johnfowles · 05-13-2004, 12:52 PM

This is to give notice that there will be what I hope will be a tremendous chat session tomorrow Friday May 14th in my new chat room.
This is following the successful "Countdown To Harmony" session last Friday when I noted that some nine Lightheads made it into Chat.I have not heard since that anybody failed to get in so can only assume that the new access arrangements I have organised is catering to everybody's set-up.If you fail please drop me a line saying what method(s) you tried and what transpired .
There can of course be only one topic for tomorrow because we are all now in harmony aren't we???
Susan and I would like to try to recreate the excitement many of us shared back in June 1999 when we all had nice new and shiny copies of Songbook and at her suggestion we would all start playing the same disc in sync so that we could compare notes. I hope that by Friday all US and Canadian fans will have their own copy and sincerely feel compassion for those like catmanron in Oz and Gaby in Leicester who will have to wait a while
I will try to simplify the links which fall into two main categories
1. Those with mIRC
Either set it up from basic principles as per my tutorial at:- http://www.mirc.shorturl.com
and the new link configuration at:- http://johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/chatroom/newlink.htm
Or even simpler just copy the following link and paste it into your address bar

irc://irc.dilexnet.net:6667/gordonlightfootchat

Sorry but this board refuses to allow me to make that special format URL a clickable link
2.If you have yet to decide to go along with those who recommemnd mIRC
or are using a MAC and have yet to find the MAC equivalent
try either of these two browser methods
A. using the Java applet stored on my own web site at:- http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/chat/
or
B. the less elegant but functional IRC server's JavaScript method
Dilexnet Link
Here's hoping for a bumper turnout at 9pm EST
