i'm not sure if it counts as 'indirect' to a purist, but i've rigged
things by hanging cardboard under the fixture and painting them
silver. this wouldn't work so well w/ a really low ceiling though (we
had issues of people bashing into them and causing all sorts of fun from
the dropped ceiling tiles).

sorry, i was trying to point out that the 'dynamic' nature of things at
noisebridge (at least my feeling of it) makes 'sense' a little
trickier. adding switches (what we did) ended up being a pain when stuff
moved around/people joined.

ok.

gotcha. the current ~1000 seemed too small (at least during the eagle
thing w/ the python group going at the same time), but i've never gotten
a feel for how spaces scale and just how much nature abhors a vaccum.
