Ah, sorry that came off so inflammatory... I appreciate<br>the fact that so much work was done to get the TV<br>working in the first place, and when it worked, it worked<br>quite well. If we put it on a mobile cart, and nobody else<br>
needed to use it, it would be great for presentations. If<br>there's something I can do to facilitate this in the future,<br>I'd be happy to help.<br><br>Also, the space was super noisy on Wednesday, and I<br>was really happy that it only took one person shouting<br>
out a request for people to quiet down, and everybody<br>was really respectful. I've been giving these kind of<br>workshops for about a year now and am really happy<br>with the space and the people.<br><br> mike<br>

I agree with Brian that we really do need a good portable<br>presentation system for the Church and Turing classrooms,<br>maybe I'll look into doing something about that when I get<br>back, unless some motivated person(s) beat me to it.<br>
<br>I wasn't going to mention it, but yeah, the only time I saw<br>that tv being used, someone was playing some bullshit<br>video game on it. That combined with the note urging people<br>to "clean up after yourself, mom isn't here" or something<br>
to that effect really didn't scream "Please don't touch this<br>sensitive TV" to me. It screamed "Do whatever the fuck<br>you want with this TV because it's not being used for any<br>worthwhile purposes, so if you spent 20+ hours in the past<br>
week preparing for a presentation that you gave for free to<br>a bunch of willing people who donated money to noisebridge<br>in return, nothing bad will come of it".<br><br>Also it's pretty fucking heavy and was doing nothing but<br>
taking up space on Wednesday.<br><font color="#888888"><br> mike</font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 7:14 PM, Brian Morris <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cymraegish@gmail.com" target="_blank">cymraegish@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>* The last of three projectors is clearly dying if not already dead. When the projector goes down in the middle of an event it can really screw things up. Some people (like Mike) work very hard on preparing their presentations and make substantial contribution to the space thereby.<br>
<br>* The TV was originally announced on the discussion list as available for people to use / try with due care and caution. <br><br>* The TV was set up in the Library space apparently as a game machine. <br><br>* The TV was moved aside from that spot during cleanup apparently a few weeks ago. If it was in especially fragile condition that was not obvious.<br>
<br>* A person had a gaming computer that was used for other purposes and was not fragile and was coerced to remove it a few months back even though a bunch of people said it was useful and not in the way.<br><br>* The TV makes a very nice presentation system much better than the projector ever was.<div>
