Newsgroup highlights week wending March 25th 2005
Not a lot to draw your atention to sorry to say
I would have given a random link to an old Newsgroup thread on a Lightfoot song but google group's usually most useful "search this group" facility as per the search box so named at the top of the page seems to have forgotten its manners and now you get the results from a full web search not the same thing at all dammit.
Fortunately the "advanced search" feature is still behaving itself so I was able to pick a random song title "Let It Ride" and
pull up a listing of the many Newsgroup threads referring to that epic song I have chosen a 2002 thread discusing the East Of Midnight album which started at:-

OK
I have yet to rewrite my chat room tutorial at:-
http://www.lightfootchat.notlong.com
Last week I tried to make screenshots of each distinct method of getting into the room so that chatters could tell when in the room which method they used to get in as often I find they do not know
I.E.
mIRC and the two Java applet/browser ways the JWIRC applet on my own site or
the IRC server (dilexnet) applet but could not get in using the latter on Firiday evening so I emailed my contact at dilexnet and in his reply he confirmed that they had had a problem Friday night
Just one more reason to get mIRC.
I was pleased to see that nearly everybody who attended last week has now installed mIRC
Anyway the regulars wil be a'chatting again this evening at 9 pm EST

Happy Easter to all you bunnies out there
