This week was Stake Conference, and to address the constant problem of logistics (seating, parking, attendance, etc.) the decision was made to do a webcast to 4 buildings instead of the closed-circuit to only two. We spent around $4K for the equipment, and under the supervision of - who else - Lamont Harris, wired up Riverdale, Clifton, 3/7/10 and the Stake Center. A few trial runs broadcasting sacrament meetings, which went well, did little to keep Pres. Mumford from sweating a few bullets. Our visiting GA was Elder J. Roger Fluhman, secretary to the Twelve, and he helped out by dropping by the library command center, and telling us that, "This better work, or we're all dead."
The minor miracle part happened when Clifton lost electricity before the session started. People scrambled for generators, got the sound sytem and lights going, then realized they had no internet.
They had forgotten to power up the routers. The crisis was averted a whole one minute before the session started, running on auxiliary power.
Funny how things work out.
