<Janet> I promised Kriz I'd be very good and quiet here.

<MaggieB> ok

<MaggieB> i will too

<MaggieB> will behave

<cak> (drat! you mean it's all up to me to be disruptive?)

anno promised not to be.

<MaggieB> yep[

<MaggieB> you do it cak

<MaggieB> you promised anno??

<MaggieB> wow

<MaggieB> lol

<MaggieB> hi denee

<MaggieB> hi sandy

<Sandy> Hi

<tucsonbroo> I'm new to this chat stuff. Why do some of you have a symbol by your name and some like me have a conversation balloon?

<DeNee> hi

<MaggieB> hey kristi

<DeNee> I don't know, I'm brand new myself:)

<cak> good question!

<MaggieB> and i am sure kriz will give you the answer

<cak> Are you going to put your caps on Kriz?

<MaggieB> starting in just a couple mins

<tucsonbroo> ok, I'll be good and wait!

<MaggieB> heh heh

<Kriztina> YES I WILL CAK

<MaggieB> great question!

<paperpushe> I'm taking notes! Gosh, I need this class!

<MaggieB> oh notes.... need to tell them how to log huh?

<MaggieB> so much easier

<paperpushe> Yeah...teach us how to log!

<cak> very important!

<MaggieB> gosh great segues!

<Kriztina> WELL HALF THE PEOPLE ARE USING WEBCHAT SO LOGGING WONT WORK

<MaggieB> lol

<tucsonbroo> what's log?

<Kriztina> OK GUESS I'LL START

<MaggieB> YAY!!!

<MaggieB> lol

<MaggieB> ok, shhhhhh

<Janet> yay!

<MaggieB> heh heh

<cak> Start with logging! pleeeease--

<paperpushe> gotta learn how to log!!!

<Kriztina> IRC STANDS FOR INTERNET RELAY CHAT A WAY TO CHAT ONLINE USING DIFFERENT PROGRAMS SUCH AS MIRC OR PIRCH OR MSCHAT

<Kriztina> FOR THOSE OF YOU ON THE WEBCHAT WHICH IS MSCHAT YOU CANNOT LOG

<paperpushe> Are there big differences between MIRC, Pirch and mschat?

<Kriztina> FOR PIRCH USERS UP TOP YOUR SCREEN WHERE IT SAYS CHANNEL, PICK LOG CHANNEL TO FILE AND I'TLL LOG THE ROOM FOR YOU

<Kriztina> THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MIRC AND PIRCH, NOT MANY

<Kriztina> BUT HUGE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MIRC/PIRCH AND THE MSCHAT VIA THE WEB PAGE

<Kriztina> IF A MIRC PERSON CAN QUICKLY TELL HOW TO LOG IN MIRC I'D BE MOST HAPPY

<tucsonbroo> so, you'e suggesting I try irc, huh?

<deb> sorry I'm late

<Kriztina> FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIANCES PIRCH IS EASIER TO USE THAN MIRC

<paperpushe> Kriz, once we have hit the appropriate button to log, what do we do then?

<Kriztina> YES TUSCON, I WOULD HAVE TO HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING PIRCH OR MIRC

<deb> we do need to keep all of our chat to a minimum, but questions are great and welcome

<deb> I have PIRCH and love it

<tucsonbroo> how do I get PIRCH?

<TheQueen> i have pirch and love it

<TheQueen> www.pirchat.com ?

<deb> from tucows

<Kriztina> IT'LL LOG THE CHANNEL, THEN AFTER CLASS IS OVER AND YOU LEAVE, YOU NEED TO FIND THAT FILE SHOULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE PIRCH98/LOGS/#RUBBERCLASSROOM.LOG

<MaggieB> i use mirc since it was first made and love that one

<MaggieB> www.mirc.com

<deb> you can download it

<Kriztina> THEN YOU CAN VIEW THE WHOLE CHAT AT YOUR LEISURE AND LOOK OVER STUFF YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED

<Susan> Does that include if you were late to class?

<deb> yess lol

<tucsonbroo> thank you. you could tell I was uninformed...lol

<MaggieB> no, it will only log when you are on

<Kriztina> A LOG WILL ONLY START FROM THE TIME YOU ENTER THE ROOM AND PRESS THE LOG BUTTON

<Susan> oh well ...

<Kriztina> I DONT THINK ;YOU MISSED ANYTHING SUSAN

<Kriztina> NEXT SOME OF YOU SEE THE @ SYMBOL, SOME OF YOU SEE THE HAMMER, THAT MEANS OPERATOR STATUS

<Kriztina> IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO SET MODES ON THE ROOM, LIKE MAKING IT SECRET, OR KICKING PEOPLE OUT, DO NOT TOUCH THOSE BUTTONS IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN

<Sandy> Why do you set modes?

<Kriztina> WELL SAY IF SOMEONE WE DONT WANT IN THE ROOM IS HERE CAUSING TROUBLE, THERES WAYS TO SUBDUE THEM

<Kriztina> LIKE VOICING ALL OF US , EXCEPT FOR THEM, WE WOULDNT SEE WHAT THEY SAY

<Kriztina> ITS A WAY TO KEEP SOME ORDER INA ROOM

<Sandy> Do you have to have a mode set?

<Kriztina> NO, USUALLY HERE WE DONT SET ANY MODES

<Kriztina> WE DONT GET TROUBLEMAKERS HERE OFTEN

<paperpushe> Well, MaggieB just set RubrHeart's mode, what does that mean?

<fishtail> gotta go

<Kriztina> MAGGIE GAVE OPERATOR STATUS TO RUBRHEART

<paperpushe> Ah!

<Sandy> ARe there people in charge?

<Kriztina> THATS THE ONLY ONE YOU SHOULD TOUCH TILL YOU FIND OUT WHAT THE OTHER MODES MEAN

<paperpushe> Can you tell us how to set that good mode?

<Kriztina> CAN YOU ALL SEE THE LITTLE BOX IN THE CORNER THAT SAYS MODE/TOPIC TAKE OPS AND SO ON?

<tucsonbroo> no

<DeNee> no

<Sandy> No

<paperpushe> no

<Kriztina> WELL NOT WITH THIS MANY PEOPLE I WOULD PAPERPUSHER, WE ARE FINE

<MaggieB> kriz we should only give ops to those we recognize?

<Susan> no

<Kriztina> AND IF ANY OF YOU DONT SEE IT, ITS BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE @ OR THE HAMMER

<Kriztina> OK NOW DO YOU ALL SEE IT?

<MaggieB> heh heh

<paperpushe> Oh, I see it...in the lower right hand corner

<Kriztina> YES PLEASE ONLY GIVE OPS TO THOSE NAMES YOU RECOGNIZE

<tucsonbroo> no, is that because I'm not on mircorpirch?

<TheQueen> we do get some troublemakers abotu once a month

<Susan> I'm dense where are we looking for it?

<Kriztina> IM LOOKING ON THE WEB CHAT TO SEE TUSCON, BEAR WITH ME

<tucsonstam> bummer

<DeNee> just downloaded pirch, but haven't installed it yet

<Kriz35> TO GO TO ANOTHER ROOM MIRC AND PIRCH USERS WOULD DO THIS /J CYBERSTAMPERS WITH THE / FIRST AGAIN

<MaggieB> dont forget the #

<cak> (the stand-alone programs don't crash when you try to use your web brower to see a class page too)

<Kriz35> WEB USERS UP TOP YOUR SCREEN THERES A DOOR WITH A PAPER STICKING OUT OF IT

<susan> wow it worked

<paperpushe> I'm confused, Kriz...

<Kriz35> IF YOU CLICKED ON IT, THEN CLICKED ON CYBERSTAMPERS YOU WOULD GO THERE AND NOT BE HERE ANY MORE

<tucsonstam> where is door?

<susan> probably the people in cyberstampers wonder why we popped in all of a succen

<susan> sudden

<cak> lol

<Kriz35> UP TOP YOUR SCREEN TUSCON

<Kriz35> LOOKS LIKE A DOOR WITH PAPER STICKING OUT OF IT

<tucsonstam> in webchat?

<Janet> most of us are both places

<Kriz35> YUP IN WEB CHAT TUSCON

<Kriz35> OR IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE A BOOK TO YOU

<Kriz35> PAPERPUSHER TYPE IN /J CYBERSTAMPERS

<Janet> it's a class schedule. :)

<paperpushe> whoa...I tried that and ended up in a cyberstampers room all my own!

<Kriz35> WITH THE / FIRST

<tucsonstam> yep, i found it and saw that 3 room are avail

<Kriz35> AND JUST DO IT BUT FIR RUBBERCLASSROOM TO COME BACK

<Kriz35> AND ONE IS CYBERSTAMPERS, TRY IT OUT SO YOU GET THE IDEA OF MOVING FROM ROOM TO ROOM

<cak> Kriz, when you use the abbreviation for join (/j), you don't need the # in front of the room name?

<tucsonstam> Ok, I get it now

<Kriz35> NO CAK

<brendab2> you dont in pirch

<MaggieB> us dinosaurs

<Kriz35> BUT IN PIRCH 32 AND PIRCH98 AND MIRC32 AND MIRC5.0 NO JUST THE /J ROOM WORKS

<Kriz35> ITS ONE OF THOSE SHORTCUT THINGS

<Kriz35> TUSCON, DID YOU WISH TO TRY TO CHANGE THE ROOM TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN DO IT?

<Kriz35> NEXT IS PRIVATE CHAT/PRIVATE MESSAGING

<brendab2> byeeeee

<tucsonstam> and the 15 second rule is...

<Kriz35> THIS IS A WAY TO TALK TO SOMEONE IN PRIVATE, NOT IN A ROOM, NO ONE BUT YOU AND THE OTHER PERSON SEE IT

<tucsonstam> ok

<Kriz35> FOR MIRC AND PIRCH USERS JUST DOUBLE CLICK RIGHT CLICK ON A PERSONS NAME IN THE LIST OF NAMES

<susan> is that 2 right clicks?

<susan> or 2 lefts than a right?

<Kriz35> YUP TWO RIGHT CLICKS FAST

<Kriz35> MAKE SURE TO HIGHLIGHT THE NAME THEN DOUBLE CLICK

<Kriz35> SO LEFT CLICK TO HIGHLIGHT THEN DOUBLE RIGHT CLICK FAST

<susan> it's just giving me the ops screen

<susan> are you sure it's right in mirc?

<MaggieB> just double click susan

<paperpushe> in pirch I did the double left click and it worked!

<susan> it's 2 left clicks for me

<Kriz35> MAKE SURE THE NAME IS HIGHLIGHTED ALL BLUE SO LEFT CLICK ONCE ON THE NAME TO HIGHLIGHT IT

<MaggieB> got it susan!

<Kriz35> OK SO MIRC PIRCH USERS GOT THE PRIVATE CHAT THING OK?

<susan> yup

<Kriz35> HI BRIG

<paperpushe> Yup!

<Brig> Hi

<Janet> hi, Brig

<Brig> I am new to this

<DeNee> hi brig

<Brig> hello everyone

<DeNee> this is a great place to learn brig

<Brig> good

<paperpushe> Welcome Brig

<Brig> hi

<Kriz35> WEB CHAT USERS HIGHLIGHT A NAME YOU WISH TO PRIVATE CHAT WITH

<Kriz35> THAT WOULD BE LEFT MOUSE CLICK ON A NAME IN THE NAME LISTING TO THE RIGHT

<tucsonstam> got it and it's fun!

<Kriz35> THEN THE MIDDLE BUBBLE BELOW THE NAMES, LOOKS SORTA BROKEN

<tucsonstam> do you know when I send a private message?

<Kriz35> IF YOU CLICK ON THAT

<paperpushe> Nope, noone knows, Tuc! It's our secret! LOL

<Kriz35> IT'LL SAY ON YOUR SCREEN YOUR NAME THEN WHISPERS TO THE NICK YOU PICKED

<Kriz35> ITS A AQUA BLUE COLOR

<Kriz35> AN AQUA BLUE COLOR

<Kriz35> I GOT TO ADMIT PRIVATE CHAT AGAIN IS EASIER WITH MIRC OR PIRCH

<cak> Kriz, does mIRC or pIRCh do the tab-brings-up-the-last-person-you-messaged?

<Kriz35> IT MAKES ITS OWN PRIVATE WINDOWS CAK

<Kriz35> ITS THERE TILL I CLOSE IT DOWN

<Kriz35> SO I GUESS SORTA THATS A NO

<cak> In IRCle, if someone msg you, you can just hit the tab and it fills in the /msg nickname

<Kriz35> AS LONG AS YOU HOLD THAT WINDOW OPEN IT SHOWS WHO YOU PRIVATE CHATTED

<cak> then you can easily carry on behind the teacher's back

<Kriz35> HI CRAZY AND ANNIE

<tucsonstam> lol

MaggieB doesn't believe that out cak would actually do that! lol

<Kriz35> SO DID EVERYONE UNDERSTAND THE PRIVATE CHAT THING?

<Brig> Not really

<tucsonstam> yes, thanx

cak thinks "I got *her* fooled!

<paperpushe> Yup!

<Kriz35> I HIGHLY ADVISE YOU DONT SAY SOMETHING YOU DONT WANT PEOPLE TO HEAR IN PUBLIC JUST IN CASE YOU DIDNT DO IT RIGHT

<Janet> cak, I saw that, carrying on behind the teacher's back indeed.

MaggieB slaps cak around a bit with a large trout

<susan> lol

<Janet> I think I'm gonna be paranoid now

<annie> hi guys!

<MaggieB> heh heh

<susan> oops

<Brig> Tell me again how you send a private message to justs one person

<Kriz35> WITH MIRC AND PIRCH THERE ALMOST IS NO MISTAKING DOING THAT THO

<Janet> very

<MaggieB> happens more with webchat

<Janet> kriz, I've managed though<g>

<Janet> but my worst has been with the webchat

<paperpushe> I'm very sorry Kriz, but I still want to know how to slam you in pirch! lol

<susan> under the control panel

<susan> what does kick do?

<Brenda> oh

<susan> make a person leave?

<MaggieB> it kicks a person out

<Kriz35> IT WILL KICK SOMEONE OUT OF THE ROOM

<Kriz35> DO NOT DO IT, ITS NOT NICE

<Brenda> sorry just a little slow sometimes

<cak> *don't* try that on anyone just yet please

<susan> that wouldn't be very nice

<MaggieB> no its not

<susan> what does ban do then?

<Janet> it's more than not nice, it's DM policy (the folks who sponsor all this) that we have to document any kicking

<Brig> I think I accidently kicked paper pusher out of the room when I was pressing buttons

<cak> (I accidently kicked Janet out once--or was it twice?)

<MaggieB> used by operators more in big chats that are really open to the public

<MaggieB> oops

<Janet> accidents are different. the on purpose kicks I have to file docs on

<Kriz35> PAPERPUSHER, LEFT CLICK ON MY NAME SO ITS HIGHLIGHTED, THEN RIGHT CLICK AND PICK SLAM

<Brig> I didn't know what I was doing

<paperpushe> Nope Brig, you didn't kick me out...you've been very nice to me :-)

<Brig> oh

<paperpushe> paperpusher slams a 60 lb unix manual on Kriz35 's head. That gotta hurt... but then again... where there's no sense... there's no feeling!

<susan> so what does ban do?

<MaggieB> in big time irc the operators use kick to maintain order

<Brig> I thought I might have done something when I was pushing a million buttons

<Kriz35> A BAN WILL MAKE IT SO THEY CANNOT REENTER THE ROOM, WAY WORSE THAN A KICK

<paperpushe> Hey, it worked...thanks, I feel much better now!

<susan> oh that's really nasty

<MaggieB> some irc servers host thousands of people

<MaggieB> and they use this software too

<Janet> and I have to document all that. so don't do it, I hate doing the paperwork.<g>

<MaggieB> those commands are more appropriate for those instances

<susan> well I can see that you might need it in some rooms'

<Kriz35> SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO UNBAN THEM, ITS REALLY ONLY USED IF SOMEONE IS BEING REALLY HORRIBLE

<paperpushe> {{{{{{{ Kriz35 }}}}}}}

<susan> but I would hope not with stampers, lol

<Kriz35> LIKE SWEARING AND BEING MEAN AND NASTY

<Kriz35> {{{{{{{ paperpusher }}}}}}}

<Janet> never ever has a stamper been kicked or banned.

<MaggieB> happens in the real world chats

<Janet> not in four or so years of being in here.

<paperpushe> I figured the hugs were safe enough!

<Janet> hugs are good. :)

<cak> (well, not on purpose anyway)

<Janet> oh well yeah, we've had accidental kicks. those don't count.

<Kriz35> WE ARE VERY WELL PROTECTED HERE ON DMNET

<Lory> should i admit i been kicked lots of times but not here, lol

<cak> she says sheepishly

<MaggieB> this is a tiny server and pretty safe from all that bad stuff

<MaggieB> lory!

<MaggieB> lol

<Lory> what?

<MaggieB> kicked???

<Lory> both probably

<Kriz35> IF FOR SOME REASON YOU DISCONNECT WHEN YOU DIDNT WANT TO , ITS NOT THAT SOMEONE KICKED YOU OUT, ITS A SERVER DISCONNECTION CONNECTION PROBLEM

<Kriz35> NO ONE HERE WOULD EVER JUST KICK YOU OUT

<MaggieB> we call it bouncing

<paperpushe> Usually, it's just my $#$@$# isp! LOL

<MaggieB> people will offer you velcro or duct tape to stick you into your chair on returning

<Kriz35> AND IT CAN HAPPEN, COMPUTERS ARE FUNNY THAT WAY

<MaggieB> lol

<Janet> oh yes, please y'all, listen to Kriz on this one.

<Janet> people, new ones, are always coming back in from a disconnect and asking who kicked them.

<Kriz35> THERES MANY COMPUTERS WE ALL GO THRU TO GET TO HERE

<Janet> and nobody ever does. the internet is just flaky

<Kriz35> IF ONE OF THEM GOES BAD, YOU LOSE YOUR CONNECTION HERE

<paperpushe> tell more about bouncing...I've never understood that

<MaggieB> yep, part of the game!

<Kriz35> ITS KINDA LIKE A ROAD BLOCK PAPERPUSHER

<Janet> ping disconnect. reset by peer. no route to server. alla those

<DeNee> Thanks all, time to go:)

<Kriz35> NIGHT DENEE

<MaggieB> night denee

<Brig> goodnight

<MaggieB> 15 seconds!

<Janet> take care, denee. see you tomorrow!

<paperpushe> nite denee

<DeNee> until tomorrow:)

<cak> Night DeNee--thanks for the action on the web lesson

<MaggieB> yay! she waited!

<Janet> if someone kicks you? you get a message saying that. there will be no doubt if you were kicked, or who did it.

<MaggieB> we got some great fast learners

<Janet> yay denee did that good!

<Kriz35> TO PUT A BOUNCE INTO PICTURES, IMAGINE A WHOLE NETWORK OF ROADS ALL LEADING TO ONE POINT

<Janet> i guess it distresses me that someone would think anyone would kick them. just know that nobody will

<Kriz35> IF A TREE FELL ON ONE OF THE ROADS YOU TAKE , GUESS WHAT? YOU ARENT GETTING TO THE END POINT RIGHT THEN

<Brenda> janet are you located in plano

<MaggieB> sometimes someone might tease when they come back on... like I might say... Grrrrr.... janet did you do that to me????

<Janet> yes, I am!

<MaggieB> but all in fun

<Kriz35> JUST RECONNECT TO THE SERVER AND IT'LL OR SHOULD GO THRU AGAIN

<Janet> yeah, the teasing is in fun.

<Brenda> hello my name is brenda patterson you just emailed me the other day

<Kriz35> SOME NIGHTS DMNET TAKES A DIVE AND NO ONE GETS ON, AND IT CAN BE DOWN FOR A WHILE

<Janet> or sometimes someone will disconnect and the server won't recognize that, so when you get back, your ghost is still here.

<Brenda> about the photoart stamp sheet

<Janet> then that's fun to kick the ghost that's not really you anymore

<Janet> Brenda!!

<Janet> who lives close to me!!

<Brenda> yes

<Kriz35> ALTHOUGH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DONT KICK YOUR GHOST BUT PING IT

<Brenda> in the colony

<Janet> (but wouldn't meet me at the waffle house at 3 a.m. LOL)

<MaggieB> that's when you will be using your alternate name

<Kriz35> PINGING YOUR GHOST WILL SHOW THE SERVER THAT CONNECTION IS NO LONGER VALID

<paperpushe> Ok Kriz, now you have to explain pinging

<Brig> what is ping?

<Kriz35> DO /PING NICKNAME

<Brenda> sorry

<Janet> LOL

<Kriz35> PICK A NAME TO PING /PING LORY

<Janet> Ping is fun, though.

<Brenda> my oldest had a halloween dance tonight

<Kriz35> NOT ALL OF YOU PING LORY THO

<Janet> you can ping me

<Brig> ??

<Kriz35> SO / THEN PING THEN THE NICKNAME

<paperpushe> ok, I pinged Janet, but nothing happened

<Janet> i don't think you can ping on the webpage gateway.

<Kriz35> A PING IS HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR A MESSAGE TO GET FROM YOU TO THE PERSON

<cak> Do you want me to ping you Brig?

<Brig> sure

<MaggieB> like on a submarine.....

<MaggieB> sonar

<Janet> linda, look in the other window, the server window. it will tell you how long it took your ping to get from you to me to you back

<Kriz35> NOW MIRC AND PIRCH PEOPLE LOOK IN THE SERVER OR STATUS WINDOW

<###PING delay for Brig> 1 seconds

<MaggieB> it measures a type of distance

<Brig> wow

<paperpushe> Ah, 2 whole seconds!

<Brenda> janet did you take the the clinkits class

<MaggieB> like on a sub

<cak> very good--Brig has a ping delay of 1 second

<Brig> doesn't take long at all

<Janet> I did, Brenda!

<Kriz35> IT'LL GIVE A NUMBER THATS HOW MANY SECONDS IT TAKES FOR THE MESSAGE TO GO BACK AND FORTH

<MaggieB> you know the pings you hear on a submarine?

<Brig> does dsl have anything to do with it?

<MaggieB> same thing

<paperpushe> 2 seconds from Maine to Plano and back again...not bad!

<Janet> DSL can be faster

<Brig> I am in Minnesota

<MaggieB> faster connections faster pings usually

<Brenda> i loved it i had never seen them before

<Kriz35> I WILL CLEAR UP SOMETHING WHEN IT COMES TO CABLE/MODEM/DSL

<Janet> but if we have some slow connections between us, then we lose the advantage

<Janet> clink its are really cool.

<Kriz35> CABLE USERS AND DSL USERS MAY GET TO DMNET FASTER

<Kriz35> BUT THE DMNET PORTAL IS ONLY SO BIG, SO WE ALL GET SQUASHED DOWN TO THE SAME SIZE IN DMNET

<Janet> (but then my firewall takes forever to negotiate for me to get in)

<Kriz35> THE ONLY TIME CABLE OR DSL MAKES IT ANY FASTER IS WHEN YOU ARE DOWNLOADING OR UPLOADING

<MaggieB> but you will find that the higher your connection the less likely you are to get bounced

paperpusher could stand to be squashed down a few sizes

<MaggieB> lol pp

<Kriz35> I DISAGREE MAGGIE

<Kriz35> CASE IN POINT JANETS DSL

<Janet> i get bounced a lot some nights

<Janet> (then others I could be on for days)

<Kriz35> WE ARE ALL EQUAL WHEN IT COMES TO IRC

<MaggieB> really kriz? seems the gals out in the country on dial ups have a tendency to bounce more

<Lory> i totally disagree, i get knocked out way more on the t1 at work

<Lory> and i have dial up in the city

<MaggieB> could be a firewall at work tho

<Kriz35> TRANSFERS MAY BE FASTER DCC THRU CABLE AND DSL COMPARED TO DIALUP

<Kriz35> BUT THATS IT, AND THATS BECAUSE DCC ISNT THRU DMNET

<Lory> nope

<paperpushe> does it make a difference on whether you are on web or mirc or pirch, I wonder

<Kriz35> WE ARE ONLY AS FAST AS THE FASTEST COMPUTER IN OUR HIGHWAY TO DMNET

<Kriz35> NOPE PAPER IT DOESNT

<Janet> i don't think it really does. Although I have found, when I'm using a lot of my computer resources doing other programs, the web page will go blank on me

<MaggieB> but sometimes lagging occurs especially with webchat....

<MaggieB> kat changed to mirc and lost her lag!

<MaggieB> lol

<Janet> it's a memory issue within my own computer. but when the web chat screen goes blank, it does come back in a minute!

<Janet> and everything that was said is still on there

<katafk> i lost that too Janet.

<Janet> it's a video graphics thing in my own computer.

<Kriz35> WEBCHAT IS KINDA FLAKEY WHY? MICROSOFT NEED I SAY MORE?

<kat> my memory i mean.

<cak> ol

<Janet> LOL

<paperpushe> I'm always low on memory resource and I have 256MG

<Kriz35> IF ANY WEB CHAT USERS LEFT IN HERE, I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THE IMPORTANCE OF USING PIRCH OR MIRC

<Janet> i think it's not a good thing when you get scroll bars on your task bar<g>

<MaggieB> like close some windows???

<MaggieB> and maybe reboot your windows?

<Janet> occasionally you must<g>

<paperpushe> But I only have two open!!!

<MaggieB> to free up?

<paperpushe> I reboot at least once a day

<Janet> I only have seven aps open right now<g>

<MaggieB> lol

<paperpushe> I think I gotta call Dell and find out why these resources are so low

<Kriz35> YOU MISSED IT EARLIER WHEN I MUSTA HAD 12 CHAT WINDOWS OPEN I DONT RECOMMEND THAT

<Janet> it's probably a piece of software and a memory leak

<cak> just a little crowded, eh?

<paperpushe> A memory leak? sounds bad

<Kriz35> ARE THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERED?

<Brig> This has been very informative

<paperpushe> You have been wonderful Kriz, thanks so much!

<Janet> tell all your friends this is fun and easy!!

<MaggieB> ty kriz!

<cak> wil you be doing an intermediate IRC class Kriz?

<Janet> so they'll come have fun with us

<Kriz35> I HOPE IT DID HELP TAKE AWAY SOME MYSTERY OF MIRC/PIRCH/WEBCHAT

<Janet> oh yes, let's have an IRC 201

<paperpushe> {{{{{{{ Kriz35 }}}}}}}

<Brig> yes

<Kriz35> LOL CAK NOT LIKELY

<MaggieB> it will soon be second nature

<Janet> I wanna say something.

<Kriz35> MAYBE SOME IMPROMPTU LATE AT NIGHT

<susansback> i missed what ping does

<Janet> (nice front too, Susan)

<paperpushe> Aw come on Kriz!!!

<MaggieB> you can answer an lot of your questions at the software sites

<cak> oh, come on, please? We weren't *that* hard on ya, were we?

<Kriz35> SUSAN A PING IS HOW LONG IT TAKES A MESSAGE TO GET TO SOMEONE AND BACK

<Janet> I was well behaved. Mostly.

<susansback> so if you ping someone

<paperpushe> Amazingly so, Janet!

<susansback> does it take longer or shorter?

<Kriz35> TO PING JUST DO THIS WITH THE / FIRST /PING NICKNAME ANYONES NICKNAME

Janet shines the halo she stole from Holly earlier

<susansback> but what does the /ping do?

MaggieB slaps Janet around a bit with a large trout

<Kriz35> THEN IN YOUR STATUS WINDOW THAT SAYS IRC.DM.NET IT'LL GIVE YOU A NUMBER

<Kriz35> THE LOWER THE BETTER

<Kriz35> IT'LL SHOW HOW LONG ITS TAKING FOR PEOPLE TO SEE YOUR MESSAGES

<paperpushe> paperpusher slams a 60 lb unix manual on Janet 's head. That gotta hurt... but then again... where there's no sense... there's no feeling!

Janet slugs maggie, using her halo as a brass knuckle

<MaggieB> heh heh, just serving breakfast janet

<susansback> oh, i see

<Kriz35> IF YOU ALL OF A SUDDEN FEEL NO ONE IS HEARING YOU, A PING IS HANDY

<susansback> so it's just an info type of thing

<Lory> thats my girl janet, use whatcha got

<Janet> LOL

<Kriz35> TO SEE IF MAYBE YOUR CONNECTION IS SLOW AT THAT TIME, LAG ISNT A BIG PROBLEM HERE LIKE OTHER NETS

<Janet> Kriz, tell the time thing. that's my favorite thing.

<cak> and /version!

<Janet> (I ping myself when I start to wondering if it's my breath. usually instead of BO, it's my connection)

<Kriz35> OK TIME CAN BE DONE BY MOUSE USE OR BY THE / COMMAND

<Kriz35> IF YOU HIGHLIGHT SOMEONES NAME AGAIN

<Kriz35> THEN RIGHT CLICK A BOX WILL POP UP CHOSE CTCP THEN A SUBMENU COMES OUT

<Kriz35> PICK TIME

<Kriz35> IT'LL SHOW THE TIME AT THAT PERSONS HOUSE

<Kriz35> OR YOU CAN DO IT COMMAND /CTCP TIME NICKNAME I THINK

<Janet> It's 11:31 Texas time :)

<Janet> yeah

<Brig> cool

<Janet> /ctcp Kriztina time

<Kriz35> yah nick then time

<Janet> except that didn't work, you're kriz35 now

<MaggieB> heh heh

<Kriz35> THAT OF COURSE DEPENDS ON IF THEY HAVE THE TIME SET RIGHT ON THEIR MACHINES

<MaggieB> yes, irc wants it right

<Kriz35> SO /CTCP NICKNAME TIME

<susansback> it isn't giving me the time

<Kriz35> THE / ALWAYS FIRST

<Kriz35> CHECK IN THE STATUS SERVER WINDOW SUSAN

<susansback> it just shows [Janet] TIME

<Janet> susan, look in the server window

<susansback> so what am i doing wrong?

<Janet> it showed up here

<Janet> so it's in your server window, down at the bottom

<MaggieB> just right click on name susan and go to ctcp and then time

<MaggieB> in mirc

<susansback> lol, i still don't see it

<susansback> where is the time showing up?

<MaggieB> the answeris in the status window

<MaggieB> look there

<Kriz35> SEE THE WINDOW WITH THE TAB THAT SAYS IRC.DM.NET? THERE

<susansback> oh

<MaggieB> it will say status in mirc

<susansback> didn't know i had to look in the status window

<susansback> lol

<Kriz35> YAH STATUS IN MIRC

<susansback> now i see it

<MaggieB> all commands show up in the status window

<susansback> it worked

<MaggieB> cool

<MaggieB> wtg susan!

<Kriz35> THE INFORMATION COMMANDS LIKE /CTCP TIME AND THE PING WILL SHOW THE ANSWER IN THE STATUS WINDOW

<Janet> yay!

<susansback> ooo maggie your up late

<Kriz35> ALSO UNDER CTCP IS VERSION THATS WHAT THEY USE TO CHAT WITH

<MaggieB> yep 12:36 here

<susansback> what does version do?

<susansback> tell you if their mirc or pirch?

<cak> try it and see!

<Kriz35> CORRECT SUSAN OR MSCHAT

<susansback> ah, maggie you use mirc too

<cak> or IRCle (says the lonely machead)

<MaggieB> yep i do always have

<MaggieB> lol cak

<susansback> i see janet is on pirch

<Kriz35> USUALLY IF YOU HAVE A PROGRAM QUESTION ITS GOOD TO FIND SOMEONE USING YOUR SAME CHAT PROGRAM

susansback gets it

<Janet> when someone new comes in, a lot of times one of us will do the ctcp version thing on them. Answers to questions are different if they're on the webchat and that will say that

<Brig> what does finger do? /ME ALMOST AFRAID TO ASK

<Kriz35> HEY KRISTI

<Brig> OOPS

<Janet> LOL Brig

<MaggieB> lol brig

<cak> lol

<kristi-sca> Hey Kriz~

susansback wonders too

<Janet> hiya, Kristi

<Kriz35> TRY IT ON ME BRIG

<kristi-sca> have yuo done dcc?

<Brig> the finger Kriz?

<cak> (I love DCC)

<Janet> I think I have a smartmouth answer on mine. but a lot of times a finger will get information about the user and about their isp

<Kriz35> YAH

<Brig> nothing

<Kriz35> I DONT KNOW IF I UPDATED TO A SMART MOUTH REMARK

<Kriz35> TRY IT ON JANET THEN

<cak> Janet, can I finger you, uh, uh, well you know what I'm asking

<Brig> k

<Janet> ooo la la

<kristi-sca> lol

<Brig> lol

<Kriz35> OK TRY IT ON ME AGAIN BRIG I CHANGED IT

<Janet> if Andy was in, he's actually got his set with information, like his pager number

<cak> (good thing only hardy souls are here now)

<Brig> yikes!!!

<Kriz35> LOL

<Janet> or his homepage, I forget which

<Brig> how did you do that?

<Janet> LOL Kriz!

<Janet> that's a software setting.

<paperpushe> lol Kriz!

<Kriz35> BRIG UP TOP THE SCREEN IT SAYS PREFS

<susan> wow, whois gives you a whole list

<Brig> oh

<Kriz35> IF YOU CLICK ON IT, THEN CLICK ON THE TAB THAT SAYS CTCP

<susan> what does query do?

<MaggieB> ucentral will give you all sorts of info in mirc

<Janet> query opens a separate chat window with them, I think

<Kriz35> DOWN THE BOTTOM THERES A SPOT THAT SAYS FINGER WITH A BLANK WHITE LINE, CLICK THERE AND ADD SOME WITTY SAYING THEN PRESS OK

<Brig> ok give me the finger

<MaggieB> yes it does janet

<Kriz35> LOL YOU GOT IT BRIG

<Janet> LOL

<Brig> well, you know what I mean

<Brig> good

<Kriz35> OH HERES ANOTHER ONE FOR PIRCH PEOPLE

<Kriz35> IN THE PREFS UP TOP

<Brenda> janet are you doing the bead class tomorrow

<Kriz35> UNDER MISC DEFAULT SIGN OFF MESSAGE

<paperpushe> cool...it worked!

<Janet> I am The Midnight Wire :)

<Kriz35> IF YOU DISCONNECT WHILE STAYING IN CHAT, A WITTY MESSAGE WILL APPEAR WHEN YOU LEAVE

<MaggieB> if you do a search on the web you will find lots of mirc and pirch sites where they will teach you lots and lots of different things you can do with either of them

<susan> my mirc finger doesn't seem to work that way

<Janet> I think going to do those bead and wire crosses and if there's time then wrapping clink its with hardware wire

<susan> it wants a user name

<MaggieB> well it is really getting late

<Brig> this is all so interesting

<MaggieB> see you all, probably really late tomorrow

<MaggieB> 10

<MaggieB> 9

<MaggieB> 8

<MaggieB> 7

<MaggieB> 6

<Janet> Oh Kriz, can I add one thing?

<Kriz35> NIGHT MAGGIE

<MaggieB> 5

<MaggieB> 4

<MaggieB> 3

<Kriz35> SURE JANET

<MaggieB> 2

<MaggieB> 1

<Janet> sweet dreams, Maggie

<cak> Night Maggie

<kristi-sca> night maggie~

<Brig> nice to 'meet' you maggie

<MaggieB> lol night

<Janet> When convention week is over???

<MaggieB> nice meeting ALL of you!!

<kat> night maggie

<Janet> Chat doesn't end!

<MaggieB> have fun at the convention!!!

<paperpushe> nite maggie

<Kriz35> CORRECT CHAT NEVER ENDS

<Janet> WE have actually activities most evenings.

<Kriz35> WE ARE HERE EVERY DAY

<Brenda> what kind of beads do we need

<Janet> and people hang around here during the days

<Janet> whatever kind you like, brenda

<Brig> boy you could really get hooked on something like this

<Janet> Now if you drop in during the day and nobody speaks to you?

<Brenda> have you gone to the stamp store in carrollton

<Janet> Most of those folks are at work and in chat. And occasionally they have to actually <shudder> work.

<Brig> then you need to put on some deodorant

<Brig> lol

<cak> (yeah, Brig's fittin' right in)

<Janet> but if you say hello and say their names, eventually when the boss leaves the room, they'll be back to chat with you

<paperpushe> wtg Brig

<Brig> thanks

<Janet> I have mine set to chime when someone says my name. so if I'm in here and also working, I can hear if someone comes in and says hello to Janet

<kat> how do you do that Janet

<Janet> (in your software, in the preferences, I think that's called notify)

<Brig> what does scanning mean?

<Janet> so you add a word to notify you on, like "janet" and what you want the program to do.

<Janet> mine turns the words pink and chimes

<Janet> (so that if takes me a minute to get back here, I can pick out the sentence that has janet in it fast)

<Kriz35> scanning as in using a scanner to scan pictures brig

<Janet> that's another fun thing with irc software. I can make a card and then show it off in here by using DCC to send it to you

<Janet> Howdy Sparkle

<Brig> wow, this program recognizes that?

<Kriz35> hey sperkle

<Janet> Y'all? See Sparkle?

<sparkle> hi y'all

<Janet> She lives in chat during the day during the week year round.

<sparkle> ROFL

<Kriz35> no brig she set her nickname to reflect what she's doing

<Kriz35> like this

<Janet> she won't always say hello to you, sometimes they make her work

<sparkle> I call it being under-employed Janet

<Janet> but she'll be back and then she'll see you.

<Janet> LOL yeah.

<sparkle> yesh, so if you want to chat...hang out a few minutes...

<Brig> oh

<sparkle> sometimes the boss is dictating a memo over my shoulder

<kristi-sca> are you talking about me, scanning?

<Kriztina> sometimes people walk away from chat to eat, or walk the dog

<Brig> yes

<kristi-sca> I'm scanning a carving swap

<Kriztina> so they reflect it in their name

<kristi-sca> do you want to see mine?

<Janet> I wanna see, Kristi

<kristi-sca> I can DCC it to you

<Brig> how do you do it?

<Brig> cool

<Kriztina> change names ya mean?

<Brig> change your name?

<Kriztina> do /nick brigger with the / first

<Kriztina> that'll change your nickname

<Brig> what?

<Kriztina> to change your name do /nick whatevernameyouwant

<Kriztina> with the / first

<Kriztina> try it

<kristi-sca> ok, Ive sent it to Janet and Brig - you guys need to accept it

<Brig> I did

<Janet> Kristi, it's not coming all the way through. let me kill it and try it again

<cak> I wanna see (in her most irritating whiny voice)

<kristi-sca> hmmm, in my end it isn't showing it as sending - it says waiting for acknowledgment

<Brig> says it failed

<Janet> (my firewall is flaky sometimes)

<Kriztina> did what? accept the dcc or change your name?

<kristi-sca> ok

<Brig> accepted

<paperpushe> Well folks, it's time for this paperpusher to hit the hay! Goodnight and thanks so much for all the info....now I just gotta figure out how to get my log LOL

<Kriztina> night paper

<cak> Night paperpusher!

<Kriztina> do a find file or folders for it paper

<Kriztina> yup /nick whateveryouwant

<paperpushe> thanks Kriz...you've been the best!

<cak> the slash just indicates to the computer that you have a command for it

<coffeaddic> your welcome paper glad i could help

<Brig> what is nick?

<coffeaddic> nick is short for nickname

<Brig> ok

<javasucker> kristi, that's just not going.

<coffeaddic> try it /nick whatever

javasucker pouts

<coffeaddic> slash first then nick then space then newname you want

<cak> oops, there goes janet

<kristi-sca> I wonder if it's our firewall here at the house

<Failed to open DCC Get "kristi.jpg" connection to kristi-scanning

<Janet> I'm really pouting now. my coffee pot is empty

<cak> same here kristi (it failed)

<Brig> do you have to put the word nick in?

<chocolatea> yah brigger

<cak> another skill mastered!

chocolateaddict throws brigger some chocolate to celebrate

<Kriztina> now go back /nick brig same thing slash nick space brig

Janet reminds susan she abuses the nick command often

<Kriztina> excellent

<brigie> That is what my mom and dad still call me

chocolateaddict slaps Janet around a bit with a large trout

Janet holds out her chocolate lovin hands

<Kriztina> were you here for the action command brig?

chocolateaddict throws a token chocolate to janet

Janet smears fish guts on Susan's glasses

<brigie> I love chocolate

Janet catches the chocolate and scarfs it whole

<chocolatea> rofl janet!

<brigie> I still do not understand these commands you are giving

<Kriztina> brig do this /me loves chocolate with the / first again

<brigie> oh yes I remember

<Kriztina> the / is your way of telling the machine you are gonna make it do something

<cak> is it the structure of the command that's confusing?

brigie thanks everyone for the newbie support

<Janet> woo hoo Brig!

<Kriztina> there ya go

<brigie> thank you my adoring public

chocolateaddict bows to brigie

<Kriztina> just takes a few times doing it and you get the hang of it quick

brigie thanks everyone with chocolate

chocolateaddict hugs brigie

chocolateaddict hugs anyone with chocolate

brigie hugs chocolate addict
