I figured I would ask the list what they have found to be good e.mail services without ads and usability popups from a giant mega corporation that tracks your e.mails and doesn't work with e.mail clients like thunderbird, and offers horrible "help" and has contacted e back only 2 times after the 20+ plus times I have sent e.mails to them. I'm basically done with Goggle.com for e.mail ( yes that is a correct spelling and how I will refer to them from now on as that is exactly what Goggle has done to the internet culture by repackaging and commercializing the internet into a comercially driven serach engine, it has made us myopic quick fix searchers.) Besides this is NOT what the internet was intended to become. Does anyone know of any good secure e.mail sevices online with decent storage that is free? Frustratedly yours, Troy

Drawing Dynamic Visualizations - A revolution in programming and math

by Tom Fitzpatrick

Bret Victor, an Oakland resident, keeps blowing my mind. His latest video is about programming by drawing geometries. Most Mathematicians work in pictures or with their kinesthetic sense, however, programming is algebriac in nature - it is blind symbol manipulation. He argues we have thus far merely emulated old drawing mediums with computer's without utilizing their potential for simulation. http://worrydream.com/#!/DrawingDynamicVisualizationsTalk The site is loaded with gems. Inventing on principle changed my life. His reading list is the finest I've seen. I've read to varying levels of completion about 20 so far and haven't been disappointed yet. It comprises a complete curriculum in winning. http://worrydream.com/#!/Links

I've since merged them and synced their names, so now the canonical repo that I hope everyone will continue using is in these two places: https://gitorious.org/sudoor/sudoor https://github.com/yardenac/sudoor I'm not sure where sudoor-addcode lives, but I'd like to merge that in as well. Just to avoid confusion, other places I'm aware of are: https://gitorious.org/doorman/doorman <--- No longer exists; renamed to sudoor https://github.com/jaekwon/sudoroom_doorman <--- distant ancestor of current code Is anybody aware of any other places where code is hiding?

Putting "SudoRoom opening hours status" on the front page

by Romy Ilano

Hi alls I made a wordpress page SudoRoom Status https://sudoroom.org/sudoroom-status/ I'd like for this eventually to be on the front sudoroom page It is not currently on the front page. we could have a web app with a big green light that shows that the space is open on a particular day it is often confusing for visitors sometimes non members want to stop by and hang out, bringing wood equipment etc. and they are not sure if it will be open or not what do you think?

3D printer nozzle not heating up

by Yardena Cohen

This has been a problem since Saturday morning. I'm told it may be a bad connection but I don't know what to do about it. Would anyone knowledgeable be willing to teach me how to troubleshoot and fix this, so we can start printing things again? Thanks!

Re: [sudo-discuss] Choose Your Own Adventure

by Vicky Knox

Yay! On that thread, the CYOA game designer I mentioned yesterday who I learned about via the April Oakland Nights Live is Porpentine. She designs games that are centered around queer/trans/female experience. The game she walked us through was the "High End Customizable Sauna Experience": http://aliendovecote.com/?p=4732 It's super fun! I really enjoyed speaking with her during intermission. Maybe we could see if she'd be interested in joining a writers' meetup, maybe a Choose Your Own Adventure-themed one? On that note, how do my writing kin feel about theming meetups? Maybe I should save this for the writers' list, but I just can't heelp it at this point...:P
