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.

fyi, there will also be a fair bit of cabling comming too 12 5m bits of 5 pin DMX and 12 3m 16Amp cable, as well as 4 Cform 2 ways. I know we could probably have managed the rig without the cabling, but i had nightmares of finding we were short of Cform or DMX, and since the cost of cabling only com...

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).
