Hi all you ferret lovers!
Yes, there is a well established ferret room on the IRC. (But any and all
are always welcome.)
It starts around 7 pm, Pacific Time, and goes to whenever. Many times, folk
don't show up until after 9 PAcific time. Generally, there is someone found
7 days a week on-line.
The hard part: The chat servers are a bit 'fussy' so you need to have a bit
of patience when logging on. The two servers are: irc.prospero.com and
irc.quarterdeck.com. Make sure you use port 6667
I have just recently been able to get on with mIRC 32 (Many of mIRC's
standard / functions don't work when you are on the 2 servers), but for
reliable connects, use Qdeck's Global Chat. To get a free copy of Global
Chat, go to: www.qdeck.com and download it. It will only take a minute to
install.
BTW, the room we are in is called #FERRET in mIRC and FERRET in Global Chat.
Something that is kind of fun to talk about is the FERRET CAM found at:
http://pbob.speeder.com/ferret/ Most times the ferrets are not seen,
but..you could be lucky and see one of the darlin's. I know I caught a
human leg last week!
And...to make it public...**I** am for the FML badges. As I have said in a
private msg to another FML'er, I would like to see some nice metal pins with
enameled surfaces. The cheap or inexpensive plastics don't cut it in my
book. Also, I suggest that the pins be dated yearly, so that the purchase
of pins would be an on-going happening. Why? Well, the idea of the pins is
another way to raise money for the shelters...with people such as myself
buying each year, it would be insured that a continual flow of money for the
shelter/rescue operations would occur.
This **is** something that needs be discussed, not just "I like it, etc."
but ideas offered, publically (sp) so ALL the ideas can be discussed.
Private messages are fine, but...*WE** are the FML and we all need to be
able to input ideas. (I am now stepping off the soapbox) Back to you BIG!!
