For a first run, I think that went really well!

Thanks to everyone who attended. It was fun to finally put some faces to names, even virtually.

Let's plan on doing this again!

(I'll have the meet video up and ready soon for those who missed out, and those who want to re-live.)

Going forward I could see us doing these regularly, and even hosting AMA (Ask Me Antything) chats.

Heck, I wouldn't even mind a "peskydonut and Coffee Hour" with you as the host. :lol:

This is the virtual background I was using at times. Posted here since it was somewhat hard to make out during the chat.

Bummed I missed out. I tried at 6:45 but couldn't get on and then my daughter puked on me so I couldn't try again. I guess it's good you guys didn't see that. I'll be at the next one.

This may be pure madness or boredom, but I'll toss out an idea for a future meetup: a group deal hunt.

(insert some "pack hunter" pun that I'm too tired to make)

Maybe a bit of both....great idea though. We could also take the challenges to another level with a set of “real-time” challenges...

Like Linda Richman and Coffee Talk!



It was really good to meet you all. Looking forward to the next one. Many thanks to the mods and [mention]peskydonut[/mention] for making it happen.

[mention]Split-Time[/mention] and [mention]Stretch44[/mention] - Sorry you missed it! [mention]Stretch44[/mention] Hope your daughter felt better soon after.

[mention]jcombs1[/mention] Welcome back haha I once had a Damasko DA44 on bracelet and I totally know what you mean about it having the ability to put one's off other watches.

By my recollection, at most we had 14 on.
No major glitches overall, but [mention]pgcity[/mention] did seem to have slight issues joining in.

Otherwise things looked and sounded smooth compared to other video conferencing systems I've used.
