(Message updated December 14, 1999) Season's Greetings, Everyone! This is your weekly reminder of our regular Tuesday and Thursday night live chat on Starlink. (**Please note: "Starlink" and "Starlink-IRC are separate networks**). There is generally someone in the #pianotech Channel from 8:30 PM to 1:30 AM (or so) Eastern Standard time. This is an excellent opportunity to interact with other technicians worldwide in real time. On either of the two nights you may run into many people whom you may know from these lists and from conventions. Discussions range from shop talk about tools and techniques to piano design and of course, using the Internet. Additional public and private "rooms" can be set up instantly for mini-technicals if required without having to leave the #pianotech channel. The #pianotech "ftp" site, with MIDI files, pictures and other materials used in current and previous discussions can be found at: http://www.musselwhite.com/pub For those with WWW access, complete information about the IRC channel can be found on the excellent "Official #Pianotech WWW Page" at: http://www.clandjop.com/~dkvander/ircpiano.html The IRC Piano page has links to where you can download IRC clients for Windows and the Mac if you do not currently have a program that allows you to connect to us on IRC. Information for AOL users and the addresses of IRC "servers" that carry #pianotech are listed. Regular participants can have their information on the page by sending the info to David at mailto:dkvander@clandjop.com Many thanks to Kathleen and David Vanderhoofven for developing and hosting the page. For detailed information on Starlink including a list of servers point your WWW browser to: http://www.starlink.org/ If anyone has any questions, please EMail myself or David unless you feel the list participants might be interested. Live chat is a great way to exchange ideas or just spend some time in friendly conversation with like-minded people. We're hoping to see some of you Tuesday and/or Thursday evenings (or ANY night!) in #pianotech on Starlink.
