Up for a Hanging Out in Google Hangout? #2

Week nights seem workable for the four of us at least.

Easiest way to make it happen is to propose a time, e.g. August 23rd at 6pm (9) Pacific.

August 23rd at 6PM EST (9 PST) sounds good to me!!! Shall we make that the meetup time?

Only 6pm EST is 3pm PST :thinking:

Hahaha. I thought my notation was a bit ambiguous but Kirupa’s really takes the cake.

I dont use hangouts how do you join the call, an email invite?

Truthfully, I’ve never even heard of Google Hangout. But I’m looking forward to our meeting at 6 PM MST (10 AM EST).

A hangout can be a skype-like call, or it can be as simple as sharing a link with someone like Adobe Connect (if you’ve ever used that). It runs as a standalone app (devices) or directly in a browser on your computer. Pretty simple stuff.

Sigh. My brain is more fried these days than usual. 9PM EST / 6PM PST, right? This is going to be awesome! :slight_smile:

Tbo - do you have a gmail account? If so, you can just e-mail me at [email protected] and we can easily add-you/send-an-invite to the chat session!

Yup.

I’ll be about 15 min late. I also have to prepare a presentation for tomorrow so I’ll be intermittently working in that whilst we are hanging out.

I am about 15 minutes early, so that balances itself out haha :stuck_out_tongue:

Alright, cool, glad we can steal some of your time.

Kirupa; are you hosting?

No no you’re not stealing my time! I want to chat, I just foolishly left this to last minute as usual. It won’t take long any ways, I basically just have to put some pictures in a PowerPoint and figure out what I need to say about them.

tbo: don’t know what happened but we got disconnected. :frowning:

We should do this again some time, it was fun to talk to everyone.

That was super great. Glad to see that we all have good kF memories. Also pretty funny that every single one of us had some random audio/video/connection/camera-angle issue at some point. Hangouts was probably the right choice, but wow it’s far from perfect.

Oh my god when I first got on it was impossible to hear anyone. Even after that I was having a hard time.

Wait is this true? Thibault Imberts name is pronounced “tbo” ?!?

Said right in the beginning by Louis ck!

I think it sounds a bit different when pronounced with full French nuance, but yes!

Thibault’s a cool guy too. I worked with him a lot on Flash and he was trying to get me to be a product manager too but I eventually gave up on that (too much dealing with people, not enough dealing with code). He’s a fan of good butter and making bread. How French of him. Tea-Bo Em-Bear.
