Fwd: Re: [omni-discuss] Strange man sleeping in eyeball room

by Eske Silver

Oops, sorry, I keep forgetting to cc everyone in the thread. Sending this in case not everyone is getting all of the replies. ~ Korl ---------- Forwarded: Okie doke. So. I spoke the alleged permissor, and according to them, the squatter indeed lied about having been given the go ahead, and dropped their name by way of a mutual friend or somesuch situation. I'm also very glad to say, that my worries were hasty and misinformed. The squatter in question is the bald and scruffled, 40-to-50-year-old black man, who often hangs out on the exterior steps of the ballroom entryway. It's unclear exactly how he got in, but what is clear is that we need to step up our game by discussing all the ideas offered above. Now I really am going to sleep. I hope to dream that all of you are my familial elms, that our trunks are made of space elevators, and that our roots are made of billions of microscopic hedgehogs. And the hedgehogs are rowing canoes, of course. ~ Korl ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Eske Silver" <eske.silver(a)gmail.com> Date: Nov 24, 2014 3:36 PM Subject: Re: [omni-discuss] Strange man sleeping in eyeball room To: "niki" <niki.shelley(a)gmail.com> Cc: "discuss" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, "Jenny Ryan" < tunabananas(a)gmail.com> If the situation is what I think, I feel we ought to give as much support as we can to our friend. However, I do think we ought to be strict on our tolerance level for abuse of any kind; space, place, object, and of course person. Perhaps a breakout session is due for anyone who isn't already aware of how to deal with agressive or threatening people. Especially for lone situations. Perhaps we ought to even start spending ten mins of the delegates meeting, revisiting the table of contents of our spankin new Conflict Resolution guidelines, every few or four weeks? And it's semi-off-topic, but this quote really snapped me out of some lame situations, "Theres never a good reason to light yourself on fire in order to keep someone else warm". Just food for thought. Omni can be a place where everyone is welcome to exist, dance, hack, cook, heal, build, etc. But if we don't feel comfortable and safe with each other, that can't last long. I dunno. I'm exhausted and gufflebrained, and I've lost my train of thought.

X marks the spot for all roof leaks!

by David Keenan

https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Leaks There appears to be some confusion about how to semi-permanently mark the location of leaks, so that the roofer knows where on the roof to fix them.. In short, we need to mark an 'X' on the floor where the leak is. If you see a leak, please quickly mark it on the floor - don't wait.. Buckets do get put out currently, but then of course, they get moved when the rain stops - and so the info about where the leak originated on the roof is basically lost, and then the roofer doesn't fix it, and it leaks again..and so on and so forth. I made the wiki page in the hopes that this SOP regarding leaks will spread and remain persistent throughout the omniverse. . thank yoo David

do not sit on ballroom SW corner bench rite now (being worked on)?

by David Keenan

Hey guys, I'm planning on remediating a liability and building code issue with the ballroom bench bench running into the middle of a small staircase leading from the ballroom floor to the 'maintenance closet' in the SW corner of the ballroom, by cutting down the length of this bench of the West side such that the stairs are properly exposed. All the bolts have been removed, but it is still affixed with either glue or deeply embedded nails on the SW corner side, won't budge, and I need to cut the very end off to remove it, but my Fein saw is gone and my skillsaw is at home.. so it's still in place. For the time being please do not sit on this bench and definitely leave the 'do not sit' signs up. David

Card Swipe not working - door stuck in unlocked position

by niki

Hey y'all I'm not sure how to fix this - I did the very technically savvy thing where you unplug stuff and I also tried turning the power off and on but even those pro moves didn't work. Any tips? xo N

Re: [sudo-discuss] Card Swipe not working - door stuck in unlocked position

by Jake

If you lift the mail slot and the motor makes sounds like it's trying, but the sticks don't move, it sounds like something is wrong. I don't know what, and i'm in Texas and I won't return until Wednesday, so i can't help. If you need to lock the door and the motor is not working, take out the screw that holds the top of the motor to the stick. DON'T take out the screw that holds the bottom of the motor to the bottom latch! -jake On Fri Nov 21 Niki wrote: Hey y'all I'm not sure how to fix this - I did the very technically savvy thing where you unplug stuff and I also tried turning the power off and on but even those pro moves didn't work.
