(Matt's Section) Week 1 Meeting Time

Go back to: General discussion

Hi everyone.  We need to come up with a time for our course to meet on a weekly basis for about one hour.  Unfortunately, I live in one of the strangest timezones in the world.  I also have a full time job.  Put those together, and we'll have an interesting time coming up with a time we can all meet.  Please highlight all the times you could possibly meet here: http://whenisgood.net/4ap4ab7.

I'll announce the time that we'll be holding the first meeting.  It will be in the chat room for the course.  That's the "Chat" link at the top of the page.  More details on that to come.

- Matt

Please check the participant list (http://p2pu.org/webcraft/introduction-php/document/participant-list), and make sure you are in my Section before responding. This form is only for members of my section.

If you are in another section, your facilitator should make an announcement soon about when and where your first meeting will be.

Hey Matt,

I’m getting the same (410) error immediately on page load now - before it was only on submit :-/ I’ve been trying at various times throughout the day with the same result.

My user name is kelbon

I’m in BC (West coast of Canada) - Pacific Standard Time (UTC -8).

In my time zone, I’m usually available all day Saturday (8 am – 8 pm) and on Sundays from 8 am to 3 pm (with the last hour in each case being the last time I would be able to begin the 1 hour meeting). The complicating factor is that I have just started a job and I am sometimes scheduled to work weekends. So even if you can accommodate these times, I won’t always be available to attend unfortunately. I will do my best to work to the class meeting time if possible. Sunday morning starting at 9 am is probably always good for me. But obviously many people need to be accommodated!

Thanks a lot Matt. I’m really looking forward to being in this course!!

Kellie

Hi Kellie,

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble using whenisgood.net. I believe the time range you mentioned overlaps with at least one of the popular times I'm considering so far. Please try one more time tomorrow to submit your availability. Rest assured that no matter the result, I'll take your the times you mention into account.

Hi,

I think I know whats the problem here. I think kelly's browser is installed with some kinda addon or something like that which prevents session id's in first click.
I suggest to use another browser. Opera will be my next choice :)

Thanks for the suggestion, Tousif. I've been using Google Chrome on whenisgood.net without problem.

Tousif, you were right! Funny thing is I thought to try Chrome before reading these last few messages, and it worked, and then I get back here and see that you've suggested it! Great minds think alike ;-)

Looking at the information that's been submitted, it looks like I'm going to be holding the Week 1 session at two different times this weekend. Feel free to attend either one, or both (if you want to meet everyone!).

The first time is Saturday, January 29 at 9AM HST (http://goo.gl/cbU5y).

The second time is Sunday, January 30 at 5PM HST (http://goo.gl/o6pcu).

According to the data I see on whenisgood.net, this should cover everyone.

I will repost this information to the section's Google Group. If you're in my section, you should join it asap if you haven't already: http://groups.google.com/group/intro2php-matt-2011-01.
