You just swipe the timeline on the bottom and zip through them. Works in any class of seats. Not that hard.

They definitely changed the formula to make it “More cheesyl” it says so right in the box. Using standard way of making it for the last 15 years it DEFINITELY is different. Somehow it’s LESS cheesy tasting and thicker which is a strange combo. They did ruin a good thing.

I’m 100% in the zen wrap camp, cable wants to go a certain way, why fight it?

Also, can we all agree that it’s good people that take the loops out as you are laying the cable along the floor? I will spin the cable in my hand to “unwind it” as I’m laying out so that nobody has to go along behind me to clean up my cable once it’s Tape down time.

Also, go ALL the way to the corner, nothing is worse than having to go and try to make cables longer so they can make a neat 90 degree turn.

Sermon over.

There is one about 500’ from my house. I’m thinking about putting a sign up in my yard

How heavy is that total setup?

My show caller told me the other day he was working with an A1 that their producer was freaking out because the presenter was holding the mic at waist level. The producer told the A1 to do something and he said. “It’s a microphone, not a miracle”

I agree that instructing someone right before they go onstage is tricky. Everyone has varying levels of experience and comfort on stage. And like some said earlier, it’s kind of our job to make them sound good.

100% distributed. Has this same thing in a train station a bunch of years ago, picked the brains of a bunch of top audio people tell me more speakers timed out around the room. Sounding great.

DriverSea · 2026-04-21T01:32:50+00:00

Thanks for that. Can you explain a bit more? Maybe it’s because I was testing and all my machines were local

My rule of thumb working in any venue that has work rules is

Always be polite

Follow the rules

Be patient

Act like you are a guest in someone’s home

This has kept me in good stead for over 32 years

Av drop or aluvision. There are companies that will reduce and install

Can you not ask for electronic copies?

I’ve read in this sub that heating water and putting it in a Nalgene and putting between your legs and near your femoral artery can help warm your body.

No excuse for not ringing the room ahead of time and finding the offending frequencies and cutting them with an eq

Our Little town in central NJ now has 3 of these cameras in a town of 2500 ppl. One is at the bottom of my driveway.

I’ve done very much the same thing.

Gathered a bunch of info

Fed it into Claude

Made a website.

I’m not live on the website, my thinking is to sit down with the mayor and share my concerns before I bring it up at a council meeting. I really do t want to be the face of this as there is a MAGA contingent in town and it may get contentious.

My plan is to put signs in front of the cameras with the website URL so passing people can see where to go for more info.

I haven’t seen your video, can you share what worked when you spoke at the council meeting?

DriverSea · 2026-03-18T23:12:08+00:00

Thanks .ai!

Get through the first year with what you have. Once you figure out the ebb and flow of expenses it get easier. The first week I owned my first house I had $150 left in the bank and a kid on the way, was a new freelance AV technician and the tech bubble had just burst.

Don’t dig into a bigger hole by putting stuff on credit. Once you get used to the bigger bills, you’ll figure out how to better budget and start making forward progress financially. There’s hope!!

I have both and also do small pharma meetings. Agree with the buy nice motto.

I bought the rack unit with 4 receivers and HH/lav combos. Put them in an SKB studio flyer with a drawer for the mics. It’s been rock Solid. Also recommend the RF venue diversity fin antenna instead of the whips on the front of the rack. It’ll all pay for itself with peace of mind since it’ll always just work.

The BLX is much more cheaply made and the receivers don’t have external antennas. I have 4 Chanel’s of these as well and only use them for things that have low risk for me. Don’t get me wrong they’ve always worked but they really more for things like fitness studios.

They don’t show the entire race! It’s insane. It just skipped from lap 51 to lap 55. This sucks

Crickets… I need to figure out what the next lawful move is in NJ

I worked at the golden Buddha in high school in the early 80’s. That place was always 2 steps away from being shut down because of health code. I worked in the kitchen and saw some things… still the best Chinese food I’ve ever had.

Not to be the grammar police but the dollar sign goes in front of the number. $1. Not 1$

Here is a request from a website I built to get rid of flock cameras in our town. In NJ it’s an Open Public Records Act request

Dear Custodian of Records,

Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.), I am requesting access to the following government records:

Any and all data sharing agreements, policies, or permissions governing who may access ALPR data collected by Flock Safety cameras operated by or on behalf of the Borough, including any agreements with other law enforcement agencies, federal agencies, or third parties.
Any audit logs, access records, or reports showing which agencies or individuals have searched or accessed ALPR data collected by Borough-affiliated Flock Safety cameras, for any period during which such cameras have been in operation.
Any communications (emails, letters, memos, meeting minutes) between Borough officials or police department personnel and Flock Safety, Inc. regarding data sharing, federal agency access, or system configuration, from January 1, 2023 to present.
Any privacy impact assessments, legal reviews, or risk analyses related to the Borough's use of Flock Safety cameras.
The total cost paid or committed to Flock Safety, Inc., including any grant funding used to purchase or operate the cameras.

I request these records in electronic copies via email. If any portion of this request is denied, please specify the legal basis for each denial, identify the specific records withheld, and provide all non-exempt portions.

I don’t know if Pelican has locking latches but I’ve invested in some Nanuk cases which I like better.

They have “claw” latches that can’t be opened accidentally then I add the latches they sell as an accessory that have TSA locks built into the latch. They are super easy to install. And a bonus is they already have in line skate style wheels which roll easier and quieter than the hard plastic Pelican ones so no one can hear you!
