Hi fellow sudoers,
Does anyone have a copy of Sudo's most recent lease with omni?
This is being asked in order to get all our paperwork in a row for
new/cheaper insurance and for review by potential lenders -
The most recent lease w/ sudo that I could find
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KgimyxNSZ5K_ipeWBBYGDPPIH6JYi6UZ/view?usp=…>
is c.2016 w/ OOC (rather than OC), and I believe there normally would have
been about two more rounds of leases since that time -
If someone knows whether a more recent lease exists, or can provide a copy,
that'd be super great -
Thank you,
David
Hi CCL & Sudo,
1. On Monday 10/11, CCL Lab Manager Dave A. is scheduled to carefully clean
the furnace mounted overhead on CCL’s north wall, in order to reduce the
potential future disturbance of excessive dust during planned furnace
maintenance. Please contact David A. (cc’d) for more info or to assist.
2. Following Dave’s work on 10/11, two maintenance tasks are projected to
be undertaken sometime this week.
The exact day and time for each task is not yet known, and it is unlikely
we will get more than one day’s advance notice, which will be promptly
passed on to CCL / Sudo as soon as received.
- Electrical: Relocating the space heater’s on/off switch from highish up
in the BSL, to a more accessible height near the north doorway into
CCL/Sudo room, where it will be replaced with a timer switch. This work is
not anticipated to precipitate an excessive disturbance of dust, and should
not impact electrical service to this room. However, the electrician will
be working in this area, likely on a ladder, which may temporarily block
access to some of the freezers et al in CCL’s NE area, for approximately
<2h (barring unforeseen circumstances).
- Furnace:
The blower (and air filter) for the furnace in this room is due to be
replaced by an HVAC professional. With the area cleaned in advance per item
1 above, it is not anticipated to involve the disturbance of excessive
dust. It is not anticipated that this work will impact electrical service
to CCL. The work will involve the placement of a large ladder below /
adjacent to this furnace, impacting access to cabinets & storage below the
furnace.
To reduce Omni’s labor costs, I would ask CCL/Sudo members to please allow
these technicians the elbow room needed to safely complete their work with
a minimum of conversation, barring of course any safety concerns. Rather,
if anyone has any questions about the above planned work, as always please
feel free to contact me directly at any time.
Many thanks everyone,
David // 415-430-8362
Hi all,
Per prior discussion, electrical maintenance will be conducted to increase
the number of available receptacles in the southeast portion of sudo room,
near sudo's fridge & stairs down to basement, in order to remove
life-safety hazards presented by excessive extension cords / power strips
in this location under/adjacent to an unrated mezzanine etc. This work is
now planned for *Monday 10/18 in the AM.*
This work will likely require temporarily de-powering one or more circuits
to Sudo Room presently feeding receptacles in this particular area and
along portions of the south wall.
Please ensure all steps are taken to save work and safely depower equipment
in this area prior to this work, *or provide me with instruction to safely
do these things*, *including the sudo mesh cage. This work may impact
internet access within the building while work is being undertaken.* The
maintenance window is not planned to last longer than a single day.
'Small' one-off jobs like this can be difficult to affordably schedule well
in advance, as they are typically subject to electricians' squeezing in the
work around bigger jobs they have elsewhere. Therefore, in most cases we
are unlikely to get more than ~2 days advance notice as in this case.
Separately, on Sunday 10/17, an electrical assessment will be undertaken to
see how providing more compliant power to the ad-hoc / DIY exhaust fan on
sudo's roof (south roof area of back room) could be accomplished. Providing
more permanent electrical power to this fan will not necessarily be
undertaken sunday, but it is possible. Assessing / addressing the roof fan
issue should not directly impact power to sudo or ccl on Sunday, but if and
when this becomes required, I will notice sudo and ccl.
Thanks to everyone for bearing with these ongoing life-safety improvements
to the building and please hit me up with any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
David // 415-430-8362

Tonight at Sudoroom we had hardware hacking tuesdays.
A new hacker showed up and helped hook up the exhaust for the big red laser cutter!
but we were unable to set it up because the desktop computer nearby is gone.
Does anyone know how to set up software to use the laser cutter? I made a new
desktop computer over at the 3D printer desk, and I can make another one for
the laser cutter if we can't figure out what happened to the old one.

Hi folks,
Is this happening tomorrow? What time? I'd like to drop by with my
project, but don't have a keycard so I can only come when other folks are
around.
Thanks,
Anca.

I'm not sure if this will send, my name is Lovi and I'm typing from Eddy's
machine. I'm here at the Sudo room and want to join but no one has been
around. I was told about this space by the Hackitorium, and I was given a
tour by Dane. I am here all afternoon working on processing javascript
(p5) and am on discord. I intend to be here all day. Hoping other people
show up for the meeting. I don't think the doorbell is working however, it
seems missing since the first day I was here.
Lovi on Eddy's machine.
there's a desktop computer under the table on the east side of the room with a
white sticker on it labeled "do not hack, project: jan (510) 434-8806"
I called the number but got no answer, I'm just going through stuff in pseudo
room and trying to get rid of things that are not useful or don't belong. Does
anybody know what this computer is about?
over the years I have encountered projects in hacker spaces with minimal
information on the labels, no date, so I try to figure out these mysteries. A
few years ago there was somebody who set up some server on the rack that was
doing who knows what...
