hahahahaha .. if only there was a way of letting others know we're there. I was here but visiting forums ..do you have messenger you can drop me a line when you're there.

Post a time you want people to be there.

hahahaha

times is the difficulty .. as I'm away from home atm I will pop in throughout the day during down times. So for me thats any time between 7am and 11pm my time.

I was on the other day at 2pm and Av was here and it was 4am his time, I noticed when he was in the Chatbane. We live in different time zones, so if there were a "best range" or "preferred range" we could pop by during that time to see if anyone else is here.

Where I'm staying atm I have horses to agist every morning and dogs to feed and walk. That takes me about 2-2.5hrs .. The German Shorthaired Pointers, are show dogs and they have a lot of wriggles to get out as they're bigger dogs and there's two little scruffies (Scotch terriers) that are just happy hahahaha

Then we go out again in the afternoon before dinner time, and I check the horses and give them dinner. So I pop in between chores mostly unless I have to go into town for supplies - as I'm on a remote property. I do have to go into town about 5pm today (my time) for stock feed. Other than that I'm a free agent

As you guys are located all over the US you all have different time zones dont you? And Av is in SA - I notice he pops in at an ungodly hour his time (4am). And then there's Pete he's in the UK .. How do we sort a time that is good or ok for everyone?

I'll Google general time zones

Ok so right now .. its 9.30am 2 Feb here

Its after midnight, 12.30am in SA 2 Feb

Its between 1.30pm - 5.30pm, not counting Hawaii, US time 1 Feb

So Chatbane has me logged in at 8.30am now ... lol .. well its probably 8.30am somewhere in Australia lol ..

so we just need to add the number of hours from an agreed hour .. when we think we can pop by.

That sounds easy enough

It's a logistical nightmare! and I can see us getting there and then standing around awkwardly in corners like kids at a first dance!

No it wasn't, it was 7am.

Easiest way to coordinate is ignore local times and just work on GMT/UCT.

I'm usually onboard between 04h15 and 05h00 GMT.

Ok thats about 2pm EST. Try for tomorrow

I'll look in there at 4.30am tomorrow [Saturday]. It'd be a Watch first for me to find anyone in there!

Cool idea, guys!

I love this... I love realtime internet conversation.

When we had that Anniversary-of-the-Watch celebration day last year...
...I got to talk with StevieG and Shuram Gudatetris on Chatbane!
It was a different dynamic, and cool.

Awesome Linna Lets do this thing ..

Though I will say its not the best platform for meet and greets .. its a little clunky .. but if theres not to much lag we might get a meet greet going

Yesss... we will see how to get it to work...

and if nothing else, we can see what the last person on it said... I came on chatbane just awhile after "telephone book" time.

hahahahahaha .. yep that was just me shooting the breeze with me

It was really great chatting with you Linna!! Definitely do it again and hopefully hook up with more Watchers. Cordy was great chatting to you too!!

I saw Pete flit in and flit back out .. but didn't get to say howdy pard'ner as he was too quick off the mark.

I stay logged on but as I have to do stuff - I leave and return when stuff gets done I take a peek throughout the time I'm logged on just to see if there has been any action

Mostly there is not a lot going on .. so I amuse myself talking to one of the most entertaining person I know

cos like what else am I supposed to do ..

What I sorely need is a stiff drink

Skyweir and I have had some good success with this chat program (Chatbane) over the weekend.
It -is- laggy, but there's still good spontaneity to the conversations!

We would like to suggest this time for Watcher Chat:
Monday, 21:30-22:30 GMT

One thing I learned about organizing times for people to get together* is that it's hard to get a perfect time for everybody.
So just consider this another trial run - but I will be there!


* I once was told that a group of friends + me "couldn't organize ourselves out of a paper bag"! That wasn't very flattering!
I like to think I got better since then.

For people in Australia...
(*cough* *cough* which DOES exist)
...I just noted... it looks like that will be your Tuesday morning... so yeah, I was talking about your Tuesday all along, Sky!

Hope to see as many as want to or are able to pop by

In the sentiment of the great and fearless .. you know who you are



Be there or be X2

This took forever to pull off ... its the closest I could get

That random thing Linna just said about date and timing

LOL .. well yes, ... of course *cough* ... I absolutely knew that ... umm .. just have to pop out and recite the alphabet to myself some .. bbs...



I will NOT be visiting the chatbane till Tuesday .. which time I knew all along *choke* ... yup ... .... all along




No no flies on moi *swats mercilessly*

Oh, I wish we could do quoting each-other like this all the time!

I am right there with ya!
I -definitely- was thinking the correct thing about which day it was all along... (whichever day that was!)
...as evidenced by the fact that post noting it was made -only- about 8 hours after the other one... *nods to herself*


...
..
umm, okay, I admit I only thought of it when I woke up in the morning!
