yesterday i brought a bunch of stuff donated to sudoroom, including a really nice large workbench (blue, with a tool hanging rack, it only made it to La Commune so hopefully people can get it to sudo somehow...) there were three decent 64bit desktop computers, and also... a dot-matrix printer!!! a Panasonic KX-P1180: http://www.orgprint.com/imaged/O/OtODmJjWMS_9758_preview_465_240.jpg it's made for tractor-feed paper. they were using it to make wire labels, and i got some wire-label paper if we need that. But i think we should use it to print out THE IRC CHANNEL... LIVE or the TWITTER FEED... live. Since tractor-feed paper is a continuous feed, we can just print it like a continuous scroll, and always have a paper record. i dunno, maybe it's a dumb idea. maybe we should just trash it. does anyone have a box of tractor-feed paper? http://thumb7.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/137608/115044349/stock… http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/gadgetlab/2013/07/tractor-feed-printer-66…

Re: [sudo-discuss] International Space Apps Challenge @ Omni

by Ryan

I don't think I have the physical ability right now to facilitate the event, but I'd really like to see it happen. I'm adding in sudo discuss on this because there might be folks willing to do it! Sudoers! This hackathon needs someone to facilitate the weekend and it is a paying gig with training provided. If we'd like to have Oakland be a part of this global hackathon, we'll need to come up with someone to do so!

Hello all you lovely humans, I hereby - Resign as board 'president' of Omni Oakland Commons. - Rescind entirely my various omni-related memberships to: Bay Area Public School, Sudo Room, and Black Hole Collective Lab. - Will unsubscribe from all omni-related mailing lists immediately following this email - I spent a substantial amount of of my life the last couple years working on, and getting other folks to believe in, this project. But as all things must end at some point, it is now time for me to bid thee all a fond farewell. I love you all, and give the greatest thanks imaginable to all the untold hours, days and years of work put into making this dream real. Nothing but love - good night David

Gratipay Payout and Internet Archive Federal Credit Union deposit issue

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, We had some issues getting Gratipay (our donation service provider at https://gratipay.com/sudoroom) to work with their payment processing Balanced Payments to make successful payouts (transactions) to our bank account with IAFCU, the Internet Archive Federal Credit Union, aka the Internet Credit Union. Now, the issues should be resolved. I am waiting to see the credit appear in our IAFCU account records, but I got confirmation that Gratipay successfully transacted the payout today via Balanced Payments. These were the primary issues, which took substantial digging to figure out: 1. There seem to be some federal regulations that required our credit union to explicitly post payments to either our savings or our checking account, without ambiguity. This is done by adding a suffix to our account number for any given transaction, i.e. add "000" to correspond to our savings account. 2. However, also, when this suffix is appended to our account number, there must also be a matching value that corresponds to "savings" or "checking" called a "TRANS code". Unfortunately, gratipay did not expose this value option in their interface, despite it being supported by Balanced Payments's API. We should now have the correct suffix and the correct TRANS code that matches to deposit gratipay payouts to our savings account at IAFCU. Whew. // Matt

Bubble

Anyone else notice that the NASDAQ Composite Index has about reached the nominal peak of the dotcom boom? It's not at the real value peak (i.e. adjusted for inflation), but still pretty peakish: http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=COMP&instty… It seems to me that additional market forces caused by the likes of a crisis in student debt or perhaps a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, could hasten the inevitable burst. Otherwise we may be looking at just a few years before a substantial fall in the stock market, devaluation of over-inflated "tech" companies, subsided startup investment, decrease in technology field employment, or other similar things... What might one do to prepare, as if not soon, at least inevitably there will be some stock market crash that will largely affect the wide bay area economy? // Matt

Re: [sudo-discuss] Arduino Bootloader on the ESP8266

by Jake

that's totally excellent. I have two of those but i haven't had a chance to play with them yet. perhaps there needs to be another hacknight at sudoroom, called software hacking thursdays or something like that? since this would technically be software since the hardware is already put together... but who would host a Software Hacking Thursdays at sudoroom every week? do you have one yet? what would you do with it? i still haven't had a chance to play with openWRT and the zillions of compatible routers i have piles of. They run on a wide range of voltage (built-in buck converter) and they run linux, they have a TTL serial port and a few GPIOs.. what can't you do with them? -jake On Thursday Adam wrote: Someone managed to cram the arduino bootloader on the ESP8266 https://makezine.com/2015/04/01/esp8266-5-microcontroller-wi-fi-now-arduino… Yup. $3 wifi arduino. $1.50 in aliexpress bulk.
