<p>Hi Hartmut,</p>
<p>Please know that what I said to Michael applies to you just the
same. Send me a private message through Jitsi, an e-mail to <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:alberto@abrao.net">alberto@abrao.net</a>,
or just a text message to - or call - 204-558-6886.</p>
<p>Also, if any of you - or both - are willing, we can schedule a
time for a quick meeting to sort these issues out together.<br>
</p>
<p>We want to make sure everyone can join our virtual gatherings,
especially now that it looks like we will be doing them
electronically for... well, the foreseeable future, I guess. :S</p>
<p>:)<br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br>
Alberto Abrao<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>

all, especially Michael, you are not the only one. I was
largely unsuccessful too. First, the login seemed to want
to fail, but succeeded after some time, and then, the whole
first part of the meeting ("show your gadgets") was a
disaster, with only about 10-20% of the (broken) audio and
video getting through. The second part (calendar topic) was
somewhat better, with about 30-40% of the (broken) audio and
video getting through. The third part (final informal round
table) was similar, but my numerous attempts to join that
discussion all failed. Nobody even heard me trying to
speak. (Yes, I did at that time have my mic turned on for
whole minutes at a time.) It just wasn't a "real time"
experience at all.<br>

couldn't totally rule out my 11-year-old laptop being
insufficient for this, but now I see I'm not the only one.
I was using MS Edge (newest Chromium-based one) for this,
for two reasons. First, I was too afraid to upset my normal
(totally up-to-date) Firefox, where I always have lots of
important things open. Secondly, though Firefox is my main
browser, I have learned that certain things tend to freeze
or crash my Firefox, and a Chromium-based browser does much
better on those things. Also, Firefox is terrible at
freeing up memory and whatever else when I've used (and
later closed) a lot of tabs.<br>

<br>
Am I the only one who had a jitsi failure last night?
After a bit of<br>
a struggle just to log in, there was no way I could
get the audio<br>
to work. I've never had a problem for previous
meetings. Too bad<br>
I'm not a lip reader. I could see them moving. Was our
attendance <br>
lower that what might be expected?<br>
<br>
While I'm here: it's dues-paying time for me. Do we
have inteac e-transfers<br>
set up for our banking. I could make the direct
deposit and avoid any<br>
fees being charged to MUUG.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Michael<br>
