Lost Sudoer Found on 2141 Broadway Roof After 300 Days of Bewilderment

by Maximilian Klein

>From the Oakland Tribune this morning: " The Hacker, who can only remember their identify by a bracelet reading "m3g4h347", descended from the old Sudo Room roof, to an empty common space wondering were every was. "I'd just gone upstairs for a nap before the next Bay Area public school Latin Catechism, and the next thing I knew everybody was gone," said the extremely sunburned interviewee. Popping open their ThinkPad, and seeing their 3,689 unread emails on the sudo-discuss list, they realized something was very, very wrong. "I saw a lot of mentions of 'the Omni', but I just took that to be some sort of spiritual outgrowth of the Kopimists. You know, like 'we've transcended', 'we're going to that great data-center in the sky', 'we're going to the Omni'. I think I saw reference to 'the Omni' in the 1995 classic Hackers, I'm pretty sure Angelina mentions it once in there." Speculating on what could have caused such a slumber, m3g4h347 seems to think some science went awry. "Last thing I know I was cleaning some sort of neon substance off the sudoshrooms, I did feel a bit lightheaded from the spore intake, that's why I went to the roof in the first place." After having tripped out a bit, the hacker was trapped in a dream/nightmare of answering the intercom and dealing with the landlord, but eventually reawoke almost a year later when they were hit with a bag of recycling that was flung from the lower level. M3g4h347 will rejoin next meeting on a fact finding mission to determine just who exactly neglected their mycological duties for so long, and to update openSSL on their server having only just now found out about heartbleed. "How did you let things get so bad in my absence?" " Make a great day, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

Suggestions?

by niki

I'm thinking maybe deposit equal amounts of this pile of trash (passive aggressively dumped in from of a "No Trash Here Plz" sign!) in the middle of each room of the building? Seriously though - does anyone have any thoughts as to what to do about this situation? I know I'm not the only person who has dealt with the trash but seeing this only weeks after personally making a huge dump run puts me right on the very border of freak out city. I'm not making another dump run!! Help!! [image: Inline image 1]

Visit from a makerspace founder from Greece

by Anca Mosoiu

Hi everyone, I'm not sure who is hanging out this afternoon, but I've invited Ilias to drop by Omni and meet some SudoRoom, CCL, and other commons members. Ilias is a student in Greece, visiting California to check out various maker and hacker spaces. He's hoping to create a space for fabrication and education for people of all ages. He's visited a whole lot of other spaces, including Noisebridge, Ace Monster Toys and even the LA Makerspace. If someone is around to give him a tour, or explain what's going on, it would be great. Cheers, Anca. -- -=-=-=- Anca Mosoiu | Tech Liminal anca(a)techliminal.com M: (510) 220-6660 http://techliminal.com | T: @techliminal | F: facebook.com/techliminal

please leave orange Rigid shopvac permanently under Omni chop/rip saw

by David Keenan

Hello all, After many months, I found my long-lost shopvac the other day (large orange tubby-looking 'Rigid' brand) - it seemed to have re-emerged with the sudo cleanup.. very happy about that. I put a new filter in and installed it back under the chop saw. Please all, leave it there and do not remove it - it is set up this way to inhale the dust from the saw so there is less mess and the air remains healthier. To turn on the chopsaw, simply click on the power strip thats ziptied to the side - this turns on the vacuum too. I ask that everyone leave this setup as one unit. If you need to use the rip saw, simply lift the chopsaw stand off and unplug it, then put it back on when you're done. For normal shopvac'ing, the tall RED 'ShopVac'-brand shopvac (that I also installed a new filter to) should be the one used for other jobs. Currently I saw this one last, also in the secure storage room, but now that the orange Rigid one is returned the red one should be put the red one back in sudo room (as I believe it is sudo's anyhow - not sure why it is in the secure storage room, but probably someone thought it was the best place for it). If you need to use the random orbital sander with a shopvac (makes the sanding pads last much longer and produces far less dust too) -- in the secure storage room, there is a large black flexible vacuum tube with a sander exhaust attachment permanently taped onto it (with shiny metal tape). Attach one end to the the sander, and the other end to one of the other shopvac's (any one that is not not part of the chop/ripsaw stand setup) and you're good to go for that stuff, too. Hope this helps clarify stuffs. Love, David

Help needed to retrieve lab equipment for CCL

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, Bio-Link Depot is currently holding a FREE Biosafety Cabinet for us, that would be perfect to start up CCL's BSL-2 lab room. That means we'd be able to work with human cell lines and samples, and to isolate microorganisms with interesting properties (such as bioluminescent bacteria from squid skin, or oil degrading bacteria from soil). Catch is... we need to go get it! And soon, because there are other groups interested as well. The Bio-Link Depot is just North of the SF airport, only half an hour away if you can avoid traffic. We've been advised to pick up during daylight, so as to avoid interactions with the security around the airport. LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP OUT, and when during daytime works for you. The current plan is to rent a UHaul truck with a loading ramp, and winch it up (the cabinet is on heavy casters). But if someone has a truck with a lift gate, that would be even better. Marc - the truck we used last time, was that Rikke's? Thanks! Patrik
