I would, but berkeley if I'm putting pants on

Just don't stand up in front of the camera like IanF

Yeah, it's 10:19 p.m. Eastern, and we're still chatting. 

The gang's all here. 

No password necessary. Just click the room link in the first post.

Same here, I just installed Zoom, copy/pasted the meeting ID, but now it wants a password. 

Pete, go back and re click on the link in the first post

In reply to David S. Wallens :

So that's what it looks like all big.  I did it on my phone and it just switched between everyone.  Might have to do it on a tablet next time.

In reply to Stampie :

I think that's called gallery view. But, yeah, that's my laptop. Then I have my big screen for everything else.

I figured it out - it didn't prompt me to create an account or login, but that's what I needed to do before I could join. 

That was fun. Sorry I had to bounce again. I was keeping the kids up!

Great time!  

Super easy.

I look forward to doing it again.

In reply to John Welsh :

Totally. Good seeing you there. 

It was a good chat. I look forward to catching the next one I can. 

Thank you all. Looks like we're going to shoot for another one next Tuesday ( 3/31) night at 8 PM EST. I'll post the room link a little before 8 on that day.

John, thank you for setting that up. 

Thank you for hosting that was good fun!!!  

Thanks John!

Got in late, looking forward to the next one. 

Also, next time, who's up for separate Univox chat room?  I have two and a half Hi Flyer basses plus this. 

Wow! A picture of a guy holding his crotch!

Thank you for setting that up, John. I was mostly listening while I worked on the furniture, but it was good fun and helped pass the time. It was really great putting some faces to names.

I'll certainly try to make any and all of the sessions you put up! Maybe you'll be able to notice the progress in the grosh.

Technical notes: I ran it on a tablet over Wifi about 50' away from the router and through two walls and didn't experience any issues for the most part. It was hard to tell if my connection was sketchy at time or it was the person speaking. It did eat up the bettery fairly well- I went from 100% charge to 21% over the duration. 

I think a few people were running it over their phones, I'd be interested to see what kind of performance they were getting

The big takeaway: Covid-19 is no joke. Thanks for sharing your experiences with it  Stay home.





 

What I get for being "an essential night shift worker".... 

Maybe next time.

In reply to mtn :

Near his crotch. That's a firefighter overseeing a wreck--and armored car had gone off the road and flipped. I came across the scene while heading home from classes--it was the summer that I lived way off campus. From the crash scene I headed right to the local paper. The editor in chief had taught one of my journalism classes. I asked to speak to him. 

My photo made the cover of both editions--and I got paid and they processed my film for me. Winning. 

Thank you again John, it was really cool to put faces to the names I've seen here.  Being an introvert it took a lot of courage for me to do this and I'm glad that I did.

Captdownshift, I'm _really_  glad you're on the mend and I hope you are back to 100% really soon.  My wife and I have been praying for you.

I'll see you guys again on Tuesday, may come in a little between 8-9pm EDT.  I work 4 10s at the ambalamps co. and the last hour is usually pretty slow.

TB eh?  What's that stand for?
