Highlights
Both the Newsgroup and corfid continued to buzz with discussions on Harmony
Including a pair of detailed personal reviews on the NG:-
Anne (Przykucki)
started a thread at:- http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...mb-m01.aol.com
and David Bradford "cooking" in Sweden at: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...ewsb.telia.net
a fascinating thread "Subject: Emulating vs Creating" was started by RonM at:- http://groups.google.com/groups?q=g:...ing.google.com
which produced one of Derek Kidd's entertaining ramblings
An important new topic on corfid is the intention of the UK contingent to hold a gathering sooner (rather than later) and possibly in the North of England see:- http://www.corfid.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002301.html
Chat
Last Friday a total of 11 made it into the new chat room including the welcome first visits there by Erica/Erkie/sundreme and Ed Mullen. Unfortunately Gaby in England was sleeping again.
If she fails this evening I shall demand her telephone number so I can give her a wake-up call!!
Both Ron in Oz and I last week had initial problems using mIRC to get us into the correct room but eventually we both made it.
Tonight I am hoping that prolific corfid nightowl Walter Stoneborder will get the copy of mIRC I emailed to him installed and functioning
Usual time and access links
Time 9pm EST which I calculate for Walter in Phoenix AZ from info at:- http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ is:-
6PM (same as California)
OK if you are still at work then we usually go on for about two hours although Ron down under usually leaves early as it is his lunchtime on Saturday
Anybody coming in : Please don't forget how to change your nickname if you find you are in as a "guest"
simply type /nick then leave a space then the name you wish to use
example /nick gordonlightfoot (note no spaces in the name)
I also keep meaning to point out that
whichever method you use to get in (browser link or mIRC)
there is a (sometimes) useful "private chat" facility
In the browser method right click on the person you want to chat with then select the top option "private"
This should work perhaps we can experiment this evening
also have your Harmony CD ready so that we can play "in sync"
I have just noticed that I typed an incorrect link for my chat page last week it is actually:- http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot/chat
If anybody has a problem please email me the details
or talk to me in real time on AOL Instant Messenger (I am okyoutellme)
