Troubleshooting, shopping and church

Spent Saturday morning helping Phil with some of the studio troubleshooting. I wonder how he juggles so many things at one time. There was the Cornerstone Singers recording in the recording studio and the Youth Mass Media group getting training in the TV studio and sanctuary to get ready for the kindergarten graduation on Sunday.
While in the studio, I helped to troubleshoot a couple of problems. The first was that of the audio not getting from the Mackie D8B mixer to the Digital Performer software on the Mac. After some troubleshooting, checking all the optical cables and connections, realised that the hardware input settings for the MOTU I/O unit was somehow changed and it wasn't taking the input from the optical in, but something else. Changed that and managed to finally get some input. Next, there was a problem with the headphone cue audio leaking into the control room monitor speakers. Strange problem. Again, checking and tracing finally showed that the headphone monitor output was leaking back through the ground into the mixer due to an intermittent 1/4" connector in the studio. Also as the output was stereo headphone, and they were using only a 1/4" mono cable from that to the headphone distribution amps, the left channel of the headphone audio was shorting to ground, causing the leak. To do - change/fix the headphone wall socket and change to stereo cables for the headphones.
Next, there was a problem in the TV studio with camera 1 not coming up on the switcher, but was showing some strange video noise. Was wondering if it was a camera problem or not. Finally did the obvious, reboot both the camera and the video switcher and it worked!! Helped to set up the camera in the santuary and then Phil said they'd be ok for the rest of the day.
We then went back to rest for a while (jet lag still a majot factor), then went shopping for some groceries before going to Wing Kong and Do Hui's for dinner.
Had fresh Salmon sashimi and a strange looking but delicious Blue Rock Cod shashimi with fish miso soup. Delicious. Had a chance to catch up and talk about Singapore happenings as only Singaporeans can. They had a co-worker from Apple, Raymond, over for dinner. He's also from Singapore. He's family's back home for the summer holiday and he's alone here for the time being.
Matthew left his Gameboy at their house..

Sunday, woke up early again and did laundry. Brought Matthew to Sunday school at 10am, but he didn't want to go in and was just stubborn outside. Finally had to sit him down, and then took him on a small tour of the huge kitchen before he opened up. Finally he went to the class with a new friend, Victoria, who is Phil's youngest daughter.
Went for service at 11:30am. Quite late. Took Rev Wong from Cornerstone EB church in Singapore and his daughter for lunch. His daughter is starting school at Skyline College end August and she was moving into her room yesterday.
After lunch, came back, moved the laundry to the dryer and Rev Wong move out of their apartment here. After that, went to do some for shopping for essentials. Didn't buy much though. Tried to bank in a cheque at the ATM, but it didn't work. Will have to call them up to see if my account has been frozen.

Came back and slept till 9:30pm. Actually overslept.
Made dinner and then went to sleep finally around midnight. Woke up at 4am again, made breakfast and now getting ready for the day. Matthew's going to his school class and Li Soon is getting ready to help out. Gtg bathe now.
