Torrie,

Thanks for the compliment!

It is the first time in my life that anybody has called me a "hacker", let
alone an excellent one.

And, I am very happy to have met you and learn of your talents and areas of
expertise.

I will continue to my efforts to be an engaged, motivated, and positive
warm body at SH.

Philip

Andrew,

Thanks for the complimentary introduction via Discuss List.  Looking
forward to completing the application process and getting on with my
projects and sharing my experiences and knowledge with others at SH.

If any of the voting members have questions regarding my membership
application, please continue the discussion in this thread.  I will do my
best to provide satisfying answers.

In your spare time, if you are so inclined, please correct the spelling of
my last name to show one less vowel.  There is no "i" in my last name, as
shown in the subject line.  Sorry to be picky, but it is in my nature to
want my name spelled correctly.

Until later,

Philip

It will be open by 6pm, but since its a Tuesday, its likely that others might 
be there at an earlier time. Check the open sign at live.synhak.org, or our 
front door's twitter at twitter.com/synhak. The webcam isn't working yet since 
I forgot to take home the slip of paper that Craig wrote our IP address on due 
to me not yet having my phone configured with the AWS security tokens to login 
and update our DNS :(

My older phone that does have the tokens is in my bag and ready to go to the 
space tonight so I can set Craig up with a proper AWS account so that kind of 
stuff doesn't rely on me again. I'll also configure my tablet to have the same 
tokens for redundancy.

That'd be the 10 line on the corner of Howard and North. Depending if you're 
heading inbound or outbound, you'd either get off a block up Howard, or across 
the corner on the opposite side of Howard.

Torrie -

What time does the building open for the meeting tonight?

I am coming down on the bus and will be walking from wherever the bus stops
to the building.

Trying to plan my arrival so that when I get there I can come inside rather
than begin the transition from human to popsicle outside in the snow.

Yes, I am dragging two baigs of stuff to donate to SH, as discussed in a
slew of previous messages with a small herd of SH members, you included.

Looking forward to the visit, meeting the people, checking out the facility.

See you in a few hours.

Thats something I want. The current g-code viewer in Repetier-Host is murky at 
best, and I'm very interested in developing a replacement user interface. I'd 
be up for helping out with that. Some time ago I was trying to figure out why 
our temperatures were reported as being consistently off, so I poured over the 
Marlin code for a few days.  As a result, I'm quite familiar with it. I came 
to the conclusion that we need a high quality thermocouple to measure and 
verify the temperature tables.

Thanks for considering my application. A little more detail about my
background and interests:

In 1970 I was trained by the Army to operate a computer with 500 words of
(core) memory. I learned to program the thing by studying the programs (on
punched cards) and experimenting. The computer had a large bank of lights
to display the contents of memory, and I wrote a program that scrolled
subversive messages (e.g. FTA  FTA  FTA...) across those lights.

In 1976 I taught myself homogeneous coordinates and did graphics on a
vector display (Evans & Sutherland), mostly representing curves and
surfaces of interest to mathematicians.

In 1984 I went to work at Rockwell International where I wrote software for
controlling robots and other kinematic linkages. When Rockwell bought
Allen-Bradley, I spent some time programming their PLCs.

Now I'm retired and looking for some technical activity and collaboration.
I would like to write an emulator for the Marlin firmware of your 3d
printer, but my interests might also take me elsewhere.

Thanks again for considering my application.

2013-05-08 Thread Persa Zula
Hey Hackers,

If you don't mind, next meeting works for me as a membership review.

Bio:

I'm a web developer and farmer (a hacker of both technology and common
things) and believe in building community.
As such, I'm taking time this year to start up & run Code for Summit
County (http://codeforsummitcounty.org), a volunteer-driven organization
dedicated to using / creating open data and open data policies in our
region. I'm also actively organizing HackNEO (http://hackNEO.org), a
two-day event where community members, developers, and designers come
together to build community solutions using open data. One of the data
challenges is building a regional park system mapping application, based
on the experiences and technology the CLE Metroparks has used to build
theirs. It's an awesome opportunity to open source a local codebase and
get more parks on-board. I'd love for all SYNHAK members to come if they
can :)  When I'm not busy working, or volunteering to work more, I grow
food, preserve food, ferment food, eat food... I think I like food.

In short: If it has to do with food or coding or community, count me in.
If it has to do with all three (like this project I worked on
http://localfoodsystems.org) then I'll be very, very excited.

Hope to meet you all soon,
Persa Zula


--

Greetings discuss list followers!
  This email is to notify you all of a new membership application.
announced at last nights meeting Persa Zula, who leads code for summit
county wishes to become a member.  She has her two sponsers and has been
at
the space quite often lately. So let is know your opinions so we can
vote
accordingly.

Persa, if you could reply with the date you wish to have your
application
voted on, and perhaps a short Bio for those who haven't met you. That
would
be great.

Thank you for your time
Andrew
