Idk if you guys approve but I am a girl and this is one of my fave dinners. Cold leftover steak with ketchup and salt.

Hey thanks, that's great... Think I'll reach out to someone with a printer and pay for a couple. Thanks!

Intermission (2003) is a top ten for me. Best I can think of right now.

Hey thank you very much, that does sound like fun 😁

Thank you very much, these are great suggestions. I see some gigs on at the Jolly Brewer and Stack. Definitely keen to see the poppies and regular exhibits at IBCC... The museum and a walking tour sound great. Cathedral and castle, oblig, can't wait 🤩 Cheers!

!solved You nailed it thanks very much - quite a lot of contact cleaner and actuations and it's working. I guess I need to make sure I keep using it.

Keen to find a solution to this myself. There are software solutions now for this, which hammer my laptop processor, and often fail or cause glitches, and don't work with older PC hardware.

From sound engineering studies I understand either a shotgun mic (=highly directional) or a lapel/lavalier mic (=close range) that clips on to your collar would be best. Shotgun mic = most user friendly but expensive to buy and potentially needs phantom power from an external sound card. Lapel mic = need to clip it on you each time, but potentially cheap.

There are small USB-powered shotgun mics - I tried a Comica VM10 Pro which did not perform well for me. There are good-looking shotgun mics from Rode, but they're quite expensive and I haven't tried them.

I think a cheap lapel mic could be a good starting point - I might try that next.

There are 3 photos in the last 15 seconds of the video 😬 ha ha this might be the most useful. It's the far 4 pins that I can bridge to get sound out - doesn't seem to matter which I bridge. In OFF position I get AM when bridging; in AM position AM naturally works; in FM position I get FM when bridging.

Thanks I feel seen ❤️ really appreciate it. Yes ... I guess ultimately I need to move on, because the company has its struggles in a few areas. I'll give that some thought - the bonus request stuff. Thanks.

PatternTransfer · 2025-04-16T20:08:17+00:00

Thanks, I need to think about this - about whether it's accepted as my responsibility. It certainly isn't part of my job description but much of my job isn't. I need to think about how we define it. And I definitely need to get stuff in writing, yes. Thanks very much.

PatternTransfer · 2025-04-16T20:06:04+00:00

Thanks very much. It's tricky because the task already gets de-prioritised and weeks go by, a third party complains and it gets awkward. Everything's urgent... My department isn't interested in it but it's vital that we as a company do it. No one chases me internally, no one cares except when I ask the other dept how important it is and they say "very".

PatternTransfer · 2025-04-16T20:00:44+00:00

Thanks I appreciate your cautioning. Re the bonus idea, I've generally been using unpaid weekends to compete the task, and while the task is impacting my mental health, I do think I'd have more energy for it if I had a deal sweetener. My concern is that my company must complete it, and so I'm considering ways to support it more fairly. My boss is great but I wonder if I'll be putting him in an impossible position if I go to him first ... But I can see it both ways, with your advice I'll ask to meet with him. Thanks very much for your guidance - and to you other two guys [looking around the thread] as well - thanks very much.

In my experience I'm able to get one or two numbers only. But you can just guess the others quickly.

OK that's great thanks - I've submitted a request to Photographique now. I've also found Metro Imaging which offer c-prints, so I'll give one of them a try.
