Online meetup? May 9/2020 Saturday 10AM?

[YYCHM]

We need a tour of the @kevin.decelles compound @RobinHood had a two car garage full of machines he was restoring when I was last there , and a mill that would knock your socks off. A video tour would be entertaining...… What about a live video demo of @CalgaryPT 's RC lawn mower and a shop tour?

Video is the only way to get a tour of that shop, it’s like a mine, there is a place to walk but the work is on the wall

may Long I won’t be participating, might do the 9th though, I could possibly host a work spaces segment, or work on getting my foundry going for it .... if I can figure out a suitable observation location

 

[kevin.decelles]

John, I can do a quick compound tour and I have some works in progress that I can show (sand muller / vert bandsaw)

Woops i thought may long was the next weekend because in Ontario we call it the may two for weekend. I can do the 24th.

ok I think Kevin and I can do the 9th and Alex can do 24th - and I'll see if I can rope in another for the 24th.

 

[Janger]

ok I have a number of people signed up in the Discord forum - I'll host a brief test at 2PM Today Sunday May 3 - hopefully some people can sign in and we can check multiple people video cast.

Looks like you need to issue a new invite. This https://discord.gg/2Jbj3Z appears to have expired.

I'd say the test went well. I had great AV. Need to find a camera and mic I guess. I wonder if Best Buy is open these days?

ok let me see if I can get set up with a trial video chat with @Janger or Craig, early next week perhaps...

there is a new addition to “feed the monster” ( to quote James Kilroy)... it is a hefty one...

@YYCHobbyMachinist Memory express is open, and it is where I bought my USB camera./mic. Most of their web cams are out of stock, so 7$ is their cheapest option. Try London Drugs as an alternate supplier.

Where are you seeing a $7 webcam? The least expensive one I found on the BB website is $25 and that's a back order item. Memory Express appeared to be sold out of everything. Webcams must be a hot item these days. Haven't checked London Drugs.

 

[Dabbler]

oops. I thought I pressed the zero. correction: 70$

 

[Dabbler]

70$ is the cheapest anywhere.

 

[YYCHM]

70$ is the cheapest anywhere.

That sounds about right and I'm kind of surprised they are that expensive. The least expensive I found on Amazon was $15, but I wouldn't see it until June.

In any event, I just realized the wife's laptop has a camera and mic. I'll use that for the 9th meetup.

@Janger Got this strange Discord email. Any idea what this is about????

Hey YYCHM,
Discord was poppin off while you were away! Here's some highlights:

Just on a ladder right now​

 

[Janger]

I think you tried to voice chat with me on discord - it actually rang my phone and yes I was up on a ladder in the shed so I didn't answer.

 

[Crosche]

Count me in on a virtual meeting. I use Discord for gaming voice chat; I wasn't aware that it supported video as well.
