Start your engines!

Today is the first official day of rigging! It's been a busy day, I have been helping unload equipment, and start to set up cables ready for install.

Myself and Howard, the engineer here, had been investigating a wallbox that doesn't seem to be working properly. We used a cable tester, to find that the cables do end somewhere, as they do not work in their place in CAR. Howard is currently checking over the diagrams to see if he can locate the cable numbers, and I will be helping him find them in CAR.

Things are hectic, so it's time to sign off my blog. NB to Marker, there is an 'older post' button at the bottom of the page, unfortunately it is not very clear, and is in black font.

Basic Cable Schedule

This is the basic cable schedule for Rave 2012. There will be smaller ones around, but these are the longer cables that will be needed, so it will be easier for us to keep track of how they are going.

One Week To Go!

Oh my, we only have a week till the actual event, and things aren't going well as a whole. Unfortunately we are unable to broadcast on freeview this year, as it was ambitious to try and do it in HD, and we were unable to procure the equipment needed. This is a shame, but we still need to get on with our respective jobs.

I've heard the tools and equipment should be here tomorrow, so I can't wait to get them, and get ready to test and install everything.

I think my weaknesses during this whole year have been:
- Reliance on cable making skills of students
- Being quite a lax leader - but still getting the job done
- I could have been more efficient in chasing up some of the matters.

However my strengths have been:
- Efficient problem solving
- Commitment to following through on what I promise
- Able to get the bigger picture, very quickly
- Able to lead very well, as well as a great team player.

Here's to a great Degree Show!

Patch Scheduling!

These are the patching schedules for one of my assistants who will be around CAR most of the day, ready to patch these new MUSA cables as the link show moves to its new location. 

The ones in yellow are high priority for looking at/testing.
