    Re: Online Meetings Sunday

    Aww! Yeah, I think I know what happened. It's that darn dateline, and believe me, this is a concern to me. Even among navigation enthusiasts, it's an easy mistake to make when there's nothing mission-critical on the line. You may have noticed that I added a "convert time" link, but that's just a stopgap. Anyway, the early or "Atlantic" session is just over twelve hours from now at 1:00pm Eastern US time (1700 UT), and the later or "Pacific" session is just over eighteen hours from now. That later session will be at 7:00om Eastern or 2300 UT on Sunday, July 5 Greenwich date, which is Monday early morning in your corner of the world.

    I have had people attending my workshops from that part of the world, so I have become accustomed to the time difference. It's quite a global group: Czechia, Netherlands, England, Ireland Brazil, Antigua, Newfoundland, Bermuda, all across the continental US, Guam, New Zealand, Australia... Not all at once, of course! And I don't know who will regularly attend these Sunday "office hours" sessions, but I'm game to seed it and discover what grows. I have every intention of hosting these sessions through the end of the summer, and they will occur at the same time (I hope) so you can plan for them.

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
