Schools closed for the remainder of the year in PA.

Off to drop groceries for my mother in law.

Officially they're closed here until May 6, but only a moron would expect them to reopen.

I'm an idiot, not a moron. ;)

Home schooling via Zoom.

Seems to work OK...the platform is stressed right now so there's some lag, but it's what's available.

We've been using Google Hangouts but that only works between Gmail accounts. I think.

That's an option, but is more difficult, maybe impossible, to have multiple participants.

It's complicated with Zip.

Mrs ML has used Hangouts for 12 people with an enterprise version and the normal old one she did a virtual knitting thing with 6 of her friends. But I don't know how.

All I know is I need to learn zoom so I can connect with a customer next week. He wants to talk about a sizable project.

I could probably figure it out, but some of the teachers...one in particular...is really technologically challenged.

Zoom is easy. Download it to your laptop, and send a meeting link via email. Of course devices at both ends need it installed.

I'll volunteer to practice with you if you want.

I may take you up on that.

Looking more and more like virtual Dimby would be the ticket this year so we'll have to come up with something [beer]

Let me know.

Yeah, no way that DIMBY falls under the category of social distancing.

You can set up your camper in your driveway, and I can set myself on fire while Jonas and Dan look guilty. [laugh] [laugh]
