hm i hate to leave people out. should we just thread the discussion? it would work as a chat if people all show up at the same time (if you don't believe me threads can work as chats go see marleypumkin's earlier incarnations :D)

We'll do both a thread and a chat. Both will start at 5. The chat will be there all night, people can stop by whenever they want.

Making thread and chat at 5.

5 what is 5? 4pm my time? ok...

allnight chatroom? oh.... cyber.... :p

btw can admins see EVERYTHING going on in there? :eek:

5pm is in 1 and a half hours. It is 3:30 now my time.

1 1/2 hours from now.

I guess should download all the required garbage.....

There aren't really admins except for me--I'm bringing a video camera.

REQUIRED GARBAGE:

"You have to be using Firefox for this to work. If you're not, you should be anyway. Firefox is available here: http://www.mozilla.com/

Directions:

1. Go to http://www.hacksrus.com/%7Eginda/chatzilla/

2. Go to the bottom of the page and click on "install 0.9.72" at the bottom right. You may have to allow this site if nothing happens. A yellow bar will come up at the top of the screen if this is the case. If this happens, click on "Edit Options" in the yellow bar, then click on "Allow", then on "Close". Then try clicking on "install 0.9.72" again.

3. Once you get this worked out, go ahead and install the plugin. You will have to restart Firefox for it to finish installing.

4. Restart Firefox and go to Tools-->ChatZilla

5. Type /server rangers.ix.us.dal.net

6. Type /join #SYGBookClub after it connects.

7. If you need to change your nickname type /nick {whatever}

Also, any IRC program will work. You don't need this one, it's just nice that it's a plugin. You could also use something like mIRC: http://www.mirc.com/

hey if this is still further than an hour away i need to get back to work...

Alright so the downloading part was too easy for words. I'm coasting through everything, then this user name bullshit starts up...

What the hell is all this shit?? Do I need a password?

56!! 56!!

This is what I'm trying. But I'm still fucking Guest437583745. I want to punch the screen. I hate the word ERRONEOUS

no man, 56 is YOUR NAME HERE :D

ha ha i was wondering about that for a while

pick any username w/ regular characters should work

Haha but I was trying to use 56 as my name in the chat too. But its a bastard. I actually think it allows cyrillic....

this chick that works @ the bakery told me



i told her i was afraid it was "bad words" :D

Oh....she's hot.

Russian too?!

Did she notice the 'X'-tra x? There is no X in either word.

ha ha she's ok, nice girl. i've been taking pictures in this place i stay all day. i can sell you others if youre interested ha ha ha (no!). that's my favorite one of her actually-- it's a bit blurry but it works.

she didnt mention a thing though. she said "trakatraka [whatever]. fifty-six" and i said "uh" she said "it's not a bad word" and i said "what does it say"

ha hah, what am i doing showing decent people this atrocious board :D

so we meet in 50'?

He also posted in a thread a while ago.

Babelfish says it means "Heels X of 7d European Union 4t the post".

I got the damn thing to work.

I'm {56}. It was a painful process.

I agree with should do both. I'm not sure I can be here for the 5 o'clock chat room, unless it stays going all night - though it seems with that much time, we will definitely venture off topic.

I've already got ahead. I'm 7 chapters in, but I'm sure it will help to discuss what I've already read.

-------<- imbecile

you know guys btw you can join to any server on dalnet.... not necessarily that ranger one...

--
ps im gogol bordello btw

I can't connect to the dalnet network! I keep getting error 'timed out'.

do yu have a firewall or something?

I do, but I cut it off and I still get the same error.

dude, download mIRC, connect to dalnet, & log to room & you're set

I can't find any of the other threads, so -

Were there any other interim meetings scheduled before Noumenal's return?

On June 11th we will be discussing the first six chapters. To my knowledge there is no other meeting scheduled. Of course I'm known for being out of the loop. So, if this proves to be wrong, whatever, and I'm sorry.

Bye bye board. Bye bye book club. I will be back on Sunday the 11th. I am flying to Hotlanta via the N-O today. I am leaving in an hour. Gogol is coming with me. 3 PM CST (-6GMT) on Sunday. B there or B squareeeeeeeeeeee. Boyeeeeeeeeeee.

Have fun, and get crunk.

So uh...good discussion...Did I miss something?

HM i was wondering what happened...

im the only one in the chatroom right now, cybering myself :D

I missed the discussion; what was happening?

i dont know that there was one; 56 might have been drunk as the u.s. team got its ass kicked, noumenal is still awol, i got here this afternoon, and... ???

was anybody present? ha ha ha. we're the laziest fucks ever. good thing considering it's summer reading.

well i'm going to be out of here until-- tomorrow? i dont know. got lots of work to do.

Nope. I checked the chat room about every 20 minutes from 12:30 to 1:30. No one. Lazy bastards. All of you.

Fortunately for me, though, I'm a slow reader and am still on chapter 8.

And it was yesterday.

Nah, I wanted to get drunk. I was just angry, and completely forgot about this. Would not have worked for me though, instead of drowning my sorrows, a friend offered to smoke some grass. Well of course I'd say yes, for the first time in at least two years. It was fun, but I was gone. Watching Italy play while being elevated was interesting....

you fuckers, watching the world cup.

i am unfortunately one of those people cursed with the need to work in order to make a living.

which means that i'm missing all the matches, being that they happen in the morning where i live. fuck.

hey chapter 8, weren't we supposed to read up to chapter 6 anyway? i'm up to 5, ha ha, i've been busy (really). but you guys want to do this today or something? i'll be here for a bit (though i am mostly working).

nothing?

i'll be out of here in a few minutes

ha ha ha what a bunch of lazy fucks we are.

of course, i'm going straight to the hammock-- where else would i go?

you fuckers have a happy reading. without arthelion, we are a worthless bunch of worms. :D

Haha. We should just set up a time to discuss Part I. Preferably, we should actually remember this time. But everyone should ideally read at whatever pace makes it most enjoyable to them. Discussions are just for fun.

I assume Noumenal died?

I've finished the book, read two more since (I don't have shit to do), I was just busy and missed the discussion.
We should have a thread about it, as well as the chat room, for people who missed the chat room, or were busy.
We need to hurry about this. I'm begginning to forget what I read..
