@Stephen - We've been having them every 3rd Thursday for about 4 months now, and the past 5 sessions have been at 3:00pm (PST). Next IRC Hour I'll get a special guest to come in and talk about TGB.

I might just get a small netbook so I can jump on Wifi somewhere and get on IRC for it.
I'll see what I can manage. The IRC Sessions are about as close as I can get to GarageGames from Omaha NE. I'm sure some of the other guys here feel the same way too.

Well I'm going to try and start taking my lunches directly at 3:00PST(I work 1:00CST - 10:00CST and 3:00PST is 5:00CST for me.)I might just get a small netbook so I can jump on Wifi somewhere and get on IRC for it.

@Stephen... if you have web at work, try Mibbit. It's an http-based IRC. Works great and got through my work firewall fine.

I'd really rather not do it while I am at work. They would be a little touchy about me doing it there. Best to take it to place where I can get Wifi. Last time I was on it I was running IRC on my Mobile Phone, and while it does work, it was a bit small for me. Although my HTC Touch Pro and it's full keyboard worked good for typing on.

That way, GG could post events in it (and community members by request), and those suscribed to the calendar would be able to have clear info, also not depending on timezones convertions (Michael I hate you for keep using PST).
The good part is that Google Apps already has a Calendar, so you guys have already the structure to do it.
Hope anybody read this anyway, this blog is a few days old...

Oh, I just got another idea, considering how many things in the community are date based -releases, events, tests, IRC hours, etc.-, would be very useful to have a community calendar.That way, GG could post events in it (and community members by request), and those suscribed to the calendar would be able to have clear info, also not depending on timezones convertions (Michael I hate you for keep using PST).
