snt >> David knows how. He also knows that he's not supposed to tell you how. :-)
snt >> The whole point of the excercise is that you figure it out for yourself. :-)
snt >> I was in a library the other day and asked a librarian where the "Self-help" section was. She said that it would defeat the object if she told me :)

David >> Since VK doesn't give any hints, and it is nonobvious (how to get into "advanced user", that is), I thought I'd get some hints from you.
David >> You can't hide your IP address like that.
snt >> No hints! There are two modes, "Novice" and "Advanced". The default mode is "Novice". To become an "Advanced" user you have to figure out how. There are no hints. If there were hints it would not require an _advanced_ user to become an "Advanced User". To become an Advanced User you have to EARN it! :-)

I will have to charge up Opera to see your space ships on the dark background. They look quite cool on the default grey but I feel sure that they will look even more cooler still on black.
llizard >> Don't you dare say "I have to leave now" :)
VK; Well, almost excellent. Goodbye snt! Sorry to have missed you.
David; That's why I came in a little earlier so that rationing couldn't possibly be imposed quite yet.

Now that I'm here, I will have to change from the lovely pearl grey. VK; I had forgotten how swell it looks in colour. (Yikes!!! I might have to upgrade my Netscape. But don't hold your breath. It won't happen in the near future. You _know_ who wears the pants in this family!)

llizard >> As I've said before, the solution for you is to get your own computer (or wait until T upgrades and grab the old one for yourself). :-)
Oooh!!! I think I NEEEEEEEED to see those space ships in yellow...
VK; The solution is for me to get a job so I can afford to get my own computer.... :^/
llizard >> That sounds like a solution for me too! :P
llizard >> Still, you've had that computer for a couple of years now, so upgrading shouldn't be too far away into the future.... :-)
Drat. Opera seems to be stalling...
David; it was that picture of Cher that messed Opera up!

Ooops. I didn't mean to leave that "too early too late" thing there... Hello miK!
miK; take a look at David's space ships on the dark background. (I'm presuming that you can do that. There are so few of us --only me,\ I suspect-- who can't see the colours.)
all>> hi! i'm sensing vk, llizard and dp around. anyone i forget?
miK; Nope, I think that's all of us, unless FS is lurking. I know he sometimes does that, much to VK's chagrin.
David; You must fill us in on the exact nature of your snack. (I'm starving)
llizard >> VK and snt made the original spaceship a little earlier.
llizard>> with my latest send/refresh davids spaceships have disappeared from the buffer. "( but *i* can imagine what they look like on a dark background... can't you? ")
llizard >> Freshly made popcorn (can you smell it?)

miK; Yes, I can imagine it because it is still freshly in my mind. David; mmmmm... popcorn....

llizard >> It's a hot air powered machine. Put in the corn, switch on, and popcorn blows out in under 2 minutes. (No oil required)
vk>> hey, that >buffer> word i just picked up from our last chat. and that's ages ago :)
llizard >> I'm working on some stupid little bug in the chat... :P
David; Ah! I have one of those but it must be the older model (don't laugh, VK) and it takes 5 minutes. miK; Is it disgustingly hot where you are?
llizard >> What was I supposed to laugh at? *confused*
miK >> I flew to Newcastle-Brussels-Luxembourg last week and I could see a lot of the Netherlands fronm the air.
miK; We had to take the train home. It was very crowded but the car we were in was strangely empty almost as soon as we oozed into our seats. `!, -( )- /'|\` | \ ` `'/\ , \ /|_| /\ /\ | | ---%^^^, \/\/ | | \/ /--\ . . /!\/ > ! > >,^ /| ejm / \
VK; don't laugh that I have an older model of popcorn maker than David. ha ^^^^%--- ha " \ ha (and we refuse to upgrade)
VK >> llizard owns a 386 popcorn maker which was a great machine when it was new but she needs to upgrade to a Pentiumm III popcorn maker.
ha ^^^^%--- ha " \ ha Thank you, David; I wish I had thought of that!
llizard >> Maybe there's an overdrive chip available for your popcorn maker :)
llizard >> Why would I laugh at that? *still confused*
vk>> sorry... hadn't finished. actually i think i used the word "buffer" incorrectly
VK; Because you keep badgering me to buy my own computer so I can upgrade... :^) David; don't you find it difficult to type with buttery fingers? Or are you just dipping your face right into the bowl and eating the popcorn like a dog?
david>> well... last week i took the boat to harwich so i not only did i see it i even smelled the english countryside. :)
David; ANOTHER(??!!!?) snack? Quel hog. :^D miK; I think you used "buffer" correctly. The space ships had disappeared from the small buffer but they are in the large buffer still (I presume they are still there.)
miK >> I'm going to Rijnsberg in a few weeks.
miK and David; Our next door neighbour is English so I heard the accent....
David; Will that be for a holiday or business?
VK; What is the matter with the chat? It seems to be working all right now that I have left the Opera.
llizard>> you took the train home _after_ cycling 40 miles? perhaps i'm too Dutch but i do not understand that. why didn't you cycle all the way? =)
llizard >> Chocolate (70% Cocoa solids) so it's a food. Isn't it? :)
llizard >> I'm taking my family on holiday. When your English neighbour speaks English he doesn't have an accent :)
david>> i guess you couldn't spell check. =) do you mean Rijnsburg? That's not far from where i live. =)
miK >> Whatever... :-) llizard >> No, I keep badgering you to get your own computer so that you won't have to compete with T for the computer. I didn't know that your popcorn situation was such that the machine you have is not enough to keep the two of you with as much popcorn as you want... :P
llizard>> if david's from newcastle you should imagine a scottish accent. ;)
llizard >> You took the train _after_ cycling 40 miles. Why didn't you take the train all the way?
miK; We wanted to cycle in a different area. We took the train east TO a neighbouring town then rode from that town to another town and then took the train home. Getting out of Toronto in that direction is hellish ESPECIALLY when it is hot. It is all busy wide roads with no trees. (I would much rather bicycle in Europe.) David; and chock full of vitamins too. (well, vitamin C anyway. Doesn't any food starting with the letter C have vitamin C in it?)
vk>> wish _my_ computer could make popcorn...
mik >> Scottish accent? NO WAY!!!! llizard >> My accent is more like.....now who will you have heard ......er......someone from Northern England?
David; `' , _.\_,^%--- (_._/< \ I wondered the same thing \___> after about 2 km. (it was only - \ >,^- 40 kilometres, not 40 miles) ( * )`/|( * ) ejm - | \ - miK; Really? Newcastle isn't in Scotland, is it? (Here it becomes evident that I didn't pay attention very well in Geography class) VK; ha ^^^^%--- ha " \ ha and :^P to you too.
David >> You mean somebody who takes the "bos" to work?
llizard>> aha! =) do you wear helmets, etc. while cycling? overhere you pick out the cycling tourists easily because of their equipment. the natives aren't that overdressed. :)
miK >> Do you know of any fun things to do with 4 kids aged 3 to 9 in the Rijnsburg area?
David; Actually, she's not from the North. She's from Manchester.
VK >> I live in the middle of nowhere. There are no buses. I have to travel by car to work.
david>> I guess it just depends on what side of the Trajan (?) wall you live. :P maybe you can name a famous media person from "Northern England" to give us a clue?
llizard >> Manchester qualifies as the North.
David >> You asked if [somebody] had heard somebody from northern England. I have, and she talks about taking the "bos" to work instead of the "bus", like the rest of us...
miK; Yes, I ALWAYS wear a helmet (I was in a very bad bike accident about 10 years ago and won't pedal without the helmet now.) And when we are cycling in Europe, people point at me and laugh because I am dressed SOoooo incorrectly. I don't wear those lycra Italian racer clothes, I wear knee length pants, gloves and a peaked hat with a French legion style handkerchief at the back under my helmet. I look like someone that you would be afraid to meet on a well lit street (let alone a dark alley)
David; Then I stand by my first reply. My neighbour has your accent. It is I who have no accent here... when I go there, of course I have a most obnoxious accent, although I've been told that my French accent isn't as atrocious as some FrenchCanadians'
David; and my Granddad was from Manchester area as well. I can still hear him saying "Marvelous!" (he was always so kind when we crashed out tunes on the piano for him)
david>> To be honest... never been there. But they have a famous amateur football team there... and the not so famous, but pro- fessional tennis player Jan Siemerink was raise there. hmmm... not so interesting. ") Well... Rijnsburg is near the sea and there's a great Nature Museum in Leiden. Even great for kids. Do you have a car in Rijnsburg. I'll come up with something...
VK; I thought you were asking if David took the "boss" to work! :^D
David; by "there", I mean "over there" "across the sea" "not here" rather than to my neighbour's house.
llizard >> No, he was asking if somebody knew the dialect, and I tried to describe how this person I know talks... :P
llizard >> When I speak French I have an English accent, when I speak English I have a dialect. (Not so very different from Manchester).
VK; :^) Yes, NOW I know what was being asked. (same to you :^P )
llizard>> haha!! you cause all those traffic jams! :)
David; When I speak French, I have a scary mix of a Canadian Parisian accent, unless I am speaking French in Quebec, then like the cchameleon that I am, I begin to speak with that nasal Quebecoise accent. When I speak English, I sound like a Californian on speed.
miK; ha ^^^^%--- ha " \ ha Yes, it's true. But we try to stay on little unused roads so as to avoid terrorizing the natives.
llizard >> When I speak French I sound like a moron. When I speak English I sound like a Canadian on Tequilla :)

David; Well, I fell I must confess that when I speak, I sound like a moron.
VK; ha ^^^^%--- ha " \ ha I'm not gone quite yet... (soon though, if you're trying to get rid of me.)
david>> you can lent the "speak fluently French" CD-ROM I just purchased. Well... It's Dutch2French so you probably need to learn Dutch first :)
llizard >> Huh? Didn't you just say you were leaving?
VK; I said that I felt certain that rationing was about to be imposed. so yes, I suppose that I did say I was leaving. And so I am, very soon.
miK; I'd like to borrow that CD. Do you think that I could suddenly learn to speak both French and Dutch fluently?
miK >> I've tried translating English-Dutch-French-English. Very funny.

vk>> gee... so your chat cgi can read my mind? amazing! =)
miK >> No, but it knows which was the last message you read... :D
david>> how mobile are you in Rijnsburg? do you have a car? what offspring do you have (presuming the kids are yours)? i mean do they like rough movies or are they a little bit nerdy?
miK >> There are programmes to download here http://www.babylon.com/eng/download/index.html
vk>> i'm partly asian so i read right2left AND upside-down. :)
miK >> And? I assume that when you hit "refresh" you have read all the messages so far in the buffer....
miK >> I will be on a campsite in Rijnsburg. I have 4 very rough boys who spend most of their time fighting each other and destroying things.
david>> thanks for the pointer!! hmmm... 6.4 meg is a bit much for this connection. but i've got a stomach ache already imagining what output this debabylonizer is gonna have. :)

Hello VK; Sadly, I'm back later than I had hoped and will have to leave soon. :^(
VK; I like this spaceship saga that you and snt have going.

llizard >> You could have a go at making one with that Java applet...
[Hmmmm... that's an interesting development...]
VK; I'm madly eating my dinner as I do this. I have to go in one minute... i don't think i'm going to be leaving in one minute.... :^D
VK; I might do that. I'll see. Now that I've finally finished moving from GeoCities, I will try to take some time to do some creating.
VK; Bob Haschart (one of his animations is on my site - "Spot") sent me an NS3 compatible Java form that I haven't examined completely. It looks good - no ugly frames like in Javascript and it seems that it runs in a similar manner to the NS4 one. But there is a window. It doesn't require Java1.1 or whatever it is that the manga ones require.
VK; I just moved all my gifs onto the Crosswinds site. It takes a while to do uploading because I keep having rationing imposed. :^/
This one works in MY NS3! http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/pics/ascii/junkyard/creative/animations/java/dum.html
VK; It's boiling hot in here. We're having another heat wave and like fools we went for a bike ride (35C and humid) I wore long sleeved cotton shirt and have a sunburn on my neck because the collar didn't go high enough... :^/
