There is no transcript, parachat won't allow it (poo!) There was really no ground-breaking news. Things we learned: They had 2 weeks to find a trumpet player before HOT was recorded. They lucked into Duke. the Zippers loved playing small venues more than anything. Ken gets really goofy after no sleep. Andy Harman is good at pool, better at kissing. Tom really likes the band Humble Pie, and thinks Jerry Shirley is a great drummer (?????) Tom likes to poke fun at Andrew Bird, and asked him if he "remembers blowing bubbles as a kid" and you know the punchline. My friend Sandi already bought me a ticket to the SNZ show on the 16th. but i'm not sure if i can go yet. i totally forget everything else. someone else tell them! anyway, thanks to all who came! as for IRC...okay here's my deal with that: 1. Tom is VERY new to computers. I don't think Ken knows what IRC is, and therefore neither of them could help the other get on there. 2. Not everyone here knows what IRC is. it's easier to point them to a web site. 3. Ken and Tom just formed a new record co. named "IRC" and i seriously think they didn't know what i was talking about when i suggested it as a chat client. 4. Freaks and weirdos can come in at any time. oh wait, that's us. I will try again sometime, and try for IRC. i know this chat room was a tough little cookie, but it's all i had for the moment! once tom gets better with his computer i will try to coach him through it. i know, it's just a download but it is so not-graphical that it is daunting to some people. Jess PS andrea! i apologize for Shaun! he is not nice :) And there's a few cats on the list from the left coast, so don't feel so sad, baby! *********************************************************** * --+-READ THE SHRUBBERY-+-- * http://www.theshrubbery.com --New Every Month- -Humor, Music, News and More-- *********************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Nov 1999 10:48:00 -0500 From: Andy Harman Subject: Re: stuff At 06:52 AM 11/15/99 -0500, you wrote: I'm kind of curious as to where the pool & kissing thing came from :-) Back last year, I watched Ken shoot pool for a round, and don't recall kissing anyone... ah well I guess I had to be there... >I will try again sometime, and try for IRC. i know this chat room was a >tough little cookie, but it's all i had for the moment! once tom gets >better with his computer i will try to coach him through it. i know, it's >just a download but it is so not-graphical that it is daunting to some people. It's not "daunting" it just doesn't work... I clicked the "download" button and got a broken link! Where else can I get the ParaChat applet, and more importantly, how can I test it to see if it works _before_ the next chat? I'm sorry, but I deal with this kind of thing all day long and I have ZERO patience for stuff that doesn't work the way it's advertised... which is why my first suggestion when I find something that doesn't work is to toss it and find something that does. Unfortunately I'm no expert on things like chats, it has never come my way before, and I've actually never seen one in operation (aside from Compuserve - and we're talking CIS classic here not the web stuff). If it's a site-based chat, everything you need (EVERYTHING) should be on the site. If you have to dowload something, fine... but I need to KNOW this, not just get a blank white screen in the chat window. I'd really like to do this, I think it's a cool idea, but I just don't have 5 spare hours to spend learning all the kinks. I run Netscape 4.x, Win 95 and 98 (have 3 machines, whichever works best I'll use). My connection is 64K ISDN. They say doctors make the worst patients; well I don't know about all programmers but this one is a LOUSY computer "user". They also say that we techies don't understand the frustration of the end user. Believe me, I do...
