At 8:15 I left to walk to the dentist. There the nice lady asked, did I remember to take my pre-med? Oh shit. I am supposed to take amoxicillin before a dental procedure to protect my artificial valve. I’ve only been doing this for the last twenty years. Small point in my favor, they didn’t send me a reminder text the day before like they have in the past. Anyway, they dispensed the amoxy and it was ok.
Next down to FOPAL where I spent 3 hours processing a huge pile of computer book donations.
In the afternoon I dealt with a tech issue. My buddy Bert can be really obnoxious when he gets a wild hair up his ass, as we used to say. In re the auditorium upgrade, he is fascinated with the technology of a “video wall” which he thinks we should have instead of a drop down screen and a projector. That wouldn’t be a problem except he took it on himself to send email, not to the AV mailing list, but to about 20 people most of whom are on the AV list, detailing his research into video walls. So I read up on them, it’s a stupid idea for us to have one because, duh, it’s a wall, and we have no place to put a 15-foot wide wall, that wouldn’t be in the way of all the other uses of the auditorium. I made a nice, even-toned, factual case, with lots of links to video wall vendors and such, quietly and politely explaining why I didn’t think it would work for us.
