[grendelttroll]

I'm on!! I'm on!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!!!!

 

[grendelttroll]

Well, I'm still on, but nobody's coming in.....

Then again, I am noticing that the room isn't coming up on the channel list. There definately needs to be a bot monitoring the room with host priveliges......

Okay, so now I (theoretically) have a DotNet Passport. What do I do?

You don't need one for IRC.

 

[Jame]

I don't know how to IRC.

Great. Just when I can start chatting they change it on me. It's like they don't want me around!

 

[Despasian]

I feel your pain Jame.

I'm on limited equipment, with an even more limited understanding of IT/Java/IRC/Web internet stuff.

Can surf just fine, but relatively clueless on most of the other stuff.

Now if someone would explain it...

Before I forget, welcome to the boards, Despasian!

 

[Granpafishy]

Just go to this link

http://www.psionics.net/chat/java/traveller.html

It will ask for you to approve a program (it is not stored on your computer, every time you go there it will ask to run)

Change the Nick Name to what you want, then click "Connect Now"

 

[clementk]

well it's one to two hours past the normal "opening" hours for LoneStar on Sunday...

Looking for all the people who were wanting LoneStar on IRC but who haven't shown up on Sundays. (or at least not yet this Sunday)

Casey

 

[grendelttroll]

Psionics.net is refusing my connection. Hmmm.... Maybe there is a power outage on their end??

 

[siefertma2]

It's 12:15 Central Time and I've got the door open. Cpt.Blacklight came in for a second, but I was writing a CotI post while he was on (sorry dude). Anyway, I'm ready, willing, and able to chat; so come on in!

 

[clementk]

Well whoever wanted to talk about Traveller software is more than welcome to work it out on the LoneStar.


Just remember to bring RAM chips for Palamedes the dice bot!

Did you try to get on the new LoneStar on IRC or the old LoneStar on MSN Chat? LoneStar's moved to IRC * and can be accessed by any IRC client program or via your webbrowser using a java applet (you need to have java installed on your system for that).

Should be up 24-7 unless they're down for maintenance.

Annoucement and link to the java applet here

CotI thread on LoneStar on IRC here

Hope this helps. We still normally meet Sunday afternoon on but you can chat anytime.

Casey

* I think general MSN Chat rooms are closed now when the service went to subscription only anyway

 

[clementk]

Well we're also chatting with the folks on #traveller (on Undernet) at the mo. And Eak returns!

and #traveller has a bartender bot, Brubeck. Though he only responds if you're on #traveller currently. http://www.freelancetraveller.com/infocenter/travchat/brubek.html

[EDIT] Brubek's now working in LoneStar as well. Though there are some bugs being ironed out.

It looks like I've got the Brubek bugs worked out; as far as Casey's comment about "We're chatting with the folks on #traveller (on Undernet)", that's done via the implementation of a bridgebot (in channel with the nick of "]-"), so that folks in either channel will be able to "hear" what's going on in the other - and can respond to it. A way of bringing together two Traveller communities that heretofore had very little overlap.
