So I'm just testing out this chat software we've got on the board.

Come over and play here:

You don't have to register, you can just leave the password field blank.

Not sure if I'm going to keep this, but I'd like to test it out and see if it takes up a lot of resources.

WAHHHHH! Lost the connection, can't get back in. (The room thinks I'm still there, but believe me when I tell you, I'm not!)

Choose a different name :P

Ta. I'm AKA FishGirl. BTW, lime green is a bad bad bad colour to use.

Loving this chat thing. Especially since the computer at the house I'm staying at doesn't have AOL.

And AIM is SOOOO difficult to download.

Oh wait!

Hee!

Hey guys, we're talking about the Emmy's right now in the chat in My Room 1

So would anyone be interested in scheduling some chat times?

I know where we're all international it'll be a little tough, but it could be fun.

I'm up for it. If people arrange a time I'll try and be there, as long its not like 3am or something during the week.

Sure, count me in.

The Aussie gang went through a period a couple of weeks ago when we were in chat al day every day, but stoopid things like real life and work took over.

So what are good days and times for people?Do you all prefer weekends or week days better?

Would you like to see show specific chats? Say, Thursday is Buffy/Angel chat day, and each locality could meet at say 8 pm in their local time - or in the case of N. America, would 9est/6pacif work for people or is that too early for the west coasters? People from other localities come in during that time but be aware conversation would focus around whatever seasons is playing in the local area. Does that make sense?

Or we could have just general chat times, hopefully at least 1 a week that is convient for each time zone, and who ever shows up can decide the conversation.

Does anyone have other suggestions?

I like the idea of a general chat, since that would give me a chance to get to know the people outside the West Wing clique better. I think it's a fabulous idea, Veda.

Sounds good to me. I know that we're up late in the Uk, we can usually just catch the early risers in Australia. It'd be nice to chat to some of the rest of the gang!

Okay, I declare the first international 'fugee chat to be on Sunday/Monday November 24/25. The chat will begin on 11/24 at 3 p.m. pacific, 6 p.m. est, 11pm in the UK, 11/25 9 a.m. in Queensland AU. Hopefully anyone in a time zone not listed here can convert to the right time.

I nomimate Heatherbelle and BJC to each pick a few times over the next month to have chats that are convient to their respective country-folk. Announce the time here and put it on the calendar. =-O

Faaaaaannnnnnntastic. Thanks so much Veda.

Woo hoo!! 9 a.m. works fine for me!

Dude, you're giving me responsibility? Heh

the 11pm timeframe for the international chats work fine for me.

As for the national chats - if people have a preference for a certain time, let me know. Myself, I'd plump for an evening spot, cos that's when I can get online for a decent amount of time, but if there is a better time for the rest of you, I'm happy with that.

K, well for those of us below QLD, does it mean it's 10am our time? coz aren't you ahead of us now timewise with Daylight savings? or have I just lost the plot? could go either way.

This should be fun.

Here is a converter. It's set for the correct chat time, just choose your local on the left hand side to see where it is where you are.

Australia has some funky time zone breakups!

That is seriously funky time zones.

Wheras everyone else relates back to Greenwich Mean Time, which is easy for us Uk'ers. I've stood across the meridan there - it's very cool. Of course I was there when I was about 7 or 8 when we lived not far away.

Okay, now I just have to work out how I classify this time in my work calendar. Meeting to discuss international repercussions of learning & development strategic paradigms, perhaps?

Sounds complicated and ambigious (sp?) enough to be just about right.

The mass-chat sounds like much fun. H, if you remember could you kick me by email on Saturday to remind me about it? I am totally seive-brained at the moment.

Admitting you have a problem is half the battle I hear! Can't remember for the life of me who said that...

will attempt to remember virtual kick up the arse on Saturday. If I remember... Anybody else, feel free to remind me! As I too have the brien of a sieve.

How do the two of you survive without me to organise you?

With great difficulty.

Remember the chat is today!

Hey, Chat is still going everyone. Come join the party!

Since the chat seemed to go well at that time slot I've scheduled 2 more.

December 8(9) and December 22(23). 11pm GMT, everyone else can figure their time from that.

So glad that GMT is us. Trying to figure out the time differences always gets me confused.

Well the first one is the day I start my new job so I won't be there! But I'm on holidays for the second one, so I will be around for that.

wow, 48 people on the boards simultaneously yesterday. What happened?

wow, 48 people on the boards simultaneously yesterday. What happened?[/quote] Were the majority of them guests? If so I would guess someone at a popular board or web site linked to us. Nalian Dec 3 2002, 04:22 PM Or my browser had a porn like moment, and spawned 50 copies of tvr for me at once... ...just kidding :P Mirren Dec 3 2002, 05:59 PM QUOTE Were the majority of them guests? I have no idea: I wasn't here. (hmm, that's a strange concept). Anyway, on the forum index page it says there were 48 inmates online yesterday at 6:09pm (that would be GMT, I think). Veda Dec 8 2002, 02:12 PM Don't forget, chat is in a bit under 4 hours. Veda Dec 8 2002, 06:07 PM So... Nalian and I are sitting here by ouselves... Heatherbelle Dec 8 2002, 06:26 PM hey. I was reminding the UK gang earlier... Text messages ahoy! Joasia Dec 9 2002, 03:41 AM Aww I missed it. Sorry to have done so but I started work at 9am. I hope you all had a wonderful time. It's crappy too coz the day the next chat is scheduled, I work too. BJC Dec 9 2002, 05:35 AM Sorry I missed it as well. I was sitting in a staff meeting at new job trying to look smart. I'll definately be there for the next one - will be on holidays!! Woo hoo!! Piranha Dec 9 2002, 05:29 PM Sorry guys, FertWorld computers rolled over and died at about 6:30am, and we were out for almost 6 hours. As Beej so eloquently texted me last night, "Oh Crap", and "No Sh*t". Maybe next time. When is that again? BJC Dec 21 2002, 05:56 PM Just a reminder that there is another scheduled chat coming up. 22nd (US & Europe)/ 23rd (Australia). I think the times are 8pm est (US), 11pm (GMT) and 9am (QLD). Heatherbelle Dec 21 2002, 06:43 PM Beej reminded me, so I'll be there. Come and join us, so we don't feel all sad and lonely. Ambrose's Auntie Dec 21 2002, 07:59 PM And 10am Sydney. I'll be dropping by. Joasia Dec 21 2002, 10:22 PM Yay, I'm not at work till the eve tomorrow, so I'll be there. Piranha Dec 22 2002, 03:39 PM Oh yayy! Today, we are boss-free at FertWorld. Yeah - no-one's in charge. Well, I am, sort-of. So here I sit, at 6:35am, with the brilliant mj's TWW Soundtrack playing. I have brought us mini-Christmas cakes (the tuckshop is closed for two weeks) and am vastly looking forward to chatting! Meowcat Dec 22 2002, 05:12 PM Cool - looking forward to it. Go FishBoss : ) BJC Dec 24 2002, 07:44 PM A couple of days late, but thanks to everyone that came and chatted, its always fun! Sorry I left a couple of times without warning, the first time the power went out over the entire Sunshine Coast and the second time the computer had a spack attack. Veda Jan 8 2003, 05:05 PM How about some January Chat dates? Our usual time: Sunday January 12 @ 11 p.m. GMT Sunday January 26 @ 11 p.m. GMT (Both Monday morning in AU) And how about some diversity to get some people who can't make that time: Friday January 17@ 4 a.m. GMT (this is Thursday night in the U.S.) Wednesday January 22 @ 1 a.m. GMT (Tuesday night in US) Time Zone converter If anyone is interested in chat but all the times above are lousy for them, please let me know and we'll include a February time that is good for you :) I'm putting these on the calendar so watch there for reminders. Let me know if you're confused about the timezone thing. I'm trying to post everything on the date it will be at the time the chat starts in greenich mean. Heatherbelle Jan 8 2003, 05:13 PM Sunday's are good for me. But then you knew that - I think I'ne managed to get to most chats! They're fun, such a good laugh!
