Hey all,
The Omni Door card-swipe system seems to be working at the moment. However,
be aware there might be an issue that resurfaces.
I came upon the front door system and it was not working. This was strange
because Marc was granting access to a gaggle of folks maybe an hour before.
The laptop was off, the switch was off, and all the cords were a tangled
mess. I re-built a new little shelf for the laptop/server, power strips,
switch, etc that are in the southeast corner of the front room of the
building. Everything is neatly organized, let's keep it that way!
The magnetic stripe card reader was giving me such guff! It really didn't
want to work, and I tested every single component to try to figure it out.
I swapped to a new USB hub with a power supply several times, but on my
last try it miraculously went from non-working to working. I have no idea
why.
I did, however, build a theory for the color code of the magnetic stripe
card reader:
- Red LED - power is on, problem with connection
- Yellow LED - power is on, no connection
- Green LED - power is on, connected
- UNLESS the green LED turns off after just one swipe, in which case:
- No light from LED - no power, possibly low power, or something else is
happening I can't explain.

Greetings all,
Are any Sudoers at defcon this year? I just got to lost vegas, and am prepping for the conference opening tomorrow. Would love to re-connect and share the experience with you.
please drop me a line if you find yourself here.

Any recommendations for a cheap place to stay for a visiting biohacker from
La Paillasse in Paris? Anyone willing to put him up for a few days?
Thanks!
Patrik

Hello,
I'm Sebastien from France, where I'm involved in a bio-hackerspace called
La Paillasse. I heard about you from Mitch Altman that I met many times in
Paris. What you are doing at counter culture lab seems really cool and
interesting. I will be around SF from the 5th of August, for the INNS
conference (near SFO airport) from 8th to 10th and a workshop I'm working
on about Deep Learning and Neural Networks at Stanford on the 11th.
I would be happy to meet you on the 5th evening or 6th evening. However I
would need to find a cheap place to stay in the area. Would you have any
recommendation?
Best regards,
Sébastien
yar mates,
i need some nice 10k or so slide potentiometers for an arduino dmx
controller <http://www.deskontrol.net/blog/small-arduino-dmx-controller/>that
will be permanently installed in the omni ballroom, maybe some switches
too.
we're broke right now, an 8 channel relay/dimmer
<http://www.ebay.com/itm/360717697832> is arriving next tuesday (no time to
order from china neway), 3 mega 2560s arrived today and we are almost done

Also, if a visitor comes here, try to get them to bookmark this site or
email them a link to this site. A lot of stuff that has happened at
SudoRoom isn't immediately apparent when you scan the room! A lot of stuff
we have is temporary. Better yet, see if people can join our wiki even as
outsiders and add interesting tidbits.

Hi RPS Collective is visiting SudoRoom Thursday night.
I feel we should literally put out the red carpet for them. We have a lot
we can learn form them. I'd love to see them in our space, but that's
really up to them.
Things they do well that we could learn from
- work with youth in a genuine, non superficial / non tokenistic way -
this is hard to pull off with most hackerspaces. their programs have this
magic combination that treats young people as equals and it feels
authentic. much more so even than most public education programs
- work well with mainstream and older women while still being quirky
themselves es- this is something that's hard to pull off for many
hackerspaces and collectives.
- integrate sewing and crafts in an authentic way - this is not our
strong point.
- celebrate the arts in a unique way - that doesn't just include
hipsters.
i hope everyone can be extra accommodating to them. they are cool. I used
to volunteer with them even though I was never a member.
by the way they are looking for monthly donations for the ac transit youth
bus passes ->

Hey so speaking of that youth program, We need some monthly AC Transit
Youth Bus passes. Anyone want to sponsor? 20 bucks each. Tax deductible
donation to get youth creative

could someone arrange to have mom hackers to come in the space?
I know this is sort of sexist, but instead of them being seen as human
beings, they will spend the whole time talking about how they are
stereotypical mothers, and they buy mom things, and do things that moms
traditionally do like take care of kids and care of their husbands.
then they will work on a project that involves:
charity
child care
something with refugees
we can do this for PR
then when the whole thing is over we will take them in the back and take
off their shackles and tell them they are not just mothers but human
beings! their lives do not revolve around baby pictures on Facebook ! they
will not have to watch romantic comedies or work on craft and scrapbooking
projects but be fully fleshed human beings with careers, interests and
lives!!!
liberation!
