Daniel B: bonsoir BobS: have ya got a wee bit of the irish in ya???????? Daniel B: nobody can predict the weather after 10 days with precision... or be very lucky. rich-c: OK, you want www.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/ and go from there to the individual cities rich-c: Environment Canada only forecasts five days in advance, feels anything more is not worth it Daniel B: It's a math puzzle BobS: IF they are as accurate as the US weather service................FORGET IT Meeka: we know that, but we need to know what kinda clothes to pack rich-c: well, in Toronto they are better than Accuweatehr and Weather channel by a huge lot rich-c: and you can get local weather radar, provincial weatehr, satellite photos BobS: at this timeof year, what is the normal weather heatwise?????????????????? rich-c: they are more likely to be a bit off in their temperature estimates if anything rich-c: pack your parka and shorts - anything can happen and likely will Chief Blackhawk: Hawks goal.

Meeka: thanks BobS: just remember 24 to 30 is summer to us Judy: that sounds like a nice number BobS: or 28 Daniel B: Well, it's easy if you think about it.

Judy: don't wish that on us, Daniel rich-c: oh, we'll just throw a match in it and let teh burning oil heat us Judy: that would change our temp zone Daniel B: and who is undefined? Daniel B: someone watching only? rich-c: whoever it is hasn't signed in, likely went away some time ago Judy: we have new pond plants that would not make it thru that cold

LucMiron: Oui Kich Pamela: LOL Daniel B: bonsoir LucMiron: So how is everyone? BobS: driving to Sarnia and EAST straight thru the mess Judy: hi, Luc Meeka: good...you? LucMiron: Pretty good. Judy: good rich-c: I'm planning to leave Monday, overnight in Kingston, arrive Tuesday Pamela: FYI Bob all the rest stops between Toronto and Kingston are closed LucMiron: You'll be in Montreal/Laval on Tuesday? Pamela: so you'll have to leave the highway for potty breaks and coffee BobS: OUCH Pamela: ya, that's what I said rich-c: yes, bring a plastic bottle and hold off on teh diruetics till you arrive Daniel B: ... cold... almost everyone here has a cold... well, mine is tolerable... I was thinking first it was a flu, but no. Pamela: my sister-in-law was down that way a couple of weeks ago and warned me LucMiron: @Daniel: Well, better have a cold now than 10 days from now. :) rich-c: we cannot figure out what idiocy in our government let that slip through Meeka: better now than next week daniel BobS: just have to find a Tim Hortons along the way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 Judy: why close them all? rich-c: yes, Luc, we hope to be in the hotel early Tuesday afternoon Meeka: several of them lol LucMiron: So guys and gals, I have a few ADAMCon-related questions here... Meeka: shoot LucMiron: POW! Chief Blackhawk: End of second period. 3-2 Hawks Meeka: hahhhha Daniel B: I'm hit LucMiron: It's a magic bullet... :P BobS: I am DEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 rich-c: it's teh end of teh third that counts - everything crossed, kiddiees! LucMiron: Anyhow, first question... Judy: we will try to answer BobS: ok, enough fun...shoot LucMiron: It's question for rich, mostly... Daniel B: be right back rich-c: just dont spoil the fun too much, Luc - there will be an Adam trivia quiz with a nice prize at teh 'con LucMiron: Can you contact everyone who registered for the convention and ask them if they could possibly be interested in purchasing an ADAM computer from me? LucMiron: I figure it would be good to avoid shipping issues. They could just take it with them, in their car, after the convention. rich-c: an announcement could be put on the Adam mailing list, but it isn't limited to onvention members LucMiron: That would be alright, I guess. rich-c: anyway, pretty well all Adamcon folks have all the Adams they need LucMiron: That's what I was thinking... rich-c: my surplus Adams are being offered on eBay LucMiron: It doesn't make much sense to bring the ADAM to the 'con if I won't be able to sell it. rich-c: unless you want to have it in hand while we discuss it LucMiron: I'll be bringing a ColecoVision and a TV set, with my USB cart. BobS: except that you are fairly close anyway LucMiron: @Bob: Yeah, but I don't have a car, and I'll need to take a taxi to bring it. rich-c: don't know if Yann, Stephane and all will be in the market rich-c: Daniel, who is teh third one in that group? LucMiron: Well, I just need a single buyer, really. I won't even asking much for it. LucMiron: even be asking rich-c: if they're at the 'con they can likely go to your place to pick it up anyway LucMiron: That's true. One thing I can do is bring it up during my presentation. LucMiron: That leads me to my second question... rich-c: you can always ask Bob or Dave Hill for advice, both sell Adams quite regularly Chief Blackhawk: Ok Back. LucMiron: When will I know the date and time at which I will be called upon to do my presentation? rich-c: Daniel has to answer that one, just remember our times are sort of soft LucMiron: Yeah, but I also know that there are several presentations, and a banquet on Sunday evening too... rich-c: by the way, Daniel, when can we have our Mighty Mitchell Prize tribvia contest? LucMiron: Mighty Mitchell? rich-c: named for Ron Mitchell - previous year's winner has to do the following year's LucMiron: Ah. LucMiron: Anyhow, my next questions are for Daniel and Dale. I hope Dale will drop by tonight... rich-c: so we figure there will be at least seven people trying desperately NOT to win ; - ) Pamela: the full name being (I believe) the Much Maligned but Highly Coveted Mighty Mitchell Award Daniel B: I'm back Meeka: wb BobS: DALE IS <AKING THE SCHEDULE BobS: MAKING BobS: so.............only he knows for sure rich-c: you're shouting BobS: I know BobS: then luc won't miss it BobS: HA Daniel B: Dale is in charge of the scheduling, all I know is that I'm starting. Meeka: dale tends to be rather last minute rich-c: OK, I'll speak to him then LucMiron: So Daniel, do you have a list of all the people who purchased Jeepers Creepers carts from you? Daniel B: Checking if he's online somewhere rich-c: yes, Luc will find out he's next about two minutes before he's on Daniel B: Dale is not online at the moment. LucMiron: If Dale does the told-at-the-last-minute prank on me, he's going to get it... rich-c: likely putting Jeffy to bed Daniel B: List of Jeepers Creepers carts owners? rich-c: after you've known Dale for a while, you get hardened to it LucMiron: Yep, because I will have about 55 JC boxes to dsitribute. Daniel B: err... I guess I can find back some messages, but I don't have a list LucMiron: Well, do you know some in Quebec, aside from you and me? From memory, I mean. LucMiron: I'm sure there are several that frequent the AtariAge forums, so I can reach them from there. rich-c: Daniel, how are you coming down to Montreal? Meeka: ya, i we were thinking so too Daniel B: Well, I've find a way to be at the hotel in time for the checkin thuesday night.... but can't be there early. rich-c: well you can't check in before 3 p.m. anyway - so how are you coming? Daniel B: I can't find messages regarding those who did bought JC in Quebec, because I did probably sell them during a CCJVQ meeting... so it's more anonymously LucMiron: In any case, I'll have a few JC boxes glued up in time for my visit at ADAMcon. I assume you have at least one copy of the cart, Daniel, so you'll be getting one. Daniel B: I did sell my cartridge... someone wanted the game and AtariAge still didn't prepare any so I had to make a choice between getting some money or not. LucMiron: Oops... :) LucMiron: Well, I could give you a box anyway. BobS: tha is what I was thinking.......hotel pics show no refrig in room.........so anything would need ice or just drink it Daniel B: reminds me, I didn't send you yet a list of games. rich-c: I will be bringing a powered cooler and Pamela was out shipping for one today Pamela: correction, bought one today LucMiron: @Daniel: Oh, that's right. With everything that's been happening lately, I kinda forgot about it. rich-c: I am not sure if you can order a room frig or not as an extra Pamela: I didn't see that as an option Daniel B: Well, I've found one email here... not someone from Quebec... it's a cartoonist-scripter. Rob Schrab, maybe you.ve heard this name before. BobS: I thought that it was listed beforre rich-c: you did buy it, then - OK - won't have to share my beer space ; - ) LucMiron: I came very close to getting a boxed Game Pack #1 on eBay a few weeks ago, but I got outbid... :( Pamela: nope : ) BobS: drink warm beer???????????????????/I think NOT LucMiron: Rob Scrab... Doesn't ring a bell... LucMiron: It was Nathan Koslowski's copy (ColecoNation) rich-c: good beer actually tastes better warm - but Americans never discover that Daniel B: well, if you type his name on Google, you'll find a lot about him Judy: Meeka do you have one of those coolers? BobS: RICAHRD....shame Meeka: which coolers mom Judy: the plug in ones rich-c: sorry, Bob, I keep forgetting you have boutique producers turning out the real stuff now - good ones, too Meeka: we have a very small one that runs on electric and holds like 6 cans Judy: that is what we need to take along Daniel B: I've found another name here... someone did asked me for a Jeepers Creepers by email... I don't have much information except his name and his email. Daniel B: I can't remember if he did get a cartridge or not LucMiron: Okay... Pamela: I suspect we'll get a lot more use out of it than just long trips Daniel B: www.robschrab.com Daniel B: Rob Schrab web site Daniel B: he got a Jeepers Creeprs cartridge Daniel B: directly from me rich-c: well, we have only used ours for travel so far, but I won't be surprised if that changes Pamela: I must say I found it useful on that trip to Windsor last year Dad Daniel B: I know for sure that Steve Begin doesn't have a Jeepers Creepers. I did offer him one but he returned it to me. Pamela: or whenever that was rich-c: right - btw do nudge Grame's elbow on Behemoth when you chat, perhaps? LucMiron: Alright. I suppose Steve won't be at AdamCon. Pitty... Pamela: I have a couple of times Dad but if I talk to him soon I'll pester him LucMiron: What about Mathieu Proulx? rich-c: good, your mother is being impatitent Daniel B: he's not interrest into Coleco, he just wanted to make a game with my help. LucMiron: Really? So Maze Maniac was a one-time thing? Daniel B: Maze Maniac was made by Mathieu Boyer. LucMiron: Oh, I got'em mixed up. Mathieu Proulx helped you with Bejeweled, right? Daniel B: Yes, he insisted so hard to do a game project with me, so I decided to let him continue the project Bejeweled that I've started earlier. Daniel B: he did a great job actually LucMiron: You know, if I had the time, I would encode and prepare the source code for that Jewel Panic title screen I created for you...
moved to room Meeting Place LucMiron: Then you'd only need to fix those controller issues...
changed username to Coastal Ron Chief Blackhawk: HI Ron Coastal Ron: hey all rich-c: hi Ron, how's the wet coast? Judy: hi, Ron BobS: The WET coasters are here????????????????????????? Coastal Ron: showers sun showers Daniel B: well, with todays devkit, I'll need more than just fixing an issue. I need to rewrite parts of teh code to fit SDCC instead of hi-tech c compiler systax and libraries. Pamela: Hi Ron Coastal Ron: mailed the stuff express post today Bob Coastal Ron: hi Pam LucMiron: Yeah, that sounds like more work indeed. Unless you just used Hi-Tech one last time... Judy: we have been having the same kind of weather BobS: OK Ronald !!!!! Coastal Ron: supposed to take 4-6 days rich-c: surely Expresspost isn't THAT long? Coastal Ron: the Mighty Mitch prize can be something of your choice Daniel B: Last time I've used hitech-c, it was to make the final version of Jeepers Creepers. Coastal Ron: well Rich, they said it might possible arrive sooner rich-c: heck, we got our renewed passports bhack in under a week, and they came Expresspost LucMiron: I still have Hi-Tech installed here, some place on my hard disk. I could still use it. rich-c: well, I have found a verry appropriate prize for the Mighty Mitchell Award Daniel B: dosbox works with 22nice and the compiler, but that means I can't run it fast and I can't use the interface program called CCI to help me. Coastal Ron: Daniel - in addition to mailing my DVD presentations to Rich and Bob, I was talking to Dr. D this afternoon and he suggested uploading the whole thing to his site. Doing that now rich-c: well, as long as teh one for me gets here by Monday, everything's fine Coastal Ron: as we speak LucMiron: I can still use CCI on my end. In fact, I used it while programming my Sudoku game. Coastal Ron: so one way or another you should have it available Daniel B: Running XP I guess LucMiron: Yep, I have XP. Daniel B: it's the last version my CCI and hi-tech compiler than works with Pamela: be right back folks, gotta run down to the garage Daniel B: *the last verison of windows... that can works with Daniel B: anyway, mistyping is fun rich-c: oh I know, I do it all the time! Daniel B: yes, Kuc and Kich Judy: it is a way to type, mistakes are a must Chief Blackhawk: Less than 5 minutes. Blackhawks still lead rich-c: well last week I had help - my 6 key wouldn't work Coastal Ron: teh = the rich-c: time for them to get another before all the fans have heart attacks, Guy Coastal Ron: first time since what, 1961??? Daniel B: Yahoo! Mail refuses to work properly tonight Chief Blackhawk: By the way. I've now lost 18 pounds, hoping to loose 2 more before the con Daniel B: I can't check or serach emails Judy: good for you, Guy rich-c: sounds good, Guy - I'mj down about twn of late without even trying Meeka: good fopr you guy Daniel B: My presentation kis ready, btw Judy: how come, Daniel? Chief Blackhawk: Annie's been a big help Daniel B: again... another K Coastal Ron: Daniel, there was one to the ADAM mail list this afternoon from Dr. D. wondering if you wanted him to do a presentation and if so, on what subject LucMiron: Dr D. = Dale Wick? rich-c: seems Dale is handling the scheduling, Ron Coastal Ron: no Rich Drushel Daniel B: Well, I've tried to reply to him directly, but I've got an error message, so I've no idea if he got my message. but in it, I didn't suggested any subject. Meeka: no, dr. d is rich drushell LucMiron: Ah, ok. Chief Blackhawk: Flyers tied it up 3-3 Coastal Ron: awww Daniel B: try typing drushell and coleco as keywords in google rich-c: also Prof. D. if you want to be formal, but mostly "hey rich" rich-c: time for teh Hawks to get it back NOW - we do NOT need o/t Chief Blackhawk: I know. About three minutes remaining Daniel B: well, maybe try another keyword then rich-c: climb through teh TV screen and tell them to go for it! Daniel B: My presentation may be about 1 hoyur instead of 45 minutes. LucMiron: It's a shame Dale is not here tonight. I wanted to ask him if he could install OpenOffice 3.2 on the laptop he plans to use with his projector. rich-c: doesn't matter, Daniel, at an Adamcon we always end up taking whatever we need, anyway Coastal Ron: Is there going to be internet at the 'con? Daniel B: I can ask Dale to install OpenOffice on his laptop, or you can use my laptop if you want BobS: yes sir rich-c: yes, the whole hotel has wireless, Ron LucMiron: Whatever PC is used, I would only need OpenOffice Impress to be installed. rich-c: don't know if it's secure or not, but suspect no Coastal Ron: good. Shall be with you in spirit BobS: I have Open Office 2.1 Luc Judy: that is the next best then, Ron Chief Blackhawk: I have OpenOffice 3.2 Daniel B: Well, I'm using OpenOffice Impress for my presentation.... not the best actually to add multimedia in the slides but it works. LucMiron: BobS: I wouldn't chance it. I'd prefer to have 3.2 because that's what I'm using to prepare the presentation slides.\ BobS: ANd the annual ADAM chat will be Saturday evening i assuem......................DANIEL?????? BobS: can alwasy BE isntalled Luc rich-c: ye4s, can anyone bring the CD? Coastal Ron: hope so Daniel B: the problem I did find with openoffice files is still using file references instead of adding files in the presentation. In other words, if I change my presentation from one folder to another, the slides lose their images and sounds. LucMiron: Yeah, with wireless at the hotel, I supposed installing OpenOffice 3.2 on any laptop is no big deal. It's just a matter of having enough free disk space. rich-c: I have a copy somewhere, I think, but no idea if it is 3.2 Daniel B: I need ot move the presentation file and the associated files in the same folder, all the time Coastal Ron: Expect you guys might have problems with my DVD. It'll probably play the slides ok, but some of the sound files might not be properly linked Coastal Ron: same problem Daniel Daniel B: when I did the nice presentation about minigames 2 or 3 years ago, by trying to copy the presentatin file to Dale, we did notice that the presentation didn't bring the images with it. Coastal Ron: if my upload to Dr. D is ok, h Coastal Ron: he Coastal Ron: 'he's going to see if he can put the thing back together on his Mac Daniel B: Well, for my presentation I'll simply use my file where it is, and if someone want a copy, I'll try to convert it into a portable slideshow.
