I keep missing virtual meetups because, quite frankly I often forget what day of the week and month of the year it is. It's always just been 'now' for me, and everything not 'now' was 'the other day'. True story. It can be a bitch but it's how I am. Family constantly bugs me about being on Randy-standard-time.
aaanyway...
What
about a continuous zoom meeting that any halfbaker can join anytime? Even if the room is empty for periods of time.
Some of us are on opposite sides of the planet so there should always be somebody logged on to see what's up on halfzoomery at any given hour.
Can't sleep at two in the morning?
Get to talk with halbakers you wouldn't normally get to meet if it weren't for the insomnia.
Flip those negatives on their heads!

Off-topic, I was just looking for that stop-motion video of you at
work on some flooring - could you remind me which idea that
was attached to? |

Maybe everything should be like this now. For instance,
buying stuff online misses all of the social interaction of
being in a store. Just zoom into your local hardware store,
chat with a few people (an employee if available, or maybe
just other customers) about how to fix your sprinkler
system, and end up buying the right stuff (or the wrong
stuff, or maybe just different stuff than you would have
bought). |

Or zoom into your local pub. Ok you can't really buy a beer
online, but talking with random people that live nearby
may be most of the reason you go there anyway. |

um, stupidly attached to my Sandroomba posting. [link]
This and any future archives will get a link in;
"I've never met a halfbaker I didn't like". |

I like this. It would be useful for workplaces where
everyone is now working from home to have such a
virtual space where people can go and relax and
see who wants a chat - like a break room |
|
| |
Yep. Direct linking and open access is the ticket. |

Funnily enough, I've met you [2fries] - but never met
[pertinax] who lives in the same city as me. |
|

This will be a bit unfair on 'bakers like [wjt], who struggles to pass the Turing Test even on a simple text-only asynchronous system... |

Cool videos, Randy. Dates would be welcome, though, and add a bit of context, especially for those of us who have toured the "Zombie Mall". (Just how much snow was there in that second video?) |

Did you get the hole in the roof patched? I think I've got an old 12'x12' blue tarp I could mail off to you. : P |

Will it be possible to tell this apart from the Horror
Channel? |

Watched the vids [2fries]. I currently live on the other side
of the planet, air travel is shut-down, a pandemic has closed
borders, BUT someday, I vow that I shall stand in that orange
room. (You know, after all the work is done). |
