Hi all!

I almost forgot about this. Tommorow I am hosting a chat on my website Skyline-Group. You can get to my website on the link in my signature. Then just click on the 'Chat' button on the far right, when the navigation bar loads.

It will be hosted tommorow (Wednesday) at 9:00pm. I hope many of you will be able to make it! Please make a note in your diaries

Thank you,
Regards,
-Elliot

Hi Dan!

That's great. I hope to see you on there then. You can tell everyone about your R32 in detail.

Regards,

Elliot,

Not too sure I'm gonna be there ... I'm using WinXP home which for some bizarre reason has no default support for Java!!! wtf is it with Microsoft. The download from Sun to give Java is about 10Mb I believe so I'll have to download it at work and install it tomorrow ... Why remove Java?

Sorry dude

 

[R34_GT-t]

Hi Dan,

No Problem.

Currently 2 on now.

I see the front page but no links to the chat room

 

[davewilkins]

Just left Jason. Spent 45 mins on there! Excellent chatroom elliott. Bit like the ones I go on where we talk dirty to each other but we talked cars......and about janspeds

Refresh the page jason... just got that it looks like the java applet does not always initialise...

 

[R34_GT-t]

Hi,

Thank you for the complement, Dave. It was great fun!

Sorry to hear it wouldn't work for you Jason. My Navigation Bar which loads up, is made using Javascript. The problem would be due to the reason which ZX suggested.

I'm gonna download the latest Java Runtime environment from sun.com tomorrow, I cannot believe MS omitted it from XP Home, I believe it was due to a legal kafuffle with Sun Microsystems... Anyways, I'll be set for the next one ... so make it soon

Cheers,

Dan

Dan,
Do you know if that download works ?

They even omitted it from Professional

 

[R34_GT-t]

Sure Dan, I will organise another chat sometime soon.

Jason,

Microsofts own update is a massive mix of security fixes and lots of other patches to finish the product they failed to do in the first place... To obtain just the Java VM (the bit that does the work), the best place is the link below...

http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html

Sun Microsystems invented it, and their downloadable update has always worked best for me

Try it bud .. always been reliable before

If you get any grief with it, drop me a PM.

Cheers,

Dan

 

[polarbearit]

hmm - it just crash out on me

 

[JasonO]

Thanks Dan,

Being a bit dumb I never thought to get the Java VM form Sun

To obvious for me I suppose

 

[dan0h]

Sun is always my first choice ... infact its my choice of desktop machine .. just gotta get my OS sorted so I can leave this Windoze box just for playin'

Hi,

I'm sorry if the chatroom is a bit bland. I will look for alternative chat services for the next chat session.

Regards,
-Elliot

 

[JasonO]

Elliot,
Who said or implied that it was bland ?

Last time I used it it was fine

 

[R34_GT-t]

Nobody I'm just meant to say that it is quite difficult to read text on the screen, because everyone's post colour is the same.

-Elliot

 

[JasonO]

Oh Sorry, just my current frame of mind, busy working on stuff.

Yep, it can be difficult in chat sessions to keep up if every users text is the same colour.

Have you seen Scoobynets chat forum, it is really user friendly , but I think the software they use is really expensive.
Have you considered setting something up on IRC ?
