Birthday Chat

[Hueij]

First of all, maybe a little early, happy birthday Dan&Markos.

I was wondering if the b-day chat could be a few hours earlier. 7pm EDT is midnight GMT and even later in the rest of Europe and since Monday is a normal working day...

[MarkG]

thanks for the (early) wishes

unfortunately our european visitors(and webmasters) usually have to do with these hours for all our chats due to the larger amount of american visitors...

Maybe you can have 2 chats

[Legman]

But then you'd face a difficult choice as to which one to enter, wouldn't you Narck?

On the subject of this chat, does one need to have specific software installed to take part in it?

[MarkG]

you can use mirc if you like, but you can also connect via a web page http://apolyton.net/misc/chat/room.shtml

Thanks MarkG. So all you need is a java enabled browser, I've got that covered. I'd like to join in if I'm free at the time, should be fun.

[Hueij]

I see. It's going to be an all-American party. I thought that it wouldn't be much trouble to do it three hours early since it's a Sunday but I'm obviously wrong...

Well, have fun anyway...

[DanQ]

It is not intended to be an "All American Party" at all, Hueij. That is not the intention.

How does moving it to Saturday sound to everyone?

Why don't you make it a 24H thing? That way all off us could get a taste. There's bound to be people around the chat room all day long if you advertise it properly.

[TCO]

Can't it just change to earlier Sunday? The Americans can stay later. I'm on Zurich time now. So even a important American wants it at the right time.

*GP hangs head*

[Hueij]

So an American in Europe is enough to change the time? Suddenly I feel very superfluous... j/k

Thanks for changing it, I look forward to it.

And GP, how do you like this old continent of ours? Hope you have fun.

[Empress]

yeah, silly me showed up a bit early

[MarkG]
