Hi,

Is the meeting room and zen hall working okay at the moment? I could see myself or any chat box.

Many thanks,

Paul

Re: Pre-Announcement: The Always Open Zazen Cafe

http://www.mebeam.com (the site that provides the video conferencing) is currently down.
I have no other information as to when it might come back.

In the mean time, continue to sit zazen

Edit 10:25pm - appears to be back online.

Grrrrr... re-organised the computer to do my sit tonight (8pm london) but then mebeam went down just before it

Hey ho, will see if it's working tomorrow night same time.

Re: Pre-Announcement: The Always Open Zazen Cafe

Schedule is looking a little bare these days, I know mebeam can be kind of flaky sometimes but go for it anyway

My computer crashes just about every time I use the Zendo with my camera so I'm going to use an avatar until I can update it. It's about time for a new one anyway. :wink:

Re: Pre-Announcement: The Always Open Zazen Cafe

Hoping to book an evening session once we've cracked our new routine with Clare back at work and me being the home Dad with Beren.

With a bit of luck I'll pop in while he's asleep in the day.

Do be disheartened Skye, it's still a great thing and all credit to you for sorting it.

In gassho, Kev

Re: Pre-Announcement: The Always Open Zazen Cafe

I have similar problems to Kev. I too have strange time randomness with a young child. When I sit I do use the hall
but don't often mark it in the schedule in case I can't make it or have to go early. I don't want to book and not turn up.
I do think it will be beneficial to get more structure so am working on a random sit during the day and a fixed one at night. I will try and post the night sit.

It is working well. Just in a silent way without bells, Adhans or flashing lights.

Re: Pre-Announcement: The Always Open Zazen Cafe

how's the "cafe" working? -- as a new guy, not even a week old, i've been trying to use it during my self-retreat (which is now over -- family returning) -- but i didn't see anyone scheduled cept charles (thanks for being there) -- are there people sitting but not scheduling? -- cause it looks real bare based on the schedule

i joined treeleaf primarily to have others to sit with, so i love this opportunity, want to take advantage of it -- but have to admit it would be nicer if it wasn't just me -- or maybe i'm not understanding the technology and lots of folks are out there

and did i miss a page, or is this the first post re:zen hall since may? -- people's posts sounded so enthusiastic back then

gassho, bob

Re: Pre-Announcement: The Always Open Zazen Cafe

I like the idea of the Zen Hall (and the Meeting Hall), but being new I haven't really felt ready to jump in as yet. I only figured out how to even enter either Hall a few days ago after I got my webcam working and even then I haven't been able to get in all the time. Are there defined rules/etiquette for each Hall?

Re: Pre-Announcement: The Always Open Zazen Cafe

I've just gotten lazy and things kept coming up making it hard to be on time (mostly computer issues). But, I've noticed that I didn't slack off nearly as much when I would commit to being in the Zen Hall so I think it is time for me to get back into the habit.

Thanks guys.
