[Woodcarver] New Years Eve chat

[Marcia Berkall]

Happy New Year, everyone!!

If you are going to spending a quiet evening at home, you might like 
to join us for our annual "New Years Eve party".  Stay for a while or 
stop in just to say hello.

To get there:

If you are NOT using an IRC chat program, you can get there through 
the Starlink-irc web site.  Just click on the link below..it will 
take you directly to #Woodcarverchat.

http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_williamslake.html?chan=#Woodcarverchat

This may take a LONG time to load!!!!!!!  Don't give up.  When it 
finally does load, you will be asked to type in a nickname (you do 
NOT have to enter an email address or your real name...just a 
nickname).....then click connect, and wait a little bit longer. The 
chat screen will open..type something in the narrow horizontal space 
below the chat screen and hit your enter key.
*******

If you are using an mIRC chat program:
   1. Log onto your ISP.
   2. Open mIRC. You should see a box "mIRC Options". If you don't 
then click on View then on "Options"  Fill in the information 
there...you do NOT have to put in your real name or email 
address.  For security purposes, make them up.  Do put in the 
nickname you want and an alternative.
   4. Click on the button with the sunburst icon, just to the right 
of the button that says, "Connect to Server".  Where it says "IRC 
Network", scroll down until you see "Starlink-IRC" and highlight that 
so it shows in the window.  There is also a Starlink network, so make 
sure that the one you select has the "IRC" after it. Now click on the 
arrow next to the IRC server window.  That will list a number of 
Starlink-IRC servers....select one of them. The Starlink-IRC random 
server will automatically pick one of the servers for you, so you can 
use that one.  With one of the Starlink-IRC servers in the window, click on
"Connect to Server"

If the Starlink Random Server is not in your mirc program you can add it:
Click the "add" button.
Where it says "Description" type "Starlink Random Server"
Where it says "IRC Server" type IRC.STARLINK-IRC.ORG
Port should be 6664,6665,6666,6667,6668,6669   (all of those with no 
spaces between them)
and "Group" is Starlink-IRC
   5. Once connected, you'll see lots of scrolling text.  When that 
stops, type
        /join #Woodcarverchat in the window at the bottom and hit 
your "enter" key.
     (you need the / and #, and Woodcarverchat must be spelled exactly right)
