   string of gifs put in essentially the 
   same spot.

  width and height
(anne) kathy of bracketeers used them on

  you did not chris
(e-less) can you give the URL again - it 
   went by too fast
(anne) http://www.redshift.com/~sparks/
(e-less) thanks
(shadrak) you're welcome
(anne) you mite be able to scroll up 
  your screen and copy it and then paste 
  it into your browser too e-less
(shadrak) or switch to mIRC and use a 
   URL catcher!
(e-less) are you kidding - I'm using ie 
   ona very slow system which is choking 
   on office 97

(e-less) don't know - would be afraid of 
   losing this channel
(anne) true, you mite not have enuf 
  memory to do both

   homework by sending teachers links to 
   lesson3 and log)  Any other ideas?

  try it
(anne) that is all i think you need to 
  do shadrak
(anne) and i put the link to the log on 
  homework 3 too just in case
(anne) do we have to do anymore writing 
  for it
(e-less) shouldn't we organize it a bit 
   - say list the tasks and then give 
   the discussions logs and or urls's
(ingo) I think that should do it
(shadrak) so I just need one link.  4 
   GOODY 

(anne) e-less, our logs our filled with 
  discussion back and forth
(anne) i do not think it is necessary to

* flamingo thinks that it might be a 
  good idea to put everything under the 
  appropriate Challenge #
(e-less) thanks - I'll try to do it but 
   just don't expect it to be uploaded 
   tomorrow
(shadrak) NAH.  We aren't worried about 
   a grade e-less, and the teachers are 
   mainly interested in seeing that we a 
   re making progress.
(anne) hey we have til the end of the 
  week
(anne) i am still working on learning to 
  make something and reading PSP
(e-less) ok - I really want to do it
(e-less) PSP ?

   homework?  Great!

  tonight before we are ready
(anne) you just need to send email to 
  leapin and ghatten with the url
(anne) everything else will be posted on 
  the webpage
(shadrak) He's a flamboyant pld f---
(shadrak) old
(anne) hahahaha
(anne) guys, do we have the tiled 
  background covered?? and if so where
*** dale has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
(Tina) anne, yes
(Tina) I mean, ingo and either sal or 
   cynthia made a tiled background
(shadrak) What is a tiled background?  
   Anyone know?
(e-less) I thought it was the sort of 
   yellow background on one of the pages 
   - can't rememeber whose
(anne) and the other was an image 
  background
(Tina) a tiled background is a background
    that looks seamless on a page.... 
   you can't see seams
(e-less) image easy 
(anne) oh e-less, i made a page of the 
  different background squares we had 
  tried so far on my social.html
(Tina) ever see a page with a background 
   where you can see where each block 
   starts and ends.... that's not tiled
(shadrak) Still don't understand.  Is it 
   an image file used as a background, 
   with,, say, gradations in color?
(Tina) no, it's not an image
(anne) ok, and on my homepage i have an 
  article on how to make seamless 
  backgrounds, 
(Tina) it's the way a background looks
(e-less) yes I saw that page - the big 
   yellowy is what Im thinking of - no 
   seams tehre were tehre
(anne) that is on the education page 
  e-less
(ingo) I think you talk about the yellow 
   paper I have used ,right
(e-less) yes
(anne) ingo make it from papery.gif to 
  papery.jpg to make it load in less time
(e-less) were tehre seams - don't 
   remember
(ingo) so is that a tiled background?
(anne) it looks like all one piece
(ingo) there are no seams 
(shadrak) The way you describe it, my 
   government page qualifies e(except 
   possibly for the top frame)?
(anne) and look at ingo's bio, where he 
  used his family crest
(e-less) so - education page is it - no?
(anne) we can add a page, using each 
  background to homework, and say what 
  it is once we figure it out, LOL
(ingo) I don't think there are seams at 
   my bio page neither
(anne) shadrak, yuou only used background
   color tho
(anne) i agree ingo, just a repeating 
  pattern
(anne) and i tried using tina's face 
  logo to make a background
(shadrak) That's why I'm confused by the 
   description of what they are!
(ingo) I think shad used more than a 
   background colour
(anne) you are tiling squares of a 
  background.gif to make a background
*** Liz has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
(shadrak) had colors in tables
(anne) right shad
(ingo) Wouldn't background colour mean 
   even, no variations of colour, 
   structure etc
(anne) if you had a huge photo that did 
  not repeat itself, would that be an 
  image background?
(flamingo) I think that the lesson says 
   "background image" meaning one image 
   on your background
(flamingo) yes
(e-less) that's what I think
(anne) so all of ours are tiled that 
  anyone has used so far
(e-less) hard to do withut a candidate 
   for ugly
(flamingo) yes, anne
(flamingo) Most backgrounds are tiled 
   because it would take to long to load 
   otherwise
(anne) chris, did you still want to do 
  the single pixel? or do you want 
  e-less to do it
(e-less) could try something simple, 
   transparent maybe
(e-less) for image bkg i mean
(anne) try it and see then e-less
(anne) ingo has his background to use 
  for tiled example on his slideshow 
  e-less
(flamingo) Perhaps a background image 
   doesn't have to be too large ?
(e-less) ok - so far I'm doing image 
   bkg, organizing challenges for 
   presenting, anything else?
(anne) {{{{{{CHRIS}}}}} are you doing 
  single pixel? i did see if you 
  answered before
(e-less) I think you volunteered befoe me
(anne) but that was before she started 
  her other classes which are time-consum
  ing for chris
*** shadrak has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
(anne) what do we need to do for music 
  that we did not cover in the logs
(anne) guys, sal added a red music note 
  to shadrak's java script so that it 
  shows up in MSIE instead of the 
  button.gif
(anne) to click on for the choice of 
  music
-) [Chris] PING
(flamingo) Did we put down info about 
   challenge #5?
(anne) remind me which challenge that is?
*** Liz (~locuse@customs310.ipass.net)

(e-less) we should post to grou a 
   discussion of 1. netsacape pallete
(anne) welcome back liz
(flamingo) Locate resources regarding 
   the use of colors on the web.

   issue

  tutorial she wrote awhile ago
(flamingo) k
*** anne sets mode: +o Liz
(e-less) but what about posting the 
   discussion?
(Tina) brb
(e-less) I think I will try to specifiy 
   what the cahllenges were and try to 
   give the answeres that we have - any 
   holes can be filled in once we see 
   what we have
(flamingo) I agree ann

   summarize logs accurately - maybe you 
   all can help with that

   week's lesson.
(anne) e-less said she would try to make 
  any graphics that we need for our pages
(anne) but she is not sure what area she 
  should work on, wish she would get 
  back so we can talk about it
*** kaos (~ann@pm02-07.aei.ca) has 
joined #societal
(flamingo) Thanks to everyone for their 
   ideas and comments this week! It is 
   helpful!
(anne) i agree with you flamingo
*** kaos is now known as e-less
(anne) wb kaos e-less
(e-less) couldn't make the cahnge - sorry
(anne) e-less, we decided that was not 
  the chris who is part of our group
(anne) she would never have acted that 
  way
(e-less) what was the other site?
*** anne sets mode: +o e-less
(anne) the site for which e-less?
(shadrak) Tina, in Mirc go to FILE|SETUP|
   Local Info and check "Normal" on 
   bottom of menu.  You ought to be able 
   to connect to my site then.
(e-less) where we all tried to go when 
   shadrak couldn't stay here
(Chris) What seem is the problem shadrak?
(Tina) shad, ok
(flamingo) Shad, I connected with Server 
   clicked. Is that right?
(anne) e-less was not sure which area to 
  join
(anne) http://www.visi.com/~drozone/hands
  on/tiles/rock-orig.html
(anne) that is where there are panels of 
  an image e-less
(e-less) btw - I checked the last site - 
   the bkg image is composed of parts 
(anne) right
(e-less) not  a single image
(shadrak) Chris just apologized..didn't 
   know we were private.
(e-less) I meant - when you tried to 
   switch IRC "sites" - what ever 
   theyr're called
(anne) e-less, where you added the 
  buffnet server to connect, you should 
  be able to add irwin's server the same 
  way
(anne) putting in the address he gave us
(flamingo) tina, made it to shad's server
(e-less) ok - so what is the correct 
   address for him 
(anne) but unless you have another irc 
  program, you probably cannot connect 
  to two servers at once
(shadrak) Flaming. that's just in mIRC 
   4.7
(flamingo) I have mirc
(shadrak) you're using sprychat here
(ingo) Shad, I got a DNS lockup failure 
   when I tried to switch
(flamingo) and mirc on your server
(anne) shadrak, i think i mite have had 
  a password from before when i added 
  your server
(anne) i am going to try
(shadrak) Don't know anything about VIRC
(ingo) k
(e-less) I'm using IRC for windows 95 - 
   by hummingbird -
Session Start: Mon Feb 10 21:44:42 1997
*** Now talking in #societal
) whewwwww
(Tina) are we going to be talking about 
   anything new??? if not I'm going to go
(flamingo) I guess I have the right 
   program then  ;-)
(flamingo) Hi anne
) it was taking out the password and 
  checking local that did it
(flamingo) This is much faster
(e-less) I tried irwin.pacificnet.net - 
   timed out looking for host
(anne) ingo, did you try it again
(anne) and see that local info is to be 
  checked normal and not server where 
  you add or edit the server
(anne) tina, i do not know
(shadrak) I have nothing new.
(flamingo) Me either
(ingo) I just tired it agian - didn't 
   work
(shadrak) e-less try 207.171.23.84
(anne) exzcept we need to get e-less 
  slotted into one of the govt, social 
  or education areas
(shadrak) Good point anne
(e-less) try where
(shadrak) Try those numbers as an IRC 
   address
(anne) tina, are you finding the stuff 
  you need for your page?
*** ingo (a066@dialup1.lambton.on.ca) 
has joined #societal
(Tina) anne, yes
(shadrak) ingo made it
(anne) good
(ingo) The numbers worked for me
(flamingo) hi ingo
(shadrak) ah so!
(anne) liz, did you try getting to 
  shadrak's server
(shadrak) He used the numeric address
*** kaos (ann@pm02-07.aei.ca) has joined 
#societal
(Liz) no.  i believe i have to disconnect
    here before i can connect to him
(ingo) hi shad
*** kaos is now known as e-less
(shadrak) and here comes kaos
(anne) do you windows 95?
(flamingo) e-less made it
(e-less) I made it
(flamingo) hi e-less
(shadrak) I think I know where our next 
   meeting is going to be.
(e-less) thanks shadrak
-) [Liz] VERSION
(Liz) no
(e-less) he flamingo 
(anne) liz, i will send you info on how 
  to add another mirc so you can connect 
  twice
(flamingo) I agree shadrak
(e-less) I'd better save this then
(shadrak) Will keep out phoney Chris"
(anne) you just have to copy mirc.exe to 
  mirc2.exe and then rename your 
  original mirc.exe to mirc1.exe and add 
  an icon
(anne) i will find it in the fac sheet 
  to be sure i give you the right 
  directions
(ingo) Was it just co-incidence that 
   this was a Chris or did he watch and 
   puposly bud in
) and i will send liz info on how to add 
  another mirc so she can connect
) that was so strange ingo
(flamingo) How much disk space does that 
   take up anne
(e-less) A big black nose is telling me 
   it's time to go 
(anne) not very much flamingo
(anne) you do not need to duplicate the 
  other files and can point to your same 
  sound files, etc
(e-less) will try to send my bio to you 
   soon e-with
(flamingo) send it to me too ... I 
   usually open another irc client
(anne) i hope this is not killing my 
  logs tho
(anne) flamingo, win95 you can connect 
  twice without a second client i thought
(flamingo) that will be interesting
-) [flamingo] VERSION
(e-less) I gues I will do the single 
   pixel too since Chris was phoney
(flamingo) how
(anne) ask shadrak
(flamingo) k
*** shadrak has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
) e-less, email chris and she will send 
  you information on it too
(flamingo) Shadrak, how do I open mirc 
   two times
) right now flamingo is using two mircs
(shadrak) Click on what ever icon you 
   used the first time.

(Tina) e-less, have you thought about 
   what topic you want to work on?
*** shadrak is now known as shadaway
(flamingo) anne, how do you know that I 
   am using mirc two times?
) tina just asked you e-less if you knew 
  which topic you wanted to work on
) i thought that it was you said 
  flamingo?
) what you said
(flamingo) I was on Sprychat and mirc
(e-less) choicces are govt, education 
   and what ?
(anne) tina, it looks like it did not 
  work for you to add shad's numbers 
  then?
(Tina) anne, oh yes it worked, I was 
   there but I left
(Tina) is everyone else there?
(Tina) just a sec I'll come back

   - I have plenty to do for rest of 
   week - can fill in wherver you want
*** Tina (tatyana@207.179.135.219) has 
left #societal
) that is fine e-less
) we all have sort of taken a break from 
  the other anyway to learn this
) anything that fits in with societal 
  issues
(flamingo) Wow, anne, it works. I'm on 
   mIRC twice.  :-)
) i wonder what will happen to the logs 
  tho
(Tatyana) hmmm 
(Tatyana) I don't know
) maybe we should have made the channel 
  societal2
(flamingo) lol
(e-less) ok - night all -btw - if you 
   need to reach me during the day  - 
   I'm at asteer@icao.org - otherwise I 
   won't get mail until evening when 
   it's too late for me to do anything 
   about it
(flamingo) I think that you will see a 
   different start time
) thanks eless
) except we have two logs going at once
(flamingo) e-less, do you want both of 
   your email address on our group list?
*** e-less has quit IRC (EOF From client)
(flamingo) Well all, I'm off to bed... 
   good night!
) we can call an irc meeting for this 
  weekend if need an extra
) nite flamingo, thanks

  buffnet on secret channel,
(flamingo) thanks anne for all of your 
   info

) and for yours too thanks
*** flamingo has quit IRC (Leaving)
(Tatyana) night everyone
) nite, thanks 
*** Tatyana (tatyana@stjhts16c21.nbnet.nb
.ca) has left #societal
(e-less) Well ok - but would it be too 
   much tto try to specifiy which is 
   which so I don't get inundated by 
   mail both places
) not sure what you mean e-less
) that if it is important only for the 
  day, that we send to you at work
) most of our info is not that critical 
  that you need it right away
) just which place you prefer to get the 
  email
*** Retrieving #societal channel info...
(e-less) yes please - but if only way 
   you can do is to send both places - 
   is ok too - prefer mail at home - too 
   much going on a work
*** anne sets mode: -s
(e-less) thanks anne - you're really 
   great at stating what needs to be 
   said clearly
(e-less) Night all
*** e-less has quit IRC (Connection 
reset by peer)
(ingo) what do we still need to do for 
   our page
(ingo) which server are we using - this 
   or irwin's
(anne) oh i am confused
(anne) chris and sal mite still come so 
  let's hold this open but use irwins 
  for main talk right now
(ingo) hwo come
(anne) did not know which one to check 
  that is all
(anne) see you at irwins
(ingo) Liz, are you still here
(Liz) i need to incorporate my distance 
   ed sites and sites pertaining to home 
   schooling
(Liz) i took off the buttons above the 
   table and used the image map at the 
   top and bottom
(ingo) I think I stayed out of those 
   areas
) oh i will have to look at it liz
(ingo) ok, i took them off at the top 
   and have the logo/ image bar at the 
   top
) there are two groups doing online 
  education so we do not want to 
  duplicate what they are doing
(ingo) I have not odne it at the bottom 
   - yet
) one of them is bracketeers, and can't 
  rem but another study group is doing 
  something like that too
) ingo and liz, were you thinking the 
  child/parent area and other factors on 
  education will be separate linked 
  article too 
) with what is there as an intro?
(Liz) it does play a role in the 
   continuing/life-long learning section
(ingo) we will always find 'duplication' 
   if we after all work all on the same 
   main theme
) oh i think we for sure want to cover it
) as a topic
(ingo) We still can make changes to the 
   write -up to incorporate another 
   paragraph
) k, then we will try to keep those in 
  the areas where they are now and just 
  expand
) there is lots we can say for special 
  needs too
) or just keep them more general to say 
  they are factors?
) each one could be a total web site in 
  itself
(ingo) right, the topic is so wide 
   ranged, it's the difficult job to 
   restrict nad set boundaries
Session Close: Mon Feb 10 22:23:13 1997

) the ones we end up being more 
  interested in or finding stuff can be 
  expanded
) liz, do not forget to close out your 
  channel from buffnet too
(ingo) Liz, I just looked at the links 
   in the description, ther you got 
   quite a bit more info, great
(ingo) Anne, buffnet is closed, Liz and 
   I left from there
(Liz) what would be a good limit on the 
   number of links?  I have more links, 
   but I don't want to be one of those 
   offenders that keep you scrolling 
   downward for days.  :-)
) hahahahaha liz
) which place are you talking about now 
  for links
(Liz) k-12.  i will probably re-organize 
   and move some of the info to 
   continuing/life-long education
) i would like to add more in the child 
  development and parent section
) if there are any links you have found 
  that should go there, i can write it 
  up and also add the asset chart 
  somewhere
) liz, will look at your k-12 stuff more 
  too
) we could add the heading as the link 
  for links for the factors too if we 
  just want to describe like you are 
  doing for k-12
) we did not really discuss how to 
  incorporate graphics in all of this 
  either
(Liz) i was going to ask if you wanted 
   to start a page (via link) for "child 
   upbringing and development
) ok i will try my hand at it
(Liz) do you plan on doing it in table 
   form?
(ingo) I would almost suggest to wait 
   for the next assignment and see what 
   else we need to add to our page
) that seems to be the best way to 
  organize it dont you think
) the next lesson outline is on 
  tables/frames/cgi etc
(Liz) do you want me to start it by 
   incorporating the existing 3 links?
(ingo) I have used tables for the to be 
   orgsanized  links, I still need to 
   work on the others
) ingo, yours to be organized are in 
  life long learning part then in a table
) i kind of like the articles themselves 
  the way links are included to, a 
  combination is nice
(ingo) life lon learning and jobs still 
   need to be schanged
(ingo) my accent again - changed
) hahaha
) liz, is your accent southern?
(Liz) yeah, from the northern region  
   :-) :-)
) i am on vacation next week, so 
  probably will not start the stuff til 
  next week if that is ok
(ingo) sure, I think we are up to date 
   with our assignment - more or less
) well you guys made it that way, not me 
  yet
) liz, let me try a table from scratch 
  so i learn how to do it
) and i will look at yours for inspiratio
  n as to how to do it
(Liz) no problem
) i should take the ones that are there 
  in the paragraph and put them in a 
  table with a description?
(Liz) yes, and place the link on "child 
   upbringing..."
) k good
) then keep adding as we find what we 
  think should go
(ingo) I see what you mean
(ingo) this way we can use all links 
   fitting to a topic
(Liz) right
*** shadaway changes topic to "The 
Education Team"
) what about if there is a specific 
  topic to expand and then include links 
  that relate in the discussion
) LOL shad
*** shadaway is now known as shadrak
) you getting ready to turn out the 
  lights????
(shadrak) No, I can leave it up all 
   night, but Liz has to get up at 4AM
(shadrak) EST
) groan, poor liz
(Liz) you got that RIGHT!
(ingo) don't complain - that way your'e 
   off work earlier :)
) shad, did you think of anything else 
  we should do
(Liz) as a matter of fact, my husband is 
   studying right beside me, and 
   complimenting me on my bags (under my 
   eyes)  :-)
(shadrak) I have to wake my wife at 
   @:30AM EST (she doesn't hear the 
   alarm).  She's leaving early to drive 
   down to our son's place.
) are you usually an early rise shad?
) r
(shadrak) I was skimming what you were 
   saying and it occurred to me that 
   what we put on our pages and what we 
   learn (and do for homewaor) are not 
   necessarily the same.  Our pages 
   should contain what we think is 
   right, not what Ghatten and Leapin 
   want to do.  For example I don't plan 
   to ever use CGI or even learn how to 
   code in Perl.
) and they said that we only needed to 
  have an understanding and consider it
) they do not expect that we would learn 
  java either, except for chris and 
  shadrak
(shadrak) My body wakes me 5-6 hours 
   after I go to bed.  I have a spastic 
   colon that doesn't seem to like being 
   horizontal.
(shadrak) Gotta get back to that someday.
) anyway, i think what ingo and liz have 
  written so far is interesting
(shadrak) Quite so.
(ingo) thanx
(Liz) i think it needs a little more 
   "juice"
) and that is the paright
) we will juice it up
(shadrak) OJ again?
(Liz) i keep mulling over it trying to 
   add something
(Liz) shadrak, no he's broke
) each part may end up being something 
  you link to as they get bigger
(shadrak) I think it would be a good 
   idea if we reviewed each others work 
   and made critical comment.  Maybe 
   need to wait a bit till people are 
   ready.
(Liz) the foundation of the writing is 
   contributed to ingo
(Liz) is anyone ever ready for criticism?
   ??   :-)
(ingo) but i needed you guys to add, 
   edit and change
(shadrak) I'd like to see it for my 
   stuff now.  Don't promise to listen 
   to what anyone says.
) tee-hee shad
) is there a time in the evening i can 
  have to edit for the education page
(ingo) I just reviewed over 20 college 
   sites - interesting job.  May be we 
   should have someone from another
(ingo) group to give feedback
(ingo) sure, set the time
) doesn't really matter, just did not 
  want to bump into anyone
(Liz) bump all you want  :-)
(ingo) will we ever get feedback from 
   any of out faculty on what we produced
) we can always go back and fix it
) ingo, they just always say it is great
(ingo) helps :(
) we need to ask them a specific 
  question if we want feedback
) our group is really the best feedback
(ingo) may be we should suggest peer 
   evaluation
) and then those that did not know what 
  we were doing to see if it makes sense 
  is good too
(Liz) that sounds good
) flamingo is showing hers to folks she 
  works with for ideas and feedback too
(Liz) guys, i'm going to have to say 
   good nite.  I currently have one eye 
   open and the other is sure to close 
   when the clock strikes 11pm  ;-)
(shadrak) anne, I'm reading my mail now. 
    Do you plan to put all thos new URLs 
   on your site?
(shadrak) nite liz
) thanks liz, i will pick 8pm to edit if 
  that is ok with you guys
(ingo) nite liz
(Liz) that's fine
(ingo) sure
) shad, my page is so long i have not 
  been adding to it
*** Liz (locuse@customs310.ipass.net) 
has left #societal
) and i figure leapin is putting them in 
  her html library
(shadrak) K  I'll save your letter
(ingo) I think it's time for me to hit 
   the pillws as well,
) oh wait, i cannot do 8pm as that is my 
  other editing
(ingo) nite all
) i will do 9pm instead
(ingo) ok, I'm easy
(shadrak) nite ingo
) and maybe some when i get home from 
  work
) that is great
) nite guys
) thanks for the server shad
