That 's a good point, but I don 't know if we
can afford anything like that. We could use temporary and easy solutions like extension
cords that get unplugged after use. If someone could help us out professionally, it would
be a good all around kind of thing.
In the meantime, I think it would be smart if we dealt
with the following:Make-shift cables and stuff hanging around the space with exposed
caps(Copper-oxide, dust, moisture and things like beading can cause a fault-arc on our ,
untreated, wood floor or other fuel).
Ground everything out. Not only will we get 'dirty ' signal, without grounding
we will have an increased risk of fire for a couple of reasons(i think arcing is
#1).Separate food, water, chemicals and other products from electronics.
Only use extension cords temporarily. Read the ratings on our power-strips to see if they
can handle the load we are using.Avoid plugging high-drain devices into power-strips that
don 't meet the recommended load.
Secondary considerations for changing our behavior include:
Tripping over wires, which can hurt humans and gearPotential for
electrocutionAesthetically unpleasingGets in the way of workI 'm willing to donate
$100 extra to the space for a proper power-conditioner, and to help ground things out, but
these are the things I could think of that would imply liability on our part as a group.
These are just suggestions, but I think they are good
ones.

Do we have access to the electrical panel? Are there
empty breaker spaces in it? It isn 't too hard to run conduit on the walls with
outlet boxes, and then have a licensed electrician come and hook up the end to the breaker
panel.

Hello Fellow Sudo People,
This is a good article about why we shouldn 't daisy-chain things in the space. Any
suggestions on a work-around is appreciated. I am offering to help hack this problem.
