Webheads chat logs from March
25, 2001
Meet the people in the chat today
Clocks in the northern hemisphere had just sprung forward and those in
the southern hemisphere had just fallen back an hour, putting those affected
two hours apart from one another, and this could have affected attendance at
our weekly session. Ying Lan and Vance were not affected and appeared at what
was for them the normal time. For Maggi it was an hour later than usual, while
Michael joined us an hour earlier in the evening compared to when he usually
did. However, Webheads is not affected by clocks going forward or back;
Webheads meets at noon GMT, which does not fluctuate during the year.
I was alerted to the start of our online class by Ying Lan's voice
calling from my computer. Most of the chat took place in our Excite chat room,
and was therefore not recorded. However when Ying Lan left, Michael and Vance
and Maggi tried to get into the Palace at plantation.chatserve.com but it
wasn't 'up' at the time. We therefore tried another Palace Maggi and I had
found the week before, xsia.com. This Palace doesn't let you hang out for long
at its gateway, but hurries you down a path to a village where the first three
huts on the right are hot-linked to other areas. Michael and Vance decided to
try the Waterfall and Hang Glider rides. The Hang Glider ride is expecially
recommended, and Michael and Vance got to where they could do it together
(whiile Maggi waited at the village). Michael questioned the pedagogical value
of these rides but nevertheless wanted to have a second go. Meanwhile, Juani
appeared in Homestead and on Yahoo chat and gave us the good news that she had
been acceped for a Fullbright Teacher Exchange Program, and would be spending a
year in Mississippi while an American teacher enjoyed a year in Chile (lucky
American teacher, Vance said -- great opportunity for that teacher and for
Juani!!) By then, Vance had to dash off to participate in a running event, so
if there's more, Maggi or Juani can tell us about it.
I started recording the chats when Juani arrived. Before that, Ying
Lan had talked with us in Excite but had left no record, and Michael was just
about to leave. Maggi and I were about to do the same, when on Yahoo
