Editing! Lists! Jesse! Photos!

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:02 pm  

Rainy day.

Studied Portuguese. Reviewing key concepts.



Kathy wasn’t feeling well. Took care of her this morning. Jesse is also under the weather.

Edited and uploaded video from my latest team from Alabama.

I am doing all the editing, uploading and sharing on my iPhone 7+.

I’ve made a couple of changes to my operation. I used to always add music. I’ve decided that wasn’t necessary. I think the natural sound adds more realism. And I’ve also stopped burning DVDs for each team. Who watches DVDs anymore? Everything now is streaming in HD.

Sent an email to the team leader with all the links to the photo galleries and video.

When that is accomplished I consider the team complete, although I’ve added one more step now. From now on, all the adult leaders who come with the teams will also be sent a letter to encourage them to become regular donors. If you don’t ask, you don’t receive. In the past I’ve asked, but not directly enough.

Worked on updating the Featured Galleries in our Photo Sharing site: SmugMug.

Updated and merged all the different State email addresses into one master State list.

Added all the new contacts from last week into the separate lists, either Youth Group Leaders (who have already worked with us) or Newsletter List (every member who has worked with us.)

A massive job, but worthwhile. It’ll save Ashley a lot of time when she sends out information. She can do one email blast rather than 15!

I’m very sensitive to how much time each procedure takes. If it’s too hard, it generally stops getting done.

Too slippery to ride.

I did record a very intense edition of Verbal Surgery called “This Is Not A Drill.” Super good will be released later this month.

Had a good meeting over the phone with Jesse’s lawyer for his startup. Great to see things coming along!

Admin duties now.
