She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. ... she never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her.

#$@&!

I got my ass royally handed to me by an installation today. We've got this house with a massive distributed audio/video system in it, with a damn nice front-projection theater to go with it (45" x 107" curved screen, Runco projector with optional Whitney anamorphic lens). It was in this theater that I received my fail.

After doing the math a few times, I ended up with a 2.35:1 image a full 5 inches too high on the screen.

I fucking HATE external lenses.

*sigh*

I has a sad.
