Alas! <for 3CR> I'll have to miss this I'm afraid as it's the Lady Checkpoint's birthday on Saturday and we've arranged a family'thon at that time, so I hope you guys don't use up all the bandwidth. Next time maybe (if you haven't all fallen out with each other with this one).

No announcement yet.
Is a Virtual ‘Thon a possibility?

willie1foot has very kindly set up the call. I think it’s easiest if I PM it to whoever expressed even a vague interest on here. Feel free to join, drop in, or ignore.

I've got the pm and thanks but sorry am completely confused about what I have to click on next Saturday. 2 passwords are mentioned. Clicking on one link I'm told the meeting is beginning in a few seconds which obviously isn't right. And all the phone numbers are relevant only to USA and Australia.
Sorry for being thick but am a bit lost!

If you're connecting via a PC/Device with internet audio, you don't need to dial in and the password is the 'word' Sits provided..
The dial-in numbers were only provided if someone was having difficulty with internet audio. Unfortunately, Zoom doesn't appear to have UK dial-in numbers (https://vocus.zoom.us/u/aQbLsEKBo)

Thanks for the offer, but I'm even thicker than Sporting when it comes to computer technology. And video conferences remind me of my old job. And, because I've not been for a haircut since Christ knows when, I currently look like a grumpy Highland cow.

I was thinking about this earlier. When I spoke to willie I was on my iPhone. This afternoon I tested it on the Mac desktop and it was fine. Except I was looking at myself. So basically anyone can drop in whenever they want.
ad hoc for example doesn’t need to wait till his 11pm just because that’s when I happen to be getting up - the call is live and if someone else is on earlier, all good.
willie1foot is that correct? Plus I suppose it has to finish at some point for the good of your Zoom account.
Finally, if anyone didn’t get my PM with the Zoom link, let me know.

My Zoom account is unlimited use, so no issue as far as that is concerned.

I'm not sure that's what 'the boss' intended when he left you in charge of social media operations while he headed off to some godforsaken sand dune for a staring contest with the Danish Coastguard, but there's no reason he should ever find out, right?
Does he really style himself 'Graf von Treibeis' on the company stationery?
