Where: On your computing device. Anything with a Zoom client. https://zoom.us/download - You probably want "Zoom Client for Meetings" or "Zoom Mobile Apps".

When: Saturday April 13 2024 @ 1700 PDT / 2000 EDT / 2130 NDT - We will likely go quite late, typically ending after 0100 PDT.

The link will be the same every week. We don't need a list, many people will be here. Just add your name if you want the link PM'd to you around 1630 PDT before the do.

Suggestion: Please include your forum handle (and optionally your name) when logging onto Zoom.

Please send me the same link as last week:

Okay so this week we're going to be controlling attendance based on "factors such as gender, age, number of posts or location."

I am not going to be the one to set a precedent

This is getting complicated. My lawyer may not allow me to attend.

I thought attendance is based on zone numbers. Then again like a commuter flight you might have too many zone 1s and 2s.

With no BPs to scan, IDs to check, or carry-ons to stow, boarding for the Do is very fast

I am too tempted to post this. I thought canadiancow side this is an overbooked flight (zoom conference) no?

Just to pre-empt the usual texts/e-mails about whether/when I'm joining, I have another virtual drinks event starting at the same time as the FT event this week, but it will last nowhere near as long, so I'll join when that's done

I feel like I've been joining (and leaving) too early the past couple weeks and missed out on all the real fun parts. Will likely partake in a later slot this Saturday.

Now this is what I like to hear! The kind of enthusiasm we need from everyone!

I don't think we've crossed paths yet, have we? If not, you've definitely been leaving very ​​​​​​​early

I think you're right. I've typically attended this before another weekly virtual gathering with friends on Saturdays. Will switch it around tomorrow! Hope to see you on.

If it's still going at 6am pacific, I may make an appearance. But probably not.

I don't think we've ever gone that long, but never say never.

Not that I expect to be unavailable any Saturday in the foreseeable future, but I'd hate to fall asleep or something and have 15 people waiting for me to click a button.
If you haven't got an answer, I'm happy to test for you. Send me an invite. I'll sign on without you and keep it going in the background and see if I get booted.
