SFSFC Live Webcam

Well, not really, but the Depot Cafe, which manages the Centerville station in whose meeting room SFSFC is meeting this morning, has several webcams. None of them point at the meeting room, although one of them is actually in our meeting room, although it's pointing out the window at the train platform. If you know exactly when something happened at the station, you can get a specific image, such as, say, this one.

Yes, our meeting room really is that close to the railroad tracks. That does mean that during a typical SFSFC meeting, we'll have an enforced break of a minute or so as a train passes, because it drowns out the speakerphone.

I hope the meeting goes well for you. It has to be interesting having a meeting at a railroad station.

Well, meeting rooms are meeting rooms. The room we're using used to be the freight office back when this was a full blown train station. The room has lots of railroad-related decoration, but is otherwise not especially exciting. But it works pretty well for our group. Pausing for trains to pass now and then is not too much trouble. We need a better speakerphone, however; the one we have is not really suitable for groups of twelve like us. It would work better with a group of six or four huddled in a circle around it in an acoustically buffered room.
