Got some real equipment

The equipment at church is getting upgraded, we're finally almost to the "not cheap crap that's just the best we can afford" stage.

I put a 3500 lumen projector in there a few weeks ago, which is what I've always known we needed for that room, but I couldn't afford until now.

Last weekend I put in an EXCELLENT set of microphones. They're full digital, 2.4 GHz units from AKG. Two headworn mics and two handhelds. They work GREAT - seem to be as good as wired. We were getting so tired of the old VHF analog units fading and cutting out.

A new pair of speakers in there and we'll be caught up. There are other projects on the horizon but at least what's actually there will be stuff that works.

Chrome on Android - not really ready for prime time.

I installed Chrome on my phone, and it came pre-installed on the tablet. I don't do a lot of web browsing on mobile devices, because it's just awkward. Today I tried fixing up the experience a bit, and hit an immediate show-stopper - no extensions. That means no LastPass.

I use Chrome to sync bookmarks, since I switched to Chrome everywhere it works fine. However, password syncing is missing some critical components. It works fine and the uploaded passwords are encrypted so that's all good, but there's no way to manually add passwords. This is critical functionality.

So LastPass is still a requirement.

I looked at Firefox for Android, but the reviews are not good - basically, it's not really stable yet.

I've installed Dolphin Browser with the LastPass on the phone. It works. It's one of those apps that has its own look and feel and I may spend the time to figure out how to be proficient at it, or I might just wind up being a clumsy fingerpoker.
