Slooh
No, I have not had too much to drink. Slooh is a website. A space camera website.
Starting at 2:30 (Pacific) today, you can watch multiple live feeds of the Venus transit on slooh.com
“ABOUT THE NEXT EVENT
The last transit of Venus in our lifetime – catch it live on Slooh from multiple feeds worldwide at t-minus zero – FREE to the public. Patrick Paolucci and Bob Berman will helm the 8 hour broadcast alongside many guests, including scientists, filmmakers, researchers, and astronomers..”
If you are at all interested in stars and nebulae and telescopes, etc. (aka “astronomy”) be sure to click the link and take a look at this interesting website (with a funny name): slooh.com.
My thanks to the alert reader who brought this to my attention (you know who you are).

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.

The Transit Of Venus This Evening…Astronomical Subjects Are One Of My Fav…
After a cloudy day, (Canadian Sky’s) the sun is now bright in our sky …with only a few clouds hovering around.
But “DARN”!… while I knew about this eclipse, I did not prepare for it… I forgot to get glasses to wear, to protect my eyes, while watching the eclipse…that “little black spot on the sun.”
Oh well, the Internet/TV will have to do.
