java chat - February 06, 2000 04:07 am UTC

Folks...
I have started a java based chat room for Club DSM Canada. Its java based which means you only need a browser, not a chat program. the url is here for now http://anexa.com/dsmcanada

please sign up and goto the public chat area and check for users when you log into club dsm Canada to check the ubb. It may be useful for instant tech info if it stays popular [Linked Image]

see ya there!!!

Seems to be down right now (sunday am)
but there was 4 of us on there last night I swear [Linked Image]

I hope reliability is not a factor at this site (but hey, what do you want for free [Linked Image] )

Bahhhh! I tried about five nicknames, and they're all taken! This is gonna take some real imagination...

Re: java chat - February 06, 2000 11:16 pm UTC

Just a suggestion... since its gonna be hard to catch people in the chat room's maybee have a set time when people can meet maybee?
Like maybee make it say 8pm meeting every other day or twice a week or something like that, so people would know that there is a chance to catch someone in the chat room.

Good idea, Thomas. An organised time would be a great idea to get everybody on line around the same time.

Thanks Giovanni,
also i think using real names would make things alot easier too. I mean people in here knows everyone by their real name,and if everyone makes nick names in chat than everyone will be clueless on who is entering the room and would have to ask who u are talking to and than remember the nick name and put it to the real name.

Re: java chat - February 11, 2000 07:02 pm UTC

Ok, we have beta tested it and its a little slow, but works well fo the most part. The site has been uploaded to ca.dsm by our handy dandy Andy [Linked Image]

please try it out nightly from 8pm-10pm or so.

You will need at least IE4 or netscape 4 or higher (java capable)

Did we decide on whether we go with aliases or with our real names? Any preferences?

What I have noticed with this server, some names are password protected. It seems to be on the entire server, not just our little window. So I would say login with your full name. Try mark_ppg or something like that. I don't think the nicks are that important unless we start getting some nasty folks or something [Linked Image] I do think that the full name or identifiable nick would be best

Anyone know why Java makes my poor computer run like a 286 for 5 minutes? It seems to be some sort of Netscape error...

Steve, we had some guys with fast connections complain about slowness...I don't know why though. I am running win 98/IE4 and have found no problems.

Can anyone with any insight, please explain, or offer an explanation?

Re: java chat - February 14, 2000 06:43 am UTC

once u log in it should take u straight in the room, there is only one!

If upgrade internet explorer it will automaticaly delete internet explorer 3 so u will have room for the new one.

Thomas, even though the size of the file is small, it requires triple the space to do the install. :-(

Hey Michel, it's time you put some of your mods money into your computer. People have phones with more memory than that! [Linked Image] [Linked Image]

Re: java chat - February 14, 2000 09:09 pm UTC

LOL. yeah I know. but it's not worth it only getting a bigger hard drive. It's a P60!!!

If only somebody could tell me what room it's in, I could probably access the proper room.

is it: _Club DSM Canada ??

If you use the link on the front page of http://www.ca.dsm.org/ does it not take you directly to the DSM Canada chat window?
