  are hooking up neighborhoods with 
  puters
(anne) this one is in a low income area
(sal) hmmm...sounds good...
(sal) just sent frogz an animated 
   dancing frog...
(anne) and that special grant project

  Indians, Alasaka, and am reading where

*** flamingo (flamingo@ad51-145.compuserv
e.com) has joined #societal
(anne) sal, for some reason all my 
  commands lag
(anne) hi flamingo
*** sal sets mode: +o flamingo
(sal) hi, cynthia...
(flamingo) Hi Everyone!
(anne) it mite just be the hen house 
  tonight
(Tina) hi
(sal) brb...dryer honked at me...
(anne) ingo had a prior committment and 
  wonder if shad got back
(Liz) cluck cluck
(anne) hahahaha
(flamingo) I haven't gotten the lesson 
   yet
(anne) and it was not posted at VU either
(anne) bet they are behind with mailings 
  as the calendar is not here either
(Tina) I just checked the university... 
   the lessons aren't out yet
* anne is glad she does not have another 
  challenge to read that she does not 
  understand the first time thru ;)
(anne) I think I needed the Intermediate 
  class instead of jumping to Advanced
-) [anne] PING
(anne) am not getting a ping
(flamingo) Why does the HTML Validator 
   say that this tag has a problem... 
   (hr size=3 width=75%)
(Tina) because the validators don't like 
   the %
(flamingo) BTW, it works
(Tina) to get around that put it in 
   quotes
(Tina) like size="3" width="75%"
(flamingo) ok
(flamingo) thanks
(anne) right 
(Tina) welcome
(anne) it is amazing what does work
(anne) even when folks do not end a body 
  and html tag it works
(flamingo) I've tried so many different 
   things trying to fix that tag
(anne) my ping was 1 min 32 secs ;(
(sal) back
(flamingo) Also, the validator doesn't 
   like that I have the (B) tag at the 
   top of my page and the (/B) at the 
   bottom. Why?
(anne) hmmmm, i found sometimes i had to 
  set it separately for different things 
  to show up
(Tina) don't know
(flamingo) It is weird.
(flamingo) I've always done my pages 
   this way.
*** e-less (~ann@pm03-01.aei.ca) has 
joined #societal
(anne) try that gentler kinder validator 
  tina said and it will give you reasons 
  why it shows up flamingo
(anne) hi e-less
(sal) hi, eless
(e-less) hello everyone
(flamingo) Hi e-less
(anne) i had (H3) in a DList and it said 
  it did not like trying to use that as 
  a font formatting device
(flamingo) Anne, the reasons don't go 
   with it though
(anne) hmm, for one of them it did
(anne) i found one that referenced to 
  you a document that explained it, had 
  an error link as to why right at the 
  spot
(flamingo) Also, I have tried 4 
   different validators and get 
   different errors in each one
(anne) oh that always happens
(anne) DR HTML is the easiest one just 
  to make sure everything matches
(flamingo) Is there an off line 
   validator that I can download?
(sal) that is a really interesting thing 
   about the validators...even they 
   can't decide what works...
(Tina) brb
(anne) flamingo, there is one reference 
  to one on my webpage
*** Tina has quit IRC (My mind isn't 
always in the gutter... sometimes it 
comes out to feed.)
(sal) i think there is, but can't 
   remember the name...
(anne) it is at the end of the validators
   under Extras on my homepage
(flamingo) It is a pain to have to 
   upload a page and then fix it and 
   upload again
(flamingo) Thanks anne
(anne) i cannot do any irc commands 
  hardly
(sal) that's why i like geo so much...
*** anne changes topic to "Let's Set the 
Table"
(flamingo) I'm trying to clean up all of 
   the link pages that I have completed
(anne) good idea before you forget what 
  the heck you did
(e-less) hahahah-argh
(anne) tee-hee
(flamingo) I think that our pages will 
   be checked to see if they make it 
   through a validator... they have 
   talked a lot about this
(e-less) the last one is it!
(anne) at least we have four weeks to 
  finish everything
(anne) hahaha, sure e-less
(flamingo) I'm glad about that anne
(flamingo) More time is needed
*** anne sets mode: +o e-less
(anne) now it is working
(flamingo) I have so much fine tuning 
   that I want to do to the Teen pages
(e-less) it was awful - to discover that 
   the whole thing vhnaged again once it 
   was up in geociites
(anne) i wonder what that 828 is and was 
  surprised ghatten did not know 
  anything about it
(anne) e-less, what editor do you use?
(flamingo) Anne, did you see that there 
   isn't a teacher for that class?
(anne) says staff
(sal) probably richard...
(e-less) now I'm trying to use front 
   page - it has a good interface 
(flamingo) I think that you are right sal
(sal) no, me either, anne...i figure it 
   will end up being something for 
   vu...did you read the description 
   well?
(anne) liz, talked to ingo last night, 
  and we need to meet on irc soon for 
  our page
(flamingo) I'm still not sure about 828
(anne) yes, sal, that is what i thought 
  after i read it
*** ingo (a066@dialup2.lambton.on.ca) 
has joined #societal
(anne) hi ingo
(flamingo) I think that you are right sal
(ingo) Hi guys
(sal) hi, ingo
*** sal sets mode: +o ingo
(flamingo) Hi Ingo
(e-less) hi guy 
(anne) i think i might unsubscribe 
  myself from 828 if it is not what we 
  want to do
*** anne sets mode: +o ingo
(flamingo) without the flam
(flamingo) Anne, do you think that we 
   could get more info on 828
(anne) oh just realized what you meant 
  flam ;)
(flamingo) lol
(flamingo) Ingo does that to me all of 
   the time
(anne) guess we could right to Richard 
  haaha
(anne) write
(flamingo) I really don't want to do a 
   page for Vu
(anne) me either
(sal) hahaha...gee...last time i wrote 
   him he ignored it
(flamingo) I would like to continue with 
   the ideas and thoughts that we have 
   been working on for months now
(anne) we could still continue informally
   as a group if people are interested 
  and add info from whatever class we 
  all take
(ingo) well flam why not - is a lot 
   faster and I know how to write the 
   rest of the name - don't over use it 
   :)
(anne) i agree with you flamingo
(flamingo) Ingo: lol
(sal) y'all feel free to fill my slot...
(anne) and infosources is not done yet 
  either
(anne) hahahahaha sal
(anne) as if you ever used it lol
(anne) oh i was talking about editing 
  schedule
(ingo) what did I miss -looks like you 
   decide - undecide to take 828, right
(flamingo) I think that I will take the 
   graphics class and if 828 is what I 
   want (big if) I will take that 
(sal) hahaha
(anne) doesn't hurt to keep signed up 
  and see what comes
(sal) in the group, anne, in the group...
(anne) i know i see that now sal
(flamingo) Like I told you anne, I don't 
   want to have a bunch of unfinished 
   sites and move onto something new
(anne) me either
(anne) i am just now getting started
(anne) liz, when is your distance ed 
  class finished?
(sal) that's what bugs me about 
   infosources...
(anne) right sal, we still did not do 
  the search engine
(flamingo) I think that the biggest 
   negative with 825 is that the focus 
   ended up being learning coding and 
   had little to do with content.
(sal) it's not nearly finished...and 
   here i am doing something else...
(ingo) why not 'audit' the course to get 
   the information 
(anne) good idea ingo, that is what i 
  thought about too,
(ingo) and use it on our existing sites
(anne) except we mite not get that much 
  info
(flamingo) Does VU really have an Audit 
   status?
(Liz) flamingo, I'm taking a graduate 
   course and the opposite is true.
(anne) but i figure we learn a lot just 
  by trying
(anne) flamingo, i took two other 
  classes and just read the lessons, 
  have some i never got too
(Liz) The focus is on content, and 
   coding is at a minimum
(anne) i did not ever participate
(flamingo) Liz, I would like to see 
   something in the middle
(sal) right, flamingo...i don't feel 
   that i have learned anything from 
   this blooming course that i couldn't 
   have worked out on my own with 
   existing stuff on the web...it just 
   wasn't what i was hoping for...there 
   was so little content...
(ingo) don't know - but as there is no 
   certification involved there should 
   be no problem
(Liz) April  :-(
(anne) woops, tina never came back
(anne) i heard from alexis who taught a 
  webpage class a year ago when i 
  started at SVU...
*** ck (~emeraldCi@ts3-193.pacific.net) 
has joined #societal
(sal) oh, neat, anne...
(sal) hi, chris
(ck) hi everyone
*** sal sets mode: +o ck
*** Tina (tatyana@stjhts15c02.nbnet.nb.ca
) has joined #societal
(Tina) re
*** sal sets mode: +o Tina
(anne) a small part of it was on html 
  and webpages, she said she would teach 
  the class the same way, but...
(ck) hi Tina, how was the move
(anne) and html beginning, Intermediate, 
  Advanced
(ingo) Hi chris / tina
(anne) hi ck and wb tina
(flamingo) Anne, I think that you are 
   right... So I guess I should sign up 
   for 828 and do what I want with it
(Tina) it was gook, almost unpacked
(Tina) hi ingo
(anne) i did sign up for graphics too tho
(Tina) from reading about 828.... I 
   don't think everyone who signs up for 
   it will be on the course
(Tina) to me it sounded like they're 
   going to go through all the applicatio
   ns and pick out the people they want 
   for the course
(flamingo) I would like to see our group 
   continue working on our pages and add 
   some more content... What do you all 
   think?
(anne) oh really
* anne seconds flamingo's suggestion
(ck) my page has no content (heehee)
(anne) you should see all the content 
  flamingo has, it is very impressive
(sal) i'm outta here...i don't particular
   ly like the direction of this 
   project...it just wasn't what i had 
   in mind...
(flamingo) Oooo Chris, sure you do....
(sal) so i won't be continuing
(anne) k sal, sorry about that
(anne) but we still need to do infosource
  s too
(anne) and keep the study group for that
(anne) we still need the short paragraph 
  on the main page too
(anne) wonder what shadrak is planning 
  to do
-) [anne] PING
(anne) no ping response yet ;(
(anne) brb
(Tina) what
*** anne has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
(flamingo) whoops, there goes anne
(sal) yep...
(Tina) sal, what did you have in mind?
(ingo) I think we could create our own
'projects' and work on them
together if we 
   want
(flamingo) I have put a lot of time into my
pages and want to put more
time into   them.
(sal) don't really think it matters now, tina...
(Liz) I would like that to continue working
on it, but I won't be taking any VU 
courses next term.  Plate is too full.
(ck) What really matters is that I learned a lot
(ck) I never got a schedule for next
semester, where do you find about
the classes?
(sal) that's good...i just felt pressure the whole time
(Tina) ck, you can find out at VU
(ingo) I got it from horizons.com
(ck) thanks Tina
(ingo) did anybody of you get the 'new assignment' yet
(flamingo) I was ok about the amount of work and
enjoy learning lots of
new things but would like to finish my pages
(Tina) no ingo
(ck) not me ingo
(flamingo) me either
(e-less) no - none nad I'm doing 2 others also - nada
(ingo) I checked on the VU page
and it was not posted yet
(flamingo) I haven't gotten anything 
from any of my classes either
(ingo) I think that's one of the problems of VU -
diorganized and lack of structure :(
(ingo) disorganized
(e-less) and their pages take forever to load
(sal) right, ingo
(ck) but it is free
(ingo) i know
(sal) that's true, and my grandfather always
said you get what you pay for!
(ck) If it hadn't been for VU,
I never would have met you all
(flamingo) I usually get my lessons by 12 noon
(ck) And I am really glad I learned 
about the transparent pixel gif ;)
(ingo) not quite -I guess we learned
from eachother quite a lot
(Liz) chris, it that a good thing???   :-)
(ck) definitely 
(ingo) and I dinn't want to miss
that part of the learning process
(flamingo) I've learned so much from
all of you.. and it was VU that
brought us together... I used to be all alone in this game
(ingo) didn't
(Tina) guess anne isn't coming back
(ck) Liz, I am really grateful for the
web pages you turned us on to.  I
had a lot  of fun with the graphics tip the other night
(Liz) great!
(flamingo) I love a good challenge and
each of you has helped me enjoy these 
  challenges.
(Liz) i bump into the resources because
of "on-the-job" learning
*** anne (ahartman@biras238.wwnet.com)
has joined #societal
(flamingo) wb anne
(anne) hi again
(flamingo) wb anne
(anne) hope i stick this time
(e-less) welcome back
(ck) And Ingo and Shad really pushed the 
   edge of the envelope, trying out the 
   challenges and showing us the way
(anne) any decisions made yet
*** flamingo sets mode: +o anne
(Tina) hi anne
(Liz) I find better interaction & 
   collaboration with you guys than with 
   my classmates in my grad course
(flamingo) I have really enjoy that 
   pushing too
(ck) I really enjoyed Tina's beautiful 
   artwork
(anne) ck you did too that challenges us 
  to learn
(flamingo) yes, chris... me too
(ingo) just take a bigger envelope the 
   next time - chris :) e.g legal size - 
   or make it a parcel
(Liz) I concur chris.  I was impressed.
(flamingo) Ingo: lol
(ck) rofl ingo
(ck) thanx anne
(anne) flamingo, can you send me the 
  missing first part for the log please
(flamingo) It is hard doing this stuff 
   alone... everyone has been really 
   good in helping each other out and 
   let the others know when something 
   needed to be fixed
(flamingo) sure, anne
(anne) thanks
(anne) i agree about the helping part 
  flamingo
(Tina) yes I learned about windows
(ck) I have to admint, becaus of AnnE 
   and Ann, I know everything I need to 
   know about tables (heehee)
(Tina) and got that javascript to work
(flamingo) Chris: lol
(anne) it seemed so simple when we 
  started didn't it
(ck) But I will NEVER EVER put a border 
   on my web pagee
(anne) hahahaha ck
(e-less) I'm still trying to catch up 
   with y'all
(anne) it seems to work best with small 
  borders that are decorate
(flamingo) Chris: I don't think I will 
   either
(ingo) why not, just don't write into 
   the lefy panel - or use frames :)
(anne) netscape 4 was the clinchy part 
  cause nothing showed right in it
* ingo hiding under a table
(flamingo) Ingo: Frames is the answer... 
   don't you think sal (ducking)  ;-)
(ck) rofl ingo
(anne) ingo, MSIE drives me nuts with 
  frames, you can not go back just one 
  frame!
(e-less) no - it's simple - pick a set # 
   of pixels and let teh rest float
(e-less) as long as it's less than 650 
   or so - should be fine
* ck throws a 10-ton table at flamingo
(anne) no it is still too wide for me 
  e-less
(flamingo) Chris: I just spewed on my 
   keyboard...
(e-less) no - Anne - can't be it's only 
   652 wide
(anne) 600 wide is best for me
(ingo) the resolution is 640 *480
(anne) and that is what most of the 
  tables i have looked at are set at 
  e-less
(ck) flamingo, I am glad to hear you 
   will continue working on your pages, 
   I bet they help out a lot of kids
(ingo) stay under 600 and your'e fine
(e-less) ok - I'll do it - but no - the 
   geocities was 63?
(ck) Remember that MSIE and Netscape 
   both offset tables (differently of 
   course), so have to allow for that as 
   well
(flamingo) Chris: I have a vision... 
   plus I hate to not finish things... 
   it really bothers me
(anne) 630 yes, but the rest of the 
  table was 600
(e-less) and I never could get the "*" 
   to work
(anne) i think the trick is to write 
  about something you are really 
  interested in for a web page
(sal) RIGHT
(ingo) if you use more than 600 you will 
   get into left - right scrolling
(flamingo) Yes, anne
(ck) So true anne
(flamingo) I was glad that I stayed with 
   what I really wanted to do
(ck) My problem is that I couldn't come 
   up with more than just a link page
(anne) e-less, that only * only worked 
  when we had the single pixel,
(anne) it did not really do anything
(sal) folks, i need to go...
*** sal (~xxxx@anxp5.ob.centuryinter.net)
 has left #societal
(e-less) I thouhgt it was when you set 
   part as pixel and wanted to let the 
   rest float
(flamingo) whoops that was fast
* anne is not sure but seems like it 
  should have worked that way
(ck) I found the VU schedule at 
   http://www.vu.org/register.html
(ck) I will probably take The Beginner's 
   Graphic and Design Shop
(flamingo) Anne, do you know what 
   program they will be using for the 
   graphics course at VU?
(anne) sal and i are signed up for it too
(anne) flamingo, i don't know
(e-less) me too
(ck) Oh good!
(Tina) ck I'm taking that also
(anne) you don't want it to duplicate 
  your PSP one tho
(flamingo) I'm going to take that course 
   too
(anne) that will be fun if we all take 
  it too
(Tina) and I'm signed up for 828 but 
   don't know if I'll be picked for it
(flamingo) I have had lots of fun with 
   the PSP class
(ingo) am I the only one left in the dark
(ingo) :(
(ck) Liz, even tho you aren't taking 
   classes, I hope you stay in touch
(anne) ck, see if you think that 828 
  implies that you must be picked for it
(ck) Tina, you could teach that class
(Tina) ck lol I doubt it ;b
(Tina) I feel I got lots to learn :) but 
   thanks
* flamingo thinks that Tina could teach 
  the graphics class  :-)
(anne) i was already registered and it 
  accepted my registration for 828
(Tina) flamingo ;b lol
(ck) I don't see where it implies that 
   anne
(anne) i really did not think it is a 
  selected class
(Liz) chris, i'll keep in touch.
(Tina) hmm i must have read it wrong
(ingo) I think the internship is the 
   selceted group
(anne) liz, will you continue doing the 
  education page tho?
(ck) I hope so liz
(Liz) i will probably continue to email 
   more resources & tip sites as i find 
   them.
(flamingo) I think that anyone that was 
   in 825 can take 828 but it looks like 
   they will pick your project
(anne) oh they did say everyone would be 
  ASSIGNED a challenging project did not 
  it?
(Liz) anne, yes.
(anne) k great
(flamingo) yes, anne
(ingo) looks like it is a certificate 
   program with selection
(Liz) the page actually overlaps a 
   project i am doing in my other course.
(anne) singly or as part of a group
(ck) Oh, I didn't read the print 
   above....yes they say 'selected'
(anne) well, this group would for sure 
  be picked
(flamingo) anne, I think so too
* anne is going to withdraw her 
  application
(ingo) may be the certification is the 
   carrot
(ck) It is too much work for me, I will 
   stick to 'fun with graphics'
(flamingo) anne, which application???
(anne) my registration for the class 
  flamingo
(flamingo) k
(flamingo) I am on the fence post with 
   828
(anne) i really want to have fun and 
  learn the graphics too
(anne) flamingo, you should take it then 
  and see what happens
(flamingo) I am doing the graphic for 
   sure
(anne) it mite really help you complete 
  and enhance your teen pages as you 
  found nothing like it on the web
(anne) first project should be to design 
  a new splash page for SVU
(e-less) right on
(anne) i still want to know how you look 
  and find the graphics you use tina
(anne) like for your weather page
(flamingo) I still worry about taking on 
   too much... teaching full time during 
   the day.... teaching a class at 
   night... teaching with VU and a 
   family on top of that
(Tina) moi???
(anne) flamingo, that is full enuf 
  already
(anne) yes you tina
(ck) wow flamingo!
(Tina) well anne, I have various cd's of 
   clipart, stock photographs
(Tina) and use those
(Liz) flamingo, i thought my plate was 
   full
(Tina) sometimes I colorize the clipart 
   to something new
(Tina) add shadows
(Tina) and stuff
(flamingo) LOL, I love to be challenged 
   though
(anne) sounds good tina
(anne) does anyone know who started the 
  expression "full plate"
(ingo) nope
(Liz) no, anne
(anne) it's like all of a sudden 
  everyone was saying it
(anne) noticed it first with administrato
  rs in my school system
(flamingo) not sure anne... but it gets 
   the point across
(ck) didn't shad send something out 
   about that
(anne) it sure does
(Tina) if we get our lesson tomrrow when 
   do we want to have the next meeting
(ingo) must have been the beginning of 
   the 'all you can eat' times
(anne) hashahahaha
(ck) I am really having fun with 
   JavaScript
(Liz) lol
(flamingo) hehehe
(anne) next meeting anytime is fine with 
  me
(flamingo) me too
(ingo) I am 'still' flexible
* anne says no you are not, we still 
  have frames ingo ;)
(anne) hahahaha
(Liz) i'm flexible
(flamingo) hahahaha
(ck) lol anne
(ingo) well those frames are the new 
   flwxible adustible and other ble 
   frames, eh
(flamingo) Ingo: the frames look good
(ck) Anne, I really want to thank you 
   for keeping all our stuff together, 
   the logs and the homework links
(ingo) thanks flam
* anne admits if you gotta have frames, 
  they are ok
(anne) oh welcome chris
(anne) it helps me get organized, haha
(flamingo) Anne, you have done a lot of 
   work... thanks
(Tina) yes
(Tina) thanks anne.... it is a big job
(ingo) thank god you took that part on
(ck) There are 973 matches with 'full 
   plate' at altavista.com
(Liz) i must admit.  thanks to this 
   course and you guys, i have gotten my 
   first introduction to IRC.  We use 
   Netforum (discussion groups) to 
   communicate in my other course.
(ingo) I would have been lost without it
(anne) and e-less really organized our 
  discussions
(anne) oh that is great liz
(Liz) appreciate your hard work anne.   
   :)
(flamingo) What a group!  :-)
(anne) oh ck, just saw yours, that is

   Germany to finnland - 3 day ferry 
   journey
(e-less) well - I suppose I could put up 
   video clips of stuff
(flamingo) cool I loved living in Germany
(ingo) an all you can eat buffet - one 
   guy ate and ate and then packed 
   plastic bags with food to take along
(ingo) and short before the cash 
   register a waitress came with a glass 
   of buttermilk
(ingo) pouring it over the sandwitches 
   and saying - Sir, you 
(ingo) forgot you buttermilk

   lltime.com/notvictims/

(flamingo) Shad... oh no... hehehe
(shadrak) Jeez, 23 messages in Inbox!
(ck) shad, the university hasn't sent 
   the schedule yet
(shadrak) ok
(shadrak) so what did you decide tonite. 
    No more tables, right?
(anne) heehee shad
(e-less) couldn't we do something with 
   javascript in tables?
(ck) http://www.vu.org/register.html
(ck) NO MORE TABLES!
(anne) oh but is fun to use them when 
  you try to design and display graphics 
  in them i bet
(anne) just not side border tables
(anne) with text
(ck) oh, ok
(anne) ck, you gotta figure out a way to 
  link sal's first aid article to you 
  health page too
-) [anne] PING
(e-less) i've got to go now - thanks to 
   all of you for helping and being 
   patient with me - I really have 
   learned lots from all of you
(ck) later e-less
(anne) e-less, that is how we all learn 
  by trying stuff
(shadrak) nite Ann
(flamingo) Anne, Sal said that she is 
   out again... while you were off line
(anne) nite
(ingo) see yea
(anne) oh dear
(flamingo) seeya e-less
(ck) anne, first I gotta figure out what 
   to put on my health page
*** e-less has quit IRC (EOF From client)
(anne) she is gonna finish thru the 
  class tho isn't she
(anne) i thought she just meant not go 
  on next term like we talked about it
(ck) I think that is true anne
(Tina) anne, it didn't sound like it
(Tina) it soundled like she was gone 
   from now on
(anne) you mite be right tina
(flamingo) I think that she is... but 
   doesn't want to go on
(ck) Shad, where do you think the term 
   'full plate' came from?
(anne) ck, talk to her about health then
(flamingo) I'll send you the log and see 
   what you think
(anne) k will look
(anne) but think i did see her leave
(ck) Anyone got any ideas of what I can 
   do with the health page beside 
   publish links?
(ck) I think she is just not really 
   interested, which is ok.
(anne) i think it is good when you use 
  links to describe parts that you think 
  are good for what ck, 
(ck) Well take flamingo's pages for 
   example, they are more than just links
(anne) right
(flamingo) Chris go and read about all 
   of the links and write an abstract 
   about each
(anne) but you need experience with the 
  topic or have knowledge to really 
  write about something
(ingo) did you consider 'health and 
   wellness' on the workplace, chris
* anne is ready for another mental 
  health day, lol
*** chris2 (~emeraldCi@ts3-193.pacific.ne
t) has joined #societal
(chris2) OUCH!
(anne) there mite already be a place 
  that has abstracts of the sites i 
  wonder
*** ck has quit IRC (Connection reset by 
peer)

*** Tina (tatyana@stjhts15c02.nbnet.nb.ca
) has left #societal
(anne) shad, we need to set a nite to 
  meet after we get the next lesson
(chris2) From the time I commented on 
   Value Added I was gone-zoed
(anne) everyone seems pretty flexible 
  about when they can meet
(anne) flamingo) Chris go and read about 
  all of the links and write an abstract 
  about each
(anne) that was her suggestion
(chris2) oh thanks
(anne) (anne) there mite already be a 
  place that has abstracts of the sites 
  i wonder
(chris2) Yes there are lots of medical 
   pages with links and abstracts
(anne) and here comes ingo's
(ingo) did you consider 'health and 
   wellness' on the workplace, chris
(anne) (ingo) did you consider 'health 
  and wellness' on the workplace, chris
(anne) we have four weeks to figure it 
  all out
(chris2) oh, looks like I missed a lot, 
   thanks anne, for re-displaying it for 
   me
(anne) welcome
(anne) and i will post the log again too
(chris2) I hadn't thought about the 
   workplace
(anne) you will come up with something 
  when you get going on it again
(flamingo) Good night everyone.... It 
   has been great!!!
(chris2) nite flamingo
(ingo) see yea flam
(anne) if anyone finds something i 
  missed posting on 825.html links 
  please email me with it too
(chris2) Shad, did you see my questin 
   about full plate?
*** flamingo has quit IRC (Leaving)
(anne) nite flamingo
(shadrak) no
(chris2) do you know where the phrase 
   came from? someone commented on how 
   it is being used a lot, and we 
   wondered where it came from.
(shadrak) dunno
(chris2) well I had better go see the 
   hubby before he dis-owns me for 
   neglect
(chris2) have a nice night everyone
(shadrak) nite ck
(ingo) nit chris
*** chris2 has quit IRC (EOF From client)
(anne) woops missed saying nite again
(ingo) those guys are too fast tonight, 
   right
(anne) shadrak, it looks like you will 
  finally get some java challenges for 
  the next outline
(anne) it seems like everyone except for 
  sal wants to continue with our page 
  after class is done
(anne) what do you think?
(anne) hmmm , must be off catching up 
  with email
(ingo) Anne, is she quitting immediately 
   or afte the next four weeks
(ingo) didn't quite catch that
(shadrak) I have mixed reactions.  I 
   think it's a good idea from a group 
   perspective, but a bad idea for me 
   cause I don't feel like doing the 
   govt thing alone.
(anne) i will find out tonight at 
  buffnet if she comes back
(anne) tina and chris mite be right, 
  that she doesn't want to work on the 
  health page anymore
(anne) oh shad, i know what you mean by 
  that
(ingo) Shad, did e-less get in touch 
   with you about canadian government
(ingo) info
(shadrak) I'm still going over email.
(anne) we still have so much more to add 
  about education and i am interested in 
  it
(anne) anyway, i am for whatever way we 
  can still keep trying and learning 
  stuff
(ingo) we talked about it a week or two 
   ago, right anne
(anne) it doesn't really matter what we 
  do
(anne) yes, except e-less never sent me 
  the rest of the log where you talked 
  more about it or i would have posted it
(ingo) anne, I am talking about e-less 
   re government
(anne) i know
(shadrak) Which makes me curious...why 
   are we so concerned about the "final 
   report" in four weeks?
(anne) i only wrote what ghatten said 
  irwin
(anne) she just wants official notificati
  on that we are open for business
(anne) our group is the one who has kept 
  in the best touch apparently
(anne) others did not send, except for 
  first lesson, that it was done
(shadrak) I don't expect to be open for 
   business in four weeks on government.
(anne) and it does not need to be a 
  report shad
(anne) that is what we all feel
(shadrak) Just got long Email from 
   Fredrik.  Will forward it.
(ingo) guess everybody wants to finish 
   it let's set any time-line for our 
   own sake
(anne) but they won't know we are not 
  done
(anne) we have more content than a lot 
  of groups do already
(anne) oh thanks shad, looking forward 
  to it
(shadrak) How can you get content, with 
   all the stupid challenges?
(anne) right
(anne) that is why they want feedback on 
  the class and hope they take our 
  advice about it
(ingo) but those 'challenges' are more 
   or less over now
(anne) nope, more come this lesson ingo
(shadrak) I think the biggest problem is 
   that eight weeks is insufficient time.
(ingo) let's see what it is - I guess 
   we've tried to put 150% in each time
(anne) right and that is what we will 
  copy and paste in our evaluation to 
  them
(anne) and since most of the challenge 
  was stuff new to me, i still have not 
  done all the reading i should do to do 
  them
(anne) but learned from all of your 
  examples
(anne) and info sent, so that was great
(anne) got interesting email from misty 
  aka abunny
(anne) about their study group
(ingo) Have some more stuff to do for 
   tomorrow, so I'll see you guys later
(anne) nite ingo
(anne) thanks
(shadrak) you're welcome
(ingo) nite you two
*** ingo (a066@dialup2.lambton.on.ca) 
has left #societal
(anne) let me know what you think when 
  you have mulled it over
(anne) flamingo thinks that 828 class 
  mite be more to promote VU, and tina 
  thinks you have to be selected for it
(anne) i will have to re-read it
(anne) and sal for sure wants to get 
  back to infosources
(shadrak) If we want to continue 
   Societal and use it for 828, I think 
   we need additional people, especially 
   with sal leaving.
(anne) shad, it does not look like 828 
  will be a project that we can use 
  societal for
(anne) i think it sounds like something 
  different
(shadrak) I don't think I have the 
   energy for a new one:)
(anne) we just figured could use the 
  knowledge or info anyway we wanted to 
  do and do as we please if we do not 
  care for what is in store
(anne) i think we all agree on that
(anne) would like to finish what we 
  started with societal or information 
  sources
(shadrak) Was there any discussion of 
   what to do with the working page?
(anne) nope, think we just keep it
(anne) what did you have in mind
(anne) especially cause that met what we 
  needed for the first lesson shadrak
(anne) and has our bios and "mission" 
  statement on it
(shadrak) I think we have two "introducto
   ry pages" and that doesn't make sense 
   to me.
(anne) well, maybe we just need to name 
  it differently then
(anne) make a different title for it 
(shadrak) I think most of the stuff on 
   it really belongs on the main page;  
   it's what, why, how , and who.
(anne) or maybe replace the different 
  areas with just the summary of each 
  area by a different filename, then so 
  that links are from main page
(anne) maybe shorten up the paragraph 
  for the main page
(shadrak) I would buy that.  But one 
   link to a "working page" doesn't make 
   sense.
(anne) but should not that still be a 
  link to the who why what
(anne) maybe call it a different name 
  than working page
(anne) tina would make a new button when 
  we figure out what we want it to 
  contain
(shadrak) I think main page should have 
   separate links to who page, and what, 
   how why.  I.E., break up working page.
(anne) k that is find
(shadrak) also fine?
(anne) fine yes
(anne) once we get the lesson, we can 
  set a meeting and bring it up
* anne has grown fond of the working 
  page tho
(shadrak) k
(shadrak) You're accustomed to its 
   charms!
(anne) ;)
(shadrak) Well I gotta go now.
(anne) rememember the first was in 
  columns chris taught us about
(anne) me to shad
(anne) nite
(anne) glad you are back
(shadrak) nite
