Microcontroller hacking tomorrow night?

by hol＠gaskill.com

Anybody want to do some microcontroller tinkering tomorrow night? Would like to figure out how to interface arduinoRPi. Also going to continue work on using Processing http://processing.org/exhibition/ to communicate with microcontrollers. Lots of power when you combine a few of these basic tools... Cheers, Hol

Yelp Locksmiths Greatest Hits Vol. 1

by rusty lindgren

1. *"These mother fuckers should burn in hell. *Quit scamming people. You'd make more money actually being nice honest and helping more people that like your business instead of charging a shit load for 1 customer and losing 27490291. 2. "...The guy shows up in literally 10 minutes, pops open the door in about 30 seconds and then charges me $100 for the "labor" because opening a door is a $100 charge. WTF... Such bullshit. *Two stars for him being super speedy though.*" 3. *"Since my cat was inside crying and needing to be fed*- I told him I would pay $200 for him to unlock it or I was going to call someone else. He ended up drilling the lock out and then wanting to charge another $190 to replace it. *Preying on desperate people in bad situations.*" 4. "When he got here he said it would be 29 dollars service fee and 100 to pick the lock, he spent exactly 30 seconds trying to pick the lock, said it was unpickable and went to his car to get a drill and another lock to replace it. Took him may be 15 minutes to drill and replace the lock then he handed me a bill for 258 dollars. I said how could something that jtook under 30 minutes with very little effort cost so much. *He didn't care, just took my credit card and charged it."* 5. IF I COULD GIVE THEM NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD NOT HESITATE! *This is my first review and I actually made a yelp account just to save anyone from falling into their scam* they call a business. 6. They call themselves locksmiths, but that is a joke. They completely busted our font door lock (to the point that the handle was hanging loosely off the door and no long worked to keep the door closed), then proceeded to charge (and demand!) $150 for the "service." *I could have gotten in a lot quicker and cheaper by borrowing a neighbor's hammer!* -Rusty

thunderbolt video cards

by rusty lindgren

Anyone done this on mac or linux(link below)? Would be cool to just send rendering jobs over thunderbolt... would be even cooler if I could build the pci-board set up myself, rather than spend a lot on this set-up. http://9to5mac.com/2012/12/11/mlogics-mlink-thunderbolt-expansion-chassis-n… -Rusty **

Hi everyone, Just a reminder that we'll be having art murmur this evening at sudo room. Coyote counter collective will be there from 7-10pm repping art, designs, and photos from a dozen different artists -including laser etched stuff! mediumreality.com We may also have a visit from Masahiro and his brain interface machine once again! As Jenny mentioned, we have been asked by George and Laurie to close up shop by 11PM, so join us early for art, socialization, and hacking! - Marina

It's Unconscionable

by Eddan

Now, this requires a response. Has anybody started drafting something? If not, I will. ... Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan<http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea&…> was not pleased. "I'm in shock that people would provide a class to teach people a skill to violate the law," Jordan said. "It's unconscionable." Lock-pick instructor Michael Fitzhugh<http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea&…> is a member of TOOOL (The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers<http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea&…>), a Netherlands-based outfit that teaches and holds national and international lock-picking events annually. In their world, lock picking is done for sport and bragging rights. But, he says, it's also a useful tool if you lock yourself out of your home. Jordan has a more conventional solution to that problem: "Call a locksmith!" http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Quan-s-wrong-note-on-lock-picking-cla… Even worse than Quan, this guy's so desperate to change the subject about the incompetence of the OPD in news story after news story. Unconscionable!?! This coming from a police department that was about to go into an unprecedented federal receivership for its failure to reform; not to mention a police department seared with a global reputation for brutality, racism, and excessive means; and whose fundamental miscalculations and mismanagement of the response to Occupy cost the city millions of dollars.

Minor Physical Rearrangement

by hol＠gaskill.com

Hi Folks, First off, I'm glad we have so many people who are proactive in generating a response to the state-sponsored dumbfuckery. I have enjoyed the lively discussion since opening my inbox :) In more mundane news, last night Jack and I organized the shop area of sudo room in preparation for some CNC milling, and in the process I went kind of crazy rearranging things in and adjacent to the shop. I prioritized respecting other active projects over achieving ship-shape of course, and I hope I didn't disturb anybody's ongoing projects or create off-nominal feng-shui in the process. Below is an approximate change log SHOP AREA (2 benches, 2 coffee tables, 1 chair) -set up the CNC equipment in compact and functional configuration -constructed arm to hang CNC motor and store clamps -moved all corded tools to a quad-milk crate cubby (including heat gun) -cut a hole in one workbench for cords to concentrate cordless tool battery charging station -moved soldering irons over to window area for proper ventilation (where is the solder? and the solder flux? i brought a big tub of flux in a while back) -moved the folding typewriter stand to the bike area for better tool access there -rearranged various tools to be more compact -designated a jar for drill bits and driver bits -designated a bin for all fasteners/drywall anchors etc -labeled the misc hardware bucket -concentrated safety equipment in one area to do: get hooks for pegboard, hang more tools and trace outlines, add more hearing protection to safety equip, more lasers, more metal, 3D print a shop vac nozzle that mounts to the spindle head instead of clamping thank you for all those who constructed all the benches! i was all talk on that project... BIKE & MISC PROJECT AREA (1 bench, 1 bike stand, 1 typewriter stand) -moved some bike stuff onto typewriter stand for easier access -concentrated induction metallurgy equipment neatly under bench -assembled n-1 soldering irons, still need to hack a fan to exhaust out window during heavy soldering -moved coffee roaster and coffee machine to top of big fridge, heat gun to corded tools area, tripod to camera area in storage hallway to do: add ventilation and soldering consumables area, maybe add a shelf for more project storage, overhead/hanging storage for bulkier future bike components major to-do: construct a tower for brewing/storing beer equipment??? LONG TABLE -removed trash... -sorted some misc hardware -moved bag of electronic components to bookshelf next to other bag of electronic components -moved some stuff to upper tier to clear table -put one soldering iron by the oscilloscope for light/quick soldering not requiring ventilation to do: chain more power strips together for infinite energy Also moved the 2 desks in the back corner toward the wall just to assist in flow around long table...didn't seem like the optimum solution but both are still sittable. Also QR'd the shit out of various objects. I hope I didn't cause anyone a headache searching for stuff, I just wanted to get the shop in usable condition and wound up going into a whirlwind figuring it would be good to have the place a little more organized prior to art murmur. Cheers, Hol
