Rigging Inspection Day :o/

As the title suggests. Today we had our annual rigging inspection. Always a slightly worrying time... not because you'll get caught doing something wrong, but because the cost of a service on a motor can be so high!
Anyway... everything passed and we gleaned some more tips on how to do things better from Darren at SLX. He even helped tidy a few things up for us :)
Here's to another incedent free 12 months! :)

‎"B" for blackout! A very useful key :)

Today I was forced to learn a little about PowerPoint. Thing is I don't have anything against this software... It does do what it says on the tin and on almost any powered system. But until today I'd never had to turn off a presentation without recourse to a switch or shutter...

"F1" to the rescue.. and surprisingly enough the key [B] will 'blackout' a presentation. I may be using this one quite often now! :)
