barb_a

I will be seeing Donna (Gyle’s ex) on Monday, and we may be having dinner
w/Gyle and Krista. Krista babysits for donna’s son and they’re friends. I
don’t know Netmeeting.

chrisb

HI, Mrs. Ammerman!

chrisb

Tell Gyle, Krista, and Donna I said hey

barb_a

response seems slow – the network, irc or your typing ?

chrisb

probably a little of each

chrisb

Where is everyone?

barb_a

I thought of inviting Gordon over tonite for this but we just got up here
this afternoon so I didn’t have time.

chrisb

Gordon would have a blast with this

* chrisb has a sudden desire to be back in NY

barb_a

Mom and I are going to Dirty John’s for lunch on Monday. Nah, nah

chrisb

Have one for me!

[SOUND]

chrisb

Did you hear that?

barb_a

we didn’t hear the sound and we can’t open the fie

chrisb

let me try another one

chrisb

make sure your sound is all the way on

[SOUND]

barb_a

sound is on, and he file says complete but we just have the blue line on
the screen

chrisb

let’s try this one

[SOUND]

chrisb

These are .wav files.

chrisb

If you go to find and plug in *.wav* you can double click on them to
hear them

barb_a

we have the sound files can play them from windows explorer but not
over mirc – is there an options setting I missed (tim)

chrisb

maybe, let’s check them

barb_a

it looks like that we’re it tonite…given that Easter is tomorrow may
have alot to do with it

chrisb

ok go to general options (fourth icon over)

chrisb

yeah, didn’t realize it was a holiday when I booked the room!

chrisb

and on the "sounds" tab click on "accept sound requests"

barb_a

barb got us hockey tickets for Easter Sunday – go figure…anyway, I
clicked the option on …

[SOUND]

chrisb

how was that?

barb_a

I bought the tix in Oct. – didn’t realize it was Easter. Heard it this
time! Is that you?

chrisb

lol

[SOUND]

chrisb

gonna go see the avalanche play?

barb_a

what do you mean?

chrisb

it’s a hockey team

barb_a

and here we thought it was a theatrical reference

chrisb

ahhh the play’s the thing!

barb_a

i tried sending you a sound did it work ? *you need to accept I
think…

[SOUND]

chrisb

I see it but it’s not downloading

barb_a

well I am trying different settings…

chrisb

maybe it’s mine

barb_a

oh well…the technology is never like on tv…

chrisb

I accepted your DCC invite but no you!

barb_a

very frustrating when you work for the company who puts that
propaganda on …

barb_a

I am selecting DCC – send.. correct ??

chrisb

correct

chrisb

Wendy and I had this same problem thurs. night

barb_a

try that..

barb_a

the file is large is there a size limit

barb_a

oh well…i hate computers…

barb_a

That was tim’s remark about computers.

chrisb

the limit is 4096 but I’m looking for where to put it

chrisb

OK when you go to DCC send set your packet size to 4096

barb_a

roger, packets at 4096…file is 260K…

chrisb

but still not working

chrisb

It says I’m acknowledging your send, but I still get nothing

chrisb

Do you have Netmeeting?

barb_a

Oh, well, it’s getting late. We need to get up early tomorrow so we’d
better sign off. Let us know when the next chat is

chrisb

ok I will

chrisb

see ya

barb_a

tell me where to get it…

chrisb

Netmeeting?

barb_a

yeah – was that the thing from Microsoft we used last time ? Since this
is my work machine I try to eliminate anything that I don’t use all the time

chrisb

Correctomundo! Since it’s only the two of us, we could get a voice
connection!

barb_a

ok, but not tonite…easter bunny’s a’comin’…

chrisb

They have a new version that’s cool Beta 4

chrisb

I believe in the Easter Bunny

barb_a

we’ll look for it and have it loaded for the next chat in case it’s just
the 2 of us again. Hope the bunny stops by your house Goodnight
