Find where everyone first joined the chat: Vance | Dan | Susanne | Maggi | BJB | Arthur | James | Michael | Susanne's clone | Li | Yaodong | Rachael | Shun | DavidW | Brian | Ying Lan | Juani

The chat log starts in Vance's office where Susanne went to play with Muscat, the cat who lives there. She saw the cat was hungry and tried to feed it. When Arthur appeared, Vance tried to help him with voice chat, but it turned out Vance was having trouble connecting on the voice chat server. Meanwhile Shun and Rachael were getting organized for their Tuesday class where they would bring their students in Japan and Taiwan together at Tapped In, and we visited Shun in his ESL Cafe. Fortunately Michael had managed to organize voice chat and prevent disappointment. Along with Webheads voice chatters like Yaodong, the voice chat attracted Liw, who joined Webheads as a new student..

VanceS asks, "Do you like it Michael?"

MichaelAC says, "O)K...I get it"

Susanne2 [guest] [to Liw [guest]]: "We may give you some infroductions. I am a Danish graduate student of education searching to improve my vocalulary in these Webhead discussions. - And to have some friendly fun, too!"

MichaelAC says, "I do like it - it was just a bit subtle for me."

VanceS says, "and she's eteaching in Yahoo"

Liw [guest] asks, "James and Vance Is it somethign wrong with that?"

MargaretD says, "Liw is in Sweden."

Liw [guest] says, "It is actually a very good way to practise English."

MichaelAC says, "Maggie - I think the URL for that Palace like place is http://www.worlds.com/ (as in plural worlds)"

VanceS says, "no, confusing only briefly. Now we have worked it out."

JamesSi says, "Nothing at all, Liw..."

Liw [guest] says, "I am a sophomore my majors are English and education."

JamesSi says, "Just interesting, that's all"

MargaretD says, "oops...yes it is mc...sorry"

Liw [guest] asks, "James Why is it intresting?"

Susanne2 [guest] [to Liw [guest]]: "may I ask, where in Sweden do you live and study ?"

Liw [guest] says, "Vance Yes, I would."

VanceS asks, "Are you logged on Yahoo?"

Liw [guest] says, "Now, I am."

MargaretD [to Michael]: "it came off a tech newsletter I get by email"

VanceS says, "connecting with audio server, please wait it says"

MichaelAC says, "Re the worlds.com. It is a 10 MB download which could be pretty long and slow for many modem users."

VanceS says, "I'll get it on my office lan now"

MargaretD says, "true...but they have a smaller version"

MichaelAC says, "OK - I'll look for that"

Susanne2 [guest] says, "www.worlds is for windows, nor for mac. Too bad :-("

MargaretD says, "4-5 MB"

MargaretD says, "it was just an idea...text chat is sufficient I think."

JamesSi [to Liw [guest]]: "I'm doing research into language learning and virtual communities, and I find the issues surrounding identity on the internet fascinating. It's easy to create different identities and to go from one to another on the net, in chatrooms and in MUDs anD MOOs."

You hear a quiet popping sound; ArthurM has disconnected. <See where we are in Yahoo -->

MichaelAC says, "I'll have a look at it anyway (to maggi)"

Liw [guest] says, "Oopssorry Susanne I live on Hammar close to Karlstad in Central Sweden."

VanceS says, "Arthur is shutting down to see if he can get voice working"

Liw [guest] asks, "James Where do you live?"

Liw [guest] says, "Oops Hammar"

JamesSi says, "Reading, in the UK"

Liw [guest] says, "I am not used to this chat yet Moo's has alywas been a headache."

Liw [guest] asks, "James Where in the UK?"

JamesSi says, "You'll soon get used to it."

Liw [guest] asks, "James Where are you from?"

JamesSi says, "Reading, Berkshire."

BJB [to Liw [guest]]: "you can click on DETACH to make your text window larger"

MargaretD says, "James...the interesting thing is that at some point you give it up and are who you are...and there are a large number who don#tplay a role."

BJB . o O ( that might help your headache :-) )

Susanne2 [guest] [to James]: "Yes - of course you can make up everything for a fake identity, but I guess that in Webheads where we make personal homepages, most people actually paly with open cards here?"

JamesSi says, " agree with you both, Margaret and Susanne."

Liw [guest] says, "Thanks much better"

MichaelAC says, "yes - and that is one I particularlly like"

Susanne2 [guest] [to Liw [guest]]: "I am from Farum, north of Copenhagen"

Liw [guest] says, "It is still difficult to follow though."

JamesSi exclaims, "I dont think many here are operating with fake IDs!"

BJB says, "One of the requirements of TI is that all members use real names..."

MichaelAC asks, "Oh - your name really is james?"

MargaretD says, "why gbother"

JamesSi [to Liw [guest]]: "Have a look through the logs of the chat when they are posted up..."

Susanne2 [guest] says, "Neither they seem to be fake personalities in our Tapped In community"

JamesSi [to Liw [guest]]: "you might begin to make sense of them then!"

JamesSi [to MichaelAC]: "yes it really is:-)"

VanceS says, "I still haven't worked out how to broadcast my note"

VanceS asks, "I remember it was /project name of note, but how do I find name of note?"

JamesSi [to Liw [guest]]: "some are better than others at following and taking part in the multiple threads of this kind of conversation"

Susanne2 [guest] [to Maggi]: "I do find this interesting - because the fake identity roleplay one issue of the chat dimension that is most often drawn to attention"

DanB [to VanceS]: "Click My Items in your TI web frame. It should appear there."

BJB says, "I think the role playing is a holdover from the original gaming purpose of MUDs"

JamesSi exclaims, "Hi BJ!!"

BJB [HelpDesk] waves to James

MichaelAC says, "But roleplay in chat can be very useful"

Liw [guest] says, "I have done many."

BJB says, "we're about to get our first snow today in central Pennsylvania."

JamesSi [to BJ]: "You've been quiet."

DanB asks, "How much snow are you expecting?"

BJB says, "about 4 inches..not a lot"

Liw [guest] says, "If you have said the same thing over a thousands of times it can be quite nice to say something different."

MichaelAC asks, "Many roleplays Liw?"

Susanne2 [guest] [to Michael]: "Yes, sure, I do agree about roleplays as a useful way of communicating, just that this seem not to be the case here"

Liw [guest] says, "Michael Yes, I have about this and that in both text and voice."

Liw [guest] says, "It can be a lot of fun."

MichaelAC asks, "Have you done *serious* roleplay in chat?"

Liw [guest] says, "It depends a lot on the teacher and the other students though."

VanceS asks, "I wonder if I can find our old roleplay in the Palace. Remember it?"

Liw [guest] says, "Michael All my rolesplays have been serious."

MichaelAC says, "I remember"

MichaelAC says, "OK Liw. Many are just for fun"

VanceS [webheaded] projects WhoozVance.

---------------
My name is Vance and I'm a consultant for Amideast <http://www.amideast.org> working as coordinator for computer-assisted language learning at a language institute in Abu Dhabi, UAE <http://www.mli.ac.ae>. You can find out more about me here <http://www.vancestevens.com/>. And you?
--------------

JamesSi [to Liw [guest]]: "are you talking about language learning roleplays or *recreational* ones?"

MargaretD says, "and some can be useful to learn language"

Susanne2 [guest] [to Liw [guest]]: "Webheads are fun, too, because all those people from all over the world are all concerned about how to use the net for teaching and learning - a hilarious mix of working and just spending some leisure time together"

VanceS says, "In a sense, a MOO like this one has aspects of a role play"

YaodongC Yaodong enjoys being with you.
YaodongC's personal recorder follows YaodongC to here.

YaodongC [MOOring] bows to all.

Susanne2 [guest] [to Vance,]: "sure we DO make our roles ourselves"

MargaretD says, "Hi Yaodong"

MichaelAC asks, "How so Vance?"

DanB says, "Hello, Yaodong."

VanceS says, "For example, I pretend to have a cat, and Susanne pretends to feed it things from my office"

Liw [guest] says, "James I am talking about language learning rolepalys particulkar in English in text and voice."

JamesSi says, "Hi Yaodong"

Susanne2 [guest] exclaims, "Hello Don!"

YaodongC says, "Hello, Dan."

VanceS says, "Hi Yaodong"

BJB [HelpDesk] bows to Yaodong

YaodongC says, "say Sussanne! :)"

Susanne2 [guest] [to VanceS]: "yes, the virtual pets are part of our roleplay"

MargaretD asks, "like telephoning phrases for example Liw?" <See where this is in Yahoo -->

Liw [guest] says, "Margret Yes, that is right."

JamesSi [to Liw [guest]]: "Vance is right, of course; the roleplays here somehow seem more real and more amusing than many language classroom ones."

Susanne2 [guest] [to YaodongC]: "I just recovered my large map of China, could you tell me the name of the closest larger city?"

VanceS says, "There is an interesting mix of fantasy in our role plays combined with the serious business of real communication"

Susanne2 [guest] hands a cup of hot chocolate to everyone

YaodongC [MOOring] grins

MichaelAC thanks Susanne

DanB bows to Susanne

VanceS [webheaded] sips OUCH

VanceS says, "that is HOT chocolate"

JamesSi says, "Something we've mentioned before is that we all play some kind of role in our everyday lives. In a MUD or a chatroom this is more obvious and perhaps easier to do."

VanceS [webheaded] blows gingerly

Susanne2 [guest] exclaims, "Have some whipped cream too!"

JamesSi says, "Thanks for the chocolate, Susanne"

Liw [guest] says, "Thanks Susanna"

Susanne2 [guest] exclaims, "I also baked some blueberry muffins, Canadian recipe!"

VanceS [webheaded] creates a sculpture with whipped cream on hot chocolate reaching almost to the ceiling

Liw [guest] says, "yummy"

Susanne2 [guest] looks at the melting cream

MargaretD asks, "because no one can see you james?"

VanceS says, "Voila, role play"

YaodongC [MOOring] yaodong offers some ' terrible food '

Susanne2 [guest] [to YaodongC]: "roast dog snoots and snake blood?"

MichaelAC says, "Can I have a coffee now Susanne? (I've finshed the chocolate)"

JamesSi says, "The virtual chocolate didnt do it foR me, I'm afraid, sO I'm just off to make myself a real cup of tea (so English!)"

Susanne2 [guest] Puts some cofee thermos on the table

YaodongC says, "from China./page susanne2 Susanne , do you have a new ID? yeah, snake soup."

Liw [guest] says, "Yao I thought Chinese food was supposed to be delicious."

YaodongC [MOOring] blushes

Liw [guest] asks, "so how can this chat help English learners?"

Susanne2 [guest] exclaims, "Help yourselves to some more hot beverage!"

MichaelAC thanks Susanne again

Liw [guest] asks, "Have you tried Smozze and Moo?"

YaodongC [MOOring] frequents Smoozze and DU MOO every week.

MargaretD asks, "good question Liw...could you see it helping you?"

Liw [guest] says, "Margret No, it hasn't."

JamesSi says, "The $64000 question Liw"

VanceS says, "we can't connect to moos in the uae. Something about the ports they use. Seems to be a countrywide problem"

Liw [guest] says, "on the other hand I haven't used it long enough to be able to say if it is good or not."

MichaelAC asks, "Why not Liw?"

MichaelAC says, "OK I see"

MargaretD asks, "that's all i needed to kw...what would help Liw?"

Liw [guest] says, "Michael I have had no one to talk with I am always alone there"

Susanne2 [guest] exclaims, "When I visited Guilin, some of the people in our travel team went to a local restaurant and had snakes , but they refused to eat one of those cute little Chinsese edible dogs for dinner. But, were they proud when they came back and told us the whole story about it!"

BJB [to VanceS]: "the connection problem is one of the reasons TI is moving away from the MOO platform"

Liw [guest] says, "and when I had a teacher there all I did was keep asking him how it worked."

Liw [guest] says, "until he had to leave."

BJB [to Liw [guest]]: "are you familiar with Viv@?"

JamesSi [to Liw [guest]]: "Many find it a form of conversation that is less demanding thsan face to face conversation... you can go back and check what you're about to 'say', for example."

MichaelAC smiles at Liw's problem

Liw [guest] asks, "No, I am not. What is that?"

BJB [to Liw [guest]]: "may I project a url to you?"

Susanne2 [guest] [to Liw [guest]]: "Those questions about how things work seem to be ac Children's disease of using the net for learning"

JueiC has connected.

Liw [guest] says, "sure"

VanceS says, "what is the problem exactly? (fine with projection)"

BJB . o O ( when I project, a new browser window will pop open for you )

BJB [HelpDesk] shows Liw the URL: http://www.ardecol.ac-grenoble.fr/viva/index.htm

MichaelAC says, "Please do BJ"

BJB asks, "I didn't project to all so I don't knock anyone offline...anyone else want to see it?"

DanB says, "Hello, Juei."

BJB [HelpDesk] shows MichaelAC the URL: http://www.ardecol.ac-grenoble.fr/viva/index.htm

JamesSi asks, "Is that Phil B's project?"

BJB [HelpDesk] shows VanceS the URL: http://www.ardecol.ac-grenoble.fr/viva/index.htm

BJB [HelpDesk] nods to James

MargaretD says, "nice site though"

BJB says, "Phil meets here every Tuesday"

You hear a quiet popping sound; JueiC has lost her link.

MargaretD says, "the place is growing"

VanceS says, "Yes, James wrote an excellent story here"

VanceS asks, "where was that bit James?"

JamesSi says, "I've seen it. It's very good for threaded (asynchronous) discussions. Just the sort of thing for learnewrs who want to pop in now and again."

VanceS says, "I've just discovered I downloaded worlds in Oct 2000"

YaodongC says, "we will have a new friend from Ireland in a minute."

JamesSi says, "Sorry vance. What bit? I wasn't paying attention."

BJB says, "the nice thing about Viv@ is that much of the planning takes place here in TI during the Tuesday meetings"

JueiC has connected.

VanceS says, "something about a dubious character living in this village"

MichaelAC exclaims, "And it's now winter time in the village!"

BJB says, "so there is a combination of live and asynch discussion"

VanceS says, "Hi JueiC"

BJB [HelpDesk] waves welcome back to Juei

MargaretD [to Michael...another]: "idea too"

Susanne2 [guest] agree with BJ; that is the advantage of Tapped In, so many projects being planned here!

DanB waves to Juei

MichaelAC says, "Yes Maggi"

ShunI has arrived.
Shun's Recorder follows ShunI to here.

BJB [HelpDesk] bows to Shun

Susanne2 [guest] bows politely to Shun

DanB waves to Shun

YaodongC [MOOring] bows to Shun

VanceS [webheaded] bows to DanB, MargaretD, BJB [HelpDesk], JamesSi [Webhead], MichaelAC, Susanne2 [guest], Liw [guest], YaodongC [MOOring], JueiC, and ShunI.

JueiC says, "Hi, I got something wrong with my PC. I think it's all right now."

JamesSi [to VanceS]: "I think that must have been someone else:-)"

ShunI says, "Made it in time."

JamesSi says, "Hi Shun"

JueiC says, "Hi, Shun"

JamesSi says, "Hi JueiC"

ShunI says, "James, Juei and Vance."

VanceS asks, "hi, how are your plans coming .. when is the meeting? This Tuesday?"

ArthurM has connected.

ShunI says, "Yes, Tuesday."

YaodongC exclaims, "Hi, Arthur!"

VanceS asks, "Can we come or would that be too confusing for your students?"

JamesSi says, "Hello Arthur"

ArthurM says, "Hello again"

ShunI says, "I don't know."

DanB says, "Welcome back, Arthur."

VanceS says, "Hi Arthur. THe Yahoo voice chat server might be playing up."

ShunI says, "That's a pretty bad time, Vance."

VanceS says, "I'm in Abu Dhabi, Shun. It's 9 a.m. for me."

YaodongC says, "timezone is a headache for us all."

ArthurM says, "Thanks for your help, Vance; and I may have a hardware conflict."

ShunI says, "Drop in and see us then."

Susanne2 [guest] says, "Shun, in case I can get out of my bed early enough, I hope to meet your students this Tuesday, too"

VanceS says, "Great, I'll be there"

Liw [guest] says, "It is 2 am in Sweden."

ShunI says, "OK, everybody come and see my girls."

Liw [guest] says, "Oops"

Liw [guest] says, "pm"

DanB [to ShunI]: "Is Rachel coming today?"

JueiC asks, "Shun, you said we will meet in E1112 on Tuesday. Are you in E1112? Why can't I see you name in "who's on line"?"

ShunI says, "No, Rachel said she won't."

JamesSi says, "Shun , that's great. What time GMT? (I think there was some confusion about this earlier on the emails)"

ShunI says, "That's my office."

BJB [to JueiC]: "click on UPDATE in the top right of your screen"

VanceS says, "To all who are trying Yahoo voice chat, I'm not connecting to anyone today ..."

Susanne2 [guest] [to ShunI]: "If we are many people, maybe we should consider to meet somewhere with more than just one room, and spilt up in smaller conversation groups?"

MichaelAC exclaims, "I'm not trying Vance - I'm happy here today!"

DanB [to ShunI]: "When your students login, will they go straight away to your office?"

YaodongC says, "MY yahoo audio configuration goes wrong today."

ShunI says, "Yes, they set it /home."

DanB [to ShunI]: "Then, should I just join you there?"

YaodongC [to ShunI]: "how many of them are logging on at that time?"

ShunI says, "Dan, students can get in only in limited areas."

MichaelAC says, "Susanne - you may be right about smaller groups."

ShunI says, "Yes, Dan, Please /join ShunI."

JamesSi [to Liw [guest]]: "No voice chat for anyone today. Another advantage of text chat... it seems to be fairly reliable"

BJB . o O ( only students with student accounts have limited access )

VanceS asks, "Michael, would you mind connecting to eteaching on Yahoo, just to see if you can get voice with her?"

DanB [to ShunI]: "Very good. That's what I'll do."

Susanne2 [guest] says, "I wonder if I can invite a student to visit my office"

ShunI says, "Thanks for correction BJ."

MichaelAC says, "Ok Vance I'll try....." <See where Michael connects with Li at Yahoo -->

DanB says, "Not if your going to feed them cat food, Susanne."

ShunI says, "Dan, we'll have keep an eye on Rachel's students as they meay come in as guests."

YaodongC [MOOring] grins

VanceS says, "thanks michael"

Susanne2 [guest] [to Shun]: "are your students real members, visitors or having a student's license?"

JueiC says, "I wonder how our students can figure it out since so many people speak at a time. It may be necessary to divide them into groups. But we'll see how many of them will join."

YaodongC [MOOring] likes Dan's humour.

ShunI says, "They are registered here as students."

DanB [to ShunI]: "Perhaps, I should wait in Reception to help them get to your office."

YaodongC [to BJB]: "May I suggest that Tappedin start something similar to VSPO in DU MOO?"

BJB [to Shun]: "your students have student accounts?"

Susanne2 [guest] [to Dan]: "If they have set Shun's office as home, they will get there directly"

ShunI says, "Yes, BJ."

VanceS [webheaded] waves ... So this is Rachel then? I just figured that out (I think)

DanB [to Susanne2 [guest]]: "I meant Rachel's students."

ShunI says, "Not Rachel's students, Susanne."

BJB . o O ( if they have student accounts they will log in to the SAC and can then go to Shun's office if he has set it up that way )

Susanne2 [guest] says, "Oh, total consusion! I was not aware of Rachel being idetical with Juei :-))"

JueiC says, "You know, in order for them to get familiar with the MOO environment, I'm going to meet them in the lab room at my campus for the first time.. They can ask me directly in case they have any problem."

ShunI says, "Rachel says they have not bee here before."

DanB asks, "I'm confused. Is Rachel here or not?"

MichaelAC asks, "Vance - I have Yahoo open now...who am I looking for?"

JamesSi says, "I think Rachel is JueiC"

VanceS says, "eteaching Michael"

Liw [guest] asks, "I mean your yahoo ID?"

Susanne2 [guest] [to Rachel]: "AND WHAT DO YOUR STUDENTS CALL YOU?"

ShunI says, "Rachel is not here tonite but will be with us on Tuesday, Dan."

Susanne2 [guest] smiles at Juei

ShunI says, "I didn't know that either."

Susanne2 [guest] [to Shun]: "I believe your students know you as Ito Sensei?"

DanB [to ShunI]: "I think I've just been told that Rachel is here as JueiC!"

VanceS says, "Shun, it looks to me like Rachael is here"

BJB [to Shun/Rachel]: "perhaps it would be best to meet in the SAC...less confusing for your girls and there are separate meeting rooms where the students can break into small groups"

JueiC says, "Chinese ususally call their teacher "Teacher", seldom call them their first names."

ShunI says, "Yes, Susanne."

Susanne2 [guest] says, "I liked your homepage for students a lot, Shun... or sould I say mr. Ito :-)"

BJB . o O ( perhaps everyone would like to go to the Student Activity Center and take a look at what is there? )

DanB exclaims, "My students call me Professor. I can't say what my wife calls me!"

ShunI says, "Call me shun,"

ShunI asks, "Have you people seen my office?"

JamesSi says, "I liked your homepage for students as well, Shun. Very welcoming and friendly, I thought."

DanB says, "OK, BJ. I'm off to explore the SAC."

Susanne2 [guest] nods to Shun - but when your students are involved, they might like us to call you Ito?

ShunI says, "No, sensei is used in class."

DanB leaves for the SAC.

DavidW says, "Yes, as it was reported, the Germans were most prepared and "excited" about it."

MargaretD says, "no, I don't Vance."

VanceS [webheaded] listens to Ying Lan

MargaretD says, "not necessarily excited David, just practical."

DavidW nods.

ying [guest] says, "I confronted the problem of losing my job by working hard to find another one" it means.. 'I worke hard to find another job' or "I worked very hard in my original company""

VanceS says, "that's great. That means it's imminent"

MargaretD exclaims, "good!"

DanB says, "I've always felt that if one is going to be peripatetic, one should at least be confusingly so."

ying [guest] says, "It is Feb. 12, 2002"

DavidW [to DanB]: "Well, if you have an itinerary, it can be less confusing"

BJ . o O ( won't be the first time :-) )

DavidW says, "Okay."

DavidW [to BJ]: "Now, that's not really fair, is it?"

DavidW grins.

BJ [HelpDesk] chuckles

DavidW asks, "Can we edit the transcipts, a la Rosemary Woods?"

MargaretD . o O ( BJ knows something )

DavidW exclaims, "Oh, a big gap!"

DavidW pokes BJ [HelpDesk].

VanceS says, "seriously, we don't want to violate anyone's sense of ethics"

DavidW says, "C'mon, tell them."

DavidW [to VanceS]: "Just kidding, mostly."

DavidW says, "It's an interesting topic, though."

VanceS says, "you can also join us if you like, just send email to efiwebheads@yahoogroups.com" <Vance was mistaken; the actual address is efiwebheads-subscribe@yahoogroups.com>

MargaretD . o O ( hmmm...I'm listening )

DavidW says, "Alex and Justine want to get donuts, so I need to drive them to the store."

VanceS [webheaded] feels somehow that David's sense of ethics are not violated

DavidW says, "One of the connections between BJ and me is a book she sent me called, "No, David!" - a children's book that is quite funny."

DavidW . o O ( ethics )

VanceS says, "excellent"

MargaretD says, "ll"

DavidW . o O ( ll? )

DavidW . o O ( olo? )

DavidW says, "thanks, but I already had breakfast. I think I'l leave the donuts to the kids."

DavidW [to VanceS]: "THanks for your concern. It's not a problem for me."

DavidW smiles.

MargaretD says, "I was wondering who has the cheese feet..."

DavidW says, "My niece, Justine, thinks it is cool that we are chatting online around the world."

DavidW says, "She needs to find her shoes, though."

MargaretD says, "it is cool"

VanceS says, "too bad I don't have my web cam up. You would see me in my shorts in my office, changing clothes hurriedly"

DavidW [to MargaretD]: "Do you want to say hello to her, she's looking."

VanceS says, "HELLO JUSTINE"

MargaretD exclaims, "sure..Hi Justine!"

DavidW says, "hi"

DavidW looks justine.

MargaretD asks, "what grade are you in Justine?"

DavidW asks, "Justine wanted me to ask you all why we were discussing farting earlier?"

DavidW says, "She's in 5th grade at Wrightstown Elementary School."

VanceS exclaims, "because it's our favorite topic!"

MargaretD says, "it was a topic last week"

VanceS asks, "everybody does it, right?"

VanceS asks, "so why not talk about it?"

DavidW says, "We are both smiling. It's Alex's, Justine's brothers favorite topic as well."

DavidW says, "Right, even Chloe, the black cat (there are 3) farted on New Year's Eve."

DavidW says, "When the ball dropped in Times Square"

VanceS says, "It's everyone's favorite topic, next to that other topic that no one can talk about"

MargaretD asks, "does he eat a lot of beans?"

DavidW sings, ~\ Birds do it, Bees do it /~

DavidW says, "Chloe eats most anything, she has even sipped red wine."

DavidW says, "Can't tell you exactly about the beans."

MargaretD says, "I meant her brother"

DavidW laughs.

DavidW says, "No, but he farts more than Justine."

DavidW [to MargaretD]: "Who is a lady?"

MargaretD says, "Justine"

Juani [guest] says, "Hello to everyone"

DavidW says, "Yes, she's a lady, I guess."

BJ picks up 2002/01/06 Webheads.

BJ [HelpDesk] quietly leaves the room.

DavidW says, "Justine has a chant that she enjoys"

DavidW asks, "Do you want to hear it?"

BJ has arrived.
Shadow follows BJ to here.

DavidW waves to BJ [HelpDesk].

BJ [HelpDesk] waves back to David.

VanceS says, "juani nice to see you again but I have to run or I'll be late to my next event."

DavidW says, "Okay, here's how Justine's chant begins..."

BJ . o O ( just putting the webheads script in Vance's office...missed it stopping so will have to make another for the rest of the dialogue )

DavidW says, "On the land of Mars, where the women smoke cigars, and the men wear bikinis and the children drink martinis"

VanceS says, "I've got the gaps in my emails thanks. I noticed when it stopped but I was here."

VanceS says, "Thanks for looking after things though. I sure appreciate it."

VanceS says, "I'll get the logs from my office later."

DavidW waves to VanceS [webheaded] Have a good day.

VanceS says, "Thanks again and bye everyone."

DavidW says, "Ciao"
