Testing alternative chat room

hi

I have set up a chat room on ICQ #46015364. Just until Max gets the one set up for here. I have no idea how well it will work, if at all, because I have to stop being "me" on ICQ to open it.

Please feel free to try it... again I suggest what we did before go in on the hour and loiter for a while... see if anyone turns up. That's maybe what I'll do... open it around the hour and swap back if no one appears. I don't know if I have to be online for it to work. (Duane did you get into a chat box when I wasn't online?)

I hope I don't have to be online.. seeing as I'm asleep when the US is awake......

Let's try it and see how it goes...... let me know if you get in.

Anyway I'm heading there now for a while....

Or try my other ICQ #16719177

Yes I can confirm that it works. A successful, albeit intermittent, connection was established between Belgium (and if it can be established from here it can be established from anywhere!)and Australia. Unfortunately a great white shark biting on the cable somewhere in the Indian Ocean prevented any coherent conversation other than greetings taking place. Still...until the 'CatChat is back up it could be a useful facility. Well done Alison for setting it up!

For anyone with mIRC... it's there too... just checked.. maybe this is how I can be two places at once.

Type /join #folk_music

Alison, To get to #folk_music do I have to connect to a specific IRC server?
