Aw it's ok, I wasn't upset. Glad that he is returning to life in some
form, actually. :)
Hey all, I'm trying to build a winch for the 14' projection screen that
going up over the ballroom stage out of a wheelchair motor assembly. Per
Jake's suggestion, I hacked 2 server PSUs to get 24v@14a but the controller
is not working and the error code says the right wheel/motor is missing/not
engaged. Anyone know what I am missing? Do I need to jump something to get
the controller to engage while it is "incomplete"?
Thank you,

Hi there,
Checking in about payment for Sudo Room's rent in April (see attached invoice). I apologize for not being totally in the loop on this, but it's my impression that the Omni agreed to give Sudo a $135.00 rebate on your April rent as reimbursement for paying the Omni's wifi. Is that correct?
If so, please see the outstanding balance on your invoice for April 2015 rent and process payment as soon as you're able. Otherwise, please let me know if any of this is incorrect so I can update your invoice accordingly.
Thanks so much!

A documentary for the bitcoin-heads on living exclusively on btc. I'm a
total hater. My impression is that it's a couple of bourgie SF-y folks with
a self-imposed "struggle", but I think it should be interesting
nonetheless! Plus, the Internet Archive is incredible. :]

Subject: [Announce-sfbay] You Are Invited: SF Premiere of "Life on Bitcoin"
Film at the Archive

Join us *Wednesday, **July 22nd from 6:30-10:30 p.m*. for a the San
Francisco Premiere of the documentary film "*Life on Bitcoin*," at the
Internet Archive.
The film covers the experience of newlyweds Austin and Beccy Craig who
struggle for 100+ days to live entirely on the upstart currency.
Austin and Beccy will attend and conduct a Q&A session following the film.
The couple began the experiment when their credit cards, debit cards and
cash were confiscated at the airport upon arrival from their honeymoon.
“It felt like learning to swim by jumping in the deep end of the pool,”
said Austin Craig.
For the next three months, the Craigs tested Bitcoin (and their marriage)
by relying solely on the cryptocurrency for every expense, including gas,
rent, groceries, speeding tickets, and insurance. For every transaction,
they had to evangelize the currency to survive. Ultimately their adventure
took them on a road trip across the United States and into Europe and Asia.
This film sheds light on the practical strengths and early limitations of
bitcoin technology and mixes it with a large dose of entertainment and fun.

Subject: [sudo-info] Make your own microscope class - could we use your space?
To: info(a)sudoroom.org
Hi,
We're looking to run a 'Make your own microscope' craft class for
homeschooled kids based on this Foldscope kit, and are looking for a
location to host it in or close to Berkeley and I wondered if we might
be able to use your space for a fee?
The class would be on Wednesday, July 22, 2-4pm. If it could be a
possibility, perhaps we could jump on the phone briefly to discuss?
Some context: we're working on Outschool which is a project to make
more great learning activities available outside regular school. We're
initially focused on the homeschooling community and have blogged
about the ideas behind the project here:
http://amir.io/outschooling-in-the-bay-area
I'd appreciate your help or suggestions. Many thanks for your time!

So there's this chip that I just gotta have for a project I am working on.
The only problem is that it seems like EVERYTHING in IC form now it
packaged in these teensy little surface mount chips. I don't have a small
enough soldering iron and I'd rather not hassle with trying to make it work
with my shitty equipment.
Wondering if sudo or Noisebridge is set up for a solder reflow oven with an
accurate temperature control? Also, I am not totally clear about how I
create a silkscreen soldering setup for a given PCB design. Does anyone on
this list have a lot of experience with this?
Thanks,
Cere
