Hello SUDO,
I'm sorry to announce that the Foreclosure is moving forward and will have
~ 90 days to come up with around 1 million dollars or the building can be
sold.
- We will keep the ball rolling with our conversations with CAST to
potentially come up with the needed funds
- We will of course be looking into any other funding options, ideas are
always welcome
Best
William
*Below is correspondence and some notes from our Lawyer: *
*Just wanted to let you know that the Mulberry Trust will be proceeding
with foreclosing on the property. A new trustee will be taking over the
work and proceed with the foreclosure. Mulberry Trust also wanted to let
you know that they'll be adding a late fee of $283.90 to the principal
since Omni didn't make a payment for April. Once the foreclosure is filed,
they won't be able to accept any further payments. It's truly unfortunate
that this happened but the MT did not have any other choice given the
circumstances, and it does not look like there will be an assignment of the
note to another individual or entity. *
*Below is an email I sent you previously regarding the timeline and Omni's
right to pay the debt even after foreclosure begins. Note that the longer
you wait, the more legal incurred by lender Omni will have to pay. Let me
know if there's any way I can help.*
*----*
*If they proceed as quickly as possible, they can schedule a*
*foreclosure sale no sooner than 90 days after the date on which theyrecord
a notice of default. Because the loan is a commercial loan, itis on a fast
timeline.1. They have to give you notice of recording the notice of
default.After the notice of default is recorded, the lender has to mail,
post,record and publish a notice of sale.Omni has a right to pay the debt
up to 5 business days before theforeclosure sale date. (See Civil Code
Section 2924c(e). The dateis extended in various ways if the foreclosure
sale doesn't happen.*
Speaking to folks at Noisebridge, but I'm thinking of starting a learning
how to learn subgroup at SudoRoom.
This would include topics such as:
- Switching back to analog for notetaking and learning
- Mixing analog notes and ebooks
- doing digital detox on your laptops and phones and tablets so that they
become learning devices instead of consumption devices
- Creating a picture of new technologies like AI which seem to be
constantly changing
I'm not sure what a good time to meet for this would be... I'm guessing
Tuesday? I am not sure I can come in this week though! I have job
interviews. But I think cross meeting between SudoRoom, Noisebridge and
other spaces is ideal!

*Hi All,*
*I'm trying to hire someone to create a website where I can put up my
recently-completed Trump satire -- updated for 2024. (And/or put it on
Substack which I can't figure out how to do either.) I will offer it for
free and ask for donations at the end. Happy to pay you whatever is
required. Prefer a fellow Trump-hater (but what cognizant person isn't?).*
*You can contact me at my more private email (preferred)
IraBrightman900(a)yahoo.com <IraBrightman900(a)yahoo.com> or if you must by
return email here. *

*This spoof of the Trump presidency is still a hysterical reminder of the
danger that the former president posed, and that his surrogates are still
out there. Though this book is very funny, it also points out that Trump
really isn’t a laughing matter.*

*There’s a lot of Trump humor out there, but Ira’s stands out because it’s
clever, and unique (the “Meet [insert dictator/world leader]” sections were
my favorite), and just a delight to read. Also, if you don’t laugh at Ira’s
“suggestions” to Trump for cabinet members, it’s probably because you’re
unconscious or wearing Q-anon pajamas. *

There appears to be malware generating pop ups infecting the site.
I'm sure that someone at Sudo will know exactly what bugspray to use,
thanks.

Last week was pretty great!
- I held down the fort and explored web-based virtual reality projects
during the women and nonbinary hack and do whatever nights. In the middle
of job searching so can't do much more but I plan a workshop on Blender +
web virtual reality between all headsets.
Tuesday hacker night
Continues to be cool. I went and haven't had time to mess with the robot,
but Jake is making progress. Had a dream of one day hooking up a virtual
reality headset with a game controller to the robot so that people with a
Quest or VisionPro could view the space with their headsets and interact
with people.
Maybe there's a cheaper open source way to do it with webcams. That would
be cool! Might be a future project.
More people coming to the space that I met at Augmented reality hackathons.
It's cool! Hope we can get more artsy people in too.
It's just great to be able to socialize and talk in the space. While we do
talk start-up shop talk, it's nice to have a space where you're not
pressured to monetize by VCs.
The last sessions at SudoRoom have been fun, I had time to explore and
hack. While it's nice to see presentations by outside people, it's nice to
return to the roots of sudoroom, which is using it as a hackerspace.
For orientation maybe we can have "here's how to contribute to the wiki"
We had a nice session two weeks back where many people expressed interest
in using Blender. So a "Blender for noobies" event.
The MADE game museum in Old oakland has meetups wednesdays for digital
creators. Would like to involve them with SudoRomo, especially around light
projectors Just don't have time lately.
Women who code has disbanded, which leaves a big spaces for people who want
to meet. Fortunately and unfortunately most women's groups revolve around
people who are looking for a job =P While I'm an idealist and want to have
spaces for people who love programming for the fun of it (long term I think
these people are also more employable) will probably plan some "get a job"
leetcode heck meetups for the women and non binary night.
Some not so fun stuff:
There are a number of VC-funded "third space" "hackerspaces" popping up in
San Francisco mostly. They are great, but I've noticed some of them are
planting people in SudoRoom sometimes to get them to go to those for profit
spaces. It's a strong hunch I believe to be true, but if you are doing so,
please be transparent.
Have had encounters with people who come to hackerspaces (they won't be
named) using it as a dating service. FYI sudoroom and Noisebridge are not
dating services for guys desperate to have a girlfriend. I have yet to meet
a cool woman who comes to hackerspaces who is hot to date guys there.
Dating apps are great for that kind of thing, and there are speed-dating
meetups in the city.
