    GeoChat through Hokesters.co.uk

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    Posted

    Hi there,

     

    Not sure how many people still access GeoChat through www.hokesters.co.uk but there has been some suspicious amounts of traffic on that domain and since we do not use this domain for anything else I have suspended the service for the next few weeks to see what happens.

     

    I understand that Rutson may have a back door into the GeoChat if you do need access through a browser. Post a message here and I am sure someone will let you know how to get in.

     

    If there is any major issue with the Hokesters route being closed, please let me know and I will investigate further.

     

    Thanks

    If you are new to GeoChat follow the instructions below. For seasoned GeoChatters I am bringing back GeoTV webcam hosting - email me for re-establishing access or if you want to sign up for a new web cam.

     

    Enjoy!

    If this link fails, you can also try this one:

     

    http://geochat.co.uk/chat

     

    Enter your caching nickname in the box provided and click "Let's Chat".

     

    Once you are in the room you can bookmark it for later use and you will always be logged in automatically straight from the bookmark.

     

    If you have problems with the applet loading please check the Java notes below.

     

    Of course if you are IRC savvy and have a stand-alone IRC client (such as mIrc or IceChat) you can follow these settings;

     

    IRC Server: irc.uk.nixhelp.org

    Server Port: 6667

    Channel: #geocaching

     

    MAC users are recommended to use Firefox & ChatZilla for free IRC access :D

     

    We look forward to seeing you in there!

     

    Java Notes -

    You must have Java installed to run this webpage. Java is a teeny add-on for Internet Explorer or Firefox which allows your browser to run small programs within the browser window.

     

    If you do not have Java installed you should be prompted to install it when you first run the chatroom link. If not it could be because of your security settings.

     

    Visit Java Home and click the 'Windows XPI - Download'.

     

    Follow the instructions then try to reload the chat room link. If you are still having problems it could be security settings in your browser.

     

    In Firefox - Tools>>Options>>Web Features - ensure both Enable Java and Enable Javascript are ticked.

     

    In IE - Tools>>Options>>Advanced - ensure Java is enabled.

    If you still can't log on it is most likely to be your firewall settings. At this point you need to contact the manufacturer/supplier/administrator of the firewall.

    Just spotted a reference to Geocaching in Episode 16 of the Insomniac Games podcast.

     

    The Design Director talks about a trip Geocaching and how Geocaching influenced one of the features of the new Ratchet & Clank games.

     

    Check it out at - http://www.insomniacgames.com/podcast/podcast.php

     

    Hello to Old Friends by the way - sorry I haven't been around much. Maybe things will change a bit soon ;-)
