything but this round IKEA table:
[image: Inline image 1]
Would this be useful at the Omni? If so, I can drop it off tonight around
8:30 PM. The table is in okay shape - the top has some dings on it. It's
pretty sturdy and around 48" in diameter.
Cheers,
Anca.

I have a contract position available for someone who is up for the task of
implementing/improving web-based 1D/2D barcode scanning algorithms.
The details are:
1. We have a partial DataMatrix scanner implementation that needs
completion/improvement (speed / fidelity) or replacement.
2. We need 1D barcode scanning ported from Java to JavaScript.
The first one is the most important.
The organization is the BioBricks foundation which is a non-profit: "Our
mission is to ensure that the engineering of biology is conducted in an
open and ethical manner to benefit all people and the planet."
We're developing a system to facilitate the sharing of open wetware (DNA,
strains, etc.) and part of tracking samples is scanning tiny 2D barcodes on
the bottom of sample tubes that are sometimes partially obscured by
ice/condensation.
All code should be implemented in javascript that can run both in node.js
and in the browser. All code developed will be released as open source.
Work is decentralized so you can work from home/wherever.
Let me know if you're interested or know anyone who might be interested.
