So is the day and hour of this really imminent? Can someone post a summary of the final details?

Sent in my information to ACL - this is quite exciting. Almost like we'll be hosting a Let the Right One In podcast of sorts. Someone will need to come up with an appropriately humorous title for the recording when it's all said and done.

Donald. If UTC is old GMT, I'm at UTC -5. That is, (US) Eastern Time Zone. Noon in Greenwich is 7 AM in Atlanta.

I didn't get set up for Skype (yet). Anyway, I'm giving an 8-hour lecture that day, the third in a marathon of 4 lectures. (I'm dancing as fast as I can.)

I look forward to hearing how it goes. And listening to it later, if possible. MP3?

Edit: This is my 3005th post. The milestone slipped up on me. I and eight others are in the 3000 club. Not even dreaming about the 4000 club (there are two in it). A_C_L is the sole member of the 5000-club. :D

I believe that EEA is in the same time zone as Pete and I: UTC - 8 (ignoring Daylight Stupid Time).

I would be happy if someone could record and upload the skype conversation, on youtube maybe. :wub:

EEA wrote:Saturday or Sunday is fine. I can during the morning from 6:00 am to 12pm or later at night at around 11 pm.
Here is a summary of the participants and their time zones:

ACL UTC - 5 (EST)
gkmoberg1 UTC - 5 (EST)
SpartanAltego UTC - 5 (EST)
Nightrider UTC - 6 (CST)
EAA UTC - 8 (PST)
PeteMork UTC - 8 (PST)
Wolfchild UTC - 8 (PST)
ltroifanatic UTC + 10 (AEST)

Unfortunately, EAA, if we cannot start until 11 p.m. PST, it means that half the participants (ACL, gkmoberg1, SpartanAltego and Nightrider) will be forced to do this at 1 or 2 a.m. in the morning of Sunday, Dec. 10. Since many of us have families and other responsibilities, it would be helpful if you and the the members on the West Coast (PST) could start earlier . . . say, 8 p.m. PST. If that were possible, the schedule would look as follows:

EAA - 8 pm PST
PeteMork - 8 pm PST
Wolfchild - 8 pm PST
Nightrider - 10 pm CST
ACL - 11 pm EST
gkmoberg1 - 11 pm EST
SpartanAltego - 11 pm EST
ltroifanatic - 12/10 at 3 pm AEST

Everyone, please let me know if this is a manageable schedule, or if you have other suggestions.

Luckily, I have no obligations on the coming Sunday so if indeed we must begin at a late hour I will still be happy to participate. I'll just go to bed a little early so I can be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for the viewing.
