From the latest Thunderbolts update newsletter:
WAL THORNHILL VIDEO CONFERENCE LIVE
Saturday morning, November 27, Australian physicist Wal Thornhill, the leading proponent of the "Electric Universe" hypothesis, will present an updated overview. The event is sponsored by the Natural Philosophy Alliance.
The presentation will last two hours and will include plenty of time for questions and answers.
There are no special requirements or downloads needed to attend the conference, which is free and open to all. A live "chat" (keyboard style) will run concurrently with the presentation, and all attendees can use this function to pose questions or offer comments.
When: Saturday, November 27, 7:00am US Pacific Time.
Where: Just go to
http://live.worldsci.org about 10 minutes before start time, to ensure a place. "Room" name is "dehilster." Places will be limited to the first 100 attendees. Once at the conference site just enter your name in the box and click OK, and you'll be in.
First come first served, so don't be late!
Just a note, real names are preferred at NPA video conferences. Even a first name followed by a 'screen-name' is preferred to just a pseudonym.
Cheers, Dave Smith.

I'll probably be there like the last one.

Thanks Dave, that's a great opportunity to ask questions. Ill bet this is going to be a very interesting conference!

Good Conference!
For those of us that missed some (or all) will it be available online somewhere?

Agreed Scott. it was an excellent presentation.
Usually the NPA video conferences are recorded and available within hours. But the recordings are held on dimdim's servers (dimdim provide the service) and they limit the space so there may have been an issue there which is as yet unresolved, but I cannot be certain. Let's keep fingers and toes crossed that a recording will soon be available, it will be worth the wait.
Cheers, Dave.

We should probably get a screen recorder on these in future, dim dim seems to get buggy?
ie: Next time, any user logs in, hits 'screen-record', saves to local disk, then uploads to xyz. Run it all past Daves@NPA so it's all cocher.

Just to clarify, I think Jim means the word starts with a "k", not a "c", and not that it is kosher to actually do what's been suggested. That's an issue I'm still unsure of at this stage, we still don't know what the NPA is doing about it's storage limit on dim dim.
Cheers, Dave.
