How to Chat, by Jon Huber

So, you’re being forced to join a chat room. It’s very easy, and I might provide too much information, which may result in more confusion than clarity. If you have any questions, then add a comment to THIS post.

First, click on the link to the Chat Room.
Bill's Chat Room

You will get a ‘loading’ screen; give it a few seconds to load. If you get an error, try this link, it will install the most recent version of Java, it’s free:
http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

After the Chat Room loads, you will be prompted for a Username. You can enter in anything you want, but something that can be associated with you is best. For me, Jon, JonH, JonHuber, Jon Huber, Jon Says Go Vols are all good Usernames. You can change the Username at anytime you re-enter the site.


Once logged-in, chatting is ‘easy’. Type what you want to say, then press the ENTER Key. Really, that’s it.


As a note, all the typing will disappear if you re-open the page. The chat room is not meant to be a ‘long term’ transcript, if you want to say it and make it last forever then add it to the blog.

Jon,

Thanks for the tutorial. Even us ol' folk can figure that one out! I like the idea - just have to learn how to type faster. Give us ol' guys some of the abbreviations, or we will never make it! LOL!

I will plan on being in the chat room at 4pm eastern time today (Saturday) if anyone wants to 'practice' and see how this works.
Hope to see you there!

I feel so neglected. First UT loses like a bunch of chumps, and then nobody joined me in the chat room.
I'll try again...
I'll go to the chat room Sunday at 5pm if anyone would like to test it out - since I know it's unchartered waters for many of you.

I'm in on the chat room. Can we schedule it around Andrew's feedings, fussy times, diaper changes.... Just kidding. Janine -Sorry no one chatted with you, I guess you're SOL (I have no idea, but everyone else is doing it).

We will join you at 4pm Central. Bill/Dad's blood count was way low this weekend (as it should be after chemo) and without those red cells, getting off the couch is an effort. The home health care nurse came out at 7pm and gave him an I.V. of packed red cells and 5 units of platelets. They finished at 10pm. She is coming back today at 1pm to give him 10 units of platelets. Remember he gets Benadryl and Tylenol with platelets, so hopefully he will be awake.
What is LOL? Love something something?
See you in the Chatroom.
Mom/Nancy

I've been away at WVWC with Jim for homecoming. The old folks showed the young frat brothers how to party. One of these kids told us we could party as long as we didn't break anything!

I'm ready to give this chat room a try. LOL to all of you when it is my turn.

Bill, hope today has been a better day.

Sorry I missed you Janine. I will try today. Since you are so much younger than me will they catch me and put me on 60 minutes for being a pervert?

Dear Everyone,
I have gone to the chat room several times, and I have been alone. FYI, I have then chatted with myself:) LOL!

I'm about to go to our staff meeting. What were the names of some of those drugs you were taking? Are they available over the counter?

Glad to see you up and online. Talked to Don Del Bosco last week. He said he wants you to act in a safety video.

Still have you in my thoughts and prayers. Not sure I can make the leap into the chatroom. Some of these people may be too wild for a shy engineer. Still have you in my thoughts and prayers.

Take care, Steve Lenker
