[Nottingham] [Social] *Tomorrow* 7:30pm Thursday 09/04/2020: Socially Virtual!

[Martin]

Folks,

In these days of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the resultant COVID-19...

(See: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus )

We continue socially online!


Despite the 'lockdown' of most of The World, there's still lots
happening, and we still have food and beer and whatever other
beverages... And lots of good cheer...

And it's one of those alternate Thursdays!! :-)


Hence:

Connect online with yer webcams and mobile devices to:


*NLUG Goes Socially Virtual*

Come online for lots of stories to tell.

For my small part, I have a fun story of having been Poettering-ed for
the audio on this system... :-(

After overcoming multiple obfuscations, I do now have a webcam working
with audio :-) However, the story is not over :-(


And then there's various other ( :-P ) stories and observations of the
strange things people do in these 'strange' times... :-)


See y'all online.

Stay safe!
Martin
