I'll be in #loisclark tomorrow between roughly 10pm till midnight (maybe earlier, maybe later, who can tell, but definitely between those times  ). That's UK time - sorry, not sure what that would be elsewhere in the world. Hoping some of you can join me for a chat! Looking forward to it.  LabRat

Hmmm, if you are in the same time zone as London... then that would be roughly about 3-5pm PST for the US folks: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=136 (to judge when it is for you). This means sadly I won't be there. I don't get off work until 5pm. But I'll jump on after that to see if anyone is still around. ^_^

That's about 4-6 pm here, and I won't be home yet!  Too bad, but maybe I'll see you in there some other time!

10 pm British time would usually be 5pm Eastern - we're GMT-5. However, because the US and Canada moved to summer time this weekend and the UK won't move for another few weeks, at present we're GMT -4, so 10pm in the UK is 6pm for us. LabRat will therefore be in IRC from 6-8pm EST. Wendy

Thanks, Wendy.  I didn't think this timeline would be problematic for anyone in the US because before - when I was in irc chatting regularly - we had a good mix of US and UK FoLCs chatting from 8pm till midnight (and beyond), UK time. I recall that we often had US FoLCs chatting who would say that they were heading home from work (obviously chatting at work) who would then leave the channel and return about an hour or so later (chatting from home). So that timeline we used to work with must have straddled US end of work times at some point. 8pm these days is a little early for me. But I can certainly stay on later than midnight if I'm having fun. So do pop in anyway, when you can. You never know - some of us might still be around.  And once we get chatting on irc regularly, it won't take long to work out the optimum time for US and UK FoLCs to fit together. LabRat

I'll do my best to drop by! I haven't been on irc in quite a while and I miss the fun there! Kae

If it's 6-8 EST, I'll be there. (unless my saying so actually makes people flee, in which case, I didn't say anything *lol*)

Good idea, Labby! I've been thinking we should schedule a time for people to try to pop in, since it's been so quiet lately and all of us popping in randomly isn't really working <g>. I have tutoring tomorrow afternoon, but I'll try to be there afterwards If not, maybe next week?

I haven't been on irc in so long, I've probably forgotten how [g]. But if everyone's trying to be there, I'll try, too - probably around 6:30, 7ish EST. Tracey

Yay - that's the spirit! Getting quite excited, now. Don't see why not. I don't think I'll get back to spending every night in irc from 8pm to midnight, but two or three times a week would be cool. And the good thing about not having to get up for work next morning and having a firefighter husband who works overnight two nights a week, means that at least a couple of times a week I can continue chatting into the small hours of the morning quite happily. So one way or another, I'm sure we can find a convenient time to suit. LabRat

Let's see... I'm in Australia (GMT+10) except we're on daylight savings so it's really GMT+11 so... 9-11am on Wednesday for me. ugh, I won't be home. And I don't have an IRC program anyway...

Okay - so that means I need to DL mIRC sometime today and try desperately to remember how to log on etc... Maybe I'll have to try long before Rat gets there so that I can email someone desperately searching for help before it's too late . Carol

I think I should log in now. Who knows who's there already? *g* I'm a little nervous, though, since I've never been on IRC before.

I'll still be at work when you all begin the chat on IRC and I absolutely have to go by the grocery store on my way home.
Let's see - I'm in CST which would be the 5:00 to 7:00 range. If I hurry at the grocery store, I could make it home by 6:00... possibly... maybe...
So maybe I can still catch the tail end of it! I'll see you all there if I can make it!

I'm currently still at work, and then I've got to stop by a sport/bait shop to get my bow re-strung, then I can go home and get some dinner while I wait for my sister to come over (she wants me to beta a chapter of her first fanfic--a BtVS story--for her). Then after that, I've got a couple of ladies from church coming over for a little while. So I'm definitely going to have to miss the IRC chat.

Wishing my computer was working is where I am.
I think, therefore, I get bananas.
When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.
What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.
