This is a reminder that tonight is Sudo Room's weekly party hangout from
8-9, in person and at http://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles. We'll
share projects and discuss general business, like the internet service
change.
Reply to this message to agendize anything on mind.
Cheers,
Andy
Hey there!
I'm Ana and I'm on a vacation in the Bay Area until the 25th. I'm thinking
about spending time at SudoRoom every now and then, especially to learn
more about the SudoMesh project. I tried finding something akin to
README.MD on the project's Github but I couldn't find it, so maybe I'll
just hang out at the Sudo lair :D ..I'd like to come to the hardware hack
night next week, but today I have dinner around those times.
If I ring the door at any time of the day, any day, how likely is …
[View More]there to
be a member who can open it for me? Is there a chat room dedicated to
SudoMesh project?
Thanks!
Ana

I talked with Monkeybrains and apparently we can get internet from them! It
will be much better than what we have now, and our politics and goals are very
aligned.
from their website:
https://www.monkeybrains.net/
"Monkeybrains is a San Francisco based ISP founded by Rudy Rucker and Alex
Menendez in 1998. With their crew of like-minded renegades, these two are
bringing affordable, hassle-free, month-to-month internet service to the
residents and businesses of San Francisco. Monkeybrains …
[View More]customers appreciate
our incredible speed-to-cost ratio and our ability to install quickly, with
minimal wait time from lead to install.
In the late 90's Monkeybrains started out as a dial-up ISP running out of a
warehouse in San Francisco. We ran the whole thing with a few desktop
computers connected to a bunch of modems. In the early 2000s we moved
operations to the datacenter and began offering web hosting and collocation
services. In 2009 Monkeybrains dramatically expanded the ISP by offering
wireless Internet access. We have come a long way since those dial-up days!
Monkeybrains now operates a hybrid network of fiber optic and high capacity
wireless links servicing over 20,000 locations with over 100 new locations
coming online every week. With every installation, we push the limits of
available technology and over-deliver bandwidth. We took this approach during
a recent campaign where Monkeybrains delivered 300Mbps+ to approved residents
of San Francisco using equipment only previously seen on commercial buildings.
Our focus within San Francisco has enabled us to have a personal relationship
with the individuals, businesses and communities we serve. In addition to our
personal approach to service and support, Monkeybrains takes a progressive
stance on Net Neutrality and we believe the Internet should be secure,
unbiased and available to all! View our customer map to see if we are
available in your area."
Does anyone know who we have internet service with now, how much we pay, and
whether there's a penalty for cancelling after we get service with
Monkeybrains?
Does anyone have questions or objections to Omni switching over?

Hey folks!
At a recent meeting we agreed to change the meeting schedule back to how it
used to be: now, general meetings are on the first Wednesday of each month,
and all other Wednesdays are parties. You can still bring up any business
at a party, but the change is meant to allow people to know which meetings
are likely to be most active.
I will be at Sudoroom for tonight‘s party and encourage anyone to stop by
in person or online. The next real meeting will be the first Wednesday of
March. …
[View More]The agenda for tonight‘s party is hang out and share projects, and
discuss a new calendar plug-in I’m testing. If you wanna add anything else
this agenda, reply below!
Here is the calendar I’m testing. The big differences are that it’s much
easier to make events in this plug-in, and anyone can sync the calendar to
Google calendars or icalendar. Thoughts?

I attended my first thursday javascript session and everyone agreed to
rename it Progrmaming! everything! everywhere! all at once!
I stuck Michelle Yeoh on the flyer if that's ok (I don't want to make stuff
too commercial but her hot dog fingers and the movie reminded us that stuff
is always perpetually changing)
Last session we talked about using chatGPT. Even though it's trendy it was
a cool debate, and someone used it to create a learning curriculum for
learning programming, and even had …
[View More]it construct lessons plans that he was
tweaking.
The conversation got a little spicy we talked about if chat gpt would
replace teachers (some people thought it would, some though it wouldn't.).
The next one is next Thursday!

i'm looking for a connector (with wires already on it ideally but i'll take
the kit if that's what's available) like this:
https://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/sd/436450800_sd.pdf
number 43645-0800 which is the eight-pin connector but i also happen to need
two of the two-pin ones, although those are less of a problem for me right
now.
I'm talking about the "plug" end which has holes for metal pins to stick into,
from a connector that mounts on a board. I need the end that goes on wires.
thank you!
