We will use the Zoom platform for this DO and the link will be distributed shortly before we begin. Please add your name to the wiki above if you plan to attend, will attempt to join, or will only join us in spirit(s) - or leave a comment asking someone else to add you if you are unable to edit the wiki.

Be there or be sober!

several of the regulars will be in ANC, but that probably won't deter some or all from joining (after all, it'll be earlier than usual

)

I was supposed to go as well! That would have been fun, a Drunk DO from Alaska. Unfortunately I couldn't swing three entire weekends in a row out of town.

No... The webcam works alright as a photo camera, but it just does not like being used on Zoom. I am unsure if its a fault on the camera or the webcam just can't handle zoom as it works just perfect on Messenger video chats

My webcam is the same one since I bought this Windows 7 x64 computer nine years ago. I think it is USB 2.0. I can't tell for sure because its support elements are mostly in Japanese. It is a standalone webcam. I can move it, although not easily. (Consider my forays to show you when Mirko decides to sit on the bed behind me.)
The 'advantage' I now have is that my internet connection is 1GB Fiber, which tends to overcome any difficulties involving flickering | buffering.
What is your connection speed?

We are less than a week away from the DO! Please continue to use the wiki to sign up.

I will not be staying late this time as I have a very early flight the following morning. I suppose this may be another instance of where I win the DO if I make it to the airport in time, but that is never guaranteed
