New list active. It's supposed to be 757labs at 757labs.com, but well, I'll 
fix that later. hrgeeks box isn't accepting for 757labs.com and no time to 
troubleshoot it yet.

New stuff:

Got security camera cables (2 x 50')

On order from monoprice:
  1 plasma mount
  1 projector mount
  2 6-hole faceplates
  3 4-hole faceplates
  12 white cat5e jacks
  4 yellow cat5e jacks (for AMX)
  6 blank inserts

Working to get Cyclades power boxes, AMX touchscreens, and magstripe 
reader door proxcard shit. There was a board that ended @ $50, and it 
didn't get bought, and it's what we need. So hopefully dude comes around.

There is a pepsi fridge on craigslist in Richmond:

I'm thinking of offering $150 if it works since it's missing the front 
logo. Will need assistance to move it. We'll see. Still looking for local 
ones.

Dude brought me a jug of floor stripper. He said you dilute the stuff with 
water pretty heavily, so that's good. It will find it's way to the space 
soon. Admiral Choice High Productivity Stripper is what it reads.

Last night I moved to the space the larger shop-vac, and a few other 
items. I bought a 20" box fan for the space (that will help with floor 
work as well), and chain stuff for the lighting/camera raceway.

Cox is gonna cost me $100 to move the service. I'll do that next week.

I brought to the space a rackmount PC that is to be the media computer. I 
figure we won't ever be recording from it at the same time we're playing 
from it, so I'll see if I can find an ATI capture card or two, so that 
machine can double in the role of recording talks. I'll have to see what I 
have in the way of capture hardware. It still has the skeeball software on 
it, so that needs to be backed up. I think the hard drive in it is 80GB.
It's mounted an out of the way.

Tonite I might run by Lowes and pick up a few cheap 20" air filters, and 
see how much I can get 120' of wire for to use as speaker wire from the AV 
rack down to the projection setup. I'll put 20" air filters behind the box 
fan, and let it go just to help remove dust.

Talked to my friend Jim today. I told him we're looking for a motorized 
screen that is 12' wide or bigger, for theater nights. He said he has seen 
them in the past at surplus, but not recently, but will keep an eye out.

Lady from property emailed me back, said dude was busy today but will have 
them look at it tomorrow regarding leak, and find out about a box of 
bulbs.

*Phew*
