Add finishing the LED light install over the bandsaw. Bulbs wouldn’t fit with long tombstones, I bought short ones but had to use some in the pantry. Do we have a supply of short tombstones now?

@procterc I don’t know whether to take the silence as acceptance or abject horror

Both, I’ve got Tim to keep the vice position and asked Randy to be a second vice.

Sheetcam offered an update from V7.09 to V7.11 what problems will happen if this is done?

8

It will break the runas tool until it can be updated by infra

9

Unknown; likely going to be a “find out.” Typically minor version updates aren’t likely to break things (7.xx to 7.yy versus 7.x to 8.x)

EDIT:

Good to know
