thanks Null (whoever that is) for bringing this up and suggesting good pointers on how we should deal with such situations. I agree with Patrik that it's important for someone to take a picture, when someone makes enough of a problem that it takes multiple people to deal with them, a photograph is essential for two reasons: 1. it allows us to share with each other the knowledge about a problem person in case they come back (expecting no one will remember them) 2. it lets them know that we will not forget who they are, and that they should forget about us and never come back. I must stress that #2 is the most important aspect of this, because ultimately our goal should be for problem people to go away and never come back. Ideally they will tell their friends "don't bother, those people are not the victims we believed them to be" or a paraphrase of that. in particular, read the story of "Thief" from the noisebridge 86 wiki: https://noisebridge.net/wiki/86 "This guy went into the back classroom and took Rayc's wallet out of his backpack. Rayc saw him with the wallet in his hand and the guy tried to say it was his. He then started running towards the door and was tackled by Jake. We made him show us that nothing was in his pockets, and he kept avoiding the big pocket in the front of his jacket. This pocket turned out to have Sasha's smart phone. During the search his crack pipe fell onto the floor and broke into many pieces. We let him go and told him not to come back." It took several people holding onto him to keep him from exiting down the stairwell with people's property. He really wanted to leave but he did not hit or strike anyone at any time, which is why we let him go after searching him and getting the stolen items back. When there is no photograph, it's basically impossible to prevent a person from coming back whenever they want unless there is a person there who will recognize them. We can't be playing cat and mouse with people who want to take advantage of us. -jake

Anyone know folks @ the Audium in SF?

by David Keenan

I'm trying to arrange a talk and audio presentation in mid-Feb by David Monacchi, a Professor of Electroacoustic Music at the Conservatory of Pesaro, Italy who has spent years performing 3D audio recordings of the rainforest. Playback of these amazing recordings requires super-specialized rooms and sound setups and the Audium <http://www.audium.org/index.html> in SF is about the only place I can think might be able to do it. I sent them an email but I'm hoping someone in our community might have a way to contact them, since if this event is going to happen, its coming up fast. Does anybody know anybody at Audium? David

Anybody see a small grey nylon case outside of the sudoroom?

I think I left it there when I was showing some comrades my new LED projector: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2457122,00.as Not much inside it, only a $13 slimport adapter for my Nexus 7, a HDMI cable and an audio cable, but it would be a convenience to reclaim it if possible. e -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Now and then an innocent man is sent to legislature. - Kin Hubbard Edmund J.

SF Resistor #2 & other unfortunate events (NOT SPAM!)

by Tony Longshanks LeTigre

I hope everyone won't mind this unsolicited zinetic outburst. I simply cannot contain myself. The second issue of my zine is now online at http://resistor.spaz.org! <http://resistor.spaz.org> Click the PDF directory. You will find reading & printing PDFs for both issues of SF Resistor so far. The second issue was actually finished just before Christmas as scheduled, but it's taken me this long to figure out FTP for the first time & get the files up without an internet-connectable laptop of my own. If you are just reading the zine online, select the read.pdfs for each issue. SFR2 appears green because it's printed on green paper. I am heading north in a couple months but plan to produce two more issues of SFR before leaving. I'm already at work on the 3rd one. Each issue will be printed on different color paper. Then I will collect the zine quadrilogy & dispense copies to excellent people. That will happen in mid-March/early April. Instructions for printing are on page 3 of SFR2, & will soon be up on the site in a README file. The site will be developed into a blog (ArcTangent (x) is the name) but is just a seedling file tree a t m. And for anyone who saw one of the crappy first-run print copies of SFR2, the PDF file write snafu has been corrected (it turned out to be a simple directory name error on my part) so I have print copies that look good & are fully legible now. I'm bringing some to the OMNI bookstore this weekend. (My second visit to the new Sudospace.) I would like to help develop the SR zine & teach people how to make zines, do layout both digitally & by hand, etc. Also I am helping my friend, a person known to many, start a combination printshop+cafe in the east bay soon. The need is definitely there. I've been doing my printing at the public library & the print stations there are always packed to the max. I've started giving impromptu tutoring sessions to puzzled library patrons, since I often seem to know more about this stuff than the staff. *SF Resistor #2* *December 2014* *List of Contents* Page 1: Intro / District Zero / Freeks Page 2: Feedback (reader letters) Page 3: Printing, layout & design info Page 4: My Many SF Squats (3 Years of Exhilarating Chaos!)
