On Sunday 2/6 some of our youth trainers presented a new iPad and iPad Mini purchased with Pozible campaign funds to two of our unsuspecting Senior Techies!
They were completely surprised and very overwhelmed by their new devices.
We delivered them fully set up and within a few minutes Margaret was using it to email her friend and Noel was looking at the Sunday paper digital edition.
Both seniors recorded a short thank you videos and you can view them on our Senior Techie YouTube channel here youtu.be/4LhvwgwTN5I and here youtu.be/dktbgyK5kTQ
We currently have 7 new seniors training events at a planning phase, dates and details will be published on our website - www.seniortechies.com.au in due course.
In the meantime we would love it if you like our facebook page at www.facebook.com/seniortechies for all the latest news and future events.
Seriously peeps, i had a crappy day that made me want to throw things. So, i finally got past the techy stupidity (because, as my facebook page says, "when tech support people fix & then unfix an issue & THEN have her spend hours working with them until they finally frakkin read that the new software they made her download isn't compatible with what she said she needed to do FROM THE START that should be considered STEALING. i would like to sue for my 150 minutes back. Oh, & p.s. i still need to be able to print you asshats.") i went to the gym and funneled my rage into killing it on my lifts and resistance. RAWR.
Then i came home, got some things done (finally! Hours lost to tech support that i will never get back! Whine), ate some pizza, tried to take pics of that, failed, and then decided to do something that always makes me happy: watching GOOD EATS.
Alton Brown is my hero, even when he makes things i can't or don't eat, even when he uses mayonaise ( = most disgusting substance on the planet) in things that don't strictly need it, even when he is silly beyond the pale. He saved the day! My hero :)
Also, whoa, day 95. Need to start thinking about day 100 - that went very fast!

If you’re one of those ‘techies’ who’s the go-to computer whiz for your friends and family, it’s about time you stepped up and got recognized.

Seldom do I mention gear. Being a techy person, I love drooling over new cameras and lenses, but they are barely relevant for the final image at the end of the day. Well, mostly. Ultra-wide is something I haven't mastered yet. Most modern UWA lenses are quite big and bulky, so I avoided taking them with me. Luckily I've found slick and solid 15mm Voigtländer. It's also a manual focus lens, so more things to learn — more fun 😅

... like an engineer watches over his faders, XLRs and levels.
On a serious note, respect your techies at your station. We are the ones that keep you on air, look into your awkward problems caused by spilling water into the desk (when we told you not to drink near the mixer) and help you out when you can't get stuff to work.
At which point, it's time to pull out the good old quote by Henry Rollins:
"Listen to the stage manager and get on stage when they tell you to. No one has time for your rock star bullshit. None of the techs backstage care if you’re David Bowie or the Milkman.
When you act like a jerk they are completely unimpressed with the infantile display that you might think comes with your dubious status.
They were here hours before you building the stage and they will be here hours after you tearing it down.
They should get your salary and you should get theirs.”
