Full marks to the BBC weather site for correctly showing the repetition of 1am in the UK this weekend. (Hopefully most other weather sites get this right too...)

I believe there are people who believe a cupboard under the stairs doesn't really need a Dante-based speaker and conference room microphone.
I'm not one of those people.

Interval at Hadestown with Allie Daniel as Hermes. Ooh, she's very good :) (I've been looking forward to seeing her as Hermes since Feb 2024...)

Okay, so now I have a rather large Dante-enabled pendant speaker (admittedly without the hanging accessories). It sounds great, I love that it only needs a network cable. Absolute bargain (about $60) so I couldn't resist. Not actually sure what I'm going to do with it though...

Boo, no real flowers allowed in the theatre. Not to worry. But I get the feeling these cameras might be a touch more expensive than the ones we have at church...

Original Broadway Epic III, but still the faster Nothing Changes (Fates, after Papers). All stunning.

Ooh yes, it's on. Looking forward to a performance with an audience of 99% die-hard fans. Although I did hear one person saying they hadn't seen it before - not sure how they ended up in this particular performance, but I'm slightly jealous of the mind-blowing they're about to experience...

It's not pretty, but it works. (There's more work to do in order to detect Boolean values, handle string/float enums etc, but it's a start. And it found a subtle bug in my code!)
