Would like to do a chat meet up tomorrow (Saturday) around 9 EST. I think Hap will be there and Sushi too if he can stay up that late. :) Maybe try to talk Shellon into coming if I can get in touch with her. Anyone interested?
Ditto. The Chat works fine even though the security certificate is expired. It's not a security threat. Though do keep in mind that IRC Chat can be monitored by people so don't say anything you would be upset about - if someone else heard it - while you're in there. Still not much difference from posting in that regard on a public forum.
Another option is to use a standard IRC client. mIRC works very well on Windows. Colloquy works great on mac.
If you're using your own IRC client, the settings you need to connect are:
Server: irc.irisheyesinternet.net
Room: #greasespotcafe
Be sure to set what id you want to be known as before entering the room if not coming from the GS Java app. If you forget, you can always do the following to change it once in the room:
Midnight, I wandered into chat before I turned into a punkin and soul searcher and sushi were making cricket sounds.
Maybe another time
I went into the chat room last Saturday night about 8:30 pm (EDT) but there was nobody there so I walked away from the computer.
Well, I completely forgot about the computer, fell asleep in front of the TV and when I came back around 3 AM to shut down the computer I was fascinated to see that quite a few forumers had come in, hung out, chatted, and left.
So the room was empty when I went in and empty when I went out. (I actually learned quite a bit about a few of you from reading the chats that went on.)
It looked like it was quite a party. Sorry I missed you all.

If you know when you'll be there, belle, I'll try to come in too.
Shellon and I had fun with David the other night.
would love, Love, LOVE to chat with y'all! I dunno my buddy's rehab schedule but will check tomorrow to help nail down a time. I suspect that I shan't be at her rehab facility too late either way. :)

people might need to try out Chat before they really want to be there. I had several warnings pop up trying to get in.
First I got a thing from Firefox that said Meta 3 was not enabled. I deleted Viewpoint and that cleared that up.
Then I got a few Unsigned or expired Certificate warnings- I said I didn't care about them.
Once I got in I had a great time with Shell and then Gen2 :)

If you're having trouble with the Java applet, this blog posts offers an alternative method: Altenative Method of Using GS Chat.

Not like I have a whole lot to say or anything, but I'm there now;
if you want to talk about the weather (or something).

I think I'll be able to be there this week-end. Depends on how my friend in the rehab facility from her radiation/chemo is doing.
