09-30-101 14:01:43 <Walter> Big crowd today!
09-30-101 14:01:50 *** #WarpDoctor Mode change: +o Walter  by MADeCSPro
09-30-101 14:01:53 <Rat-Salad> no kidding
09-30-101 14:02:03 <Rat-Salad> hey Walter
09-30-101 14:02:04 <MADeCSPro> I was wondering if anyone else was showing up
09-30-101 14:02:19 <Walter> Everyone else out enjoying the sunshine?
09-30-101 14:02:41 <Walter> The weather's gorgeous here.
09-30-101 14:03:11 <Walter> Hi Mark, Rat-Salad
09-30-101 14:03:16 *** #WarpDoctor Mode change: +o MADeCSPro  by Rat-Salad
09-30-101 14:03:22 *** #WarpDoctor Mode change: +o Walter  by Rat-Salad
09-30-101 14:03:43 <Walter> This is going to be a very short meeting if more of the team leaders don't show up.
09-30-101 14:04:19 <Rat-Salad> I think Charles is working
09-30-101 14:07:29 <Walter> Mark, remember the problem Windows 95 used to have running on certain machines like the AMD-K6-2 that would cause it to crash right after it booted.  MS$ had to issue a patch for it.
09-30-101 14:07:37 *** lalcan (lalcan@132.248.113.64) has joined #WarpDoctor [14:07:37]
09-30-101 14:07:47 <Walter> Hi lalcan
09-30-101 14:07:51 <lalcan> hi! how are you doing?
09-30-101 14:08:42 <Walter> I have a headache, eCS is giving me the fits, and I'd rather be outside enjoying the sunshine. Other than that, I'm fine. :-)
09-30-101 14:09:23 <Rat-Salad> hey lalcan
09-30-101 14:09:33 <Rat-Salad> whats the problem with eCS Walter?
09-30-101 14:09:42 <lalcan> boy! now, that's a good use for a laptop, sitting in the sun :)
09-30-101 14:09:50 <lalcan> sure, maybe we can help :-)
09-30-101 14:10:26 <Rat-Salad> its chilly
09-30-101 14:10:49 <Walter> I can't get it to install on my main machine.  On my aux machine, it crashes after it boots unless I have the internal cache turned off.  Weird!
09-30-101 14:11:38 <Walter> Well, we really should get on the meeting.  If you want to help AFTER the meeting that would be great.
09-30-101 14:11:53 <lalcan> that cache stuff has given me some problems in some motherboards while in others i doesn't mind... right, let's get on with it..
09-30-101 14:12:16 <Walter> I hereby call this meeting of WarpDoctor to order.
09-30-101 14:12:48 <Walter> Sector's not here to take the log, but I've been recording since I arrived.
09-30-101 14:13:00 <Rat-Salad> good so thats covered
09-30-101 14:13:13 <Walter> That takes care of the first two items on the agenda!
09-30-101 14:13:52 <Rat-Salad> this is sad
09-30-101 14:13:53 <Walter> Agenda Item 3. Current Status of Web Site--Rat-Salad
09-30-101 14:14:13 <Walter> R-S: you're on.
09-30-101 14:14:30 <Rat-Salad> nothing to report this week, but I'd like to see more stuff come in
09-30-101 14:14:49 <Walter> What kind of stuff?
09-30-101 14:15:33 <Rat-Salad> I mean I'd like to see peope contribute information to add to the site
09-30-101 14:16:06 <Rat-Salad> also I've been thinking about the navigation icons on the site
09-30-101 14:16:16 <lalcan> what about them?
09-30-101 14:16:33 <Rat-Salad> been thinking about creating custom ones for each of the links
09-30-101 14:17:17 <Rat-Salad> but I'm afraid I'm not the greatest at creating original ones
09-30-101 14:17:43 <Rat-Salad> right now their the generic Warp 4 / WSeB url object icon
09-30-101 14:18:03 <Walter> R-S, would this be a good time to start working on the Focus on OS/2 articles?
09-30-101 14:18:55 <Rat-Salad> yes I believe it would be a good time
09-30-101 14:19:06 <Walter> Next week, I'll be somewhat involved with warpstock, but after that I should be abled to give you as much help as you need.
09-30-101 14:19:36 <Rat-Salad> ok.. that works
09-30-101 14:19:38 <lalcan> Perhaps we could search for new icons... why not try some of the eCS ones?
09-30-101 14:20:05 <Walter> Great.  What would be your idea of a good first step?
09-30-101 14:20:35 <Rat-Salad> I believe that your about.com articles being on the warpdoctor site would attract more attention to the project
09-30-101 14:21:10 <Walter> And my VOICE articles!
09-30-101 14:21:23 <Rat-Salad> yes.. those too :)
09-30-101 14:22:22 <Walter> Where should we start in your opinion?
09-30-101 14:22:47 <Rat-Salad> I think the about.com articles
09-30-101 14:23:00 <Rat-Salad> I know people miss os2.about.com
09-30-101 14:23:17 <Walter> I get emails almost every week.
09-30-101 14:23:36 <Rat-Salad> I'm not surprised
09-30-101 14:23:56 <Rat-Salad> have you told them the plans?
09-30-101 14:23:57 <lalcan> there is one phantom of about.com still in the web... 
09-30-101 14:24:40 <Walter> What/where's that?
09-30-101 14:25:22 <Walter> R-S: whose "them"?
09-30-101 14:25:26 <lalcan> sometimes i log in... the address is http://forums.about.com/n/main.asp?webtag=ab-os2&nav=start
09-30-101 14:26:27 <lalcan> the guide is named Holly Henry-Pilkington...
09-30-101 14:26:48 <Walter> I know: they haven't completely purged the forums.  That's probably because the forums are maintained by a separate company on their servers.
09-30-101 14:27:15 <Walter> HHP knows NOTHING about OS2.  It really bugs me!
09-30-101 14:27:29 <lalcan> but it's definetly not the same as the days when you were the guide...
09-30-101 14:27:54 <Walter> R-S: what "plans"?
09-30-101 14:28:11 <Rat-Salad> the plans to merge your articles into WD
09-30-101 14:28:21 <Walter> We've discussed this issue before on this forum, if that's what you mean.
09-30-101 14:29:28 <Walter> Our problem is how to do the conversion, which basically involves converting the links from ABOUT.COM to WD.
09-30-101 14:29:58 <Walter> I'll email you after this meeting, and we can go from there.
09-30-101 14:30:09 <Rat-Salad> ok.. sounds good to me
09-30-101 14:30:39 <Walter> Any further discussion about the web site?
09-30-101 14:30:48 <lalcan> another point about the site... the news page... maybe a link to the VOICE news...
09-30-101 14:31:27 <Walter> Not a bad idea.
09-30-101 14:31:29 <Rat-Salad> hmm almost forgot about the news page
09-30-101 14:32:13 <Rat-Salad> I agree.. I'm afraid the news page on WD would take too much time and energy to keep up with without volunteers to handle it
09-30-101 14:33:30 <lalcan> besides, the VOICE list has become the standard news distribution for OS/2 - eCS
09-30-101 14:33:55 <Rat-Salad> maybe I should remove the news link completely..
09-30-101 14:34:22 <lalcan> hey! the HCL could use that space ;)
09-30-101 14:35:37 <Rat-Salad> true hehe
09-30-101 14:35:37 <MADeCSPro> We need someone to have the news posts updated to HTML automatically
09-30-101 14:35:52 <MADeCSPro> MajorMajor has no such ability.
09-30-101 14:36:23 <Rat-Salad> would be nice
09-30-101 14:37:16 <MADeCSPro> It's on my list, but there is never time.  We need some more talented people to get involved.
09-30-101 14:41:06 <Walter> Let's move on.
09-30-101 14:41:31 <Rat-Salad> good idea
09-30-101 14:41:36 <Walter> Agenda Item 4: Current Status DB2-Longstaff
09-30-101 14:41:56 <Walter> Mark, do you have any info from Charles?
09-30-101 14:42:13 <Rat-Salad> LongStaff has been working all week
09-30-101 14:42:20 <MADeCSPro> No.  Haven't spoken to him in a couple weeks
09-30-101 14:42:30 <Walter> OK, thanks.
09-30-101 14:42:36  
09-30-101 14:42:42 <Rat-Salad> so has had no time to do anything with it
09-30-101 14:43:16 <Rat-Salad> and I'm not so inclinded to do anything on my own (my db2 knowlege is non-existant)
09-30-101 14:43:21 <Walter> Agenda Item 5: Current Status of Ceilidh discussion forum--Walter Metcalf
09-30-101 14:43:36 <Rat-Salad> hey thats you Walter
09-30-101 14:43:40 <Walter> Same as last week. <blush>
09-30-101 14:43:57 <Walter> I've been doing battle with eCS all week. :-(
09-30-101 14:44:26 <lalcan> we'll help you with that :-) it seems we're going to end pretty soon today :))
09-30-101 14:44:36 <Walter> Planning a major system upgrade, which will hopefully solve some of my problems.
09-30-101 14:44:49 <Walter> Lalcan, thanks.
09-30-101 14:44:56  
09-30-101 14:45:23 <lalcan> you're welcome !
09-30-101 14:45:37 <Walter> Agenda Item 6: Current Status of Compatible Hardware List--lalcan
09-30-101 14:45:43 <lalcan> i guess the next item is the HCL right? right :)
09-30-101 14:46:08 <lalcan> well... the fact is i been away from home the whole week and couldn't advance... i added a modem!
09-30-101 14:46:09 <Walter> Lalcan, you're on:
09-30-101 14:46:27 <lalcan> i can't access the os2voice.org ftp site from any windows machine :(
09-30-101 14:46:48 <lalcan> and unfortunately my clients won't allow me to install them eCS :-((
09-30-101 14:47:01 <Walter> That's terrible!!
09-30-101 14:47:18 <Rat-Salad> heh
09-30-101 14:47:25 <lalcan> so, this week there's no advance :( but this week i'll be home, so i expect to make a good advance...
09-30-101 14:47:27 <Walter> Why can't you access \VOICE from Windows?
09-30-101 14:47:45 <lalcan> well, it's strange, it says it doesn't have a dns!!
09-30-101 14:47:48 <Rat-Salad> thats a very good question
09-30-101 14:47:49 <Walter> Just curious. :-)
09-30-101 14:48:14 <lalcan> but i'm pretty sure it's a fault in the Win side... i mean, my eCS doesn't give any trouble accesing it...
09-30-101 14:48:16 <Rat-Salad> I'm actually in Windows this morning.. think ill try
09-30-101 14:48:26 <lalcan> please do it :)
09-30-101 14:48:46 <Rat-Salad> what FTP client were you using?
09-30-101 14:48:54 <lalcan> the natural one...
09-30-101 14:49:03 <Rat-Salad> ok DOS ftp
09-30-101 14:49:25 <lalcan> but i tried with CuteFTP, which i've used other times, and it didn't work either...
09-30-101 14:49:43 <lalcan> DOS ftp?
09-30-101 14:50:11 <Walter> Mark, do you know anything about this?
09-30-101 14:51:01 <Rat-Salad> 230 User hoss logged in.
09-30-101 14:51:03 <Rat-Salad> ftp>
09-30-101 14:51:28 <lalcan> mmmh... everyday i hate those WinXX machines more...
09-30-101 14:52:24 <lalcan> which version of windows do you use? i've tried from NT4 and Win98...!
09-30-101 14:52:48 <Rat-Salad> 98se
09-30-101 14:53:53 <lalcan> well... there goes my alibi...could it be a proxy setting from my company's lan?
09-30-101 14:54:34 <Walter> Definite possibility.
09-30-101 14:54:50 <lalcan> but i though all winXX access to internet is ruled by the control panel preferences... and that's ok...
09-30-101 14:55:08 <Walter> Could also be company firewall setting.
09-30-101 14:55:24 <lalcan> anyway, this week i'll update as much as i can... btw i added a blinking effect to the updated menus...
09-30-101 14:55:43 <MADeCSPro> I only run OS/2-eCS and have no problems.  i don't see why windoze would have a problem.
09-30-101 14:55:43 <lalcan> but i don't know if it's annoying...
09-30-101 14:56:38 <Walter> Any further discussion?
09-30-101 14:56:46 <Rat-Salad> its probably the firewall.. hmm could try connect to another ftp site to test that idea
09-30-101 14:57:25 *** _Digi_ (~me@63.230.14.221) has joined #warpdoctor [14:57:25]
09-30-101 14:57:34 <_Digi_> here
09-30-101 14:58:03 <lalcan> ok, i'll give it a try...
09-30-101 14:58:25 <Walter> Hi Digi:  we're sort of at the end of our meeting. :-)
09-30-101 14:58:45 <Walter> Almost, anyway. :-)
09-30-101 14:59:08 <_Digi_> Ah.  OH well, that what I get for being late :)
09-30-101 14:59:42 <Walter> Do you have anything you want to contribute?
09-30-101 14:59:43 <_Digi_> Walter take a look at http://www.utahsdixieonline.com/xtest.shtml
09-30-101 15:01:40 <Rat-Salad> hehe this is hardly the time to get opinions on web design
09-30-101 15:02:04 <_Digi_> Why?
09-30-101 15:02:18 <_Digi_> What happened that I am unware of?
09-30-101 15:03:42 <Rat-Salad> I'm sorry.. that was kinda rude of me, we were discussing the WarpDoctor project (but uhh where did everyone go?)
09-30-101 15:04:27 <_Digi_> :P
09-30-101 15:05:01 <lalcan> i guess we've covered most of the agenda's items...
09-30-101 15:05:19 <Walter> We're still here, Rat-Salad. :-)
09-30-101 15:06:08 <Walter> If there's no further ON TOPIC discussion, I'll entertain a motion for adjournment.
09-30-101 15:07:13 <Rat-Salad> I suppose thats all for today
09-30-101 15:08:44 <lalcan> i'll second the motion!

09-30-101 15:09:51 *Rat-Salad* don't take off
09-30-101 15:10:07 *Rat-Salad* I think you and I should chat about the about.com articles
09-30-101 15:10:14 <Walter> OK.
09-30-101 15:10:39 <Walter> Let me a Sprite first. :-)
09-30-101 15:10:58 *Rat-Salad* this is a private message btw :)
09-30-101 15:13:13 <Walter> *Rat-Salad* Right. I didn't notice that.
09-30-101 15:13:27 *Rat-Salad* :)
09-30-101 15:13:40 *Rat-Salad* it's ok.. IRC is something that you have to get used to
09-30-101 15:13:50 <Walter> *Rat-Salad* I would like to go into a private chat room.  How do you set that up?
09-30-101 15:14:21 <Walter> *Rat-Salad* The BOD did that once before with me, but I don't know how they set it up?
09-30-101 15:14:30 *Rat-Salad* just join it.. /join #desired_room_name
09-30-101 15:15:08 <Walter> *Rat-Salad* Do we need a password?
09-30-101 15:15:17 *Rat-Salad* no
09-30-101 15:15:29 *Rat-Salad* we'll set it +s once were in
09-30-101 15:15:45 *Rat-Salad* that'll keep anyone from seeing the channel in the channel list
09-30-101 15:16:09 <Walter> *Rat-Salad* OK.  Let's call it FOCUSOS2.
09-30-101 15:16:15 *Rat-Salad* ok
