Sorry to beat a dead horse here, but just for the record ... 1) To bill Saturday's show as apolitical "entertainment" would be disingenuous. They did not invite Dan Siegel the private citizen to chat with him about his hobbies. They invited three candidates for an upcoming election to air campaign commercials, give stump speeches and answer token questions about their political platform. Exactly that, no more, no less. 2) Absolutely nothing in my critique was "radical". It was barely even liberal. Asking for substantive debate is about the most centrist position you could possibly imagine. Has our overton window really shifted this much?

Tomorrow (Sunday) at 6pm some Omni folks are throwing a basement-cleaning party. Things may get thrown out unless they are marked with a note or some blue masking tape. They also plan to cull the book collection, creating a pile of unwanted books to be recycled the following week. I highly recommend Sudoers attend and help out with this. Thanks.

They had 3 mayoral candidates in the room (parker, tuman, siegel), but chose to interview one candidate at a time. Each candidate got an uninterrupted stump speech, pandering questions from the hosts, then 2 ad-hoc audience questions, and that was it. One even screened a commercial. I was disappointed and insulted because I'd heard it was going to be a "debate." Maybe it got distorted in the rumor-mill. But either way, this candidate-showcasing style of engagement is something people have fought against for ages. It's passive, undemocratic, and pointless. If we're going to engage with electoral politics we should know this history. Here's the League of Women Voters explaining why they stopped hosting presidential "debates" in 1988: http://www.lwv.org/press-releases/league-refuses-help-perpetrate-fraud Some more history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_debates#D… I think at minimum, a debate needs to: * force candidates to interact with each other * invite all candidates at the same time * prioritize audience participation and engagement We missed an opportunity - we had them on our turf and did nothing new with them - but it's not too late. On October 11 they're hosting 3 more (schaaf, kaplan, quan). Maybe ONL will be open to input on how they conduct next month's event! Any Sudoers who want to ask tough questions on the record of present and future mayors on our turf, now's your chance to get involved. :)

robot tonight

by Jake

to all those who have expressed interest in hacking the robot, i hope to come to sudoroom tonight to play with it some more. i have bolts with which to bolt it down to its pallet, and I will add 2x4 boards to the pallet to make it less likely to tip over. It won't be perfect but it will be good enough to play with, and still easy to move to a different location when the time comes. If you haven't already started, start reading the fucking manuals at this site: http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/ specifically, http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/479950-3-Programming_manual_v4.pdf and if you're into coding and want to control it from a real computer, read this one (and some others, not sure which) starting around page 43 (page 49 of the PDF): http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/479236-17-Communications.pdf I will take care of physically connecting it to the serial port of the 3d-printing desktop computer, so you can connect over the network and operate it that way without having to connect the robot to your laptop. Tonight (assuming i make it to sudo on time) i intend to program it to shake its maraca vigorously to the beat of some music, and bolt it down to its platform.. not necessarily in that order. Oh and hook up the serial cord. -jake

null modem adaptor needed

by Jake

i feel ridiculous asking for a null-modem adaptor... and certainly one can be made with a bit of soldering on a regular cable (which we have extras of) but if anyone has a null-modem adaptor laying around, i think we need it for the robot. A DE-9 to DE-9 (male to female) would be ideal, although a DB-25 one would work too. Even if it goes from 25 to 9 pins that would be fine. We have lots of regular serial cables. This is to hook the 3d-printing desktop computer up to the robot, so we can make it do more stuff. I am not sure a null-modem adaptor is needed, but it doesn't seem to say anything at all without one so i'm guessing that's the problem. Normally a disk drive (which we have) plugs into this port on the robot, so to connect the robot to a computer would suggest DTE-DTE which would require a null-modem adaptor. -jake * there is no such thing as a DB-9 connector: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature#mediaviewer/File:DSubminiatures… DCE/DTE and null-modem adaptors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_terminal_equipment

Re: [sudo-discuss] Sudoroom electrical plans

by Whitney Lawrence

Howdy, Let me begin with thanking you for looking at the proposal. Your interpretation of the plans is correct.{ Main -> above stage panel -> balcony panel } is how the proposed plan is drawn. There is enough room in the balcony panel (which is the one located in the small room that shares a wall with the server loft of sudoroom) to accomplish phase 1 of the proposal. The proposal is based on instruction received to minimize cost. Ideally, there would be a main panel breaker that supplies a sub panel for all of sudo's needs (phase 1 and phase 2). I can't accurately guess at a cost number for this type of installation. Figure a 100amp sub with hundreds of feet of 2awg plus breaker box plus breakers plus conduit plus hardware. All depending on if the main service can even handle the additional power demands (hiring an electrician to run the calcs). Ballpark $3-5k maybe- but its really a shot in the dark? My experience with this type of thing is there is always a better way to do it, if you go the money. A middle road is to plan on having the future sudo-sub panel placed near the balcony panel. Build in an extra 5ft or so of wire for the future transition into the new sudo-sub panel. All that would be needed is to remove the breakers from the old box re-run wire from J-box 1 to the new sudo-sub, as well as re-routing the 240V lines from the above stage panel to the sudo-sub (and of course preform all the main -> suod-sub work). as far as existing vs proposed. only the sub panels mentioned above exist currently- I'll make a note to call out the existing stuff in the drawings.
