Too many are bailing, methinks. We'll look into an alternative date. How's next weekend look?

Sorry guys, was my birthday weekend. Maybe next weekend? I'm working mostly every day on SQ4, finishing the overdue beta.

Next weekend I'll be in Texas! If I can find a wifi hotspot, I might be able to join in on Sunday.

Sunday the 16th is the new date everyone will learn to love. How many are loving it so far?

Sounds good, Torls. :) Danke.

 

Sam: Any chance of being in OK?

Nope, just San Antonio, TX from Thursday through Monday, though my flight lays over in Atlanta for 45 minutes each ways.

What time are things getting underway on Sunday?

 

Jess

Right. We're on for Sunday the 16th! This Sunday, that is.

 

I propose we do it at the same time as the last hangout, meaning:

 

2.00pm Eastern

11.00am Pacific

8pm Denmarkian

 

If you want to know what time that is for you, check out this neat trick I stole from Jess.

 

How many are loving that so far?

Also, can I get an amen from everyone interested?

 

Spikey, did you say last weekend was your birthday weekend, or this weekend?

 

PCJ, are you up for it?

 

Ferde, how's your participation looking?

 

Wolfgang, you ready to leap into the obscene fray?

 

Dat Engineer is apparently off the map, but any chance of a pop-in?

 

Jess seems to be cool -- as usual. :)

Hmm, even I might make it. Woo!

I'm in. Not sure if I can stay the entire time, but I'll give it my best shot.

 

Has anyone invited any Andromedan celebrities?

 

Jess

I probably can't. RL is super busy and hectic right now.

No celebs invited yet, but I'll yank The Pope's chain and see what happens.

I'll try hosting it this time, so if you haven't added 2GFA to your circles yet, you can do so here: gplus.to/rogerwilco

 

Finger's crossed it works this time. ;)

I might show up, yeah.

Someone check PCJ's vocabulary unit. I think it's stuck in a loop.

I'll try to pop in for a bit, but it's hectic here right now so it'll depend on how much peace and quiet I have.

Birthday was Sept 8th, so last weekend. :) I was busy with the family sort of stuff (mainly taking phone calls from 9000 miles away!).

 

It starts Tulsa time 1:00pm, so hopefully I can make it. Just gotta figure out how to make a 'Hangout' work.

 

(BTW, I have this issue on this forum where when i write a post, my text doesn't show up, so I have to highlight to read what I wrote.. any suggestions? I'm using IE8.)

I'm using IE8.

Just glancing at it that's the first issue I could imagine. Either upgrade to IE9 (or another browser) or try compatibility mode.

It works like Skype, except better. ;)

 

Seriously. I see you've already added me on G+ -- that means you should see an invitation to hang out when it starts. If for some reason you don't see an invitation, you should see a status update that so-and-so are "hanging out" with a big green "Join" button next to it.

 

Right, I'm off experimenting to see if the 2GFA page will actually let me host a Hangout the way I want it to. ;)

Well, a short experiment later, and it seems to work. I can start a Hangout from the 2GFA page, and even send it to YouTube as well. Oh, glory days!

 

Spikey, my good man, add this to your circles and I'll make you part of the VIP crowd. (The Hangout will be live for anyone on 2GFA's circles.)

Thanks Troels.

 

@ Pcj:

Compatibility mode doesn't work, and I'm running XP, so I can't use IE9. Surely there's a workaround for such a small problem?

Maybe, but I don't have IE8/XP to test with.

Wow, that was fun! It was great hanging out and playing some classic games together.

 

So, when's the fifth Hangout, and what's the theme? ;)

 

Jess

It was fun watching you guys :) That was without a doubt, one of the finest examples of monolith burger assembling, that I have ever seen.
