+ClayJar Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Scrolling text flies by In the window of the chat ClayJar is logging Whether you're a neocacher or old enough to remember when baked beans were in every cache, we'd be delighted if you would join your fellow cachers in the weekly scheduled geochats. We have them every Monday at 8:30pm Central US time. (1:30am UTC, if you want to do the math for your local timezone.) There are several ways of connecting. The easiest is to go to: http://gcchat.clayjar.com/ with a Java-capable web browser. Alternately, you can use any IRC program to connect to irc.openprojects.net and go to #geocache once you're online. (Logs of the weekly scheduled chats are available at http://gcchat.clayjar.com/logs/.) Quote

+ClayJar Posted July 15, 2002 Author Posted July 15, 2002 Since at least a few people seem to need reminding (hehe, you know who you are), here's the weekly reminder bump-up. Quote

+Jamie Z Posted July 15, 2002 Posted July 15, 2002 RSG, If you drop in and see no one there, I think there's something wrong. There are about five people that are pretty much in the chatroom permanently, due to a broadband connection of some sort... Not that those folks ever respond, but you should see some names in the corner at the very least. What url are you using? Jamie Quote
RedShoesGirl Posted July 15, 2002 Posted July 15, 2002 Jamie, I clicked on the link above tonight, which is the same as I have used before. I am on a Mac using I.E. 5. When I go to that URL, after I enter a nickname and connect it is says that Channel: 0 people. I type in a message, hit enter and nothing shows up.

+Jamie Z Posted July 15, 2002 Posted July 15, 2002 Well, with that you've exhausted my resources. I have no idea. One of these other bright folks.. um, well, folks that purchased Macs... should be able to help you. Jamie Quote
Eric O'Connor Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 I heard on CNET radio yesterday that MAC users were smarter and better educated than the national average. That must explain why I've never owned one. (if you listen quietly you'll hear ClayJar softly grumbling about yet another off-topic post in his chat thread) Quote
+Ttepee Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 red shoes.. I don't know if it has do with browsers but I use netscape and lately when I enter the room it takes a long time to actually connect. Have you ever waited awhile and let it sit... mine probably takes a minute or two to log in the occupants and show the chat...then it all scrolls on by and your in. I dunno... just a thought. Quote
+jhwf44 Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Does anyone else think there should be another "official chat time"? Is this possible? I wish chats would happen more often. jhwf4 Quote
MTBguy Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 How about something liek Monday and Friday night, or Monday, Friday, and Wednesday? Or Monday and Thursday? Or something more than what there is now. quote:Originally posted by jhwf4:Does anyone else think there should be another "official chat time"? Is this possible?

NJ_Tonto Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 Is this chat about geocaching like the IRC chats? Does it require some other programs? I would like to join in, if that is OK NJ_Tonto (Yes, Kimosabe...) Quote
+jhwf44 Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Just thought I would post something in this topic to get it back on the first page of the General Forum so more people see it and are reminded that tonight is chat night! See you then! jhwf4 Quote
+parkrrrr Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Ya gots ta do it right, I say: A cacher named Clayjar, 'tis said got a useful idea in his head go to pound-geocache at eight and a half and pretend it's a virtual trailhead Yeah, okay, the last line needs some work. I'm open to suggestions. Quote

RedShoesGirl Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 well darn darn darn. Waiting and it still will not connect. (sigh) Looks like I'll have to buy that IRC software before I can chat. [ ] Quote

+pater47 Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Well, tonite's chat was rather mystery solving, to say the least! Ever notice everybody is willing to give THEIR 2 cents worth but only offer a penny for YOUR thoughts? [This message was edited by pater47 on July 22, 2002 at 09:54 PM.] Quote

+beckerbuns Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 In reply to the person who suggested more frequent chats... There are some of us (ahem) who are in there almost all the time. You are welcome to join us anytime. As a matter of fact, over the last few weeks we've had an incredible number of people, both on Monday chat nights and at other times. So come join us! Becky Quote
RedShoesGirl Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 Well, being persistent I tried again but still unable to connect to the chat. Is there a program one needs for it to work. I am using IE on a Mac. Quote
RedShoesGirl Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 I downloaded IRC for the mac - now just to figure out how to connect to the geocache chat. By the time I figure this all out I will be back at work after a month or so off! Quote
