that's a neat little device, but don't forget that our 3d printers can do
the same stuff and they're already built and sitting there!
you can attach a marker to the head of one of our 3d printers and use it
to write stuff, just like the piccolo does, except it will be way more
accurate. Maybe a little slower but not necessarily.
also we have a bunch of those smaller 3d printers from "3d systems" that
were donated, and people should start playing with them once we get the
space back put together.

Tiny CNC robot does tiny things in video… including watercolor!
last night several of us used human power to move the robot from its
pallet to its new home, where it is bolted to the floor.
http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/pix/boltedin.jpg
it is parked pointing straight up, so it doesn't take up extra space when
it is not being used. The control cabinet has been moved to the place
where the motorized stock saw is in this picture, in the upper left of the
frame. All the cables and stuff have been moved too, but i haven't
finished neatly arranging them or connecting everything up.
I intend to put big hooks on the wall behind, and hang the spare cables
there, out of the way.
If you are a robot hacker, know that the robot is disconnected for the
moment until a little more work is done to reconnect it and power it.
If you want to help, please run a length of CAT5 network cable (with ends
crimped on) from the server rack to the robot YASNAC. This cable will
carry RS-232 signals from the space.local sudo gateway computer to the
YASNAC. We will be using that computer instead of the 3d printer computer
as our serial interface, if there are no objections.

Hi all I'm desperately in need of one more volunteer for tonight's rental -
can anyone who hasn't already committed please come by and do Omni a solid?
If all you can do is late aft/early part of the evening, that's cool to -
2 more volunteers would be even better :)
Love,
David
All,
I'm hoping someone(s) can help:
- We need to have the scaffolding down, the ballroom and mezzanine mopped
and all it's bathrooms super dooper clean before 4pm tomorrow (Sunday) for
the $3K afternoon/evening event that goes til 10.
- I need one other person aside from Chris Bee to help keep track of bikes
that will be parked inside in The cafe & Gabriela's area. 4-10pm
- Ben, Joe and I will also volunteer at the event outside as 'neighborhood
ambassadors'
- Although they offered to pay bike parkers/watchers directly, that has
been clarified and all $ is going to Omni - not to worry.
I am hoping that those organizing Alette can help clean up after their
event - with 1.5 hands I am sort of not very efficient right now -
Can people show up at 2pm to help with this? That'd be really great -
David

Turns out my parents are only visiting for 4 days, so I shouldn't have
volunteered myself to work as an outdoor watch tomorrow. I'm really sorry
about this :( Is anyone else available to be around tomorrow evening?

November 8 is Aaron Swartz Day (Aaron's birthday) (
http://www.aaronswartzday.org) and folks are hosting hackathons in many
cities. I knew Aaron when he was a kid helping with RSS and other
protocols. A more recent friend of his, Lisa Rein, asked me if Sudo Room
would host the Sunday part (9 Nov) of the San Francisco hackathon. So...
1. Are you interested in attending? In hosting/facilitating?
2. Availability/use of Sudo's and Omni commons spaces for hackathon
purposes? On Sunday I see "Phat Beets is going to have an event to
highlight their youth program! They will need 4 hours in the ballroom (yet
to be set in stone). They are paying to rent the space." Is this a conflict?

3. Is our network ready for a few dozen concurrent demanding users? All of
the building or just some parts?
4. Ideas for food sponsors for the event?

P.S. Aaron Swartz was an American computer programmer, writer, political
organizer and Internet Hacktivist. He died last year. If you use creative
commons art, blogs and feeds, markdown, Reddit, or open data, a bit of
Aaron lives on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz
