[Woodcarver] Sunday Woodcarver Chat

[Joseph Berkall]

Sorry this is so late.  If you've been to the chatroom and nobody was
there,  please try again.

Join in on the fun!!!
For informative and fun REAL TIME conversations with a number of the
carvers on "The List", come to the Woodcarver chats.  We don't always
talk about carving, but if anyone has a question or comment, we can get
serious in a hurry.  Get to know the people behind the names.  And bring
you carving questions with you!!!

We meet on Wednesday nights at 9:30 PM Eastern and on Sundays at 4:30
PM Eastern.

If you are NOT using an IRC chat program, I think you will like these
simplified instructions!!!  Just click on one of the links below...either
will take you directly to #Woodcarverchat

http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_stopover.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.....then click
connect, and wait a little bit longer. The chat screen will open.  Type
something in the narrow horizontal space just below the chat screen and
hit you enter key.  Nothing to it! :)

If you are using WebTV or still have trouble getting there, one of these
links will work...we just save them as a last resort in case all other
links don't work:

http://63.79.14.90/cgi-bin/irc.cgi

http://cobra-ip1.vipershells.com/cgi-bin/irc.cgi

http://stopover.ky.us.starlink-irc.org/cgi-bin/irc.cgi  (This one will
have the fastest connection)

Type in a nickname where it says"nickname"i
Where is says, "channel", type in  #woodcarverchat (don't forget the #).

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)

I have put these instructions on a web page with direct links at
