Another day without leaving the building, or walking, or playing music. Har-umph!
First thing went down and set up the auditorium for the drama group, who did their full dress rehearsal of their five-piece show of short skits. I had to set up mics, record video, and turn the lights on and off on cue, or thereabouts.
That took until noon. After lunch I edited yet another video of a lecture, Peter’s lecture on the great hyper-inflation in Hungary 1945-6. It was an interesting talk and I took some pains in the editing. He had shown slides of the banknotes, the million-pengo bill and the hundred-million and such, and I found I could edit the video images so I could zoom in on each bill to fill the screen. Fun.
Got that uploaded and had a nap and then it was time for the Good Times committee to meet. I had the Val Day Video to share and the meeting went smoothly although I got a couple of changes to make, of course.
Then met with Peter to plan the AV for the memorial for his wife, coming up next month. Among other things he wants to play music from an iphone through the lecternette, in the lobby, and I don’t have the requisite dongle or adapter.
Finished that and it was dinner time already. I sat at a table for one so I could read the stream of texts that Laurel had been sending for the prior hour or two 😊.
And after supper I edited Yet Another video, this one by guy named Oppenheimer talking about craftsmanship, which is the name of his magazine, Craftsmanship Quarterly. I had sat through that lecture live and didn’t care for it, disagreed or thought is presentation was blah, now I had to edit the video of it.
Got it done, and so to bed.
