3k for a replacement for the enigma? It would also be programmable, where as i think only 2 people know how to program the enigma.

Hi All

I have created an Ents wiki. It came about as I was creating a load of documents for fresher?s for how to do things, and it just struck me that it a wiki may be a more effective way ? some other university ents crew have similar things. Keith kindly donated the space for it, and I set it up ...

Just went though all the chapters on the guide - very useful. Thanks

Nope, all vital sound is run from stage power.

I cant believe i am saying this but....

Thursday night Fire Alarm:

One of the smoke detectors again, close to stage, by the fire exit. I spoke to Bruce/Mandy before the event and she told me that the smoke sensors were off and it was just heat: i ...

As some may have heard, there were fire alarms on Tuesday and Wednesday, both during the bops. There has been much speculation, however I have spoken to Bruce and the situation is as follows.

I think my exam finishes at midday, so i will probably be a bit later: i will need to get some food from tescos or hall, but i should be in by 1

I hope to be in on Tuesday too - I kinda have another idea that I would like to try for Tuesday if I may (I spoke to you about it last night, Josh). They can then go on the octagon on Wednesday (provisionally)


Ok, what time will you be in? nothing like a bit of father-son rigging 8 VLs on stage ...

equaly how does the pearl send 1024 signals though a port designed to only send 512?

ah - good to know. How does the splitter know to send one signal one way and the other the other?

Does anyone have any objections to me putting the VLs on the octagon on tuesday afternoon? I would probably leave the Technobeams up there for now.

Oh - and do the spicas and technobeams have flight ...
