one nice thing about using @qlab.app to run your doorbell is that, when you discover how package delivery guys tend to be Very Impatient and like to Mash That Doorbell A Lot, you can just adjust the cue programming to prevent them from triggering the doorbell sound faster than your desired rate

We have reached the point in software capitalism where @qlab.app is now getting support requests from people who assume they need to "renew" every year and are wondering if they need to pay us again for the program they bought last year. (They do not.)

youtu.be/I9YYo0Jn1NU I think one of QLab’s greatest strengths is the ability to switch performance-specific conditions such as branching storylines or double/triple-casting all at once within a single cue list, with just a single action. #qlab #qlab5

spent the day in the QLab.tv studio recording video tutorials for QLab 5.5 (no we don't have a release date yet, but we're getting closer and it'll be as soon as we can)

the interior room of a Baltimore row house which has been converted to a small recording studio for creating video content. the room has a standing desk in the center and is lit in a rich purple hue. an iMac sits on the standing desk, while various cameras and pieces of camera equipment surround the desk. sound baffling materials are visible on the ceiling, walls, and floor

in all these years of making QLab we've never bothered to count how many people are actually using it... until last month. turns out over 100,000 different computers in the world ran QLab in the last 5 weeks, and about 10,000 unique computers run it per day. this is blowing my mind.

a little tip vis a vis my day job (i work for @qlab.app): chatgpt and google gemini are especially useless at giving qlab answers. for whatever reason, they are consistently, spectacularly wrong about qlab.
