Bruce Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 I know its only early in the year but thought I would start the thread :-) Who's going to Blenheim for this years conference? Best of luck to Caryl and the Blenheim Club for this years event. Looking forward to it and catching up with everyne again, then of course there is the big one in 2004 in Vanuatu, at the moment there are about 12 people from Hawkes Bay saving madly for that one /Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 I'm going! :lol: We have some interesting things planned for you and yes, alcohol will be featured for those of you who remember the last wine tour here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted December 26, 2002 Report Share Posted December 26, 2002 conference ALREADY!!!!!! Would you plse post the dates and a sort of schedule ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 26, 2002 Report Share Posted December 26, 2002 The dates are on the main page under Events Goldie. We haven't got a schedule yet as it is too early for stuff to be confirmed. Basically the format is get-together Friday night. Guest speaker on Saturday morning followed by AGM. A few other things in the afternoon, depending on how long the AGM drags on for. Fun evening. Sunday is all fun activities with prizes and raffles (only a few raffles) and a visit to a winery or 2 (or 3). We hope to set up some computers and show everyone this site, how to access it, join a few more up to it, and have Cees run a session for those interested in becoming mods or admins for it. He will also show those interested how to use their club pages and update them etc. That's the plan anyway Perhaps at some stage over the weekend we can arrange a time to be on-line and see if we can break the 'most on-line at one time' record for this forum. We could post to those who belong to the board but are not FNZAS members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 I was envisioning us saying "Right, we will be on-line at 9am Saturday morning, such and such a date, NZ time" and seeing who joined us. I am not sure what the best time here would be to suit the northern hemisphere (or as much of it as possible). Anyone any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajbroome Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Cees... > I could probably setup a 'chat-room' for that one occasion as well. The UK Carnivorous Plant forum has just installed a 'chat' site. It seems to work well. Have a look at: http://www.cpukforum.co.uk/chatroom/index.php Talk to Andy ([email protected]) about how easy (or not) it was to do... Andrew.

It seems pretty easy to use from a 'chatting' perspective too so could be a good way to go. Later, Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will add that soon. Need to go through the script first and see how it works and where I can improve it etc.. I'm just testing it now. Is one room enough ??

Caryl Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Others I have seen have 2 or more. One for fish related chat and one for general chat. Is it difficult, or does it take up too much room? Perhaps an empty room or 2 where you could go if there were lots in the chat rom at once (hey, you never know!) and 2 or 3 wanted to continue their own conversation. Like private rooms.

Pegasus Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 There is an option in the codes you can input where you can have a one to one conversation without others seeing what is being said. Tried a few times, but the room is always empty... perhaps it's haunted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a PHP freak if you're interested ... running a forum/chat etc at http://www.mandrakeusers.org thought I might warn you that phpchat is REALLY heavy on the server, and you might be better to explore the options of starting an IRC bot instead. I have (actually someone else but it works with my site) a room at irc.openprojects.net #mub ... and I have found a nice little irc.cgi client ..... lot nicer on the server. I am also I'm pretty savvy with phpbb ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
