Glad to see you're lightening up Carol. As we've said many times
before: It's just the F-------- internet

Hi Gar. Now go away and leave me alone.

No can do any longer. I can only acess the chat channel on the laptop
and that is now locked up in an area which does not have a phoneline.
YIPEE! No one has access now to that computer except me so I won't have
extraneous [censored] downloaded on the thing. Iused to come home and find
allsorts of BS had been downloaded by residents/visitors in this house
while I was at work.

Who is Philippe Detournay?
Do you know why they as if I trust Philippe Detournay when I click on the
site?
Thanks,
Dee Dee

I think you were in the wrong "tab"... try again!

That box always comes up. Try clicking on the URL above and you will
get it, too. I just tried again and it came up.

Frankly, I didn't read the "box"... so here's the low down: just say
*yes* and you'll get to rfc chat.

Crash hasn't been there the last few times I signed in.

He's in there now. Having it broadcast that the people there aren't
really there has created this thing where people come into the
channel, say absolutely nothing, then leave. Just happened again. I
think it's rude.

Hopefully my saying so didn't create the rudeness. I was just saying... you
know... I know Crash and I know kal and I know about the GoogleBot, but I
don't really know some of the other folks who occasionally sign in and just
sit there.

There is a problem with the web interface. People can't stay connected.
They come in then they are booted. Maybe they DO need to d/l the java
applet but it's not an application I recognize. Poor Karen tries and tries
again to get in and gets booted a LOT before she can say a word.

From looking at it briefly it's an IRC client running as
a java applet. It doesn't surprise me that it's not as stable
as a standard IRC client. Java applets can vary in performance
depending on the browser. Here's some info on the one you're
using.

http://www.pjirc.com/about.php

I don't know that downloading it and running it locally (i.e.
not in a browser) would be any better. You might try using a
regular desktop IRC client, that might be more reliable.
Here's a popular one, but there are many more.

http://www.mirc.com/

The IRC host you are using is irc1.penguinpowered.ca

I'm surprised that anyone can even get on the site without the java
applet. It's essential, from what I understand.

Lisa-Ann gets booted regularly, as well.

Nope. You can use any IRC client. Use these settings.

Server : irc1.penguinpowered.ca
Port : 6667

I do not want to click "yes", because I do not trust Philippe
Detournay. :o)

Yup, that's how I get into the channel. What Jill was talking about,
though, was the java access through the WWW.

Do you ever visit the channel? I seldom go in there anymore.

I already have a java applet installed, just not that one; I've used the web
interface when I couldn't get in (to a different chat server/channel) using
mIRC and it worked fine.

Sorry Carol, I thought you were saying the java applet is
required(?) No matter.

I don't use IRC much except for work. I would definitely use
a desktop client over an applet though, as anyone who's
ever had to code client side java will tell you. The
other possibility is that the IRC server is a bit flaky.

(Also, you might want to explain to people that the initial
security warning is standard browser behavior when loading
certain java applets. It seems to be scaring some people
away.)

In that case, say NO... you'll get there anyway, but I can't guarentee
you'll be seen. When you enter via the web, you're a java user.

http://java.sun.com/applets/

An applet is a program written in the Java programming language that
can be included in an HTML page, much in the same way an image is
included. When you use a Java technology-enabled browser to view a
page that contains an applet, the applet's code is transferred to your
system and executed by the browser's Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
