Yahoo chat rooms have apparently succumbed to the vagaries of that organisation's
incompetence (is the best word I can think of) the Tuesday evening Chat sessions there have been deactivated. In general the alternative the original rik's room works fine, although from time to time some chatters are having a problem getting in most recently "guitarman" Peter see one hint below. I am going to post this on both the Newsgroup alt.music.lightfoot accessible via the archived Google Groups site at:-http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...usic.lightfoot or via any newsreader such as Outlook Express and on Florian's (corfid) Discussion Forum at http://www.corfid.com/cgi-bin/ubb/Ultimate.cgi we are getting a very satisfactory attendance in Rik's Chat Room every Friday evening at 9 pm EST last Friday there were a total of 9 including a pair of welcome "newcomers" "Dan from NY" and "mieman from Iowa". Tonight Ron from Melbourne is hibernating so he wont bother anyone who attends for once As previously recommended in my Newsgroup postings by far the best means to participate is to firstly download install and configure the Internet Relay Chat "client" mIRC full illustrated instructions and details are shown on my web site at http://johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/c...tingupmIRC.htm or my "shorturl" link http://www.mirc.shorturl.com the non-mIRC direct entry URL is http://chat.cjb.net/gordonlightfootchat or the "shorturl" link at http://www.rikschatroom.shorturl.com Please note that riks room requires the (automatic) downloading of a Java applet so if you do not immediately see a largish gray/grey rectangle loading ensure that your "Java scripting" has not somehow been set to "disable" Internet Explorer-tools-internet options-security-custom level then scroll down to the "scripting" options part and under java scripting select "enable" If you are perchance using Netscape tough! you will have to ask Ed Mullen any other questions please e-mail me By The Way using the direct method entails entering a nickname which you might find has already been registered by another punter configuring mIRC gives you the option I believe of picking any nick you desire once in the room either way you can simply change your nick by typing /nick followed by whatever name you want example type as follows /nick newname Cheers John Fowles please visit my Lightfoot webring ringmaster's page at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot/ for a list of Lightfoot-related sites While you are there please sign the guestbook [This message has been edited by fowlesjohn (edited October 18, 2002).] [This message has been edited by fowlesjohn (edited October 18, 2002).] [This message has been edited by fowlesjohn (edited October 18, 2002).] |

What about a voice chat? If you have a microphone, you can go to either one of two sites: www.Audio-Tips.com
or www.For-The-People.com and register to chat. Let me know if this sounds like a good idea. I'm registered at both places, so whichever one looks best, let me know. Thanks a lot. Matthew |

Last Friday's chat was interesting as always and we welcomed back "tilt" from somewhere in NY
So tonight as every Friday evening at 9pm EST come in to http://chat.cjb.net/gordonlightfootchat or click on my shorturl: http://www.rikschatroom.shorturl.com (I have just checked and both link to the familiar old room whereas the chatroom link on Rik's web site page now brings up a link to his proposed new Bravenet chat room only at the moment Even better is to get mIRC full details from my site page http://www.mirc.shorturl.com Which reminds me again that Erica promised a concise write up on the benefits of using mIRC "by thanksgiving" you said E which duly pased with nothing from Florida to elucidate my efforts to encourage use of mIRC But in particular mIRC facilitates the copying and pasting of text plus recall of your previous typed entries through the simple use of the up and down arrows. Some time ago it was suggested that each session should have a topic for discussion tonight I will propose that each of the "regulars" takes a turn at posting each weeks reminder and suggesting a topic for that evening's session TO start the ball rolling tonight I suggest we follow up on the very successful Newsgroup thread on favorite songs and lyrics see my summing up at http://www.favoritelyrics.shorturl.com By The Way the full newsgroup can be easily accessed at http://www.newsgroup.shorturl.com -- Cheers John Fowles see my Gordon Lightfoot Webring Ringmaster's page at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT While you are there please sign the guestbook |

P.S. I forgot to say two things
Firstly I forgot to press Erica last week in the chat room for her promised write up extolling the virtues of using mIRC. So be warned I am on the warpath Erkie!! Secondly I forgot to suggest a topic for tonight or ask last week for a volunteer to set this week's topic. In desperation I am going to suggest:- "which is your favo(u)rite Gord album cover and why? Keep taking the tablets and visiting the newsgroup alt.music.lightfoot at http://www.newsgroup.shorturl.com and of course my Lightfoot webring ringmaster's page at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot |

Just have a question about the chat room. (Being VERY computer challanged) would it be wise to install firewalls, etc., etc.???? I need all the advice I can get. Last night I know that people in the room knew my ISP, etc. Is this dangerous? Don't get me wrong, I'm not suspecting anyone else of anything. Am just questioning my own sanity when I don't know what I am doing. *lol* http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif ------------------ lam |

Watchman, Thanks so much! Will have to do that ASAP! I do have Norton Antivirus. It's a weird coincidence, but had just heard someone talking about "Zone Alarm" the other day. Had never heard of it before. Thanks again. ------------------ lam |

brink, You just got a gray screen at the chat room? Wasn't there even a little space to type a nickname in? I'm new at this, too. Hopefully someone will be able to help you figure this out before next Friday. ------------------ lam |

last friday the chat room resounded to the (typed) babble were 10 chatters
including a number of welcome new chatters including Louise Madison who posts on corfid Patricia the previously silent "hurricane7" "akaruius" from near Ottawa "Bud the spud" "kooz" who appeared to bre in/at Steubenville in ohio I am hoping that some of the above and both Susan and I will be participating this evening at 9pm EST the link is either:- http://www.rikschatroom.shorturl.com or http://chat.cjb.net/gordonlightfootchat or as always We recommend getting and setting up mIRC go to:- http://www.mirc.shorturl.com Erica's promised speel on mIRC will probably be a while forthcoming yet as as she is still punishing me for being tardy about an earlier project I had promised her so I consider that she is depriving other chatters of the benefits of her thoughts on this matter Another reminder:- the Lightfoot webring ringmaster's page at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot links you to a slew of Lightfoot related sites |

Brink I am so sorry that you were unable to get in last Friday as LAM pointed out you should have seen a small nickname entry box in the middle of the gray screen if not it might be a problem with your browser's
settings you need to be able to correctly load a Java "applet" small programme which is what the chat room is. But if you follow the recommendation to get to grips with mIRC which does not utilise the aspplet at all I think. As far as I can tell such a problem never occurs Cheers try again this evening BTW to those who are worried when using mIRC we cannot actually see your full e-mail address just an indication so that by inspired guesswork I was able to suss out LAM last week and that steubenville was the location for "kooz" another newbie as reported above |

Friday's chat Room
there was another successful chat session last Friday We did not see Louise or Victoria this time but welcomed back for the third time recently the room's founder Rik plus another (former) Oregon resident Susan E. Also making a welcome albeit brief appearance was "the watchman" well known amongst Florian's Corfid Discussion Forum afficiandos as a very frequent and loquacious poster there. tonight as usual there will be a session commencing at 9pm EST the direct link is http://www.rikschatroom.shorturl.com but it is more reliable and quicker if you install the mIRC client full details on my web ite at http://www.mirc.shorturl.com this page includes full congfiguration details irc link ref port number etc in a fully illustrated (screenshots) format. Rik was delighted to find all his old mIRC special codes were stil functional and the screen was soon full of graphical kisses being blown by Rik in Lori's direction. I had expected "brink" to turn up but he didn't or was unable to get in despite my message to him on the Corfid discussion forum at http://www.corfid.shorturl.com If you see this "brink" and still need help please e-mail me at fowlesjohn@hotmail.com Tonight's topic suggestion tonight I think we could usefully discuss the relative merits of the newsgroup (alt.music.lightfoot) short easy link http://www,newsgroup.shorturl.com and the alternative as offered on Florian's Corfid site In particular the fact that as the watchman recently demonstrated there one can use HTML and actually display pictures something that the non-binary newsgroup at least when viewed via Google groups as per the shorturl link I have given above cannot do Cheers John Fowles Finally my Lightfoot "Webring" ringmaster's site is available for you to use at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot please sign the guest book there so I have an idea who is using it and whether it is still useful as I plan a major revamp soon |
