I'm all in on augmented reality. I'm still thinking a lot about light
projection.
I have been busy, haven't had time to stop by. Will try to make it to
hardware hack night Tuesdays!
One positive change is that I've been minimizing as much as possible the
presentations I've had to look at this week. I think I just saw too many.
Another thing is, I'd like to come to sudoroom and focus entirely on
hacking. I feel like I was on that track, but really cool people would
distract me and try to get me into that the past few weeks.

That's so sweet, Julie!
And thanks for the prompt Romy <3
Work-related, I'm deep into two things in particular at the moment: 1)
streamlining our i18n (internationalization) process for both web and
app repositories (using Weblate and an eclectic assemblage of bash
scripts + translate toolkit); and 2) better streamlining comms processes
between devs, outreach partners, UI/UX partners, and funders. Fun times!
FYI our core projects include https://censorship.no,
https://ouinet.work, and https://ouisync.net.
In personal time, been taking a UX design course from Google cuz I'm
getting exhausted from project + product management in our understaffed
org and would like to work more closely with user feedback + product
design, researching & planning our outdoor kitchen DIY build, gardening
& automation, and iterating on the ideal tech nomad travel bag :)

Today I set up a voice-over-IP line for the first time for work. I even got
a vanity toll-free number. I learned that you can use something called a
"softphone" (i guess software phone?) with your VOIP service, and the
softphone can be an app on whatever device you currently have. I ended up
using Zoiper for iOS, "registering" my SIP (I don't know what SIP stands
for still), and I was able to make a few test calls! That was thrilling
lol. BUT a few hours later, we tried to call into the number, and I didn't
get a push notification, so I don't know if this is a viable alternative
for my work (a retail business). Soon I'll make recordings and a phone
tree! Even if we don't end up using it, it was fun to learn.
Just now, I turned on my reMarkable (1) tablet for the first time in
months, and it would connect to wifi but not sync nor get updates. I had to
ssh into the tablet and reset the clock. I followed this great resource:
https://remarkable.jms1.info/info/clock.html This was my first time sshing
into my reMarkable! it was ... remarkably easy? lol
So I did a little bit of hacking today! Glad to hear little project updates
from yall too =)

OMG yay, I set up some VOIP phones a while ago on onsip.com to call each
other, it's free but apparently getting actual POTS numbers is expensive. But
they can call each other and even do voice calls!
I also setup a VOIP number for sudoroom using voip.ms on advice from Sean, and
now we have a phone in sudoroom!
the number is I HACK AT 386 and i just tested it and it's working. It's a
VOIP phone that a new member (Nicholas?) did some major surgery on to replace
the hangup button...after Thomas operated on it to replace the earpiece!
did you know that Sudoroom recently got a Beam Pro telepresence robot?
https://telepresencerobots.com/robots/suitable-technologies-beam-pro/
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Beamrobot
Unfortunately the software on it is from 2020 and doesn't connect to any
servers...i filed a support ticket with Blue Ocean Robotics which claims to
have taken over support for these things, but it was just a Jira ticket plugin
and I haven't heard back from them so I'm guessing we're on our own.
But it's an I3 CPU and the motorized base is just plugged in over USB, so if
we can pick apart the software they were using we can make our own interface!

Oh!!! I have a 90s transparent phone (the kind with rainbow everything
inside) that half works! I got it on ebay like 6 years ago! Could I ask
Thomas how they replaced the earpiece? When I use my 90s phone, it rings,
and when I pick up and speak, the other person can hear me (so I know the
mic works and the phone is transmitting), but I can't hear anything. So it
probably needs a new earpiece too! My dream is to set up this 90s phone to
use as the official shop phone (I work at a retro video game store lol),
but i'll need an "ATA" (analog to... something? converter) to get VOIP onto
the analog phone and I still haven't researched those. Maybe Sudoroom has
an extra ATA lying around? Is that what's used to get onto the phone at
Sudoroom? What physical phones are you using for the onsip stuff (that can
only call each other, right?), and for the voip.ms phone?
TELEPRESENCE ROBOT
ok i have another dream now. I have a Jibo because I contributed to its
Indiegogo campaign in like 2013. It was an amazing idea that got totally
killed by voice assistants going mainstream. Jibo's servers are down now. I
don't know if it can still dance, but the dances are mind-bogglingly cute.
We need to make a fake server for it too. Anyway maybe the telepresence
robot can have a friend?
Haha, what if we made it so that an incoming caller could press 3 on their
dialpad and that would make the telepresence robot rotate right or make
jibo dance or something hahaha

New subject: telepresence robot
The beam company emailed me back and sent these instructions for getting
our BeamPro telepresence robot working again!
https://suitabletech.com/support/helpcenter/errors-full-listing/2472-beam-e…
basically there's an SD card in the back of its brain and we need to put a
new image on there, and then put it on the wifi and it should set itself up!

New subject: telepresence robot
tonight Nicholas updated the firmware in the BeamPro telepresence robot, and
soon the company that runs them will put this one back on their network and
then people will be able to virtually drive around sudoroom from anywhere!
also, i realizd that the spot welder is assembled incorrectly - the aluminum
piece that clamps the upper electrode bar in place is facing the wrong way.
Also one of the four bolts that hold that piece is broken off.
If anyone wants to tune up the spot welder by taking that part apart and
reassembling it correctly (after removing the broken bolt) let me know and
i'll guide you through it and work with you on it.
Then we can use the spot welder to weld the broken bandsaw blade back
together.
And we can use the induction heater to anneal it...

The beam company emailed me back and sent these
instructions for getting
our BeamPro telepresence robot working again!

basically there's an SD card in the back of its brain and we need to put a
new image on there, and then put it on the wifi and it should set itself up!

Oh!!! I have a 90s transparent phone (the kind
with rainbow everything
inside) that half works! I got it on ebay like 6 years ago! Could I ask
Thomas how they replaced the earpiece? When I use my 90s phone, it rings,
and when I pick up and speak, the other person can hear me (so I know the
mic works and the phone is transmitting), but I can't hear anything. So it
probably needs a new earpiece too! My dream is to set up this 90s phone to
use as the official shop phone (I work at a retro video game store lol),
but i'll need an "ATA" (analog to... something? converter) to get VOIP
onto
the analog phone and I still haven't researched those. Maybe Sudoroom has
an extra ATA lying around? Is that what's used to get onto the phone at
Sudoroom? What physical phones are you using for the onsip stuff (that can
only call each other, right?), and for the voip.ms phone?
TELEPRESENCE ROBOT
ok i have another dream now. I have a Jibo because I contributed to its
Indiegogo campaign in like 2013. It was an amazing idea that got totally
killed by voice assistants going mainstream. Jibo's servers are down now. I
don't know if it can still dance, but the dances are mind-bogglingly cute.
We need to make a fake server for it too. Anyway maybe the telepresence
robot can have a friend?
Haha, what if we made it so that an incoming caller could press 3 on their
dialpad and that would make the telepresence robot rotate right or make
jibo dance or something hahaha

OMG yay, I set up some VOIP phones a while ago on
onsip.com to call each
other, it's free but apparently getting actual POTS numbers is
expensive. But
they can call each other and even do voice calls!
I also setup a VOIP number for sudoroom using voip.ms on advice from
Sean, and
now we have a phone in sudoroom!
the number is I HACK AT 386 and i just tested it and it's working. It's a
VOIP phone that a new member (Nicholas?) did some major surgery on to
replace
the hangup button...after Thomas operated on it to replace the earpiece!
did you know that Sudoroom recently got a Beam Pro telepresence robot?
https://telepresencerobots.com/robots/suitable-technologies-beam-pro/
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Beamrobot
Unfortunately the software on it is from 2020 and doesn't connect to any
servers...i filed a support ticket with Blue Ocean Robotics which claims
to
have taken over support for these things, but it was just a Jira ticket
plugin
and I haven't heard back from them so I'm guessing we're on our own.
But it's an I3 CPU and the motorized base is just plugged in over USB, so
if
we can pick apart the software they were using we can make our own
interface!

Today I set up a voice-over-IP line for the first
time for work. I even
got
a vanity toll-free number. I learned that you can
use something called a
"softphone" (i guess software phone?) with your VOIP service, and the
softphone can be an app on whatever device you currently have. I ended
up
using Zoiper for iOS, "registering" my
SIP (I don't know what SIP stands
for still), and I was able to make a few test calls! That was thrilling
lol. BUT a few hours later, we tried to call into the number, and I
didn't
get a push notification, so I don't know if
this is a viable alternative
for my work (a retail business). Soon I'll make recordings and a phone
tree! Even if we don't end up using it, it was fun to learn.
Just now, I turned on my reMarkable (1) tablet for the first time in
months, and it would connect to wifi but not sync nor get updates. I
had to
ssh into the tablet and reset the clock. I
followed this great resource:
https://remarkable.jms1.info/info/clock.html This was my first time
sshing
into my reMarkable! it was ... remarkably easy?
lol
So I did a little bit of hacking today! Glad to hear little project
updates
from yall too =)
