KIDLEADR CHAT02 This is a log of an IRC Chat on channel #kidlink on Mon/Tue Aug31/Sep1 from 0000-0200 GMT. Most of the log was recorded by Mark Hunnibell. It has been edited a very small amount for clarity to add the nicknames of the recorder. It appears we have established another regular time to meet for chat (over 20 people participated in this chat!) which is more convenient for the Asia/Pacific community. This time is 0000 GMT between Monday and Tuesday. This works out to Monday nights for the US and Tuesday mornings for Asia/Pacific. The only bad part is that it also works out to the wee hours for Europe. Sorry... but unless someone figures out how to suspend time, we're stuck with this physical reality. The Friday chats are also still on for 2100-2200 GMT (that is Sat AM for Asia/Pacific). The participants, in order of appearance in this log, are: Mary Esborn (KidLeader) - Guilford Connecticut USA BALDWINT@Venus.YCC.Yale.Edu Suzannah Hunnibell (13) - Guilford Connecticut USA GUILFORD@Venus.YCC.Yale.Edu Dan Wheeler (KidLeader) - Cincinnati Ohio USA Dan.Wheeler@UC.edu Delwynne Peterson (KidLeader) - Melbourne Australia DELWYNNEX@vax1.viccol.edu.au Hilary (15) - Melbourne Australia DELWYNNEX@vax1.viccol.edu.au Richard Naylor (KidLeader) - Wellington, New Zealand RICHN@tosh.WCC.govt.nz Hoe San (Visitor - 22) - Canada hsllok@descartes.uwaterloo.ca Nicole (14) - Melbourne Australia DELWYNNEX@vax1.viccol.edu.au Rebecca (14) - Melbourne Australia DELWYNNEX@vax1.viccol.edu.au Jak (Visitor - 19) unk Lisa (??) - Melbourne Australia DELWYNNEX@vax1.viccol.edu.au Melissa Hunnibell (12) - Guilford, Connecticut USA GUILFORD@Venus.YCC.Yale.Edu 'scrunch' David Parkinson (Visitor - 30) Ithaca, NY USA dp11@CRUX1.CIT.CORNELL.EDU Nyree (14) - Melbourne Australia DELWYNNEX@vax1.viccol.edu.au 'aek' (Visitor - ??) - Sydney Australia Unknown@yak.socs.uts.EDU.AU Khoury (Visitor - 16) khoury@cornsilk.engin.umich.edu 'Apple' (KidLeader) Chulalongkorn University Thailand kunchit@192.133.10.1 'TL' Tracy + ???
