here’s a lil demo btw (not that you can get much of an idea of how it sounds through a phone video, but you can get an idea of the fact you can actually hear the high end)

well yknow how one of our amplifiers was having issues a while back, so we cleaned it out and it seemed to be working better? well...
An amplifier with the thermal protect and clip lights both illuminated. For this model of amplifier, that means that it has activated the thermal limiter circuit, which limits the output of the amplifier when it gets too hot.

finally got around to properly #projectionmapping the cyc in our theatre! (just using #qlab for this btw, im just playing back a prerendered video so i dont really need touch).
A test pattern being projected on the back wall (cyclorama) of a stage. The test pattern is nearly perfectly aligned to the corners of the cyc, and the aspect ratio of the projections is also nearly perfect (as shown by the grid of squares and the circle in the center).

this run is turning out a lot better theres a strange line through the center but its fiiiine
Yet another sheet of stickers. This time the stickers are the proper resolution and the laminate is applied mostly properly.

(this is what it looked like before)
A bunch of stickers on a Cricut work sheet. The bottom stickers are cut off-center, and the drawing is cut off a little bit because of this.

Apollo @apollofops.net · 30/11/2025
it actually cut really well! so the feed issue is clearly fixed.
A bunch of stickers randomly placed around a cutting mat. The cuts have the proper margins, and the print quality looks overall pretty good.

also apparently im really bad at applying laminate if anyone has some tips please tell me lol
Another picture of the sheet of stickers. The bubbles under the laminate are very clearly visible, as well as the fact that the laminate is misaligned with the page.

managed to get it set up pretty well, but now we just have to wrestle the software into doing what we want
A test sheet from the printer. There are two calibration runs on this page at two different ink densities, one of them looks pretty good and the other one has a decent amount of bleed on it.
