DavidWe waves to Teresa
DavidWe: Hi, Teresa. Welcome
MonikaP: Hello. Theresa!
DavidWe: Bom Dia
TeresaD hugs dennis and david

DavidWe hugs Teresa
DennisOl: Scones with jalapeños—now that's a thought!
TeresaD: long time no see, david :-)
SusanRy: I have to ask about all these hugs
DennisOl hugs Teresa back
DennisOl: Beijinhos e abraços, Teresa!
DavidWe: Bagels with jalapeños in Santa Fe - I like those - actually green chiles
TeresaD: we're all very huggable people, monika
DavidWe: Well, if you know someone well, they get hugged
DavidWe smiles
DennisOl: Then how about scones with nopalitos?
SusanRy: I see
TeresaD: and we all love to hug one another
DavidWe: Tere, now that David Beckham is coming to the States - I won't be getting as much playing time on the soccer field
DennisOl: Definitely, Teresa!
DavidWe: He is a good bit younger than me
MonikaP: I feel really hungry - in Germany it is almost lunchtime - I would love to get a bagel.
DavidWe: Sounds interesting, Dennis, the scones with nopalitos
SusanWood: When do we graduate from being "newbies" and receive hugs? (I'd rather have a hug than a diploma)
TeresaD: poor you, david. we have to do sth about it ;-)
JohannaS hugs susan
DavidWe: Graduations should involve hugs from friends and family, Susan. Didn't get any?
SusanRy: thanks Johanna!
SusanWood smiles happily and hugs JohannaS back
TeresaD: susan, you can start hugging at once :-)
DavidWe: Us Americans are paying him a BIG sum of money to go to Los Angeles
DennisOl: Nopalitos come from the prickly pear cactus.
SusanRy: Thanks Teresa!
JohannaS: Hey, Susan we're hugger too now!!
SusanWood hugs all around
DavidWe agrees about the nopalitos
DavidWe: Just don't hug the nopalitos - prickly
MonikaP: brb
TeresaD: consider yourself graduated in hugs, susan :-)
DavidWe nods
TeresaD hugs susan back
MonikaP left the room.
JohannaS hugs everyone
DavidWe: Well, I think the training program is almost complete
SusanRy: Now that I have my hugs I need to get coffee but I'll be back
DavidWe: Good idea
StevenP joined the room.
DennisOl: Hi, Steven.
DavidWe may go out to get some coffee, actually - and pick up some real bagels
DavidWe: Hi, Steven. WElcome
TeresaD: hi steven
StevenP: Hello

DavidWe: Let us know if you have questions
DennisOl: Welcome back, Monika.
DavidWe: Are you here for WebHeads, Steven?
MonikaP smiles
MonikaP: What is the time now in Arizona?? Must be very early in the morning??
StevenP: I am here for a virtual office
MariaVS joined the room.
DennisOl: Monika: Here's a link to a good map of Arizona. Phoenix (where I am) is in the south central section and the Grand Canyon is in the northwestern corner.
DavidWe: We had a birthday party with some quite nice (we tried a caterer) food for my Mom's 70th birthday
DennisOl: http://www.mapofarizona.net/
DavidWe: Had Beef Wellington, in fact

DavidWe: Bienvenidos

DavidWe smiles
JohannaS: All this talk about food. It's lunchtime here but I daren't take my eyes off teh screen.
MariaVS confused
StevenP left the room (signed off).
SusanWood: How do we go to the Webheads office?
TeresaD: we usually stay at the reception on sundays, maria
SusanWood: Where is it?
TeresaD: everybody finds us :-)
DavidWe: You new folks, do you know how to DETACH the chat in order to make it bigger?
MariaVS: ok
SusanWood: no...?
JohannaS: No David
MariaVS: My user name is Maria, but I'm Vicky from Argentina
DavidWe: See the ACTIONS menu?
DavidWe: Hi Vicky from Argentina
CherylO joined the room.
SusanRy: i can barely drink coffe and type simulataneously
MonikaP: Hi, Vicky
CherylO: brb
DavidWe: Click the Actions menu, scroll down to DETACH
DennisOl: Vicky: 'Sorry I got your name wrong!
DavidWe: THe chat window will become a separate window...you can then re-size it
SusanRy: Ahh David thanks for teaching how to detach.
DavidWe: I make mine as tall as the screen will allow
DavidWe: It allows you to SEE more of the conversation
MariaVS: Don't worry. No way to know!
DennisOl: Earlier I mentioned nopalitos. Here are some good photos. (The second and third are good.)
DennisOl: http://tinyurl.com/yu7wcu
DavidWe: Well, it's a part of the emotions - "detachment" - you know
DavidWe grins
SusanRy: this is MUCH better
DavidWe: Yes, it usually is
JohannaS: Oh thanks David that's loads better!:laughs
DavidWe: Indeed
MonikaP: I would love to see the "nopalitos".
SusanRy susanr smiles
DavidWe: Some amateur must have given you a tour, yesterday, I guess
DennisOl: Monika: http://tinyurl.com/yu7wcu
MariaVS laughs
SusanRy: Dennis do you create your own icon there?
DavidWe: So, this is an old joke (and many people cringe when I tell it again, but...) "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?"
DennisOl: Susan: No.
DennisOl: I mean, I personally haven't created one for myself.
JohannaS: Tell us david
MariaVS: It's a bit far from where I live!
DavidWe: oh, c'mon - take a stab at it?
DavidWe smiles
SusanRy: Icon, OK, I went to the site yesterday but got called away
DavidWe: You know what Carnegie Hall is?
DavidWe believes Andrew Carnegie was a "wee Scot"
DavidWe . o O ( Uh-oh, I've stunned the crowd )
SusanWood: to get to Carnegie Hall.... follow the chicken that is crossing the road?
SusanRy: Do you steel your way?
DavidWe . o O ( Practice! )
DavidWe: You will all feel more comfortable using Tapped In the more you use Tapped In
DennisOl: Carnegie Hall:
DennisOl: http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/medny/stevens.html
MonikaP: I saw the nopalitos. They look wonderful - sehr lecker!!
DavidWe: It may seem challenging (and too complicated), now, but it will get easier - trust us
JulieTh joined the room.
DavidWe: Hi, Julie. Welcome
DennisOl: Monika: They are. I make a salad with them. They're also good with eggs.
MonikaP: But - do you cook them before you can prepare a dish?
SusanWood left the room (signed off).
SusanWood joined the room.
DennisOl: Yes, Monika. They need to be steamed.
DavidWe . o O ( deep-fried? )
DavidWe: Let us know if you have questions, Julie.
SusanWood left the room (signed off).
MonikaP: aha
DennisOl: Deep fried? Hmmm. I've never had them that way.
DavidWe just wonders
MonikaP: We went to Mexico 10 years ago for mountaineering and we loved the mexican food.
DennisOl: Wex: What's the "thinking" code (for .oO)?
DavidWe . o O ( /th blah, blah, blah )
DavidWe: start with the /th
JohannaS: Is everyone here on the BaW course?
MonikaP lol
DavidWe smiles
MariaVS: I am
DennisOl . o O ( Wex is always helpful! )
TeresaD left the room (signed off).
Room: TI_Reception
TeresaD joined the room.
DavidWe: Welcome back, Tere
TeresaD: thanks, david
TeresaD: one click too many ;-)
JohannaS: Maria, are you finding the amount of mail rather overwhelming?
DennisOl: WB, Teresa!
DavidWe: So, were there storms in Portugal also, or only in northern Europe?
DennisOl: Here are some recipes using nopalitos:
DennisOl: http://tinyurl.com/2kb8kj
MonikaP: ?WB?
DennisOl: Johanna: I am, too.
MariaVS: welcome back
SusanWood joined the room.
TeresaD: no storms here, david. we're a very peaceful people ;-)
DennisOl: And I also find the amount of mail a bit of a challenge, Johanna!
MonikaP: Dennis, thank yu. But I have no idea where I could by nopalitos.
DavidWe: Pretty windy in northern Europe (England, France, Holland, Germany...)
DennisOl: I think it would probably be pretty hard to find nopalitos in Germany.
SusanWood: I have a question, DavidWe?
MonikaP: We had a bad storm - some demages on the house and in the garden.
DavidWe: What's up, Susan?
DavidWe nods to Moni
DavidWe: Pictures here were dramatic
DavidWe: Dennis, do you know that palm trees grow in Ireland?
DennisOl: No, I didn't know that, Wex.
DavidWe waits for Susan's question
SusanRy: Johanna, I've become a great email scanner, I ususally look for Teresa or Daf's correspondence and Dennis O. If i read those I feel like I know what is going on
SusanWood: Well, I tried to click on some of the links that you folks put into the chat (in blue) and my Firefox blocked them. At first I couldn't figure out why they didn't work, then I say the block notice: 3 applets. I tried to unblock and then managed to get totally lost and had to shut browser down. So my question is
DavidWe: some guy showed me pictures- I didn't believe him - but there they were - Gulf Stream, apparently
DennisOl: Very interesting!
SusanWood: How do you make the links work?
DavidWe: How to allow pop-ups from Firefox?
DavidWe: Couple of ways...have you detached the chat window, Susan?
DennisOl: BRB: I'm going to make some coffee.
SusanWood: Yes
DavidWe: Do you see a small red X in the lower corner of the web window of Firefox?
DavidWe . o O ( lower right, I believe )
DavidWe: You should be able to click on that and then choose from several options
JohannaS: Good idea SusanRy. But then that means you miss my pearl of wisdom!! (actually I never get time to post!)
TeresaD: my thank you, susan :-)
DavidWe: You want to ALLOW pop-ups from Tapped In
DavidWe: That way, when you click on a web site address (URL) you will get a new browser window with that address
SusanWood: No, but I use a No Scripts plug in and I have to allow Tapped In through. Is that my problem?
MonikaP: folks, I have to prepare lunch. No goulash today - but pork roast with dumplings - Schweinebraten und Semmeolknödel - I am sure you would like it.
SusanRy: I'll add you to my list Johanna
DavidWe: Firefox blocks that "action" of popping things up by default, Susan
MonikaP: Bye, have a very nice day and see you perhaps later.
DavidWe: Well, you want to allow popups from Tapped In - one way or another
DavidWe waves to Moni
DavidWe: Servus
MonikaP waves
MariaVS: Sorry but I will have to leave
SusanWood: Oh. I think that the box that you mean is now on top of hte screen and only appears when something is blocked. Can you put another link into this and I will try it?
DavidWe: You can also just open a new browser window, Susan, and type in the URL, but clicking on it is a nice feature
MonikaP: Servus and Pfüat Eich
MariaVS: Unexepected problem
DavidWe: certainly
SusanWood: I have set my scripts to allow Tapped In through
DavidWe . o O ( www.tappedin.org )
MariaVS: bur
MariaVS: Bye
DavidWe waves to Maria
DavidWe: Ciao
SusanRy: Thanks everyone and especially you David, talk to you next week.
MariaVS left the room (signed off).
DavidWe: Depending on how it is configured, Susan
SusanWood: Yes, box appears at top right of screen.
DavidWe: You're welcome, SusanRy
MonikaP left the room (signed off).
DavidWe: You may need to re-start the browser (logout/then log back in)
DavidWe: You may need to play with it a bit
DavidWe: I can't follow along precisely since I'm using a Mac right now
SusanRy left the room.
DavidWe: But Firefox works well (on Windows) in my experience
JohannaS: Dennis, do you have a way to cope with all the BaW traffic
DavidWe . o O ( delete it all? )
DavidWe smiles
DennisOl: Johanna: No, not really. I read all the messages and it takes a LOT of time!
DavidWe . o O ( Dennis is SO diligent )
DavidWe: Doing okay, Susan - making any progress?
JohannaS: A full time job, isn't it?
SusanWood smiles and thanks DavidWe...
DennisOl . o O ( Dennis is SO obsessive-compulsive! )
DavidWe smiles
DavidWe: Well, isn't that part of "diligence"?
DennisOl: Johanna: Yes, definitely!
DavidWe chuckles
DennisOl: Wex: I guess it is!
DavidWe: Anyone who is steaming their nopalitos...hey, I'm impressed
DavidWe: I just try not to stab myself with them
DennisOl chuckles along with Wex
DavidWe: Okay, now that Monika has left, I'm actually going to get some bagels, for real
DennisOl: Wex: You have to remove the spines before you cook them.
DavidWe: I shall return!
SusanWood: Yes, now little red x is at bottom of screen. I told it to allow everything through (in addition to the no scripts plug in). frankly I can't see any difference, but at least I wasn't booted off this time.
DennisOl: You'd better, Wex!
DavidWe knew there was a better technique for dealing with those spines
DavidWe: Yes, typically, when the pop-up blocker is active, Susan, you get knocked out of the chat as a result
DennisOl: Of course, I buy nopalitos de-spined—or even already cooked (i.e., in a jar).
DavidWe: Anyway, I hope it is working okay, now, Susan
SusanWood: thanks David!
DavidWe imagines in the southwest the nopalito industry is bigger than in Philadelphia
DavidWe: welcome, Susan
DavidWe: I'll be back in 30 minutes or so, folks
DavidWe: Off to get some bagels
DavidWe is afk
SusanWood: what is afk?
JohannaS: afk?
DavidWe: Was Vance and the rest (away from keyboard == afk) showing up?
DavidWe . o O ( be right back == brb )
DavidWe . o O ( ROTFL == Rolling on the floor, laughing )
DavidWe: There area thousands of those acronyms
DavidWe smiles
DavidWe: be back soon
JohannaS: IRAGTGMBN - Do you know that one David?
SusanWood looks puzzled
JohannaS: I Really Am Going To Get My Bagel Now.
SusanWood laughs
TeresaD: lol
DennisOl: Here's a link to some common chat-type acronyms:
DennisOl: http://www.netlingo.com/emailsh.cfm
TeresaD: how about hala's OAWAAW?
JohannaS: meaning?
DennisOl: Luvit, Teresa!
TeresaD: once a webhead, always a webhead!!!
JohannaS: you mean I'll never have a real life again?
TeresaD: when you look at it, it could be some sort of tarzan call ;-)
SusanWood: The linked worked this time! Hurray!
TeresaD: sure you will, johanna. we all do!!!
TeresaD: and many of us are meeting f2f in seattle in march for the tesol convention
DennisOl: Yes, it DOES look like a Tarzan call—or maybe the "song" of a love-sick donkey!
TeresaD: lol, dennin
TeresaD: dennis
DennisOl chuckles
JohannaS: i don't suppose anyone is going to be at teh IATEFL Learning Technologies SIG in Norwich, UK this February?

DennisOl: Özer: Sorry. I was confused. That's a letter that Romanian uses, but not Turkish.
SusanWood: You can also set your keyboard for different languages, but then you have to know what has been assigned to each key. Right now, I'm using a Swedish keyboard to type on a laptop with an English keyboard that is switchable to Spanish and Estonian. I have to keep a paper printout handy in case of confusion! :-)
