I want to regularly broadcast a presentation to a large dispersed audience in real time, similar to what some churches do. What technology is involved and is it expensive?

[rosnarun]

Good GAABoarders,

I want to create an automated distribution list, so that if someome sends an email to aaa@gmail.com then it will automatically get forwarded to xxx@gmail.com, yyy@outlook.com and xxx@yahoo.com.

Has anyone done this in Gmail?

Thanks

I have done something similar with the programming language R package gmailr. Would you be familiar with programming or running code?

Ha ha. My programming pedigree did not extend beyond Pascal, Fortran and Cobol. So when people start talking about RESTful APIs and such I immediately glaze over and fall asleep. My preference is to configure rather than program :-/

Icould tell you how to do it in WordStar ...

WordStar was a word processor for doing the business back in the day when Plunkett Donaghy was the the top footballer.
It had a column editor, which was very handy.

I remember Pat Spillane talking about techniques for jumping and catching the ball. Pat said that of all the players he had ever faced on the field, Plunkett had one of the best... if not not thee best... head of blonde hair.

This has probably been covered here before, but I'll ask again anyway.

Live in the North and trying to view some of the RTE sport videos on twitter, they're coming up as blocked due to licensing restrictions. Someone on Twitter recommended contacting Sky and asking them to reroute my IP address, did that and they said they couldn't and I'd need a VPN.

2 questions are they just fobbing me off and any recommendation for a VPN?

There can exist an internet provider that can give a IP number identified as being NI, but I am not sure if Sky or anyone will actually do this.

The restrictions differ, GAA is ok in Ireland, Olympics not so. Are you using a Tablet or computer? On a Tablet it wlll check the GPS and use that, so this allows some things work. Worth trying on a tablet or phone to see.

I was on my phone, will try flicking to data instead of wifi

Nord or ExpressVPN.

If using Chrome browser, install the Holla extension. It lets you choose which country your are browsing "from".
Seems to work well enough for me.
