Cohousing-L Mailing List: Real time chat date reminder

[Rob Stewart (rstewart]

Just a reminder of a real time chat on CoHousing March 31 at 7:00 EST, 10:00
PST. the channel will be called #CoHousing. This is an experiment and if it
is successful we can set future dates. For those of you not so familiar with
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) allow me to explain: The participants can see what
is being typed by others so conversations can be had. To do so you will need
the appropriate software (called a client). If you don't have one download
it from this site: "www.ctfire.com" go to mIRC Programs and choose between
the 16 bit (if you run windows 3.1) or the 32 bit (Win95 users). Other parts
to that site may be useful like the FAQ's (frequently asked questions). Then
after 7:00 pm EST March 31, connect to a server. Once connected type "/join
#CoHousing" without the "". If you have chosen a server that demands you
register your nickname (mine is Rob_VI) the FAQ's will tell you how or just
choose another server.

This was intended for youth with adults welcome so we'll get it started and
turn it over, right? :-)

A young participant suggested a conversation with their views but adults
were invited. A chat line would be interesting. It would require a time and
date 
ie: March 31/97 at 7:00 pm EST, 10:00 pm PST and a channel: #CoHousing. I
will try it as an experiment and if it works then we can post here for
future times. It will be successful if 10 or more people join in the
discussion. Those knowledgable in CoHousing are invited to become Ops and
will have questions directed to them. My name on the chat line is Rob_VI.
