Got a lot of stuff done. In the morning I compiled the video of last night’s talk on the Milk Pail. This was somewhat different from the usual job where I have the cloud recordings from Zoom, which exactly sync the display of the slides with the time in the talk when the slides are shown. Here I had the video recording off our cameras, and a separate folder of four short videos and about 25 pictures that the guy had shown. I had to drop those into the timeline and move them around to the right places. It took about 3 hours to get it all assembled but it was done by lunch time.
At lunch someone commented that there was a new technology for assistive hearing devices, replacing the T-coil that we use to send audio to people’s hearing aids. The person didn’t remember any details but before supper I was able to find it: Auracast, an extension to the Bluetooth standard, for broadcasting audio over radio to a whole room. I read up on it, then wrote up an explainer email saying we need to get ready for this, and sent it to the appropriate people after supper.
Between lunch and later I worked on selecting and printing some pictures to put in my hall gallery, which hasn’t been refreshed in months.
Now I am going down to Patty’s room where with Joanne and Mildred we will watch the new Frankenstein movie.
