Afternoon all!

I’m likely not going to be home at 8 tonight, and therefore not going to be able to host the meeting today or even start it off like last time I wasn’t able to attend.

We could either:

a) cancel for this week
or
b) someone else could host  (but that would require a new link etc) 

Sorry for the relatively short notice I hadn’t even pegged that the two events clashed! 

aww

can you not get someone at home to push the big red button to start the thing and then let @Ghosty take over from there?  

would someone else hosting with a new link work? I seem to recall the host needs a paid version of zoom or everyone gets booted after 30 mins or something such

[wuvvum]

That's a shame, I was looking forward to three hours of discussion about Alvis Stalwarts...

[Ghosty]

Clutching at straws but can you not start the meeting on mobile and the send host over to someone else, or is that not possible in the circumstance?

 

Let's play it by ear.

Sadly no one able to do it at home either... good idea though I had discussed that one with Mrs_b beforehand.

That puts pressure on me to remember and not get distracted at the opportune time. I may even be home by 8 (it’s the first of a very local cars and coffee style meet...) but I hate ambiguity... and I’d rather not let people down by them expecting me to start it and then being distracted or driving or something at 8.

Its easier letting folk down in a planned way rather than an unplanned way... 

[Talbot]

Is there anything stopping the meeting being started much earlier (like, even now) and immediately handed over to someone who will have a computer running all day anyway?  Zoom can just be running quietly in the background.

Edit:  just checked.  The free service allows up to 40 minutes service, whereas even the cheapest paid-for service allows a 30hr meeting... it could be running all day with no issue.

Good news!

@Mrsbrownnova has said she will now be available at 8 so will be able to start the zoom call, she may even stay for a chat (baby depending). 

We’re safe for tonight!!

Well I mean, we only need your laptop. You can go in the bath!

[Fumbler]

Phantastc. I'll warm up the green/blue/white screen.

[Crackers]

I'll pop my head in tonight as I need to have some communication with the outside world.

[Ghosty]

I've just had a new wardrobe installed. I can't hang the banner up!

[dozeydustman]

I'm otherwise engaged this evening. Bit of Stolly and roadrunner chat would have been good to listen to/take part in.

Jeez, I still would.

Turn up tonight. What else did you think I meant?

[Heidel_Kakao]

I am free tonight 🤪

[St.Jude]

Dealing with a work issue so I'm going to be late, but if I don't turn up at all don't assume I'm dead. Just very fucked off with technology 😂

[LightBulbFun]

sorry for dropping out suddenly like that

turns out my ethernet cable's plug, router end, decided to develop an iffy connection and kill my internet LOL

(which explains the stuttering I was getting near the end before the connection died completely LOL)

[3VOM]

I had to go off early due to diary fuck up at my end (apologies to those on when I suddenly darted at 8.30!) 

I handed over hosting duties to Six-cyl.

Did you get in? 

[Ghosty]

I forgot and showed up a bit late (lot on my mind today!) but when I did 6c passed host to me.

Yeah I did after about an hour, @Six-cylinder finally felt pity figured out how to work out the Zoom machine and let me in  

(much to the disappointment of everyone else probably LOL)

[Crackers]

I entirely forgot the Zoom was going on tonight, a last-minute heads up about a steam railtour took over my plans for the evening! 

[loserone]

I was going to join in but looked at the clock after locking the shed etc. and it was 11pm already.  FFS.
