Yeah, maybe I will then... let's see...

Hmm I think the crash has meant it has had to start again.

~

Hmm, no I'm wrong... just started it in the wrong dir.

you.
Can't think of much else to say.

Neither can I. My computer's very slow.

Your entry on talkers got onto the front page today which brings us nicely onto the subject of that email.

Indeed it did. Yay!

gw.spodzone.org.uk 5252 always has me lurking (it's a quiet place) but I'm also on surfers.org 4242 now, which is very busy.

~

So how do I go about it, assuming I'm interested.

Well the quickest way would to be to go to a shell and type "telnet surfers.org 4242" but you'll end up typing in the place where the chat is happening. You'd be better off installing and using tf (follow the link on my article) but see if you enjoy being on a talker before you mess around with that...

~

if I did telnet surfers.org 4242 but didn't type anything then there wouldn't be any problem surely.

No, you can type... but you'll just have to cope with people talking around what you type. If you use tf, there's a separate line for typing in, so you don't get the same problem.

~

Well insatlling tf was no problem I did before you replied the first time, when it says enter your name you can use what ever you like right?

Anything that no-one else uses, aye.

Well someone is using Snowman so I had to be enragedchip.

Ah, that _was_ you! Why didn't you say anything? You just stayed silent for about half an hour and then vanished...

I found it a bit overwelming and didn't want to say anything that got in the way.

Eh? We were all prodding you trying to get you to talk... just a "hello" would have been just fine...

~

Well next time I try I may say more then hello.

Let me know when you're going to log in, as I don't spod at Surfers all that much any more.

This is possible going to seem odd, but do you have much experience with the gimp?

Not odd at all. I do have quite a reasonable amount of GIMP experience, aye.
