You’ve Been Set Up

The team at One 20 Productions needed a hand setting up a charity / fashion show in the CBD.

We designed, supplied and installed a video distribution system to run their plasma displays. Luckily we had spare scan converters on hand to run laptop shows and more at the last minute. It was an excellent show with the “men in black” backstage making sure it all ran well for the organizers.

Pub Upgrades in the Desert

by factotum on Aug.28, 2009, under Projects

A quick fly-in fly-out job in Newman saw me install a number of plasma TVs, integrate them with the distribution system, add a series of powered speakers along with a host of other upgrades and incidental repairs. As soon as I dig up the photos they’ll be up here.

A pleasant change from the dreary rain here in Perth!

Are You Being Servered?

by factotum on Aug.26, 2009, under Projects

It was a typical day – planned to finish work early and head home to install a new kitchen sink.

And then a client’s ancient PIII (yes, that’s right a Pentium 3) Primary Domain & File Server died… So some quick data recovery, jury rigged DNS, temporary file sharing and on-line corporate banking before getting on a plane to another job…

And then built a spanking new server when I returned to replace the existing boat anchor :)

Flying Saucers

by factotum on Aug.16, 2009, under Projects

flyingsaucerThis week saw us (amongst other things) fabricate a set of mounts for setting intel lights on truss towers. A few clever router / drill press / layout jigs meant we could make a dozen high grade units in a fraction of the usual time.

Foul weather had us set up a portable spraybooth in the loading bay and belt out a matt black finish for that pro look. If its worth doing – its worth doing properly!

Has is really been a month already?

The variety of projects in our first month has been astounding. From programming DMX lighting, rebuilding arcade consoles to installing a boxing ring. These projects will be uploaded in the next few days.
