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:

Very limited/temporary success starting things up in the air.

Turns out even a good VPN can't unblock zoom if in flight wifi is too crappy to download half a megabyte a minute. I'll be on the ground in an hour.

Got it up and running eventually, after an absolute cluster at YTS. @DrunkCargo is the captain for now.

AC or Gogo may now be blocking Zoom though.

A bunch of us are going to be in or heading to Europe this Saturday, so it might be a bit quieter, though hopefully someone's around who can start and maintain it.

I think I'll be around. Not going to YTS or anything stupid this Saturday.

We're close to saying these virtual DOs have spanned 3 calendar years.

​​​​​​3 rowdy faces checked in from a Newfoundland pico-DO in progress.

Although I think many other regulars are out of the country, if anyone is planning to join later feel free to PM or post a heads-up with approx time. Zoom auto ends after a period of inactivity which can get annoying.

I'm not sure whether that's sad or wonderful or some combination thereof.

I would say one of them was rowdy, and the other two were just having a good time

I'm extremely tempted to permanently ban those two Newfies from the virtual do for what they did last night.

Absolutely unacceptable behavior.

And I blame Adam too because why not.

I hope the NL crew at least had their clothes on. The Do was pretty chill while I was on.

Hold on now. I know they sent you some e-mails or Insta DMs or something from the restaurant. I think one of them later sent you a video. I don't know what else they might have done, but those are all I know about!

They called me around 0330 my time, in the middle of my short sleep between the shot bar and my early flight.

Yawn. Anyone planning to join today? For once I don't have anything specific going on this Saturday night.

I'm out for dinner, but would potentially join for an hour at the beginning of the usual Do time and/or later in the evening after I get back.
