hi, i tore into the genny that was donated to sudo this am and discovered a
200V 1000uF *can* type capacitor was blown. i was hoping to use it tomorrow
(friday) in a mobile sound system for the march to/from the port. anyone
have any ideas as to where i could find one?
of coarse, we just took several large lcdtvs to ewaste last night.
thx
I just replaced the cover on my hot tun and am about to throw away the old
one, but I thought I would offer it up to anyone at my local hacker spaces
in case anyone has a use for it.
There are 2 halves, each a bit less than 4x8 feet and about 4" thick. It's
made of some sort of medium density closed cell foam covered in a vinyl
fabric of some sort which is easily cut off.
Let me know if you are interested. I can drop it off for you anywhere
nearby.
If I don't hear, it goes to the dump on Tuesday.

Come by Sudo Room tomorrow evening and hold it down after Oakland shuts it
down!
This isn't just a party - it's also a fundraiser to help grow sudo room's
broke-ass bank account. Please bring some cash to donate!
We'll have:
* Fermentation Station's witchy brew and kombucha
* A special batch of SudoMate
* An outdoor laser cutting workshop
* A dance party in sudo itself, with a special guest performance of our hit
group, New Oakland Scavanger Co Electric Spazm Champions - it's like a jug
band without the jugs, and instead with pretty much any instrument you want
* A newly-operational robot arm that will be drawing SVG portraits
* A fresh batch of sudo swag - buttons and new stickers
* Potentially a very special interactive musical performance powered by
lightning!
SPAZ will also be hosting a soundsystem party in the basement of the Omni,
with a tea lounge upstairs in La Commune.
Invite your friends, 7pm til late!
Hey I got some excitement about 3D printing MRIs a few weeks back
Would folks be interested in getting this up on a shared server?
I'm thinking of gathering the MRIs and putting them on Dropbox or
something, but is there a more convenience place at SudoRoom?
Should I just stick this on the wiki?

sudo room now automatically announces last BART departures.
It should announce last departures from MacArthur station for each of the
BART directions, SF, Richmond, Pittsburg and Fremont. It will announce each
last departure twice in the window 30 minutes to 10 minutes before
departure.
Here's how it works: I hooked up a usb audio adapter and some speakers to
the sudo server, wrote a little script that talks to the BART API and set
it up to run as a cronjob that speaks the results using espeak.
The code is here:

It's all new and fragile so you probably shouldn't rely on it just yet.

Dear Omni financiers,
I just sent all of you invoices for your collectives' rent and shared
expenses at the Omni this month. If you didn't receive one, check your spam
folder and let me know if you need me to resend.
Here is a breakdown of the Omni's total shared expenses in April:
*Utilities:*
- PG&E: 721.44
- EBMUD: 478.60
- WM: 140.36
*Taxes & Insurance:*
- Building insurance: 661.00
- Director's & Officer's Insurance: 152.50
- Property taxes: 797.28
- Building tax: 181.35
Utilities are split between member collectives and tenants. Taxes and
insurance are split evenly among member collectives only.
If at all possible, please pay your rent and shared expense invoices on
time (by Friday, May 1). The Omni's ca$h flow is a little low this month.
If you have questions or you know your collective will be late paying rent
this month, talk to someone on the finance working group. It's great to
know in advance how much we can expect to receive by the 1st of the month.
Thanks and <3,
SP + Finances WG
Hello lovely people,
If you don't mind the potential side effects of selling your soul to
Univisión* and Disney/ABC, this might be an interesting way to highlight
some of the things Sudofolk, CCLers and beyond have been up to.

*I have to admit that I like Univisión, and that's probably because I am a
member of their target audience AND brainwashed. :]
Sending you ♥ from sunny San Diego,
Vicky
