You can now see videos of all four WSFS Business Meeting made by Lisa Hayes (not official video shot by the convention) on our 2024 Worldcon Business Meeting Playlist.

As you will see, the final (Day 4, Monday) meeting consists of eight files while the other days are one long file each. For the first three days, I was able to combine the raw video out of the camera and compile it into a single file. This shrinks the file size and makes it easier to upload. However, my personal laptop has gone from having a complaining fan to refusing to boot at all, so it looks like it is hors de combat until I get home. That's the computer with Premiere Pro on it, so unless I happen to get to a machine with Premiere on it, I won't be able to do anything about this until next month.

The internet connectivity in the Crowne Plaza went from bad to worse, to the point where I could barely get any connection at all. Cheryl Morgan helped me out by letting me take the Monday files over to her hotel (which had fairly fast connections) and upload them. It took about five or six hours.

I'm sitting in the Crowne Plaza lobby where the connections are faster, albeit still not very good, to compose this entry. I'm sorry I wasn't able to write further reports about Glasgow 2024 due to the twin issues of connectivity and available computer equipment.

On Wednesday, Lisa heads off on her two-month Eurail pass trip (basing herself out of Munich), while I'll be in Wales for a few weeks riding trains, but mostly working remotely during the week as I'm nearly out of time off. Updates may be sporadic.
