CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 14years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Any interest in a virtual PY this Friday morning?
Options:
Discord - audio only, can be done browser only (I think) so no need to install anything if you don't have it. No idea about mobile versions.
Zoom - Video, needs an app, mobile versions available, high risk of Gembo's appearing in Rapha jammies.
Others?
Was going to suggest this myself! If someone has the paid version of zoom and can set up the meeting I think you can run Zoom in browser? Done that for external meetings (set up by them) at work...
I have Zoom installed for band practice tonight, not sure if that will work. We do have a time slot but I have not paid the band leader has paid
I would probably yes be in jammies at 8a.m. I have some good jacket matching trousers from Charles Tyrwhitt (sale) in fact like them so much bought another pair int he next sale. They start roomy but shrink or crease a little to a more normal size but way roomier than rapha. Also nice tartan dressing gown from, err, Boden (blown any chance of getting back to the class I came from now)
Google Hangout worked for us. Free, browser, Rapha jim-jams can be blurred out etc.
I was also going to suggest this - although I will now be putting all my effort into seeing that Gembo becomes a Boden model (cardigan and dressing gown section).
fancy dress or nuffin
“or nuffin”
You mean gembo saying he’s wearing a full set of Rapha clothes??
fancy dress or nuffin
I am holding you to this.
If folk have a Google account all that's needed is for the first person to post the Hangout conversation link here?
google hangouts are limited to 25 if using video. will that do us?
Gonna get pretty chaotic beyond 25. I mean who's chairing? @chdot?
does this work? It's the link i get now, but I can't see how to share it.
is the link fixed to me? https://hangouts.google.com/call/lXoG_zgfh9X4FCuaYHrfAEEI
It does but I just realised I don't have a mic hooked up.
"You're the first one here."
You are the only one here.
INVITE PEOPLE
Story of my life. Why would I invite people if have achieved solitude?
“You are the only one here” - I invited SRD and IWRATS as I have their emails
Says I need hangout app.
I was given choice to use hangout in browser or via app.
Will be hanging out at virtual PY tomorrow at 8am Coffee much better as it is an Ethiopian Fair Trader from Scotmid
zoom likely superior as a platform once beyond 10-15 people. Hangouts fine below this.
Just remember to mute between chats.
I'll join if I can.
We could break into n chats of 8? More realistic in any case.
Need to know emails to invite?? I know what your email was last summer
Algerian special for me.
I think the link I posted above works? and removes need for emails.
I went down that link and invited you SRD and Iwrats last night
Someone called David (nearly everyone on here) was in the call when I joined just there Sounded like he was having his tea? He did not appear to be able to hear me?
Yes... was having my tea and have just disabled the app! I couldn't really hear you @Gembo as Mrs LB was shouting at me ;-)
Not a total techophobe but I hate the phone listening in without warning!
point is, i think we can all just follow that link and join. friend of mine did this on paddy's day. global drinkalong. quite fun.
@laidback, what were you having for your tea?
Looks like might work tomorrow?
@gembo - veggie chilli - now having a Belhaven Black.
Astonishing we had veggie chilli too, with brown basmati rice. I had nanny state but think I’m going off it. Throat a little sore again so gargling with Whyte and Mackay
