Just testing stuff ahead of the 6 month call tonight… anyone fancy following this link and letting me know if you can see/take part/etc?!
So, it looks as though that’s view only… how about this?

Haia Aran, just letting you know that the call stays even after you leave
No way?! What, you were still on with Iestyn? That’s kind of odd, Google!
Yup
Almost as worrying as you being able to mute me!
O, a gyda llaw… The broadcast on youtube shows Peter the entire time instead of doing the switching around thing.
Oh dear, that’s extremely disconcerting!
Nevermind! It switches at some point, but still doesn’t do the switching-around-based-on-the-loudness thing…
Oh, that @PeterG! [Aran slowly joins the dots…;-)]
I think that the final cut shows the focus changing to whoever I’d been switching it to, so it does seem it would be worth chopping and changing a bit there after all…
Blydi hel, Pete, ti’n deall yn wych! Llongyfarchiadau mawr iawn!
If you go to 20.40 for a few seconds from there on, you see the camera switching as I say ‘Ifan, Milla…’ - so that seems to be what’s happening…
Yeah, just got to that part
Don’t lose any sleep over it, though - it’s not a particularly valuable video in and of itself (although it was HUGELY helpful to me - diolch yn fawr iawn to you all!) - so I’ll be deleting it pretty soon…
Ie, dyna fi, @aran! The joys of ‘working’ from home enabled me to join in! Diolch am y ganmoliaeth(?).
Understanding is one thing - stage fright seemed to empty my brain of anything to actually say in Welsh!
That’s a relief!
That’s par for the course - you’ll break through it pretty comprehensively the first time you get a chance for a 1-on-1 chat for two or three hours…
On second thought, maybe I should leave it up there, as a little footnote in the history of SSiW…

Practising speaking more is definitely on my agenda this year! (@Novem and @philipnewton have already kindly indulged me for a couple of shaky Skype chats, plus i’ve dialled into a couple of @ramblingjohn’s Skype groups). But talking Welsh for 2 to 3 hours would probably send me into meltdown at this stage!

Aarrgghhh!!!
I would expect the brain melt to kick in after about 40 to 60 minutes - but the time you spend beyond that, punch-drunk, can do seriously magical stuff…
I must try it!
