<MCW> and speaking of which I have some resources for lookups but didnt know where to post except to BB in classroom

<MCW> The Gazetter is very interesting to read even if I wont find anything I need in it:)
<chirho> Which Gazetter?
<MCW> And it was fun to look in the 1912 plat book and see where I live now
<MCW> It is an obscure publication called Catholic Directory & Parish Gazetteer 1899
<chirho> 1899! American or Irish?
<MCW> it list all those who were registered in any churches here in that youar and it also has pictures that are one of a kind
<chirho> :)
<MCW> there are no othere places that they will be found
<MCW> Of the Diocese of Monterey and Los Angeles
<chirho> Sounds "kwel" :)
<MCW> even the ads are great to read
<MCW> :)
<chirho> hehehe, wish the prices still were real!
<MCW> I got UFT and am having a bear of a time getting it installed
<chirho> Is that part of the ftm group?
<MCW> I also work for the priest who is the archivist for the Doicese of Orange and San Juan Capistrano
<chirho> :) Gives you a chance to search some records?
<MCW> boy when you see the prices and wages and such
<chirho> hehehehe
<MCW> it is all so interesting
<MCW> and the records Jesh
<MCW> so many are very hard to decipher I will not be ablre to read normal writing soon
<chirho> hohohoho sounds like a nurse talking about the doctors' writing!
<MCW> yup
<chirho> you said you're taking seven courses, where are you in school?
<chirho> and what are you studying?
<MCW> I am taking Visual Basic, HTML 101, Web Design, Netscape, Irc Magic, ICQ, PIG-I

<MCW> but I also work
<MCW> Eagel's Nest- the URL for study groups info at http://members.tripod.com/~MCW_2/EagelsNest/en
<MCW> lol
<chirho> gulp!!
<chirho> LOL :)
<MCW> had to do that so I could keep myself straight
<MCW> but my biggest problem is getting to meetings cause of still being at work
<chirho> yep
<chirho> know that feeling
<chirho> :(
<MCW> thank goodness for logs:)
<chirho> at work, in meetings at work, bored to tears in meetings at work, and missing 'em here!
<MCW> yes true true
<MCW> :)
<chirho> See you're with the migrating folks. Have you all picked topics, methods, etc?
<MCW> in kwesters we dont really have one subject we are all doing something different Some are writing reports others are making search trail and different stuff
<MCW> noe with the migration group I dont know
<chirho> :) Sounds interesting
<MCW> the eo group is kwesters UK Kilt Quest at least we came up with a name
<chirho> neat one, too!
*** Joins: flipper ([email protected])
*** Joins: abbi-- ([email protected])
<MCW> had big discussion about who actually even wore kilts!
*** chirho sets mode: +o flipper
<flipper> hi guys
*** chirho sets mode: +o abbi--
<abbi--> Hi everyone
*** flipper is now known as Rig4
<MCW> I thought all did but others say only the scottish did
<MCW> but I have my kilt but I am also Irish and scottish so I m not sure where it came from
<chirho> The kilt questions get batted into the ground every few months on both the SI list and the Scotland list :)
<Rig4> yep
<Rig4> how are you all doing tonight?
<MCW> :)
<abbi--> Great :)
<Rig4> chirho, is there anything pertinent we have to discuss or just a review :)
<chirho> Supposedly the Irish had em first, like bagpipes, and took em to Scotland. Of course the scottish say the irish didn't have tartans... etc., and on it rages :)
<MCW> lol I am sure we will also get to that discussion also:)
<chirho> Rig4, Like to get reports on the fians :) and make sure everyone's doing okay on lessons. Otherwise don't know. How are the newbies and IRC?
<MCW> but is it such a big deal anyways
<Rig4> that's all I had planned, but was wondering if you'd come across anything else
<chirho> Not really.
<Rig4> only to those who want to make it one MCW
<MCW> good cause I don't think it is
<chirho> Been working extra time at hosp. due to the recent events in this area. All the schools are sending in all their kids who look at one crossed, knee jerk to the killing :(
<Rig4> I skim the emails about it just in case I might miss something.....but that's all I do is skim
<Rig4> chirho, where are you?
<MCW> and I am glad to see a cookbook going I didnt see that before I have faxed all my irish priests and told them to raid their moms kitchens and send to me
<Rig4> which cookbook, MCW
*** Joins: sitka ([email protected])
<chirho> Erie PA..8 miles from Edinboro, PA where the 14 year old shot a teacher and wounded some classmates
<MCW> I saw that there was a cookbook being worked on somewhere
*** chirho sets mode: +o sitka
<chirho> MCW, have started on on our site :) Only two recipes so far!
<sitka> o.k. chirho...what does "sets mode:" mean?
<chirho> Works best if there's a story with the recipe :)
<Rig4> okay, I thought you must be around there.....I know what your occupation is and you have my honest appreciation for what you do....I used to work as a Paramedic
<chirho> sitka, means we made you an "op"
<sitka> o.k.
<MCW> LOL hopefully I will be able to contribute more One of the priests is coming from ireland next month so I have added cookbooks and history of cooking to the list of resources I have asked him to bring
<Rig4> over time sitka, you'll get all the mIRC stuff figured out
<chirho> :) ;) :)
<sitka> can anyone help me make mIRC a shortcut on my desktop? It is a shortcut on my start menu..but it would be easier on desktop.:)
<abbi--> I have a number of languages but computerese isn't one of them!:)
<MCW> you can do that in windows explorer
<MCW> go to the mirc file
<sitka> I figured out that you are working on a cookbook.
<sitka> then what?
<MCW> and chose Shortcut to desktop
<chirho> sitka, put the start of one in the Hideaway :)
<MCW> right click on it
<sitka> too easy for me, I guess! Thanks
<Rig4> the cookbook has two recipes in it in the fianna web site
<chirho> Just as another Fianna service to help folks learn about their heritage.
<sitka> is the cookbook a project for the total class or just a group?
<chirho> Anyone is welcome to submit :)
<Rig4> small group tonight, so far
<chirho> No group has it for a project. More important stuff in the guide for projects.
<sitka> like..I'm supposed to be working on "vital records" I'd be glad to do so if I knew what to do
<chirho> Does anyone know why CABBAGE witih the corned beef?
<MCW> Readers digest also has put out a book cook book series called heritage I have the one about the early american cooking but I will write up what they ssay about what came from ireland and submit it
<MCW> oh cabbage I was told was cause it killed the bacteria in the beef
<chirho> That would be nice. Not your main project, tho, this is an extra:)
<MCW> not sure if that is so though
<chirho> MCW, nice idea but not killing bacteria :)
<sitka> as far as cookbook goes...why spareribs and sauerkraut?
<MCW> LOL
<MCW> sounded a bit feeble when I was told also
<sitka> what is LOL, please?
<chirho> Back to corned beef... anyone give up yet? hehehe
<MCW> but it would have been nice if it did:)
<Rig4> cabbage with corned beef is an american transition, but it got the start that in order to preserve the meat they had to corn it, then cabbages were so much in abundance that they just put the two together.......I think :)
<sitka> you and your "hehehehe"
<MCW> maybe would have saved alot of food poisioned people at that time
<chirho> logical but not right hehehe
<chirho> hehehehe
<Rig4> spareribs and saurkraut are also german
*** Joins: PBN ([email protected])
*** chirho sets mode: +o PBN
<sitka> what do you mean also?
<chirho> Hi, PBN :)
<sitka> I thought corned beef and cabbage was Irish? Hi PBN
<Rig4> spareribs and saurkraut are found in various cultures
<chirho> we're collecting guesses about why it was CABBAGE and corned beef :)
<PBN> Hi1 Everyone.
<Rig4> cabbage also soaks up any grease.....
<sitka> of course...cabbage & sauerkraut are kind of one and the same
<PBN> Corned Beef and cabbage seem to be popular in Aus. U.S. and ireland
<chirho> way off base folks :)
*** Joins: possum ([email protected])
<sitka> hi possum...my MO buddy
<chirho> a genealogy-related reason!
*** chirho sets mode: +o possum
<possum> Hi sitka :)
<Rig4> hmmmmmmmm
<Rig4> hi possum
<sitka> has to do with family or heritage?
<abbi--> Hi again possum :)
<chirho> possum, we're having a guessing session about why CABBAGE and corned beef
<PBN> Probably it was cheap or home grown in ireland
<chirho> yep has to do with heritage and reasons for leaving homeland.
<sitka> like the potatoe famine?
<Rig4> cabbage is one of they're major produce crops
<MCW> case it could be stored for so long
<PBN> It is not very popular in U.K.
<sitka> o.k. chiro...fill us in!
<chirho> not even warm. Political reason!
<abbi--> French Canada makes boiled dinner with corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes.
<MCW> oh political?
<Rig4> hmmm....could it be, that with the potatoes all gone they had to resort to the cabbage to take the place of potatoes?
<chirho> hint, corned beef goes UNDER the cabbage. Cabbage smells
<sitka> so do I....that sounds good to me!
<sitka> can't have anything to do with the UK, can it?
<MCW> and so did the politicians
<sitka> I agree!
<Rig4> LOL
<chirho> Tenents weren't allowed to have beef! So they cooked it under cabbage to hide the smell :) Things that bad made folks leave!
<MCW> wow
<sitka> aaaahhhh
<Rig4> hmmmm, great lesson, thanks chirho
<sitka> what's LOL
<Rig4> laughing out loud
<chirho> laugh out loud LOL!
<MCW> I can't wait to tell that to the person who gave me the answer about bacteria:)
<sitka> and where do you come up with that stuff!
<PBN> How much of the Cookery Book is done
<chirho> hehehe, my secret! :)
<Rig4> 2 recipes
<sitka> what kind of recipes are we collecting? all Irish?
<chirho> Yep
<chirho> to help folks know about their heritage
<chirho> a side project
<Rig4> should we get started on some fian items...or does chirho have more Irish words of wisdom
<PBN> I will have to see what I can remember from my mother and grandmother
<sitka> wisdom????????????
* chirho covers mouth and sits on hands :)
<sitka> I'll have to talk with my cousin (if he's talking to me)
<sitka> you should cover mouth and sit on hand :)
<Rig4> okay, how can you sit on both hands and cover your mouth at the same time, chirho
<possum> chirho
* chirho giggles, and stays quiet
<possum> They ate potatoes 3 times a day!!!
<possum> Just boiled potatoes!!
<sitka> until they ran out and ate cabbage!
<Rig4> how is everyone doing on projects? Have you started?
<PBN> Irish mixed grill boiled pot. baked pot and fried pot.
<possum> How can they have recipes heheh???
<possum> PBN I loooove it ROTFL
<PBN> Have started research on irish Convicts to Aust.
<chirho> :)
<Rig4> somebody asked a bit ago about vital statistics
<PBN> Have contacted members of my group but no reply
<abbi--> Our fian will be working on 1798 revolution
<sitka> ?????? my study group is "vital record" and my project is "vital records" can they be intertwined?
<PBN> I think we are in the same group sitka
<sitka> Rig4...could use all the help we can get!
<sitka> goodooo PBN
<sitka> so what are we doing?
<Rig4> how broad are you getting there sitka.....is there a specific item you'd want to work on?
<chirho> sitka, find some aspect of searching vital records that's interesting to you, follow it through, and write about how to do it for the guide :)
<chirho> See what's already there so you don't duplicate :)
<Rig4> under the heading of vital records....
<sitka> specifically????????
<sitka> like birth, or death, or what?
<PBN> Convicts can go under vital records?
<chirho> birth, death, marriage, divorce
<Rig4> census, marriage records, birth certs, death certs, etc
<sitka> PBN...do you have a specific?
<PBN> Yes Convict transportation to australia
<sitka> OK chirho...I thought last time chiro looked too short :)
<Rig4> a lot of people on the emails are ALWAYS wondering where to go or what to do or what to mail to get info
<Rig4> ie, what form, cost, who to send it to......
*** Quits: abbi-- (Ping timeout)
<sitka> I wondered about the mailing aspect and if it was just supposed to be what could be found on the www
<chirho> oops, get out the glue!
<PBN> Aus. unfortunately doen,t keep census records
<Rig4> no, you can include info on FHC's
<sitka> ok......what is FHC? :)
<sitka> some kind of channel?
<Rig4> or anywhere you find to get info.....churches, courthouses,
<Rig4> family history center
<sitka> thanks
<sitka> PBN are you from AUS?
<PBN> Yes
<sitka> possum.......how's the weather there??????73 here today
<possum> Windy volunteers at an FHC. i told her she would be great on FHC records
<PBN> &8 ans sunny
<Rig4> Any questions concerning any of the lessons so far?
<PBN> 78 i meant
<possum> I am going to stay here tonight for a while!!
<sitka> I sure am learning a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!
<PBN> I haven't quite got the hang of this weeks lesson
<Rig4> how's that?
<possum> Cause we are alll gone by the time she gets home. Tuesday is the day she volunteerrs apparently and she is on the West Coast!!!
<PBN> I haven't spent much time on it
<chirho> You know, timeline for Ireland would make a neat project, too!
<Rig4> yes it would
<sitka> I got one histerical :) society in OH can't make up my mind about the other
<PBN> Good idea
<sitka> yes it would
<possum> There is one somewhere though.
<chirho> CelticKnot is in Ireland most of this class...
<sitka> my family tree CD has a time line....wars...presidents..etc...really good stuff
<chirho> We haven't heard from Batair
<Rig4> I haven't looked at this week's lesson yet, I'll get it after meeting....work has slowed me down this time around
<chirho> And PBN's doing convicts to AU
<possum> i sent in the bookmark to the Fianna site the 1st one the link site.
<PBN> I sent him an EMail
<chirho> Maybe sitka could do a timeline?
<PBN> No reply
<possum> However, I am not sure it is still up!!
<Rig4> sitka, does that CD include timeline for Ireland? or only your family
<sitka> oh oh.....I haven't looked yet this week...I was talking about last week's
<sitka> timeline is over many years...spanish american war..civil war...etc
<chirho> Right, but we need for Ireland :) Could act as a table of
<sitka> if I remember correctly...it's just USA
<PBN> I must look on the net to see a Timeline
<Rig4> do you think you could work on one for Ireland?
<chirho> contents to the historical section of the guide! :)
<sitka> if I knew where to start..sure
<sitka> I suppose this is an extra project too?
<Rig4> I think you'd get a lot of info from the FHC, also your local library
<chirho> sitka, prehistory... Irish records (oral) handed down from the 500 or 600's BC
<Rig4> not necessarily
<chirho> Sitka, as your project this term :)
<chirho> Not a side project at all!
<PBN> II don't mind helping Sitka
<chirho> Very important
<chirho> :)
<chirho> :)
<Rig4> that would be great you two....
<sitka> oh....you know there is a FHC not too far from where I live..I just need the time to get there...
<chirho> Would use as TOC for the history section :) Make item into link when someone does article on it :)
<sitka> Yes chirho....:) :)
<PBN> Can you contact Batair chirho
<sitka> what's TOC?
<chirho> TAble of Contents
<sitka> ok
<sitka> how does one make a link?
*** Joins: abbi-- ([email protected])
<chirho> PBN, everyone gets the MOTD
<chirho> sitka, I make the links in the coding. You give me the data!
<PBN> Yes perhaps it is too much for him
<sitka> you mean I have to talk to you even more?
<sitka> just kidding :):):):):):)
<chirho> hehehehe just send an email with the data arranged nicely
<sitka> oh...nicely now you want!
<chirho> yep!
<sitka> would you give me a starting point, please??????
<chirho> I try very hard to reproduce your input via the coding!
<PBN> I will see what i can find about both subjects and email you sitka
<sitka> thanks PBN
<chirho> 500 BC
<chirho> for real.
<chirho> see the ancient Irish names page. old.html (click it here!)
<sitka> you hhhhhhaaaaaaaavvvvveeeee to be kidding!
<sitka> where's that?
<chirho> on the fianna hideaway
<Rig4> it would be great to see you go as far back as you can.......then, next term some one else can also add a few hundred years....
<chirho> check on the front page
<sitka> a few hundred years you want?
<sitka> and what kinds of things do "we" want on this timeline?
<chirho> actually there's a site you can download the annals of the four masters from :)
<sitka> care to share?
<sitka> what four masters?
<sitka> I suppose you are one :)
<chirho> Main points in the early times... less than one per century until the scotia go to scotland.. a little more there... then a few and the gallowglass, plantation, and so on in a tad more detail
<Rig4> battles, if you find info, rulers, major changes that affected how the country ran ie, the potato famine, what do you think chirho
<chirho> Don't let it get toooo involved. Yep Rig4
<chirho> NOT all rulers, we already have a list :)
<PBN> Do you need web sites?
<sitka> please?
<chirho> Just ones that make big historical changes
<chirho> No, we need facts. :) Have sites :)
<sitka> and since I'm looking...I must as well look long
<sitka> PBN...want to help...we'll do a duo
<PBN> That is good
<PBN> Righto!
<chirho> (Guess that adds sitka and PBN to the history fian as a ssubgroup?)
<PBN> Fine with me
<sitka> o.k. I've got your e-mail...was that supposed to be ssubgroup?
<abbi--> Welcome :)
<Rig4> I do have some ruler info back to 678 AD from my husbands tree, if you need some names or I knkow of a web site with accurate info for that same family with variants in the names
<chirho> :)
<Rig4> let me knkkow if you get in a bind and if it would help you out
<sitka> 678 A.D.???????????
<sitka> anything will help us out
<PBN> It could be a good help
<possum> Chirho that is really great idea cause even if there is a timeline on the web using a linked timeline as a table of contenrs is clevetr and unique idea
<chirho> sitka, the first important Irish thing was the coming from Spain in 500 something BC!!!
<sitka> what?????????????
<sitka> you know I'm really a NNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWBBBBBBBIIIIIII

*** Quits: Rig4 (good night one and all :))
<sitka> this grandmother of 9 is (was) going to be out of here
<PBN> I might find some more ancestors
<chirho> Actually, encylopedia britannica probably has more than you'd need for the time line :)
<chirho> 9 grandchildren Wonderful :)
<PBN> I only have 5 g children
<sitka> sure.....now you tell us
<chirho> hehehe
<chirho> and did you see the example above?
<sitka> it was more fun the other way.......
<sitka> what example?
<sitka> you mean the one about only events...not details?
<chirho> 1624 pilrims land at Plymouth rock//1772 Continental congress//
<chirho> right
<sitka> 1,624 pilgrims landed at Plymouth? :)
<chirho> give or take a few ;)
<sitka> hehehehehehe
*** chirho sets mode: +o PBN
<possum> Do you know that you can get Britanica free for a week??
<sitka> I really like doing that hehehehehehe
<sitka> on the web?
<sitka> PBN...I have 5 kids to start with...so 9 ain't too bad
<possum> I did that during break because I wanted to get a head start on my projects
<PBN> We only have 2 kids
<possum> really din't get much done Where does the time goes
<sitka> so 5 is pretty good
<PBN> No time now have to work on the Study subject
<sitka> possum...is that britanica on the web and how do we get to it?
<possum> I want to get Britanica on CD. Much cheaper that a subsriction!!
<chirho> and we have 11 children and so far they've only managed to get it to 13 grandchildren, but another son is getting married in August :)
<sitka> are you kidding?
<chirho> this time i'm serious :)
<possum> Actually I wannt the actual books butI have no place to put them
<sitka> ooooooooooooooo I'm impressed!!!!!!!!
<sitka> where are you from chirho?
<possum> I have Encart but a have decided I NEED Britanica!!
<PBN> Encarta should have some of the info as well
<sitka> oh good...I have Encarta
<chirho> mainly from Philadelphia, but currently in Erie Pa for another year or so
<PBN> I love reading PA. All the shops
<sitka> and what does that have to do do with having 11 kids...cold winters?
<sitka> I think PA is a beautiful state.....
<chirho> Lived there a while, too, PBN. Nice people and good PA DUTCH cooking!
<possum> sitka Encarta has a pretty good section on ireland
<possum> Britanica is even more extensive
<sitka> but how do I find it?
<possum> An Encyclopedia would be just fine for a general overview!!!
<sitka> at least it's a place to start!
<possum> Actually you could sign up for the free week....
<sitka> want to share how and where?
<possum> Pick a week when you have some free time so you could really use it!!!
<sitka> good idea
<PBN> WWhen will that be
<possum> Just a sec sitka and I will get up the URL
<sitka> are you kidding????????who has free time?????????
<sitka> chirho did you leave us?

<chirho> oops, not even a goodnight?
<possum> chirho i get to my Gen Society and the FHC so infrequetnly that my films keep getting returned
<chirho> me even worse, it has stairs, so I can't get in unless it's a very healthy day ... so far haven't made it :(
<chirho> Thinking about buying their new CD
<possum> Had to pay an extra months rent on an AGLL film at my neighbors a mile away
<chirho> hehehe
<possum> not a good time of year to help :(
<PBN> I have a FHC not too far away from me
<chirho> :) PBN, don't forget me, I'll send you an email once the projects are coded.
<possum> I am thinking about running in and getting film and bringing it here and reading it on fiche reader
<PBN> Whenever you like chirho
<possum> I don't have a microfilm reader!!!
<chirho> Would like to get some of the main numbers for main censuses etc posted on the county pages :)
<possum> Really great idea chirho
<chirho> Stole the Irish National Archive and Irish Library numbers from the IRLGEN site, since it's drifting down...
<Rig4> Is someone working on maps this term, or am I dreaming?
<possum> Will help if I can :(
<chirho> Not officially
<possum> we are nearly done planting so there is hope!!!
*** Joins: sitka ([email protected])
<chirho> But there are some marvelous new URL's I'm saving to code up a "map section" in the Guide
<PBN> Hi Sitka
<chirho> SITKA :) :)
<sitka> hi hi
*** chirho sets mode: +o sitka
<possum> Sitka!!!
<sitka> what
<chirho> You surelly do work fast for a NEEEWWWWBIIEEEEE ;)
<possum> HI!!! :)
<sitka> oh....hi!!!!!! how's the mighty mo?
<possum> Hear you got your project done. Wow!!!
<sitka> are we really done?
<Rig4> I would love to see us post current maps and maybe, a map of every say 50 years previously.....soo many towns have disappeared....I think it would be a GREAT project for future times
<chirho> :)
<sitka> I thought we'd have to do much more
<Rig4> hi Sitka!!! Good job
<possum> Yes
<chirho> Wow, Rig, do you have a scanner? I have a scanner, no maps :(
<PBN> thanks for those URL's sitka
<Rig4> I have a scanner....no maps
<sitka> hi Rig4 yes I have a scanner and I know I didn't scan you anything yet
<possum> I would love to steal ancestry maps (I am a subscriber) but would be unethical :(
<sitka> and you're welcome...hope you can get something out of them
<possum> I too have a scanner chirho!!!
<chirho> Yes, we don't want to be smelly, we want good material :)
<sitka> are we back to smelly?
<possum> That is what I did on the VU break
<sitka> what, got smelly?
<chirho> LDS have some maps for each county that were done by some students in Londonderry,
<possum> I really meant to get a running jump on projects....
<chirho> But there's not much online.
<chirho> Good verbal sites, now TWO of them...
<possum> but I finally got my tutorial done!!!
<Rig4> HLA keeps asking me every time I've been to the Ireland chat on Mondays if I've ordered my maps yet......not yet... :(
<chirho> both searchable..
<possum> We have had the thing for some time:(
<sitka> why are we talking about scanners?
<PBN> What is the number for the Irish chat
<possum> DH asked when exactly I was planning to learn to run it :(
<chirho> Trying to think about getting some historically accurate maps online, sitka
<Rig4> 3 pm central time in IIGS #ireland
<possum> What about copyright chirho???
<sitka> chirho...have you put together the stuff we sent on our project and where is it so we can look at it?
<chirho> Have to use OLD maps, or redraw 'em
<Rig4> we could always ask permission
<sitka> Sorry I'm late....just got home from church meeting
<chirho> sitka, not online yet, about half coded. Will send URL as soon as it's up :)
<possum> Everytime I go to my genealogical Soiety (which hasn't been often recently :(
<possum> I copy stuff etc...
<sitka> shame...shame....:(
<possum> Anyway am concerned about copy right!!!
<Rig4> whats the name of the place that handles the old maps....ah yes the ordinance maps
<chirho> hehehe, sitka and PBN are too fast for old chirho's fingers!
<PBN> Poor Chirho
<chirho> ordnance survery maps are crown copyright, copyrighted forever
<sitka> possum...I agree with you...I really do! but how to purchase maps? and is this another class project?
<PBN> She keeps us busy
<sitka> yes she does:)
<Rig4> would maps be under the same copyright law as music is.....if you change one word or one or two notes, it's no longer under that copyright?
<chirho> Nope
<chirho> :(
<chirho> Need to redraw 'em
<Rig4> it was an idea
<sitka> if we redraw 'em they won't be too awfully accurate
<chirho> Sitka, nothing says we couldn't use a light box...
<PBN> Depends
<sitka> what is a light box?
<Rig4> maybe someone could be in luck that's in the next class....and happen to have some old old maps....handed down thru the family...
<chirho> there are some FABULOUS maps online for USA, 1850 I think
<chirho> hehehe Rig
<sitka> wouldn't that be nice...
<chirho> light box = box with glass top, used for tracing.
<possum> light boxes are very simple....
<sitka> ok. now I'll look for maps...
<possum> We have a homemade one...
<sitka> are we really done with our project? our time line didn't have a time line, did it?
<chirho> speeeeedy sitka...we're talking about for NEXT term :)
<possum> We made it years ago for reding farm maps...
<PBN> I could only find it up to1974
<Rig4> it would be very close that way....and they couldn't say that we just scanned them in.....
<possum> Scanning is faster Rig 4
<chirho> 1974 is enough for now. We're looking for DEAD people :) You can always add later.
<PBN> Isn't scanning acceptable
<sitka> well if some of us get the maps scanned to you who have light boxes...we're all set, aren't we?
<possum> possum has become very laaaazy
<PBN> Good thinking
<Rig4> yes...but the copyright laws...
<sitka> scanning I would think would be the same as copying
<possum> light box is covered with dust!!!
<PBN> Dust it
<sitka> hear hear!!!!!!
<chirho> scanning, printing, then making one using a light box is new work...
<sitka> right!!!!!!!!!
<chirho> doesn't break copyright
<possum> in corner of office with old family phots piled on top!!!
<chirho> :)
<PBN> I agree
<sitka> right!!!!!!!!!
<Rig4> are you sure.....
<chirho> hehehehe
<possum> Scannnes are faster hehehe!!!
<possum> K
<possum> chirho
<Rig4> I thought scanning was a copyright problem
<chirho> seems like a good way to pass long farm winter evenings :)
<sitka> is it a copyright problem?
<chirho> Rig, scanning and putting the scan on line is copyright problem.
<PBN> Are you on a farm chirho
<possum> Could actually UNCOVER light box :(
<sitka> that would be a start!
<chirho> Scanning as part of "an artistic process" isn't copyright problem, if new product results...
<possum> poor laaazy possum
<chirho> PBN, not on farm. grew up on farm :)
<possum> spoiled by puters....
<sitka> that's what possums are, right?
<chirho> hehehe
<chirho> poooooooor possum ! ;)
<possum> yes chirho it is vey sad hehehe
<sitka> PBN....have you had time to check out any of those URLs?
<PBN> Poor Possum
<PBN> Not yet
<Rig4> well, I think some sort of maps would really be a great project
<PBN> Have been busy typing up info
<sitka> hold it!!!!!!!did our time line have a time line?
<PBN> thanks for them sitka
<PBN> I think so
<sitka> I just hope they are of some use!
<chirho> Just to be done by next week, sitka. And you beat that by MILES :)
<Rig4> sitka, PBN did you get my email with the two addy's about royalty?
<PBN> Aren't we clever
<sitka> chirho...I know...but we didn't set a date.......from...to....
<PBN> I don,t think so sitka
<chirho> That's okay sitka :) What you have is marvelous :)
<PBN> I just went as far as i could both ways
<sitka> as long as you say so :):):):)
<PBN> Who are we to argue?
<sitka> now I have to concentrate on the rest of the class work...am behind
<Rig4> the key thing is it's a start....can always be added to.....good thing to continue next term :)
<chirho> sitka's like the rest (most of the rest) of us, behind :)
<sitka> whose behind are we talking about now :):):)
<PBN> Not mine
<chirho> don't get fresh, now !!
<sitka> better not be mine
<sitka> you started it
<Rig4> well we study the past, might as well be behind in the past :)
<chirho> hehhe
<sitka> hehehehe
