*** Now talking in #Fian
*** flp has joined #fian
<Rigfennid> Dia duit, a flp! C�n chao� a bhfuil t�?
(Hello, flp! How are you?)
<flp> Great so far :-))
<chirho> Hi, flp, how are you tonight?
<chirho> oh, we hit enter at the same time! :)
<chirho> any trouble getting here?
<flp> Nope, came right in :)
<chirho> Good! now we need you to sign up to help
with the IRC-ATHON !
<flp> he he
<chirho> just one hour... please?
<Rigfennid> when is this being planned for?
<chirho> December 6, all 24 hours
<flp> Tonight I copied the inst. for using mIRC. I
want to know how to do all the "fun" things you
guys do with this thing.
<jande> what is the IRC-ATHON?
<chirho> flp, if you help with the I-A, I'll
personally teach you the fun!
<Rigfennid> that's a saturday...
<chirho> yup
<Rigfennid> not sure yet if i have a work-party
that i have to be at...
<chirho> IRC-ATHON...read about it on any BB or in
lesson six!
<Rigfennid> no schedule for next month yet
<chirho> ah, one hour!
<flp> I've had the inst. for getting in, but I've
always been intimidated with the fun stuff :)
<chirho> fun stuff IS fun! :)
<Rigfennid> i'd have to be all the way on the other
side of town
<chirho> borrow a friends puter!
<Rigfennid> as far away from my house north as Long
Beach is south
<flp> By then, I may be able to feel confident
enough to say yes :-0
<Rigfennid> no one nearby... that's a PC user... *g*
<Rigfennid> a lot of my friends are mac ppl
*** Mugs has joined #fian
<Rigfennid> we'll see...
<Rigfennid> i might be available anyway
<Mugs> Hi All
<chirho> welll, Rig, we need folks for the Mac, too!
<flp> hello
<chirho> Hi, Mugs
<flp> brb, have to go tuck in kids :)
<Mugs> How is everyone tonight?
<chirho> k
<chirho> and you?
<Rigfennid> what i'm meant was... *they* use it...
I don't/won't
<flp> ok, I'm back
<Rigfennid> not with a 1500ft pole
<jande> i never thought it was possible - i caught
that awful stuff Rig was complaining about a
week ago. it's nasty stuff, i should of had a
flu shot.
*** Marthe has joined #Fian
<Marthe> Aha!
<Rigfennid> hi there!
<Marthe> I found you all....
<jande> oh, no.
<chirho> Welcome, Marthe, you found us hehehe
<Marthe> Just wanted to make sure I was sending
people to the right server.
<Rigfennid> It appears we have a guest...
<chirho> :) THANK YOU :)
<flp> boy, we're in trouble now......
<Rigfennid> that's a good thing...
<chirho> caught behind the barn again!
<Marthe> You've had a few lost sheep looking for
you.
<Marthe> But now I know where to send them, so I'll
get out of your hair.
<chirho> Thank you for coming by
<chirho> :)
<Marthe> And anything you hear about me is
absolutely not true. :)
*** Marthe has left #Fian
<chirho> hohohoho
<jande> see ya Marthe ;)
<Rigfennid> nuts
<Rigfennid> and i had a funny comment
<flp> :)
<jande> i hope this isn't going to be a reenactment
of the last class!
<chirho> jande, I agree :)
<chirho> guess I should go lamb hunting!
<chirho> thought this week they'd make it on their
own... have sent emails, rigs have sent emails,
rigs bring em here to meet and folks still don't
get here!
*** possum has joined #Fian
*** chirho sets mode: +o Mugs
*** chirho sets mode: +o possum
<possum> Hi flp Glad you could make it.
*** RED2 has joined #fian
<chirho> Dirk2 is back in town. Got email today
*** Peg has joined #Fian
<Rigfennid> good, good
<chirho> Hi, RED2, take a bow! clap, clap
<chirho> Welcome, Peg
<Peg> Hi all
<RED2> thank you,Hi everybody
<Mugs> Hi bpossum, Red2 and Peg
<possum> Hi Mugs
*** Redcobra has joined #fian
<Peg> flp, the SHIPSLISt message I sent got
bounced back, wrong address.
<chirho> welcome all!
<Redcobra> hi everyone!
* Rigfennid will give it a little while more for
stragglers...
<Mugs> Hi Redcobra
* chirho says we have an offer from a special guest
speaker. :)
<Rigfennid> oh do we now?
<Rigfennid> who? who?
* chirho says do we want to have it here on IIGS?
<Redcobra> do tell...
* chirho says or do we want to go to VU for it?
<Rigfennid> can we trust vu?
<Rigfennid> to not die on us
* chirho says...I'm thinking to invite the FIANNA
List?
<Redcobra> better luck here, dontcha think?
<Rigfennid> well who is it?
<RED2> when?
<Rigfennid> that too
<chirho> and since everybody in the study group is
now officially in Fianna, shouldn't we share the
URL? For the Hideaway?
<Rigfennid> it's your baby... if you want to... go
right ahead
<possum> yes chirho I haven't given my group the
URL yet
<chirho> Think we should have our guest after the
IRC-ATHON?
<RED2> how many?
<Redcobra> what URL???
<Peg> The suspense is getting to me...<G>
<chirho> Maybe we should just STRONGLY suggest that
everyone join the FIANNA-L?
<flp> I'm confused, what are we talking about?
<Rigfennid> how can we be sure that everyone has,
or hasn't?
<Redcobra> I subscribe to Fianna-L, and I still
don't get any of this??!!
<chirho> Tell em to, if they miss out it was their
choice?
<Rigfennid> with the maiser lists you used to be
able to 'review' and get a list of subscribers
<chirho> Redcobra, I've been working on something
for surnames...
<Rigfennid> i don't think we can do that now
<chirho> Rig, we protected the FIANNA L from that,
but I could ask Cloudy to check...
<Redcobra> ooooh, a secret!!
<Rigfennid> maybe a fresh message to the list about
the Hideaway for the new subscribers is in order?
<possum> Right
<Redcobra> perhaps I accidentally deleted some
really good email from Fianna-L??
<chirho> After I get a form up for adding more
surnames and make the page indexed...at least.
Don't think I can do search yet on geocities...
<chirho> Probably not, Redcobra, Cloudy may not
have it in her welcome message..
<Redcobra> oh
<chirho> Though she was supposed to... :(
<Rigfennid> hmpf
<Redcobra> well, I may have been having one of
those brain-dead kind of days!
<chirho> after all, it's just a URL, right? hehehe
<Rigfennid> but a good one!
<Redcobra> oh you're KILLING me!
<chirho> hehehe!
<chirho> All right, read your FIANNA mail
tomorrow!!!!
<Redcobra> Ok!!!
<chirho> or later tonight. brb
<Rigfennid> So how are those paragraphs shaping up
that I'm going to be getting from the rigs...?
<Rigfennid> And I think there will only be a
morning presentation...
<Mugs> Have been giving it some thought but don't
have anything down on paper yet
<jande> mine will be fine once my head clears up
from this crummy cold. i will send what i have,
it seems the majority of my fian has fallen off
the face of the earth!
<Rigfennid> One of my uncles is coming in to spend
Thanksgiving weekend with us...
<Rigfennid> and he's getting in on Wednesday
<Rigfennid> So I think I should be there
<possum> How many paragraphs Rig? Chirho said
about two, but if you need more....
<Peg> and I will be gone on vacation this Friday.
<jande> how many people will be able to attend the
am meeting to give you added support?
<Rigfennid> i have no idea
<possum> Me too jande, but I do have flp here
<Rigfennid> 2 is fine, if even that much
<possum> Yeah flp
* Rigfennid would *like* to have at least one
person from each fian at the presentation...

<Redcobra> Mugs, lol!!!
<Mugs> :-)
<chirho> Rig, don't think in the program help...
have seen in some of the mirc websites, not
necessarily the official ones. check links on
"yellow pages" and Cesario's page

I can get some of my group chatting. :)
<chirho> December 6
<chirho> Saturday
<Rigfennid> will do...
<Rigfennid> and i'll have to wait and see about that
<flp> If I remember right tonight when I was
checking out the referred addresses that were
sent in my email about IRC, there was an address
specifically about AOL
<Mugs> What is it all about Chirho this is the
first i've heard of it
<RED2> time?
<chirho> Peg and Marthe and Cesario were talking
after the disaster Thurs night
<Peg> chirho, think we will get enough sign ups for
the 24 hours?
<chirho> Peg, I surely HOPE so! otherwise i'm
going to be d..n tired!
<Peg> Me too, I've already informed family, that I
am off limits for the 6th.
<chirho> Be nice if folks could take an extra hour,
just to be in the room and chat
<Redcobra> Where's the info on this chat-a-thon?
<chirho> Dec 6 is St Nicolas day, guess the I-A is
their goodies for this year!
<Mugs> I could manage some time that day. Just
tell me what you need
<RED2> all day on the 6th?12 to 12?
<chirho> Mugs, there's an announcement on the
lesson six... go to the URL and sign in :)

*** Peggy has joined #Fian
*** Peg has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
<Peggy> what happened?
<possum> flp you are doing fine
<possum> Sending chat msgs and everything :)
<Mugs> Split personality Peg
<Redcobra> whoa...
<Peggy> I think I'm schitzo tonight. I started to
ask how to sign on to fianna-l. I thought I was
on, but I havent' received anything.
<chirho> There isn't much
<Rigfennid> it's been a little quiet lately
<chirho> Directions are on both the group page and
the yellow page :)
<flp> possum, are you trying to talk me into doing
an hour?
<chirho> check your email first, I just sent
something out. If you didn't get it, then sign
up!
<jande> i don't have a message, chirho and i'm
pretty sure i was on the FIANNA-L
<chirho> Flp, she's trying to save you from me
twisting your arm to get four hours! ;)
<RED2> I thought i signed up when i started the
course-not sure
<chirho> sent it out ten min ago...gie it a few
more!
<chirho> gie=give
<Redcobra> brb, gonna check email!
*** Redcobra has left #fian
<Rigfennid> i have it, but sometimes messages are
slow to other places
<RED2> i don't dare check i'll never get back
<possum> No flp I really am just bragging on you
agin
<chirho> and some servers are slow to put messages
up
<flp> sure you are....
<possum> You are my only group member who is
chatting
<possum> :)
<chirho> RED2, you don't have to leave to check,
but we'll get into that latter...
*** Redcobra has joined #fian
<flp> :)
<chirho> wb
<Redcobra> Thanks Chirho....got it, haven't read it
yet, but got it!
<RED2> i'm the newest newbie around when it comes
to computers
<possum> You too are doing fine REd2
<Mugs> There is a lot to learn at first but after
awhile it starts to make sense
<RED2> and serious gen.
<Redcobra> Hey Red2, you're way ahead of alot of
folks! Can't get my mom to try this yet
<possum> Just get on IRC and chat
<chirho> RED2, what hour are you going to give?
You are needed! If you want to just stay in the
classroom to help the javachatters to hang in
there, that's VERY important!
<possum> Can learn fancy stuff later
<Redcobra> I can volunteer for an hour (gulp!), but
unsure what time yet.
<Mugs> I'm living proof you can teach an old dog
new tricks :-))
<chirho> hehehe Mugs
<Rigfennid> now where is this -athon thing going to
be?
<RED2> I tried javachat first
<jande> i got it, chirho.
<flp> Go ahead and put me down, just let me think
about a time for a bit
<Mugs> you are on mIRC now Red?
<chirho> The IRC marathon day will be centered on
channel33. After folks get on and off a time or
two with IRC, MaMaT here and turp will greet them
at their respective servers for punch and
cookies. Still have to ask texmom^... and who
else?
<RED2> yup
<chirho> flp, there's a URL with a form to sign up
upon.
<Mugs> Much better than the Java chat
<RED2> uh oh! TexMoM?
<flp> okay.
<chirho> tex^mom
<Rigfennid> how do they know where they're supposed
to go next?
<Peggy> I got the message chirho so I must be on
the list.
<possum> Fantastic chirho
<flp> I can usually get suckered into most
anything....as long as it's for the good :)
<chirho> on afternet..tex^mom MaMaT on IIGS
turp on dalnet
<Peggy> What time do you figure you will need the
most help?
<possum> I mean fantastic
<RED2> when my son in law hooked my mirc up he
goofed around and got me thrown off her channel
<chirho> Good, peg
<chirho> Peg, no real idea... maybe evening
<Redcobra> lol red2!!!
<Rigfennid> do they get to just go off on their own
to wherever they want? or is that set up
beforehand?
<Peggy> evening, EST?
<possum> Oh boy
<RED2> that's why i've avoided mirc!
<chirho> RED2, I'll speak to her, tell her you're a
nice kid just needed a little straightening out
! :)))
<possum> that should get everybody using the main
genealogy servers:)
<flp> Is that called the Luck of the Irish? :)
<Mugs> Watch out Red2 Tex Mom will get you....:-))
<RED2> I didn't even do it!!!sob sob
<Mugs> lol
<chirho> aw, there, now, RED2
* chirho takes out hanky and passes to RED2
<RED2> I'm banned from the gen. chat channel
<Peggy> Don't cry, it'll all come out in the wash.
<Peggy> I think I'm banned from a couple of them.
<chirho> Red2, those bans usually only last 30
days...
* Mugs gives RED2 a big warm hug
<Peggy> (Too many questions when I first signed on)
<Rigfennid> too many?
<RED2> me and boots-her son was on her end
<flp> Have you tried sending her a message
explaining the situation....maybe get a
"suspension"
<Rigfennid> there's no such thing?
* possum gives a big hug to RED2
<RED2> don't know how to reach her
<Redcobra> Well, gotta go, spied an email I've been
waiting long time for!
<chirho> email her, Red2
<Rigfennid> later...
<Redcobra> Will check out the duty roster for the
-thon thing
<RED2> where?
*** Redcobra has left #fian
<chirho> her URL is on yellow pages... her email
addy is on her URL...
* Rigfennid still has to see if i'll be available
that day...
<Mugs> I'll see if i have TexMom's email and send
it Red2
<RED2> ok, i'll try
<RED2> thank you
<Rigfennid> that was NOT grammatically correct...
<RED2> i might be available at the beginning and
the end
<chirho> GREAT!
<RED2> don't know about the middle
<RED2> when i can i'll pop in
<Peggy> I probably will pop in and out all day to
see what the traffic flow is.
<Mugs> What about the table of contents for our
study group that Marthe asked for in Lesson 5
<RED2> what are discussing? anything & everything?
<chirho> pick one hour and make it official, so we
KNOW we've got some times covered, k?
<chirho> We'll get it from your samples for the
format thing, Mugs
<chirho> Can rework it a couple of times...
<RED2> I keep forgetting my midnight is only 9 pm
for you
<Mugs> ok
<RED2> wait is that 12 your time?

:)
<jeanne> and o'possum!
* possum gives a big hug to jeanne

<jeanne> how is the new class?
<chirho> pretty good.
<Rigfennid> hey, we could always use another hand...
<chirho> different type of projects, tho
<jeanne> chirho!
<jeanne> :-)))
<Rigfennid> seems to be going all right, i think
* chirho gives jeanne a warm hug
<jeanne> well I didnt want to butt in here :-)
* Rigfennid (�`�.(�`�.(�`�. 4---{@ jeanne @}---
6.���).���).���)
* Rigfennid (_.�`(_.�`(_.�` 4---{@ jeanne @}---
6`�._)`�._)`�._)
<Rigfennid> nah, fennidi never butt in...
<Rigfennid> always welcome
<jeanne> I just have not had the time for VU yet :-(
<Rigfennid> whether original foot soldiers or
freshly inducted
<Rigfennid> time... what's that/
<Rigfennid> ?
<chirho> Marthe's working on an intermediate and an
advanced course... :)
<jeanne> LOL
<jeanne> oh GOOD!
<Rigfennid> excellent!
<chirho> There will be a minute fee, 10 to 12 $US
to keep VU going
<jeanne> maybe I will join you again :-0
<chirho> tiny fee
<chirho> Good!
<Rigfennid> T� go maith, jeanne! (All right,
jeanne!)
<chirho> We've got some grand folks here, and you'd
benefit from knowing them, as they would you
<jeanne> oh VU is charging a fee now?
<Rigfennid> they've had to start that
<chirho> yes, they're sponsorless
<jeanne> are the classes as large as they were?
<chirho> 1440 for this one
<Rigfennid> big enough, i guess
<chirho> 8000 was TOO many!
<jeanne> YES chirho!
<Rigfennid> absolutely!
*** jande has quit IRC (Leaving)
<jeanne> VU has no sponsers?
<jeanne> what a shame!
<chirho> no, AOL bought Compuserve.....
<chirho> so that took away sprynet
<Rigfennid> i heard about that
<jeanne> yep :-(
<jeanne> AOL should sponser!
<flp> I wonder how Marthe handles that many
people.......I don't think I ever could....
<chirho> ughn!
<Rigfennid> you'd think *someone* would sponsor
them!
<jeanne> I will have to look into that...hehehe
<Rigfennid> she doesn't have to... the groups take
care of that
-> [jeanne] USERINFO
<possum> Well the fees they are talking about are
very minimal Jeanne
<Rigfennid> not much really
<possum> Even for me
<possum> I am on a strict genealogy budget
<Mugs> Time for me to fade off into the sunset folks
<jeanne> well guess I better get back over to #gen
and let you guys study :-)
<Rigfennid> O�che mhaith, Mugs! (Good night, Mugs!)
<Mugs> See you later
<chirho> yes, possum, my friend, all you can spend!

<Rigfennid> gimme a minute or two... and i'll make
a quick text file and send it off
<chirho> Me, too?
<Rigfennid> then just copy it into your pops and
alias files
<Rigfennid> ok...
<Rigfennid> now i need a moment to do it
<Peg> Go raimh maith agat, Rig
<dddd> Popups are easy once you know how.
<dddd> Dia daoibh!
<chirho> Have lots of pops, no aliases, tho...
don't know how to make them work..
<Peg> oh,oh, like mother, like son.
<dddd> be right back going to make that a popup
<Peg> dddd is good at this stuff (I think Zonie
taught him)
<Peg> He didn't learn it from his mother...
<chirho> Zonie helped me a lot last term with IRC
<Peg> He has a great mirc page for newbies.
<chirho> Do you have the URL?
<Peg> yes, brb
<Rigfennid> ladies... it's incoming
<Peg> http://home.onestop.net/flfry/start.htm
<chirho> Got it! Thank you :)
<Rigfennid> now a word of caution!
<chirho> Thank you, Peg.
<Rigfennid> remove the 'nxx' at the beginnings of
the lines
<Rigfennid> and make sure the items are all on one
line
<Rigfennid> if they line break, they don't work
<Peg> Your welcome....okay, Rig, got it.
<Rigfennid> and above all... have fun with them!
<chirho> :)
<chirho> Now, Rig, how do I make an aliais, and how
do I get it to show up?
<Rigfennid> i wanna see you guys playing with this
stuff too
<chirho> I make lotsa pops, can't get alias to do
<Rigfennid> well, look inside the file
<chirho> and
<Rigfennid> for an example
<Peg> Do I just paste them into my popup screen
(once I have doctored them?
<Rigfennid> the editor has little tabs
<chirho> yes
<Rigfennid> paste the first part in the aliases
section
<chirho> k
<Rigfennid> the second in the popups section
<chirho> ah ha!
<chirho> and then
<Rigfennid> save the files
<chirho> and next, to use?
<Rigfennid> type the command that's at the front of
the line
<chirho> okay! :)
<Rigfennid> M�s � do thoil �... (Please...)
<Rigfennid> is... /pls
<chirho> got it :)
<Rigfennid> you're making more irc commands,
basically
<Rigfennid> so don't use those words
<Rigfennid> i did by accident once
<Rigfennid> i had an explanation of my name -- /nick
<Rigfennid> stupid
<Rigfennid> it's fixed now
<chirho> hehehe so it changed it!
<Rigfennid> no...
<Rigfennid> it took over
<Rigfennid> It comes from the title of a song by
Napoleon XVI, the same guy who did "They're
Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haa!"
<chirho> right. Understand now
<Rigfennid> and did that instead of changing the
nick when i wanted to
<chirho> hahaha
<Rigfennid> in fact... i discovered the mistake
when i first donned the uniform
<Rigfennid> tried to put it on, and got that
<chirho> This has been a very informative meeting,
thanks to you, RIG
<Rigfennid> T� f�ilte romhat, chirho! (You're
welcome, chirho!)
<chirho> And now I must put this tired gray head on
the feathers. See you next week if not before :)
