Still trying to get #sonTwo and #Daddy_A together to test multipoint videochat and audiochat on #Wire, #Jitsi_Meet, #Nextcloud_Talk (whenever I get that one set up). So far, I have one-to-one chats with sonTwo plus his wife and #GS3 almost daily; one-to-one chats with #sonOne plus #GD1 and #GD2 (wife usually appears briefly) every week, and one-to-one chats with Daddy A plus wife, #Little_Boy_A, #Little_Boy_A2, #Little_Girl_A3 about 1-2 times per year.

#GD1 stayed up all night last night. Hopefully, #sonOne and his wife were able to keep the 12 year old up long enough today so she doesn't wake up in the middle of the night. She has (online) school tomorrow.
-
#sonOne told me today that since I'm home and off work, I have more time for playing videogames. He's right, and about once every couple of weeks, I log on to the #PS4 and the #Switch and play 10-15 minutes on each console, then put them back on sleep mode.

Waiting to hear whether we're going to try another multipoint videochat tomorrow. I invited #sonTwo and #Daddy_A (tomorrow's plan is #Wire and #JitsiMeet ... I still have not set up #Nextcloud Talk, which is also on our list). #sonOne is currently working 6-10s, so I didn't invite him.

... If it wasn't for the COVID-19 outbreak, I'd tell him to take his computer 2 hours North and have his brother ( #sonOne ) walk him through installing. Being ten years different in age, they haven't ever really been close. Maybe that would be the thing that starts them repairing their relationship.

Two hour videochat today with #sonOne and #GD2. #GD1 is sick. The younger one is bored, of course, because she's at home all the time. She's not getting to talk with her best friend much, because the parents have to call and then put the kids on the phone.
-
In a videochat with #sonOne. He's trying to track some disk errors on a computer, but which drive?
-
I’ll have to ask #sonOne to convert the .ipv file that #GD2 sent me into something viewable. I’m not seeing any Android software that can open it.
-
#sonTwo’s current thinking: The venue where he works is closed. He wants to avoid any repeat of this in future outbreaks or shutdowns, so he’s going to concentrate on a career change.
I’m expecting him to finish setting up his servers now, so he can relearn the *nix admin stuff that I had him learning during middle school and part of high school. (Half his lifetime ago)
I’m going to talk with #sonOne about us getting a cheap LEB VPS for a year, so that we each can use it for learning projects.

I was a little worried that #Daddy_A would feel left out because I'm unlikely to be able to send him a #NAS or the server & rack for his birthday. Both #sonOne and #sonTwo got a NAS for their birthdays. During yesterday's videochat with 2nd son, I mentioned it and he said "you won't find out whether he takes it badly until you tell him, but I'm sure he will understand". So last night, I sent a message.
This morning I received a reply:
"No worries about the NAS or server ... don't let yourself stress out about that!"
Breathing a sigh of relief.

Today’s discussions:
* #sonTwo scrambling to find another job, plus complete some projects around the house (fencing the yard, making a vegetable garden).
* #sonOne’s job is very busy recently, so he hasn’t had time for much of anything; #GD1 and #GD2 begin online classes tomorrow.
* #Daddy_A was broke when the panic buying started, so he’s having to drive all over town to find food & supplies for the five of them.
* Mark (from $EMPLOYER) is working from his #hotel most days, but now thinks he may leave the assignment early and return to #SoCal because his mom is older.

It’s been over a month since I have talked with #sonOne and #GD2, so today’s chat was particularly valuable. (I’ve talked with #GD1 a couple of times in that interval.) It’s usually only #Daddy_A that has such long interruptions in communication. (NOTE: this refers to audiochats, phone calls, videochats; even during quiet periods, we usually still communicate by SMS and text chat in Wire.)
-
It has been a month since I’ve talked with #sonOne or his youngest daughter #GD2. I’m going to try to call her today. Or maybe I will call #GD1 and have her mention to her sister that we’ve been out of communication.
-
Got a message from #sonOne. He's working a different shift and has been asleep in the afternoons when I've attempted to call.
-
Goign to try to call #sonOne again for #videochat.
-
#Daddy_A's wife is on "work from home" due to #COVID-19 related shutdowns.
#sonTwo's employer is on a two-week shutdown. The company is continuing to pay them, but might not be able to continue beyond that.
#sonOne's employer put all office and data center employees on WFH.
My mom's community groups: so far, one has discontinued all meetings until May. Still waiting to hear from the others (I'm trying to convince her not to attend no matter what they do).
-
Mark is on the phone. I think I'm going to have to cut this short, because I'm still trying to have my weekly videochat with #sonOne / #GD1 / #GD2.
-
15:00 CDT ... time to call #sonOne for our weekly #videochat.
Hoping that this time, life and work don’t interfere. We’ve missed connecting the last three consecutive weeks.
-
#sonOne has four monitors in his (home) office. I want to ask him whether they are all connected to the same computer.
-
One of my goals for today is to turn on the #PS4 and / or #Switch and play for a while today. I should see if #sonTwo is available. I know both of our "FIFA" and "MLB: The Show" versions are years old, but maybe we can still play.
I think #sonOne is moving one or both of his 20-something sons to their grandmother's apartment in SE Kansas today. I should call the granddaughters also.
#Daddy_A is going to be busy with family tasks today. I may still ask.
