BjB: Erzsebet, what do you want to change your username to?

ClaireB: according to the message he left, he and bobbi are scuba diving SusanneN: sounds wet TeresaD: i was joking SusanneN: I just love the image of Vance scuba diving with that shark ClaireB: pity the poor shark lol MichaelI: What happens if you see that some1 has an Office here?

TeresaD: you can if it isn't locked, mike TeresaD: no problem and not considered rude, as far as i know RobertWB: I got so involved in other conversation, I missed a lot of here...I guess i will read the transcripts.. ClaireB: I love the way people talk about "entering" offices and other cyberspaces as though they were real physical spaces. I thinkit's fascinating RobertWB: Will there be a remedial session. SusanneN: Michael, if people are alon,e you can join, if they have visitors uit is best to send a private messageand ask politely SusanneN: remedial, Bob? TeresaD: that has always fascinated me, clarinha RobertWB: Like if I didnt read everything here this morning....can I repeat the class. SusanneN: Claire, I think this is a natural follow of how our minds are used to organize social settings ClaireB: I once spent 2 hours trying to convince 2 people who were angry with each other to go into the same room. I was in the US, one person was in Japan, and the other person was in Australia RobertWB: How would I know if someone was in my office if I am in here. SusanneN: Bob, you will get a transcript in your mailbox RobertWB left the room. ClaireB: but it was as if we were in a real "house" with only a few meters of separation SusanneN: they might sneak around behind your back SusanneN: Yes, Claire MichaelI sips a pre-prandial glass of "Conte Zecca" red wine from the Salento region. RobertWB joined the room. SusanneN: In old TI, we used to spend lots of time using the elevator and moving between floors SusanneN: WB, Bob RobertWB: Well, I found out that I cant be in my office and here at the same time. SusanneN: didyou find any intruders in your office? TeresaD: yes, and it was such a real feeling, sus SusanneN: they might sneak around behind your back ClaireB: why was it a nice feeling, tere? RobertWB: No, but people can visit my office while I am not there and leave a message, right? SusanneN: I still struggle a bit imagining the architecure here in e new Tapped In environment MichaelI: The old TI? When was it upgraded? RobertWB: Well, I see they had not emptied the trash in my office.. RobertWB: and no one had watered my plants. BjB: TI2 was officially opened in March 2003 SusanneN: the old MOP style was more visually oriented, although text based (supplied with teh sreen images) TeresaD: yes, they can leave a message, bob RobertWB: cyber african violets....the lights were on, but they did not have water. BjB: on your whiteboard, Bob SusanneN: Bob, you need regular habits to keep your office neat and tidy SusanneN: lol RobertWB: Me...regular habits....I dont think so... SusanneN: we used to have virtual pets that needed care and attention RobertWB: I am afraid that my plants ARE my virtual pets. SusanneN hands you a bag of organic fertilizer RobertWB: Thanks, I think. SusanneN: I miss my virtual guinea pig, she was so well trained RobertWB: I think with that, I need more coffee and a stretch of my old legs... SusanneN hands you a cup of strong mocca SusanneN: we also need a gym room RobertWB: You folks have a great day...the sun is rising here...maybe...or maybe its gonna rain...either way...I got stuff to do. MichaelI: This is a very interesting environment. I think the Brtitish Council could adapt its 'Global Village' cyber-environment to look a bit more like this. SusanneN: bye for now, Bob, great to see you around TeresaD: bye, bob RobertWB: See you all later in the week... RobertWB: bye. ClaireB: bye bob SusanneN: Michael, this palce has developed though years of heavy duty with thousands of users MichaelI: One very practical feature here is that the Chat is detached from the rest of the site so that while chatting you can explore the rest of the site. RobertWB left the room. MichaelI: ->Susanne: how many years? SusanneN: Bj, is that since 1996??? BjB: 1997 SusanneN: the first version was a text only MOO? SusanneN: then came the first browser interface with images... BjB: yes, with a separate Java applet window MichaelI: 1997? Interesting. The Net has only really caught on in Italy since '98 or even 2000, with the advent of Win 98 and faster speeds - and cheaper computers. BjB . o O ( you had to type all the MOO commands in the text window ) ClaireB: ah do I ever remember moooo commands SusanneN: and even when the graphic interface came yup, many people still connected with text only because of slower modems MichaelI: I see that the numbers are diminishing in this Chat! A reflection of the day moving ahead. I must attend to my Sunday luncheon! :-) SusanneN looks fantastic in a new silk gown with large roses MichaelI: yahp, 56k modems are standard in Italy now and many ppl are getting ADSL. SusanneN: we used a bit more imaginateio nack then SusanneN reaches out to pet her virtual pussycat on the couch SusanneN hands out bagels with dream cheese and salmon MichaelI: Any highlights in the week's programme? I must check the Webheads site this evening. TeresaD: the caht with mike coghlan on wed TeresaD: chat MichaelI left the room. BeeD joined the room. TeresaD: wb, bee TeresaD: did you have a nice meeting? BeeD: I'm chatting in Polish on YM SusanneN: Yes Michael Coghlan on Wednesday, 1t 22 GMT, and BJ on Thursday MichaelI joined the room. SusanneN: Sounds like great fun, Bee BjB: Bee, can you ask Babi to log out of Tapped In so I can change her username? TeresaD: fabulous, bee. and how's that polish of yours? TeresaD: rusty?! SusanneN: Michael, check he calendar: YMichael Coghlan on Wednesday, 1t 22 GMT, and BJ on Thursday SusanneN: MichaelI entered the room. ClaireB: BeeD, does YM handle the polish fonts? SusanneN: Sorry, I was copying & pasting MichaelI: Thanks very much Suzanne. SusanneN leaves for a cup of cofee but will get back eventually MichaelI: BTW seems as tho while wandering around I inadvertently left the Chat room. MichaelI: Perhaps I should have set "Attach" on the Actions. SusanneN: yes, that happens sometimes MichaelI: Did I do anything wrong? SusanneN: BJ, can we exlpain how to do that without problems? SusanneN: try do do as follows: openA NEW BROWSER FROM YOUR DESKTOP ICON SusanneN: adn use that for opening new pages BjB: if you leave this room, a new chat window will open in the room you enter, Michael MichaelI: That would be CTRL+N to open a new window? SusanneN: I still wonder sometimes how to avoid that unwanted leaving TeresaD: me too, sus SusanneN: that is not a good way , that will often make you leave and be asked for a new login BjB: Michael, that will open a new Tapped In window and log you out of this one SusanneN: I think this is kind of a bug BjB: Michael, click on this hyperlink www.tappedin.org/transcripts SusanneN: that would be a very habitual way of working BjB: that will open a new window for you MichaelI: OK, well not to worry, it has still been a great Chat (much better than IRC ;-)) MichaelI: And I will be getting the Transcript. BjB: It's not really a bug, Sus... MichaelI sips his red wine SusanneN: Once you get to know the best practices, you will feel more confortable Michael BjB: when you open a new window using CTRL N you always get a duplicate of the window you're in, yes? MichaelI: OK, thanks. And now, as the Iranian air traffic controller said, my time is definitely up! SusanneN: Nah, maybe not a bug, but a usability problem BjB: you can only be logged in to TI one time so the new window triggers the old one to close SusanneN: see you around! ClaireB: lol michael SusanneN: good explanation BJ BjB waves bye to Michael SusanneN: brb in ten minutes ClaireB: bj is an invaluable help TeresaD: bye, mike MichaelI: Bye Bye all!
