	EFnet #smacdg turcnhat room thread Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I have started this because we may well be having a chat on Wednesday at 2000GMT, and it will be in the #smacdg room on EFnet.

DBTS and I have been trying to connect, and have done so only with some problems. DBTS - I am in the room now on the Calgary server (is server the right word?), but I can't see you. What's up with that?

Sure, the only one so far I have had luck with is Calgary. I am trying the EU ones now.

It keeps telling me I am "unauthorised to use this server". And is the room #smacdg?

Maybe an other chatroom maybe? what about MSN chat not messenger but just from the net you can start chatrooms there i think!

It doesn't matter what countries server you're on, as long as the server is on EFNet. DBTS, you using mIRC?

Good. If you have mIRC I can tell you what to do.

Start it up, and select File -> Options. Then there's the field 'Irc network'. Select from the list EFnet. Then fill the information, nick etc. on the forms below, click OK and then File -> Connect. Then, it'll ask for a channel name once you're connected (might take a while). Write #smacdg (also just smacdg is enough) and I should see you here.

DALnet hates me . EFnet seems not to like me that much either. i finally got on to irc.lightning.net after several tries. as for choosing servers, isnt it better to choose on closer to you? undernet has one in toronto AND in montreal *hint hint*

anyways, i'll be TKG or TKG32

I believe (but might be wrong here) that EFnet doesn't allow people with a too aggresive firewall on - they need to check something which certain firewalls (eg, Zonealarm) blocks. If you have a firewall on, you might try switching it off.

Unfortunately, there's no way I'll be able to attend. I tried downloading mIRC at the school yesterday. No luck.

Since I'm stuck there until 8 PM ET, I probably won't be able to make the chat until 8:30 PM (and even then, maybe not for long). I've posted my orders, anyway, so it won't matter unless we suddenly get a lot more energy credits or get Industrial Automation somehow.

Vlad: instead of MiRC, i got ViRC (MIRC was shareware ) from www.tucows.com. it works fine for me (though mirc.com has a good FAQ page) but if you're at school as you say, there may be a firewall.

Well, it's not that it won't download-- it's that there's no way I can get the program (or any downloaded program) to run. (They changed the network setups recently. Under the old system, I wouldn't have had any problems.)

If I get the opportunity to access 'Poly at school today, I'll see if I can download that program...

Um, one problem, MWIA...

the agreed time was not 2000 Wednesday, but 2200-2300 Wednesday.

As of now, I've just got home from opening night of my play, it's midnight, and I'm absolutely stuffed.

I don't mind getting up at 7 (which is why I said 2200 at the earliest)...but 5 is out of the question.

So apologies to anyone who got confused, but you'll have to wait until 10PM GMT for a turnchat.

midnight bedtime...seven am turnchat...somehow I don't think I'll be seeking reelection

Midnight for me. I've been ill and I really can't get asleep so I'll probably be there after all.

Reason for the truncated name: EFnet limits youto 9 characters for nicknames. So MrWhereItsAt becomes MrWhereIt.

If this is going to be a problem, DALnet, for one, allows longer nicks.

Nah, I think we can manage with shorter names. I'll be Kass^DoSE, for instance. AdamTG02 is short enough, MWIA is MWIA, DBTS is DBTS and so on.
Sure, if we can connect better to DALnet, that'll work fine for me too.
