<Troi-> thanks Carol.. I have already put about 17 pages on my office web page.. and will probably put about another 12 more.. at least.
<Sweetcake> busy gal!
<Troi-> LOL yeah... getting computer strained eyes.. LOL
<Who_log> take care all...and be kind in my absence
<Counselor> See ya who
<Troi-> but I love it.. Its like figguring out a big puzzle and putting it all together.. then sitting back and being pleased with the results.. :)
<Troi-> bye Who!
<JerseyL> bye
<Sweetcake> Ok, I will be following behind you in a few minutes, have to pick my daughter up from dance, but will only be gone for a couple of minutes.
<Troi-> k
<JerseyL> Do we have any business to take care of tonight?
<Who_log> 13one Q before I go ... couple of people have been orphaned and are looking for new groups...do we want or need any new blood?...discuss it and i'll check the log when i get back
Troi- changes topic to "Study group meeting in session"
Troi- sets mode: +t 
<Sweetcake> not really, just make sure that #4 & #5 get posted before Sunday night.
<Troi-> Jersey.. I was just going to ask that.. :)
<Counselor> Well, I'm pretty much caught up on my mail, but I've not had a chance to read the logs.  What did I miss in the meetings?  Anything we need to do tonight?
<Troi-> Sorry I didnt make Tuesdays meeting.. but I did read the log the next morning.
<Sweetcake> I think Paul volunteered to do #4 since he was out sick and did not participate in the graphics part and Steve is responcible for #5. We just have to make sure they get it done before Sunday night.
<Counselor> Steve has a page up, have you seen it?
<Troi-> well, yeah.. but I think "they" have to make sure they get them up.. :)
<Sweetcake> I think everyone has turned in the surveys except for Geetha I believe.
<Sweetcake> Yes, he needs to link it to the homework page though so the instructors can find it!
<Troi-> cool.. where are the surveys going to be posted... under what Heading?
<Sweetcake> Not sure , I forgot but who is doing it but they are going to combine them onto one page and link it somehow to our main page.
<Counselor> That's a good question.  Have we discussed how our page should be designed?
<Sweetcake> will be back in 5 minutes, gotta run to the dance class..
<Counselor> Steve is doing the sureys
<Counselor> ok Carol
<Counselor> Has anyone tried out the new VU classrooms?
<JerseyL> no
<Troi-> nope.
<Counselor> I sent in a request...I guess I should go see how well it wroks...  :)
<Troi-> I guess I am just nice and comfortable with the way we hold our meetings now.. :)
<Counselor> works..that is
<JerseyL> I guess we'll get to see how it works on Sunday night.
<Counselor> I am too, but if I can keep doing what I'm doing there while allowing others to use browsers, it's ok with me.
<Counselor> Yeah, I plan to be there then.
<Counselor> If it doesn't work well for us, we'll come back here.
<Troi-> it's a deal... :)
<JerseyL> What about Steve's question about new people?
<Counselor> I didn't see that question...can you repeat it?
<JerseyL> It was his comment in purple--people are orphaned--do we want or need new blood?
<Troi-> hmmm.... we have lost alot of people.. but we only have 3 weeks left though
<Counselor> Ah, I don't see colors...it seems a little late to be adding people, but it really is up to the group.
<Troi-> I agree.. I think we are doing ok right now.. It would be kinda hard I think for someone to catch up to what we've done.. and get in our groove of doing things..
<JerseyL> I don't really think we need new people.  We seem to have finally gotten our act together.
<Counselor> Yeah, it seems with only 3 weeks left that it might be a bit difficult for someone to catch up and become a part of the group, but who knows for sure.
<Troi-> yeah.. who knows, but do we want others to get credit for all the work we have done over the last 5 weeks if they only just jump on board now?
<Counselor> That's a good point, too.
<Troi-> just an opinion
<Counselor> Honestly, I think the group is large enough.  Although the tasks are large, I think it might make it even more difficult to coordinate more people.
<JerseyL> It seems like the 3 of us feel the same way.
<Troi-> Oh Jeff,, I did talk to my office about making all their pages accesible and into having text only versions of their page with graphics also.. they thought it was a great idea.. I thank you so much for giving that information to us. :)
<JerseyL> Jeff, I don't know if you noticed, but I have a text only jpeg vs. gif.
<Counselor> Hey, no problem...you might be surprised how many visually impaired folks there are utilizing computers.
<Troi-> Yeah.. it was never something I really realized before.. but now I think more about who can access the pages.. :)
<Counselor> Yeah, Linda, I took a look at your page and was pleased to be able to view it...  :)
<Counselor> It is a benefit to *any* business to include as many potential customers as possbile.
<Troi-> Yes I agree Jeff.. and my office does too..thank goodnes.. :)
<Troi-> anyone have any idea on what the next lesson will involve?
<Counselor> Not other than what was stated in the message from the instructors this week.
<JerseyL> Tables, frames, and forms.
<Sweetcake> I'm back!!!
<Counselor> I sure hope they give us a litle instruction this time...  =)
<Troi-> cool... 
<Troi-> LOL Jeff
<JerseyL> definitely
<Counselor> Well, I wonder if anyone else is going to show up tonight?
<JerseyL> Pattie--how long did it take you to do your stars?
<Sweetcake> You can use MIRC or PIRCH and access www.zia.com port:6667 you do not have to access the room from the web page.
<Troi-> well, the first time took about 3 hours because I was figguring out how to do it and learn the software.. then it took only about 45 min the second time... from start to finish... but I am sure I could do it faster now..
<Counselor> Yeah, sweetcake, that's what I plan to do...  :)
<Troi-> yeah.. me too
<Sweetcake> I am scrolling back and answering old questions, we are down to 10 people and those 10 people are all working together and we seem to have our group dynamics all worked out so I think we should not add any new people to our group.
<Counselor> It sounds like we're in agreement,then.
<Troi-> yes.. we should keep the group as it stands now..
<Sweetcake> I am going to access it with PIRCH the java thing although a nice bridge seems to be rather slow, but for those without clients it is better than nothing!
<Sweetcake> If we get to move over to www.zia.com for our study group GEETHA says that she will be able to participate in our IRC meetings.
<Counselor> Well, if we don't have any other business tonight, I think I'll get back to fine tuuning my Windows95
<Sweetcake> how's it going Jeff?
<Troi-> Hey.. I have a question.. Does anyone know how to change the font style on a web page.. without using the headers or graphical text?
<JerseyL> no
<Sweetcake> me neither.
<Troi-> Maybe it is a question I should put to Ghatten and Leapin at the meeting on Sun..
<Counselor> You use the fonte tag
<Troi-> the fonte tag?
<Counselor> I'm not sure of the spelling...actually, I read about it from class 821
<Counselor> I can go back and find the info if you want.
<Troi-> hmmm.. it is only because someone at work wants.. the avante style text.. or some other text than what is showed.
<Troi-> yes.. Jeff if you could find me that info, I would be grateful.. :)
<Sweetcake> Let us all know!
<Counselor> Ok, I'll go extract it from my lessons from last semester and email it to you.  If you don't hear form me in a couple of dyas...write and remind me.  :)
<Sweetcake> How do you like Win95 so far Jeff? Have you installed any of the assecibilities options?
<Troi-> ok.. will do Jeff.. :) thanks
<JerseyL> I think I'm going to go.  I may not be around Sunday, it's my father's 80th birthday.  See you next week.
<Counselor> Well, I think I'm going to like it once I figure it all out.  Now, I need to learn how to set up program groups and hot keys with key strokes rather than using the mouse.  :)
<Troi-> well, if we don't have anything else, I need to FTP some web pages up to a friends server. ( I am working on another engineers page also.. :D )
<JerseyL> Good night.
<Counselor> I think we're done.
<Troi-> I may just find this a lucrative business.. once I learn more.. :)
<Sweetcake> I think you can assign hot keys to shortcuts.
JerseyL [roblin@morr01-nj-16.gti.net] has quit IRC (Leaving)
<Troi-> well, Goodnight then... Have a pleasant evening.. will see you all on Sunday then
<Troi-> bye
<Counselor> See ya...
Troi- [pdavis@usr5ip61.azstarnet.com] has left #Web-O-Crats
<Sweetcake> night
<Counselor> Sweetckae, do you know where the ini files are in Win95?
<Sweetcake> I am going to leave also.. we can just leave who logging! He will figure out that we are finished!
<Sweetcake> win.ini & sys.ini?
<Counselor> Yup...ok goodnight.
<Sweetcake> want me to check for you? It will only take a sec.
<Counselor> Well, actually, I need to know where netscape sotres it variables now in win95
<Sweetcake> netscape ? I'll check hold on a sec.
<Counselor> Sure..  in win3.1 I had a different .ini file for me and my wife.  I want to do the same thing in win995, but I can't find the .ini files.
<Sweetcake> Ok on my system it is c:\windows\netscape.ini
<Counselor> So, netscape does still use a .ini file...I didn't check the root directory.
<Counselor> Are you using the 16bit or 32 bit version of netscape?
<Sweetcake> Ok, sorry went to check, I use 32 bit version of Netscape navigator gold. 
<Counselor> Ok, that's what I installed.
<Counselor> version 3.01
<Sweetcake> system.ini and win.ini are in c:\windows also
<Counselor> Yeah, I knew about them, but I couldn't find where netscape was putting its ini file.
<Sweetcake> glad to help.
<Sweetcake> will let you go now, unless you have any more questions.
<Counselor> Well, I'm gonna go investigate some more...have a good evening.
<Sweetcake> you too!
