Hi all,<br><br><br>I'm planning to skip my regular Homes Not Jails meeting this Tuesday in order to come to the member meeting here at NoiseBridge. I've been hanging out for a while now, but haven't properly introduced myself to many of the regulars.<br>
<br>Also, I propose the name "Hackitorium" for the main open space area to the right when you walk in. I came up with it the other night as I was writing a journal entry / freeform sociological sketch of the space and its denizens.<br>
<br>If I don't find a ride up to Portland for Thanksgiving, I may be around.<br><br><br>T0NY L0NGSHANKS<br><br>"If you got time to be slackin', you got time to be hackin'" <br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

re the "dirty shop" or whatever you'd like to call it,<br>
seems to me this is the source of the most offensive noise<br>
as well as some detritus such as sawdust and filings.<br>
i'd like to suggest a couple of possible improvements:<br>
* some kind of sound baffling immediately around the most<br>
noisy tools (radial arm saw, mainly) and possibly above<br>
the existing walls (note there are fire code regulations<br>
regarding the sprinkler system, it also might not be worth<br>
the effort, given the large doorways...).<br>
* some kind of containment of sawdust and filings, maybe<br>
one or two big paint tarps that can be drawn around a work<br>
area to make an erzatz booth (might help reduce sound a<br>
tiny bit, too).<br>
<br>
it would be nice to bring electricity out of the<br>
dedicated sub-panel along the north and east walls, too,<br>
but that may be an unrelated topic.<br>
