Subject: Mudcat chat room reminder From: alison Date: 08 Apr 99 - 02:30 AM Hi, Just to remind people that it is still there Check in on the hour and see wait for a few minutes.. someone else might appear......... I know things are a bit odd at the moment seeing as everyone's clocks have gone backwards or forwards so it may take a while to get back in sync with each other......... but let's keep trying...... The link above will take you to a page with your details on it... it can take a while to load... be patient... then click on the small "enter" button .. and it will take you to the actual chat...... Slainte alison PS I'll keep refreshing this every so often just to remind us........... |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Sam Pirt Date: 08 Apr 99 - 01:23 PM Cheers Alison The only trouble is it comes up with an error and mentions a cookie or something? Whats it doing? I'll work it out eventually! Cheers, Bye, Sam |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: alison Date: 08 Apr 99 - 09:46 PM sorry Sam, I'm no expert on computers.... any technical questions should go to the Mudcat Help Forum (there's a link at the top of the page.)... someone more knowledgable will be able to sort you out. Slainte alison |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: SeanM Date: 08 Apr 99 - 11:26 PM Used to be able to go in, but keep getting 'Connection Closed'... M |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Harald Date: 10 Apr 99 - 10:17 AM I never was able to use it, only got error messages. This one now is the best I ever got: IRC got a security violation: method verification error. Should I through away my stamp collection and start collecting chat room error messages ? ;-) [ or rather :-( ] |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: harpgirl Date: 10 Apr 99 - 10:19 AM I also got that cookie error message...alison...I'll try the pridgy.net connection I have...harpgirl |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: katlaughing Date: 10 Apr 99 - 10:44 AM I don't know why, but I haven't had any trouble, except it seems to take awhile to get in there. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Night Owl Date: 10 Apr 99 - 01:26 PM It's because you wear purple, kat...(sorry, couldn't resist!) |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: harpgirl Date: 10 Apr 99 - 02:43 PM Hey Alison!!!!Wake up!!!!ahh she is probably asleep on the other side of the world...I wonder how Saturday turns out??? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: alison Date: 11 Apr 99 - 12:43 AM Hi, I'm up... and chatting to Don Meixner if any of the rest of you are around... Slainte alison |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: harpgirl Date: 11 Apr 99 - 02:14 PM found the chatroom since it is too hot to go outside today (95)...anybody here? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Mick Lowe Date: 11 Apr 99 - 08:19 PM mmm good way to spend an eternity waiting for it to load only to be able to send messages to yourself... Are you supposed to have 2 people listed in the "audience" when you log on Alison? i.e. your name appears twice, once as the host and a normal entry? All this time I've been knocking AOL's Instant Messenger and it's still the easiest to use.. oh well.. as they say, Rome wasn't built to an architect's plan... Mick |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: jets Date: 11 Apr 99 - 10:21 PM I can enter the chat room .I can read the messages .There is the list of those in the room .I can type in a message ,but I see no send button .?????? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Banjer Date: 11 Apr 99 - 10:32 PM Ah jets, I tried to converse with ya as did Catspaw but got no response. Your ENTER key is your send button. Type the message on the bottom line and hit enter.. Sorry you missed us. Try again though, don't let it discourage you. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: alison Date: 12 Apr 99 - 04:05 AM Yes, you probably appear twice once as the host (usually if you're the first one in) and then as a participant.... I'll check next time I'm in. I still prefer ICQ. Slainte alison |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Tucker Date: 12 Apr 99 - 04:39 AM your'e up early Alison. The only problem I have with ICQ is getting locked up all the time and their technogeek language trying to explain their system. I am sure it's good (their chat method is the best to me) but they make it so hard to comprehend. thank God for point and click, I would have never survived the DOS era (nor my computer). |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: alison Date: 12 Apr 99 - 05:16 AM Hi tucker, It's early evening in Oz..... I know ICQ seems hard... but I have given quite a few Mudcatters the "guided tour" .. and it really is very easy.. if a computer dummy like me can do it.. anyone can. Slainte alison |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Tucker Date: 12 Apr 99 - 06:06 AM You are probably right Alison. maybe someone at ICQ will see this and take a creative writing course. I know their system is good but I know many who won't use it simply because it intimadates them. They are getting better but their home page still looks cluttered and too "busy". Simplify, Simplify, Simplify. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Colin The Whistler (inactive) Date: 12 Apr 99 - 03:38 PM Hello Alison, Its Colin from Ballygalley (alais the Whistle Blower) sorry about the Hands Off thread on the pipes, it was'nt me. It was Big Pete from Larne (NI) who plays music with me. I think he fancied the pipes himself. I've tried the Chat Room and had better success chatting to Gold Fish with Fifteen pints of Guinnes dowm my throat on Friday nights. Nothing technical but could you maybe give a few more pointers on how to get started. PS..I here a rumour it was you who started Don Meixner on the Corries...Now listen..have a titter of wit..I've better things to do than start re-educating people on the in's and outs of good Folk/Traditional Music.The Corries makes our group 'SNOG THE ROCK' sound like the bloody Boyzone!!!! UP THE FOLKIES !!!! Slainte Colin The Mad Ballygally Whistle Blower |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Tony Burns Date: 12 Apr 99 - 05:21 PM I made it!!!! Finally got on the chat. I clicked on the link in one of the early messages and didn't get an error message. What a surprise. I didn't use that client though. I took the information that www.mudcat.org is the host and 6667 is the port to use and then connected and joined the channel using mIRC. So, it looks like you can connect both ways. jets was already online and showed as the operator of the channel (name showed as @jets). We chatted a bit then I had to leave to put the dinner on. Just came back and I'm there alone but at least I know I'm in the right place. Hope this information is useful/encouraging to others who want to try this technology. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: AlistairUK Date: 12 Apr 99 - 05:56 PM Why in Sam Hill does the chat room say connection closed every time I try to get into at night? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Tony Burns Date: 12 Apr 99 - 07:07 PM Chat seemed to go down and is back up now. I connected via the java client and mIRC. Then I talked to myself for a while. I'll stich around a few minutes and see if anyone else joins at the top of the hour. (That was the agreement wasn't it?) |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: alison Date: 12 Apr 99 - 11:56 PM Hi everyone, I'm in the chat room now talking to myself......... Here's a link to one of the ICQ threads with all the info... my advice is...... ignore the opening page... jsut find where it says to download ICQ. I never bother with the opening page ... as someone else said.. there's too much on it. It is easier to work out if someone shows you the ropes, so..... if you want me to help let me know you'll find my (and other Mudcatter numbers) on the other links. Meanwhile keep trying the Mudcat one.. it is good when it works..... and when someone else is there. now, before you get confused.. the official mudcat chat room on ICQ (called @mudcat) referred to in the other threads, doesn't exist anymore.. due to a teensy weensy problem we had with a sex chat room **grin**.. so don't try that number. Colin & Big Pete...... lovely to see some new people from home (I'm originally from Belfast if you haven't already picked that up)...... I was just thinking about your part of the world the other day.. and how much I'd love to jump in my car and go for a scoot up the coast road..... slainte alison |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Jaxon Date: 14 Apr 99 - 08:42 AM Every time I click on the link from this thread I get the mesaage - AppletRoom.IRC can't start:error:java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:room/IRC. Any help will be gratefully accepted. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: alison Date: 14 Apr 99 - 09:13 AM Jaxon...... I can't answer technical stuff.. maybe someone else can help... but probably the best thing to do is click on Mudcat help... and ask Max...... he's the expert..... Slainte alison |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: AlistairUK Date: 14 Apr 99 - 02:25 PM I am in the room at the moment. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Harald Date: 15 Apr 99 - 12:25 PM How frustrating. I´m really not able to get into the chat. Are there problems with a firewall? Java is turned on on my machine but the applet refuses to get loaded. Anyway, www.folkclub.com works. I´ll be there at the next full hour. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Tony Burns Date: 15 Apr 99 - 04:38 PM Harald, I've only tried to access the Mudcat chat from behind a firewall a couple of times but it always failed. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Harald Date: 15 Apr 99 - 04:52 PM Well, that´s it. I´ve tried it. I showed myself willingly a couple of times. Have you heard it, all you people patiently waiting in the chat? I tried, I rattled the chat´s doors, I shouted, but my yells were absorbed by my firewall. So, goodbye to the chat, goodbye to the last chance to have a little talk with all you folks out there. All my hopes are down the proxy´s drain. Harald, distressed, in desperation and with tears in his eyes walking into the sunset to a land where no computers grow, where birds whistle jigs and little mudcats play the banjo. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: reggie miles Date: 16 Apr 99 - 09:38 AM Hey Alison, I finally got through with the help of that link of yours. But I've got to run and have no time to chat this morning. Thanks for the link. Will stop and check it more often now that I know where to click. Happy to chat, Reggie Miles |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Vixen Date: 16 Apr 99 - 10:36 AM D'Cats-- I've been trying to get into the chat room for 30 minutes...I tried first clicking on Alison's initial link, and got the cookie message. So I reset my cookie. I then got a java security violation, so I quit, and tried again using netscape instead of internet explorer. I got a different java error message that led me to believe the address was a problem. I went back to the mudcat homepage, and explicitly typed the address. I got yet another java error message... What AM I doing wrong??? V |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: alison Date: 28 Apr 99 - 07:09 AM Refresh..... I'm here now talking to myself slainte alison |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Max Date: 28 Apr 99 - 04:23 PM Hi all, working on some things. If you wanna check out a more live experience with the chat and cat try out http://www.mudcat.org/livecat.cfm. It's just the chat embedded in the page with a frameset. The bottom frame shows you almost realtime messages being posted and lets you browse. Just fidlin, no real progress other than that. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Jo Taylor Date: 28 Apr 99 - 07:53 PM Just tired that, got the two windows but only rror messages. Then tried the original link but couldn't miminise it like one usually can... unless that's what the new 'float' thing is... just going back to try. Jo |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Jo Taylor Date: 28 Apr 99 - 07:57 PM I meant 'tried' of course, though I am tired! The 'float' button allowed me to minimise - anyone there? If not I'm going to bed! Jo |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Max Date: 28 Apr 99 - 09:27 PM Chat like hell going on right now. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: Curtis & Loretta Date: 28 Apr 99 - 09:32 PM Got the cookie message...have no idea how to reset a cookie. Loretta |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: SeanM Date: 29 Apr 99 - 02:02 AM Oooohhhh.... Nice upgrade, Max! Now if only there was someone else in there with me... I'm used to having to do solos, but this is ridiculous... M |

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: alison Date: 29 Apr 99 - 02:38 AM Hi Max, What is supposed to happen in the lower part of the screen... the chat box at the top seems to be OK (I'm there on my own again)....... but the bottom half of the screen has a timeout error. With the earlier version we were able to minimise it and keep it active while we surfed and it alerted us with the door bell when someone else came in.... this one doesn't allow me to do that, (unless I open a new IE window and leave it in there)........ also it tends to get sick of waiting for someone else to join and automatically disconnects itself....... is it just me? If the float button allows us to minimise... how do we get back to the float button once we are in the chat window? Or do we have to go right out again? Slainte alison

Subject: RE: Mudcat chat room reminder From: alison Date: 29 Apr 99 - 02:47 AM hi again, OK, just been playing with the float button, and it does minimise, but then when I go back to the threads and maximise it again........ I have been disconnected from the chat... if you "enter" again it seems to work and stay connected..... just a glitch? slainte alison |
