At ten am I scored big on the tech squad. Susan has an HP printer that stopped communicating with her mac some days ago. Two people from the tech squad have failed to fix it. Peter failed, then Craig tried and failed. So Craig asked me to try. And I did the thing. Actually all I did was follow the instructions in the printer manual and the on-screen prompts from the “HP Smart” app. However I had to do that three times, varying things, before the very involved sequence of operations actually worked. I am not a fan of the HP printers or their software. Nevertheless I succeeded where two others gave up. Further cementing my reputation as a Mac wizard with Susan, and probably Craig.
After lunch I went to the museum and led a tour for a group of college students from a university in Sweden. Of course their English was perfect, so no language problem. It was a big group and we had two docents, and my group kept catching up with the other group, so I would have to vamp and stall. I thought I talked more than other docents but apparently not this one.
As soon as I was back it was time to set up for the 4pm AV committee meeting. The main draw for this was the Gerald of IT came to tell us about the current state of the request to upgrade the Auditorium equipment. What’s currently in-plan is just a new, 4K projector and a new screen that rejects ambient light better; and a new camera to replace the old one. Plus some wiring changes and an upgraded blu-ray player to support the 4K projector.
