james: i've been using it for quite awhile now, i really like it
Guy B.: I finally installed it and deleted Firebird whicj never worked with the chat. This is the first time I'm using Firefox with the chat.
Guy B.: Hi Jeff
jfcarbel: good to see some FireFox users out there
james: i've almost never used ie
Rinious Rouge: back
Guy B.: Hi Erin
Rinious Rouge: hi Guy
rich+c: are you using teh full Mozilla 1.0 or only the browser component?
jfcarbel: I though there is just the browser and thats it
james: just the browser component
Guy B.: I took part one of Advanced Excel at work today. Learned about database functions, vlookup and pivot Tables. Tomorrow is part 2.
james: i use thunderbird and another proggy for email and news
moved to room Meeting Place
changed username to Rich
Guy B.: Just thr browser. I'm not using Thunderbird for the e-mail.
Pamela: Greetings, Doc
rich+c: that Dr. D among us?
Harvie: Thunderbird is the e-mail component
Guy B.: Hi Dr. D.
Rich: Hi everyone, sorry I am late.
Rinious Rouge: hi Rich
Rich: Joan and I were out.
Pamela: better late than never
rich+c: we were wondering where you were
Harvie: Hi Doc
jfcarbel: Hi Dr. D
Pamela: brb
Rich: Hi all.
rich+c: can tell you're late, I've been dumped twice already
Rich: Had some meetings to go to, then went by GE Neela Park light plant to see the huge Christmas light displays.
Guy B.: Can anyone tell me how to extract the Jungle.bmp for Windows 98?
BobS: ok got a problem.......Doc...need diagnosis
Rich: uh-oh
Rich: Go on, Bob.
jfcarbel: jungle.bmp?
rich+c: what is jungle.bmp? wallpaper?
Guy B.: Yes, it's part of the Jungle theme
Rich: The startup display is hiddenly named as LOGO.SYS
Guy B.: Wallpaper, RIch
BobS: Doug & Meeka cannot ge tonline to chat from home.......only thing that has happened is that after convention doug paid telephone company to give him 5 permanent static IP addresses
rich+c: don't know if you can separate it from teh theme - what have you in mind?
Rich: I made a replacement one for my Win98 box that is a ColecoVision startup screen.
BobS: now when he tries to get online to chat, the applet never loads
jfcarbel: did you try a search on jungle.*
BobS: ideas???
Rich: Probably a router block on the port used by the chat app.
Rich: Which is 4321 IIRC.
Guy B.: The wallpaper which has a panther on it, doesn't appear on Jeanene's new computer that I'm working on.
Rich: I would have to look at the docs for the chat client.
BobS: and this would be on doug's end or Dale's ??????
Rich: I can look when I get to the robot lab next time to look at the coleco server that has the backup chat on it.
Rich: Doug's end.
jfcarbel: I wonder if theme files are just glorified cab or zip files
Guy B.: I know it's on the Win98 disk, I don't which cab file it is on.
Judy: I am back and they say hi back
jfcarbel: I'm behind a router, but no firewall
rich+c: oh dear, how come not?
rich+c: or is it a hardware firewall in the router?
Pamela: I'm back - went out to say goodbye to Russell - he sends greetings to all
Rich: Hi Russell.
rich+c: on midnights this week?
Pamela: too late, he's gone
Rich: Re: chat client port, my pal in Finland uses his cheap college alumni dialup ISP service.
Pamela: yes, Dad
Rich: It blocks everything except ports 80 and 8080.
Judy: Meeka says hi back, Pam
Rich: So he can't do *ANYTHING* but look at a webpage...unless the server redirects the service to one of those 2 ports.
BobS: BYE RUSSELL !!!!!!
BobS: think he heard that ????
Pamela: maybe, Bob
(Guy B. gives Pamela a can of Diet Coke.)
Pamela: thanks, Judy
jfcarbel: I did nothing special with my router
rich+c: it was kinda loud ;-)
Rich: So I have a version of the chat server for him that runs on a machine with a free port 8080.
Rich: And he can use it.
rich+c: no, but some I gather behave as hardxware firewalls anyway
Rich: I don't have that server running now...but I could put it up for test purposes if someone wanted to try it...
Rich: Or I could change the port that the backup coleco server runs on.
Pamela: if you change it will the rest of us still be able to use it Rich?
Rich: Yes.
jfcarbel: you can always open up a port on a router using port forwarding
rich+c: anyway, jeff, why no firewall, especially when teh best ones are free?
Pamela: Rin, is your mom coming by?
Rich: Like I said, I think the port used by Spaniel Chat is 4321.
Rinious Rouge: no she said she was tired but said to say hi
Pamela: ah, okay
jfcarbel: soon, looking at outpost or that other popular one
rich+c: I have been using Zone Alarm for some time but they seem to be edging away from teh freebie edition
jfcarbel: ZA thats the one
rich+c: I'm hearing good things about Sygate (?) firewall
jfcarbel: outpost looks very user friendly, anyone using it?
Guy B.: That's the firewall I use.
rich+c: jeff, go to www.pricelessware.org
jfcarbel: Dr. D before I forget can you add me to the mailing list
Rich: I just noticed Rinious Rouge, very silly, Rin.
Guy B.: I have outpost on my notebook, but I plan to change to Sygate later on.
rich+c: there you will find teh current top choices of real software mavens for best freeware in many categories
Rinious Rouge: hehe
jfcarbel: guy, you mean outpost or sygate?
Rich: Sure, what E-mail address would you like?
Rich: You can E-mail it to me, rfd@cwru.edu
Rich: So you don't have to have it public here.
BobS: heck guys, if you ues Win3.1 you don't get viruses
Rich: Mine is already way public :-)
Guy B.: Sygate I have on my desktop computers and Outpost on my notebook. I prefer Sygate as I like it much better.
jfcarbel: Dr. D you should have it, I emailed you about getting some N&B editions
Rich: Not sure if you wanted that one or not.
Rich: I have Richard's box of N&Bs, but I won't be able to get to the scanning until the end of exams here.
rich+c: btw Doc, when do I get my Adamcon t-shirt?
Rich: I have to finish writing an exam to give tomorrow night, then a robot contest for a course I teach is this weekend, then 2 anatomy exams and a stack of lab notebooks...all to be graded by next Thursday.
jfcarbel: Rich+C, here is a good site too - www.anova.org/software/index.html
Pamela: wow, they don't believe in sleep at CWRU do they?
Rich: When I mail it Richard, which means when I get to a post office, which means not until I no longer have daytime university stuff to do, there is no post office for packages on campus any more.
rich+c: I have a long list, jeff - because I like lots of options so I'll check that out gladly
james: no fair rich, you get to have all the fun :P
Rich: I have not sold your shirt on E-bay, Richard, nor are the girls using it to cut Barbie clothes out of...
Rich: Fun, ai.

james confirmed ban
Pamela confirmed ban
Harvie confirmed ban
rich+c confirmed ban
Rich confirmed ban
james: uhh.. i wouldn't go so far as to say you don't need a firewall just because you're using linux
james: you're still going to want to make sure you've got unneeded ports closed and some kind of monitoring system running
Guy B. confirmed ban
Harvie: If you use Linux properly a firewall is redundant
BobBACKagain: don't need on 'cause if someone gets you just wack the hd and start over !!!!!!
rich+c: your turn to get bounced tonight, Bob?
Rich: So what is new, Pam?
BobBACKagain: think it is my isp.....about every 15-20 minutes

Pamela: not much Rich
Pamela: no, that's happening this weekend
BobBACKagain: gonna have to call and complain maybe
Rich: The girls insisted on Saturday, so that was when it went up.
james: heh heh
rich+c: found teh net very slow and ineffective this afternoon - lots of 404s

rich+c: well, I've had our lights strung since Nov. 30th - says he with conscious virtue
jfcarbel: anyone have a saved snapshot of his Scott's adamresource website or did it never quite get completed?
Pamela: pppppbbbbbttttt (she says with daughterly love)
rich+c: he said he expected to have it back up soon
Rich: Better than a V-J Day tree, James <runs>
rich+c: depends on which side you're on, Rich
Rich: Don't spit in the chat, Pam!
Pamela: sorry
Rich: With an atom as the star...
jfcarbel: great, I found an archive of Scott's site and it looked like a wealth of information, but all links were dead
rich+c: so jeff, you did get a 1702 and got it running
james: lol. that would go over so well with the older crowd
jfcarbel: yes, just need to figure out what cable I need from RadioShack for the audio hookup
rich+c: I suspect there's little on Scott's site that isn't in Rich's archives
james: though i take the whole hiroshima thing with a big grain of salt
Rich: Put Gojira on the tree.
james: the japanese like to play the victim but have done very little in the way of redress for their own horrific war-time atrocities
rich+c: it's 5-pin DIN on one end sprouting four colour-coded RCA sockets on the other
Rich: Flaming Gojira for the star.
james: lol. mothra candle holders
Guy B.: I know he changed sites recently. I have to check, but it's the same. He hasn't updated it much.
rich+c: I believe teh audio comes oput teh white cable, but just cut and try ;-)
Rich: Gamera glass balls.
jfcarbel: thanks rich I'll give that cable a try
jfcarbel: how do I get to Rich's archives, is this a website
rich+c: used to have teh part # but it's likely hopelessly outdated anyway
Rich: My archives?
jfcarbel: i'll find it
Rich: I have no index.html that accesses everything I have ever put up for people to download.
james: @jeff, i wouldn't bother with a cable from radioshack for the audio hookup
jfcarbel: Rich, do you have an ftp directory
Guy B.: Sometime next month. I'll be making a decision for Adamcon 18.
james: i assume you want to go from the 5-port din thingy to the "audio in" on your 1702, right?
Rich: But you can find some stuff at http://junior.apk.net/~drushel/twwmca/
Pamela: is that the technical term James?
Rich: I think...
james: very much so
james: :P
jfcarbel: james, correct, thought that what RichC suggested
Pamela: just checking
Rich: Thingy...
james: ok, i migh thave missed part of the conversation
Rich: I thought you Canadians used "dealy".
Rinious Rouge: LOL
Pamela: no, that's Erin's deal
james: all i've done here is taken a standard rca cable, lopped off one end and put the signal wire to the audio out port on the din connector
Rinious Rouge: the Rin Right Dictionary
rich+c: comes from associating with too many politicians
Rich: Thingamabob
Rich: Dingus
james: whatchamadoinkle
Rich: She should look up Ambrose Bierce's "Devil's Dictionary" then.
Pamela: btw, Erin, did you see that Great Big Sea is playing Massey Hall on Dec. 20?

Rinious Rouge: unfortunately not Rich but today in the House we got first question....a first for Agriculture (in our time anyway) usually it always goes to the big 4 first

Rinious Rouge: and many are suffering very badly from it still
Pamela: of e.coli infections
Rich: Very helpful for basic and intermediate ADAM users, a great snapshot from early 1990s ADAM community.
rich+c: it's very much outdated, jeff, but some of teh stuff remains highly useful
james: yeah, the lie-berals are doing so much better a job
Rich: E. coli is not a nutrient.
Rich: Meow...
jfcarbel: Is there an online version of ASG?
Rich: "Jane, you ignorant slut..."
Pamela: it's not???? I knew I was doing something wrong
Rich: Alas no.

rich+c: I sent teh masters to Scott but he never got them scanned an put up
Rich: And it would be a hard one to scan, since it was already mostly printed Elite daisywheel pages cut and pasted into newspaper columns and then photocopied.
Harvie: Hi Daniel

jfcarbel: Patriot act
Rinious Rouge: watch out for the chili peppers in the suitcase!
BobS: Jeff, THAT is probably closer to the truth
Guy B.: Could be anything. Even noise in the line could be the culprit.
Pamela: speaking of which, I need to get Mom and Dad's to them - I still have them <blush>
Rich: Must be that article floating around the net now, "Build a SCUD missile guidance computer out of spare ADAM motherboards".

Pamela: sounds like fun, Guy
Daniel Bienvenu: I'm planning to burn a DVD with some cartoons like that to see them with my family during chirstmas
rich+c: well, not fun, but tolerable, one of teh easier duties
Guy B.: I brought a small Christmas tree over to her that I had. Got some lights and ornaments too. Still have to decorate it.
rich+c: ah, you're talking films, Daniel, not static drawings
jfcarbel: I noticed on one of ADAMCon galleries a shot of a Coleco ADAM commercial, who had that?
Daniel Bienvenu: yeah, film
rich+c: was there ever a commercial for Adam? I've never seen or heard of one
Guy B.: Bob was that you who had that?
jfcarbel: It was on a TV screen some took a pic of
BobS: not me but YES there was commercial
Harvie: Alan Alda did a TV commercial for ADAM
BobS: and might have it here, was on Good Mornign America one day I think

rich+c: it won'
rich+c: t fit on a CD?
Rich: Back, 3 cops stopped some car.
Rich: DUnno what he did...
jfcarbel: just bought a new toy from canopus, an ADVC300 that does a great job of restoring old VHS tapes
Rinious Rouge: wow
rich+c: it's mistaken identity, Rich, he's FBI with an acoutic snoop on your hose
rich+c: cops didnt realize who the prowler was
Rich: let 'em come get me... "BUSH IS A FINK!"

Rich: I am trying to add it now, Richard.
rich+c: good show, rich
Guy B.: He's looking for Diablo Hytype I ribbons for the Adam printer.
jfcarbel: BRB
rich+c: I emailed him back, told him no problem, I have lots
rich+c: surprised I haven't had an order from him; he has bought from me before
Pamela: he probably forgot, Dad
rich+c: seems unlikely; Joe just has his own strange ways
Daniel Bienvenu: hahaha! I find a cartoon based on what some guys looks like in front of their computer when bidding on ebay auctions.
Harvie: Didn't he say someone on e-bay had a bargain available?
Rich: Krud, the mail server in EECS is down right now, don't seem to be able to login to my CWRU E-mail, "NFS server reducto not responding still trying"
Daniel Bienvenu: http://www.colossart.com/theauction/themovie.htm
rich+c: yes - on Hytype IIs which are useless for Adam
Daniel Bienvenu: mmm... the last one is in quicktime format. I can't use it.
BobS: unless you could transfer the ribbon itwelf ???????
rich+c: why don't you just download teh quicktime viewer, Daniel? It's free
rich+c: well, you can take out the ribbon and put it in a Hytype I cartridge, yes
rich+c: but any ribbon pancake will do (I have lots) it's teh cartridge that counts\
rich+c: Bob, is Doug still on or is his sign-in a relic?
BobS: I have had trouble with the printer cover using after markets.....on some printers only
Daniel Bienvenu: Well Rich, the problem is transform the movie into mpeg-2 format for DVD.
BobS: think it is a relic
Harvie: I don't think he was looking for a cartridge, just wantef to know if the hytype 11's were worth buying
Daniel Bienvenu: My computer is unstable and the tool to do that crash when trying to create the output file.
Guy B.: Well folks, I brused my arm earlier this week and I want to try putting an icepack on it. So, I'll see you all next week or Saturday if I'm not out shopping.
rich+c: do you have any "universal" viewers like Irfanview or Slowview that can convert formats?

Daniel Bienvenu: commercial tools like videowave crash right now on my PC.
BobS: bye Guy
Harvie: Goodnight Guy
rich+c: oh, Guy, before you go
Rich: Bye Guy.
Daniel Bienvenu: my computer is unstable
rich+c: why don't you send jeff a provate message with your phone number?
Daniel Bienvenu: the only video-capture tool that works for me is VirtualDub... it's the only one.
Harvie: My computers "user" is unstable :)
rich+c: any idea why it's unstable, Guy?
rich+c: sorry, Daniel
DougS: i still here
Guy B.: My computer is not unstable. Daniel's is.
Guy B.: Ok, gang. I'
Daniel Bienvenu: I think it's a video card drivers problem

Pamela: it's Rich we lost this time
rich+c: well Bob threatened to go off in a sulk if he got hit again so now the server is picking on Rich
Dr.D.: Vortex claimed me.
rich+c: that's what he gets for coming on as Rich instead of Dr.D
Pamela: at least now we know threats work
Daniel Bienvenu: Well Rich, I think a friend of mine has a copy of a Win98SE in english... but you know, it's a copy not an original so I think you don't want it
