Welcome to the wonderful world of those who live in black, lurk behind the scenes, and who's greatest goal is never to be seen by the audience
Techies are a rare breed (thankfully, if there were more of us people would think what we do is normal!!!!!!!), we are those in the theatre who seek no glory, no recognition (just as well) and who do our job with only minimal (!?!?!) complaining and the limited use of death threats and physical violence.
Below I've collected what I belive to be some of the best stuff from other tech sites and my own experience. The sites I got the information from can be found on the Links Page.
