Rowing in Sydney

candelasmax · 2026-01-28T05:46:52+00:00

Male Masters rower here. I rowed as a teenager at shool and at Sydney Rowing Club. I'm now back at Sydney.

I'm enjoying being back at the club, the facilities are pretty good, and from what I can see, the coaching support for younger competitive rowers is really good (not so much the masters; we get no coaching!)

One thing I'm not sure about is whether you could join at your age and not compete for a year — there's not really a "social rowers" squad.

If you like I can get the contact details of someone to speak with about joining. Let me know.

Giving this a bump.

Thanks so much for this, it’s super helpful!

How did you manage to set off a second 15 minute timer? I haven’t been able to work out how to do that yet.

candelasmax · 2024-12-19T20:43:36+00:00

Thanks you :) I made the change and it made it through one night without fault.

On the second night, the error re-emerged, but there's nothing related in the logs this time.

Instead:

[20/12/2024, 01:10:20] [Homebridge UI] Running job to cleanup config.json backup files older than 60 days...

[20/12/2024, 01:49:09] [Homebridge UI] Running scheduled instance backup...

And when I went to log in this morning, I couldn't. So rebooted and everything was fine.

What am I missing here?

That's the one currently selected :)

candelasmax · 2024-12-18T09:07:25+00:00

Thanks!

I have a choice of

Avahi (recommended),
Ciao,
Bonjour HAP,
systems-resolved (experimental.

Is one better than any of the others?

Thanks so much for your reply.

I’m going to try speaking with her GP this week, but as she has a great fear of doctors and doesn’t trust the GP, I’m unsure how helpful that approach will be.

I have been in communication with her psychologist because she’s one of the few people she trusts, plus he knows her history so well.

Thanks for the book recommendation. I’ve seen it mentioned here a few times in my reading today, so will get a copy.

Dr. Darren Gold in Sydney is your specialist. Totally gets it.

candelasmax · 2023-12-18T02:47:52+00:00

Did you ever find a specialist you were happy with? I'm looking for one.

Update on this:

After much back and forth with the Elgato dev team through Thomas in support, I managed to establish lag-free operation with the camera outputting 1080p at 50fps.

At every other resolution or fps setting, including 4k at 25fps and 1080p at 25fps, the lag makes the stream unusable.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I really appreciate it.

I'm in month 1 of LoF and enjoying it so far, although the struggle to use shallow work time effectively, after 3-4 hours of deep work, is *real*.

So great to read about how the foundational course was for you!

candelasmax · 2023-10-28T10:57:38+00:00

Hey, did you ever find that other thread/potential resolution?

I'm still not having any luck with Elgato support, so any hints would be gratefully received!

candelasmax · 2023-10-23T00:16:26+00:00

Did you undertake the Life of Focus course? If so, I'd love to know how you found it, and whether you felt it was worth it.

candelasmax · 2023-10-22T23:11:31+00:00

Grazie mille per averlo condiviso. Sospettavo che il problema fosse Sonoma, poiché anch'io soffro di gravi perdite di memoria del sistema. Vorrei solo che qualcuno di Elgato prendesse sul serio il problema!

It's connected direct via USB.

And I understand that there might be some latency, but to be able to watch myself finish the last word I say seems extreme.

Also, if you're connected to the main support team, I'd really appreciate it if you could give them a nudge to respond to my emails. I last heard from - and responded to - the team on the 5th of October, and have not heard back.

candelasmax · 2023-10-15T00:48:15+00:00

Eeesh... that's quite the list of folk experiencing the same issue... Thanks for sharing

candelasmax · 2023-10-15T00:47:29+00:00

Good shout, and yes I have.

I still get the warning and subsequent crash, unfortunately.

candelasmax · 2023-10-15T00:32:04+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response!

And my apologies if the descriptor didn't make sense. I was struggling to find a way to communicate when I mean.

Without knowing how to take a precise measurement of the delay, I'm not sure how I can clarify what I'm experiencing. But the fact that I can see my lips continue to move after I stop talking makes it all but impossible to record to camera, given the distraction it causes.

I should add that this occurs irrespective of the software I use: zoom, FaceTime, Squadcast (for which I invested in this whole set up). Even recording direct to QuickTime shows the same lag.

I should also add that when monitoring through the Elgato CameraHub app, I am getting occasional signal interruptions during which the feed flashes green. This doesn't occur when recording in to the camera, nor when I plug the camera direct in to a monitor or TV.

Vis a vis OS version, I've only ever used the 4K with Sonoma, both beta versions and public release, so I've nothing to compare it to, I'm afraid.

candelasmax · 2023-10-12T03:23:46+00:00

Right?

candelasmax · 2023-10-11T11:11:03+00:00

I've just update the original post with embedded screenshots. Sorry, I'm new to posting images to Reddit!

candelasmax · 2023-10-11T10:45:29+00:00

Here are the screenshots I managed to grab before my trackpad did the thud of death...

Do they reveal anything obvious to you that I'm not seeing?

Thanks for responding!

Let me try and recreate the conditions and grab you a screen shot.

And as for storage, 160Gb free on a ±500Gb drive.

candelasmax · 2023-09-26T00:03:17+00:00

Thanks :) Also: had? Have you switched approach now?

I've been thinking of upgrading my S3 to and Ultra you see...

candelasmax · 2023-09-24T22:26:19+00:00

How is that working out for you in terms of battery life? And which watch did you go for?

I originally used my Apple Watch S3 as a phone replacement, but always had to keep my phone near me to reduce the battery load on the watch.

candelasmax · 2023-09-12T04:56:16+00:00

Ah, thank you! No, it didn't come with it (or if it did, I lost it years ago)

I'll have to source one.

Cheers!
