Annoyingly, both the Guardian and the ABC posted articles about Zoom's security, or lack thereof, with a truly annoying headline in the Guardian saying "Zoom is malware". Just because it doesn't encrypt all the traffic doesn't make it malware. It makes it a risky proposition if you're using it for Board Meetings in a multi-million dollar company, but not if you're transmitting classes to a dozen or so people, which will be of little or no interest to anyone else.
End of rant, but it's made a lot of extra work for me and my team, answering anxious emails and writing pieces called "Keep Calm and Zoom On".
When not on U3A things, we have continued to phone and email friends and rels, and receive same.
Today we decided we were close enough to the end to risk going into the guest wing next door, making all the beds and clearing out the fridge, so it is now ready for guests, if we're ever allowed to have any again.
We have had a succession of birthday gifts for Peter dropped on the doorstep today - oddly enough they all seem to contain food items and a bottle (or two). Just when we were wondering whether the stocks in the house would last until we can safely go visit our wine store. Thanks to all, very welcome.
Tomorrow is Peter's big day, and we're Zooming from 10:00 until 19:00. A marathon. Just as well it's also the end of daylight saving - we may need that extra hour of sleep.
A couple of things to share:
Donald Trump says no one could have expected this:
