[Noisebridge-discuss] Thanks for hosting, kitchen warnings, and questions

[Mark Ellis]

"(1) How does one move the power drops along the power rails?  Is  
there a
howto somewhere?"

There's a T shaped hook inside the rail that connects to the power  
rails inside. To move the drop simply twist the box 90 degrees either  
direction and pull down once the top of the T matches with the slot.  
Then reverse those steps elsewhere on the rail. I'm not exactly sure  
if there's any markers showing which way the box should be facing when  
properly installed so just remember how you took it out and put it  
back the same way. That or look at the other power drops around you.  
Hope this helps and wasn't terribly confusing.
