Projection Close 5/25



To do this evening/ was completed: Thank you, Alec, for detailing what happened. For the morning, just remain on call for various house needs. Keep an eye on T2 - try to be in or near the theatre when it is supposed to automate to make sure it doesn't stall! Thanks for hanging tight, everyone. 

This evening, we tried, once more, to power-cycling the switches/cisco as Alec had been doing periodically throughout the day. We let it be once that showed no promise of working, so we connected the temp router back to the Verizon box instead ( so we can use the iMac and what not). I decided to try, later on in the evening, putting the Cisco ethernet cable back into the Verizon box, which did nothing until, about ten or 15 minutes later, had its noisy fan blow again. We'd experienced that before, but normally the fan/drive starts the second its connected/turned on. In any case, this lasted a couple minutes. I have a sneaking suspicion this should be replaced, but I am not a professional IT person.  Spent a lot of time reading about the Cisco model, Network interface devices (and optical network terminals). Feel free to Google what a "dying gasp" is. 

The night went rather okay on my end, despite how unfortunate this situation is. I gave out a closed captioning device and made sure all the others were charging properly as one looked to be disconnected from the charger. FYI - yes, we can still use these. Transmitters/receivers require no wifi. 

Took the trash and recycling out and added new bags to the booth. Vacuumed around in the theatres in the hard to reach places, under the curtains, etc. Kept an eye on all auditoriums throughout the night - please do this in the morning as well. I doubt anything will happen as far as cues go, but I find it mindful and relieving to pop your head in before/during the shows to make sure all systems are a go. 

It is very quiet here. I might be the last one out. See you tomorrow!

To do this evening/ was completed: Scheduled 1/3 - 1/9 in LMS. A few manual starts in there. I scheduled those shows just a minute or two after their real start time to get the content transferred, just FYI. Started building the cue sheets as well. Got the first three days done. SE screenings went smoothly.

Projection Admin (and Close) 10/19

To do this evening/ was completed: Real quick - It was a great day! For tonight, I've let MOD know that, since I'm more comfortable staying until most of the last round starts (due to some funky server issues we've been having), I'm going to go see a movie in T2 and can silently text with them if they need anything or should anything go wrong (knocking on wood).  Extremely thrilled to say that all three NewFest shows went very well this morning/afternoon. It was definitely a bit of a magic trick with some overlapping intros/Q&As but having my personal ROS helped so much. Thank you to Desmond, NewFest rockstar.  Desmond and I double checked all shows before doors. Gaffed the wired mics and tested everything. Since one guest for the q&a in T2 wasn't comfortable with the chairs, we swapped our directors chairs for the ones in the bar, which still worked super well with the slides and spots.  Had to ride the mic in trees a bit since everyone's got a differen...
