We had a bumper attendance last week .No less than 15 came in at various times including founder Rik Stevens (again) Gaby in England and Steve in Plano Texas. plus welcome first visits by Pete in Arlington VA and a nice surprise visiy by Ron Jenkins a.k.a. takitimu/murihikukid in South Island New Zealand after a rapid e-mail exchange with myself in which Ron asked questions that I knew Ed Mullen (who was in the chat room) would be able to answer . We did not get around to discussing reopening the Yahoo chat room group (with its live voice/microphone feature) and after further thought I recall that several potential chatters had great difficulty getting in when it was still active so for now Rik's Room is it
So I hope a goodly number will meet again this evening at:- http://www.rikschatroom.shorturl.com
which I feel is a little easier to remember than the actual url:- http://chat.cjb.net/gordonlightfootchat
Either link will get you there but it is really better to use the mIRC client program(me)
full details of which you can read at:- http://www.mirc.shorturl.com
oh yes the times
basically it is 9pm EST
(GMT minus 5 hours)
(any earlier is too early for anyone on the U.S. West coast)
examples:-
Portland Oregon and California
6PM PST (GMT minus 8 hours)
Great Britain
2 AM GMT (Saturday morning)
or in Melbourne (on Saturday afternoon) (GMT plus 11 hours)
i.e. 1PM DST (which ends on March 28th 2004)
and Ron hope to see you again on Saturday afternoon)
NZ (GMT plus13 hours)
i.e. 3PM DST (just to confuse the issue NZ DST ends on March 21st!!)
With any luck either Char or Jenney or both will drop in to expand on their exciting time in Toronto last weekend
