Webheads chat logs from March 11, 2001

Meet the people in the chat today

Vance Maggi Michael John Ying Lan Felix Juani Moral
UAE Germany Australia Puerto Rico Taiwan Bahia Chile China

And Naeem, from Pakistan, living in Abu Dhabi

Jump to logs from: Homestead | ICQ | Tapped In

We had a friendly and wide ranging chat tonight. At the appointed time, noon GMT, John in Puerto Rico told me via ICQ that Maggi in Germany was in the Homestead chat room, and Ying Lan joined us about the time that I got there. Ying Lan was having a bad day at her job in Taiwan because her boss is a little Caesar. Meanwhile Moral had appeared in the Excite chat room, all the way from Kunming, but he couldn't get to the Homestead one as well, so he and I talked about his hopes to work for Save the Children, and the job interview he had with them which didn't go so well because of an Australian lady who asked him questions he didn't quite understand. Felix soon appeared in Homestead from a morning in Brazil but he couldn't stay long because he was at his sister's and she's an Internet freak and needed to go online. Juani came into Homestead from across the continent in Chile just after Felix had left. Meanwhile, Michael had arrived from Brisbane to join us in the Excite voice chat room where he and Moral discussed the cultural aspects of the abortive job interview and how well suited to her job the Australian woman could possibly have been. By then, Naeem had joined us; he is from Pakistan, but lives in Abu Dhabi where Vance had met him at a conference last month. Naeem had to leave when some friends appeared at his house.

The chat was quite hectic with Michael and I struggling to keep up with both voice and text chats, and Juani losing her Homestead connection each time she tried to join us in the Excite voice chatroom (she never made it). Moral suggested that next time we all chat on ICQ and those who can join us in voice chat as well. The goal is to find a combination of places that work like Hear Me did for us, where we can all talk and / or write to each other in the same chat. We hope we will soon find a single client that gives us this capability. Meanwhile, to test what other clients he could reach, Moral made his way into Tapped In via GMUD and joined Vance in his office. John was able to meet him there and hold a conversation, but Vance had been inactive for two hours and couldn't revive his connection (I could see John and Moral in my office but had no chat window and, since it's on that window, no way to log out - closing the browser and reconnecting put me in the same, inactive condition). So Vance gave up and went home, as did everyone else.

<ying> HOw are you ?

<John> Hi Ying. Belated birthday greetings.

<ying> Thanks

<John> I had trouble typing a minute ago (Well, not typing, I typed it ok, but I couln't send).

<ying> Now, I joined webheads twice.

<John> I sent a request to join from my work address, but I can't verify until Monday morning.

<Vance> congratulations

<John> So, did you have fun on your birthday?

<Vance> no problem there. John, I never got yours

<ying> I got the same letters twice

<ying> No.....

<Vance> Do you want one set for email and the other to no mail?

<ying> You ask me?

<Vance> yep

<Vance> I've got a couple things I need to do on the site so I'll visit it now

<ying> ying.lan@msa.hinnet.net for sending mail... and yinglan@gcn.net.net for receiving mail.

<Vance> You can send mail from either address

<Vance> You can choose where to receive (I'll fix it for you)

<John> I got a request to confim that it is really me - and to make sure egroups can send to that address.

<ying> I only can send mail by yinglan@msa.hinet.net

<John> It's standard procedures on most lists.

<Vance> You should be able to send from the other as well. I'll check.

<ying> I mean that I can not send mail by gcn.net.net because I connected by hinet not gcn.net.

<John> I guess maybe I should join with my third account, too. I never can remember if I am using Caribe.net or Centroweb.net

<ying> Have you read my posting mail? Do you understand what I wrote?

<Vance> Ying Lan is registered as ying.lan@msa.hinet.net AND

<maggi> it was good Ying....-)

<ying> Thanks.

<John> Yes, it was very good.

<Vance> AND ying.lan@msa.hinet.net

<John> Maybe that explains it.

<ying> "She is spinny" is right?

<ying> You probably have to delete one.

Anonymous7159 has joined the chat room.

<Vance> sorry, and yinglan@gcn.net.tw

Anonymous7159 is now known as Felix.

<ying> I can not find "spinny"in my dictionary.

<Felix>

<John> Hi, Felix.

<Vance> Guys, Moral is in the excite room

<Vance> Hi Felix

<ying> Hi felix

<Felix> Hi pals

<maggi> do you mean skinny?

<John> Some words might not be in the dictionary, Ying. It might be slang.

<maggi> Hi Felix

<ying> no... I mean airhead

<Felix> Yesterday I was reading something and thought the article was misspelled.. IT was written hostel.

<Felix> then I realized what hostel is.. kind of different from hotel

<ying> Youth hostel

<maggi> ok, then spinny makes sense

<John> What's the difference, Felix.

<ying> "Youth hostel" is my favrite.

<Felix> hostel generally has a public bathroom, is not as comfortable as a hotel..

<maggi> the comfort level?

<Vance> Hi Guys, anyone want to join Moral and I in voice chat?

<Felix> I can't Vance.

<ying> It is cheaper....

<maggi> that too

<Felix> like diner and dinner

<Felix> different words and different meanings as well

<maggi> are you at least getting dinner 'Felix?

<John> You might mention to Moral that I am using "Welcome Home, Macao" in my Composition class.

<ying> I can not do my job well... I have no time to read.

<maggi> I enjoy my work Ying so it isn't sad

<Anonymous43> Where are working Ying?

Anonymous43 is now known as juani.

<John> Yes. I can see how that would be sad. I have been a bit overworked lately, too.

<ying> But you do not have a nagging little Caseaer.

<juani> I got out on the way to find the voicechat

<maggi> I have an SS agent...:-)

<John> Wednesday, my committee has to go to the capital to attend a University Board meeting and convince them we should be allowed to offer a new degree.

<ying> What is the SS agent?

<juani> what´s that?

<Vance> Can I help you? Did you find the url or shall I give it to you.

<John> We are in the middle of changing our caesars and SS peopel

<Michael C> I think Vance already said this bit I'm chatting with him and Moral in voice chat.

<juani> i didn´ find it...

<Vance> I'm getting it for you

<maggi> SS people are control freaks

<juani> Ying..where do you work?

<John> By June we will go from a university administration that is pro-statehood to one that is pro-colony.

<ying> I work at a BANK.

<Vance> http://www.excite.com/communities/chat/voicechat/rooms

<Vance> This is the starting url

<maggi> and they only look out for number 1

<John> She is in charge of all the money in the bank.

<John> I work at a University.

<ying> Not yet... I am a LITTLE POTATO here.

<juani> Oh,,a lot of responsibility..Thanks Vance..

<John> My dad used to work in a bank. He was in charge of the Vault.

<maggi> is that worse than a little fish?

<John> He was also a little potato.

<John> Much worse, Maggi.

<John> Fish can move.

<Vance> Moral and Michael and I are having a great chat

<maggi> lol

<John> I am going to HAVE to get my sound card replaced. The week if at all possible.

<ying> Fish eats potato.

<maggi> use pepper

<John> That's another difference.

<juani> http://www.excite.com/communities/chat/voicechat/rooms

<ying> What is the difference.

juani has left the chat room.

<John> Fish can move, Potatoes can't. Fish eat potatoes, Potatoes don't eat fish.

<ying> That's absolute right

<John> So being a little potato is worse than being a little fish.

<John> Welcome back, Juani.

<Vance> Hi Juani, did you visit the url?

<Vance> The next step is to join our room. It's called Webheads

<Vance> I didn't mention that because I thought I'd tell you when you got there.

<Juani> thanks..i went there..but..ah.now

<Juani> I´l try again..

Juani has left the chat room.

<Vance> ok, we'll wait here for you (and there)

Anonymous6 has joined the chat room.

<Vance> Ying Lan, Moral wants to know if you can join us in the voice chat

Anonymous6 has left the chat room.

<ying> i can not talk now...

<ying> I could join you but...

<ying> I am tired now...

<Vance> ok, Moral hasn't tried ICQ yet, but we think that can be a solution

<John> Sounds good.

<Vance> We can chat in ICQ and talk in Excite

<John> Ying, you shouldn't be tired.

<ying> I can not control my emotion ...

<ying> I am losing control.

<John> Are you emotionally tired or physically tired?

<ying> Both

<Vance> Is this about your ICQ message?

<ying> some of them.. some of my work.

<Vance> Work is a hassle now? Your little Caesar?

<John> I remember my dad used to come home from work and couldn't even stay awake.

<ying> I lost my patience....

<John> Did you tell your little caesar where to go?

<Vance> You told little Caesar what an idiot he is?

<ying> I am not strong enought to fight with him.

<ying> He is too nagging.

<maggi> ignore him then Ying

<maggi> close your ears

<John> I'll have to send you the stress reliever my sister-in-law sent me.

<ying> I know what is my weakness...

<John> As soon as I find where I saved it, I'll forward a copy to you.

<ying> Thanks john.

<ying> maggi,, I tried that...

<maggi> and?

<ying> I can not control my tears.

<maggi> think of something happy and smile instead

<John> Sounds like one of my ex colleagues. He had us all going crazy (I actually had to go to a psychiatrist because of him).

<Vance> what does he nag you about?

<maggi> never let anyone bother you

<John> Fortunately, he died.

<maggi> jeez

<ying> job.... he orlder me to do a lot of reports....some I thought it was ridiculous.

<maggi> don't let yourself get upset...people like that think they have power over you then

<maggi> go to his boss and tell him

<ying> My computer skills are not good.

<John> That's the same thing I tell my daughter, Maggi.

<ying> we have the same boss --my manager.

<maggi> go to him then

<John> So if you both have the same boss, little caesar isn't your boss?

<ying> I met my ex-Caeser today , he want me to ignore the new one's wrods.

<John> That sounds like a good idea.

<ying> he supposed to be my boss... but the powful one is my manager.

<ying> he wants me to inore the new one's words.

<Vance> Play up to your manager. Turn him against your Caesar.

<maggi> office politics eh?

<ying> I need time to cure the painful cut of my heart....

<John> That's what my daughter did. She became a close friend of her boss's boss's boss.

<ying> Waaaaa that's cool. But my manager is a male.

<maggi> try to ignore Caesar and if you can't simply put the facts on the table to the boss

<John> My daughter's big boss is a female. And also a close friend of mine.

<John> her boss and her boss's boss are both males (and friends of mine, also).

<ying> you are powerful, john.

<maggi> that's how it works with men

<maggi> :-)

<John> Not really. It's just that her boss's boss's boss is also my boss's boss's boss (different ladders in the same company)

<John> I've just been there long enough to know where all the skeletons are buried.

<ying> To many bosses here.

<John> Well, her boss is director of finances. his is the dean of administration, and his is the chancellor (the woman who is my daughter's friend).

<maggi> and not enough Indians

<John> I knew all three of them when they were at the same (or lower) position that I have right now.

Michael C has left the chat room.

<John> But making friends with the boss's boss is always a good idea.

<ying> Yes, it is.

<John> Of course, in universities it works differently. My boss today may be my worker tomorrow.

<John> I was the boss for a number of years. As soon as I could get out of it, I went back to being an indian.

<ying> thanks for your comfort.

<John> No problem. We all need it at times.

<ying> it is late here. I need to go.

<maggi> the depp isn't worth wasting a single tear on Ying.

<John> I've been through some pretty bad times in my life. If I can use them to help someone else. . .

<John> then they were worth it.

<maggi> hve some sweet dreams.:-))

<John> Yes. Have sweet dreams.

<ying> Thanks

<John> Dream you are drowning your little caesar.

<ying> see you next week.

<John> See you next week.

<maggi> bye Ying

<John> bye Ying.

<ying> bye

ying has left the chat room.

<Vance> bye,

<John> She sounds so much like Lisa.

<John> I'm back. Yes it was draining. Lisa is my oldest daughter.

<Vance> Moral has left Excite now. He's going to try to reach me at tapped in

<Vance> Moral suggested we chat in ICQ and talk in Excite,

<Juani> ah.yes.I also have icq.

<John> Do you think he can get into Tapped in?

<Vance> but he's concerned he doesn't have enough bandwidth for 2 chats at the same time

<Vance> I think he's done it before. He didn't want to open ICQ for fear of losing Excite.

<Vance> Moral is from China, Juani. Nice guy.

<Juani> that´ right. When i tried to enter Excite I was asked a password..

<Vance> If you go to that exact url, at the bottom of the page, it asks what room you want to join

<Vance> You never need a password unless you want to log in as yourself

<Juani> yes.I wrote webheads.

<Vance> Then it asks if you want to go on as a guest, which is what you want

<Juani> ok..I´l try next time.

<Vance> Then you just type in your guest name, and you join us

<Vance> So only trhree things (1) the exact url

<Juani> thanks....you´e very gentle

<Vance> (2) the chat room webheads

<Vance> and (3) a guest name

<Vance> If you want to try again I'm stil there

<Vance> We are all gentle here

<Juani> yes..I´l do it..

John has left the chat room.

<Vance> an anonymous character with an arandomous number

<Vance> I'm waiting for Juani in Excite and Moral in Tapped In

<John> Silly Putty? You mean I stick?

<Vance> and I'm still at excite. Funny how he can use that perfectly and not Homestead

<maggi> you bounce

<Vance> Who are you calling a 'bounce'

<John> Oh. Now I get it. I haven't used SP in such a long time, I forgot it bounced.

<maggi> John

<maggi> do they still make silly putty?

<Vance> I think so. my kids had it.

<John> I don't remember if they do or not.

<maggi> I wonder...I'll look next time I go to ToysR'us

<John> So will I.
