Joe Muscara Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Do you cats want to do it? If so, when? We could even plan a couple of them, one around Christmas and one the week after, before New Year's. If we firm up a date, I'll post the info in the thread or even in this post and adjust the title.

SamuelBLupowitz Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I'm off work Christmas through New Years, so I'd love to hop in, since I keep missing them! Both holidays fall on Fridays, so maybe we should aim for the Saturday/Sunday after? I could jump on one midweek as well, but I'm not sure how that works for other folks. Quote Samuel B.

S_Gould Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 My schedule is pretty oddball, but I always try to pop in anytime people are congregating in the Zoom. How about just leaving the invitation open for the next 2 holiday weekends and people can post their presence (or anticipation of) in this thread. Since we are scattered throughout the continents, any kind of firm schedule will be impossible or inconvenient for some. Just log in when you can, and check whenever. If we all (those of us who are so inclined, that is) just keep the Zoom window active in the background when we're online, you never know who you might meet. ð Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 Well, as usual, the hang is always open even right now. But if we don't kinda tell people when we're having it, they don't know when to log in. I mean that if we want to chat right now, we can, but if I don't say that I will be there at 8 am CT, no one else logs in. So, it seems we have to generally set up times. I was hoping you guys would have ideas. I think I'd like to say we start on the Eves (both Thursdays) and it will be open all weekend (both weekends) so people can do whatever works for them. Post in this thread if you want to let people know you're in there. We'll use the following Zoom meeting link: https://cornell.zoom.us/j/94185593517 or you can enter the meeting ID 941 8559 3517 upon firing up Zoom. You will need a password to enter because bots like to scrape the internet for open Zoom meeting links and ruin everyone's day. The password is "clonk" with a capital C and a zero in place of the letter o. Does that work for everyone? Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Christmas Week: Thursday 24 - Sunday 27 New Year's Week: Thursday 31 - Sunday 3 Let's say we start each Thursday around Noon Eastern time, which should be early enough for those in the Europes. For those Down Under, please do me a favor and tell me when you think you'll be on, I always love to catch you guys but it takes a special effort. And S_Gould, I'll look for you around midnight my time! Feel free to let us know when you're on. Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

S_Gould Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 It occurs to me that for as long as Samuel is willing to keep the meeting open, it might be worth making a link thread in the stickies at the top of the forum. Then anyone could post notice/invitation to others whenever, and we wouldn't need to make a new thread for special occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then anyone could post notice/invitation to others whenever, and we wouldn't need to make a new thread for special occasions. I will do that but some people are in the habit of ignoring the Sticky threads after a while. For one of the virtual hangs, I experimented with putting the "special event" thread at the top as a sticky thread and a few people said they never saw it until I unstuck it.
