9:30 p.m. where? This internet thing is worldwide, and there are over 2 3 ( ;) ) dozen time zones on the planet. Also, in much of the world "a.m." and "p.m." are antiquated -- most Europeans typically use 24-hour time (i.e. 21:30 or 21.30).

For a minute there I was going to shoot from the hip, but I decided to look it up first. To my great surprise there are about 40 (!) official timezones. :-)

LOL completely forgot about the time zone thing lol.    9:30PM EST,  but the chat room is open all the time for those who want to join in and BS.  my Nick ZeroC001 is always logged in.  So just stop by say hi.  Its open 24 hours.  I may be idle but most nights im around the computer in the phone room till about 3 or 4 am EST

Anything goes?  Have some questions that might not be politic on a public forum (for legal reasons?) or ones don't want forever stored on cloud.  Fun example is my first post.  Googled "number plate for WE 2AA dial" and came across my own post here at CRPF!  Come full circle.

thx

Well, I didn't look up the number but I knew there are more than the "natural" 24, because 30-minute offsets are used in some places (such as Australia), some places use "Summer Time" (a.k.a. "Daylight Saving Time") changes twice a year, some places do not use "Summer Time" at all, and in some zones the clocks are permanently set about 1 hour ahead of mean solar time. So a figure of around 40 official time zones does not surprise me at all.

BTW, we've been on Daylight Saving Time for a couple of weeks now, so make that EDT instead of EST. For the rest of the world, EDT is UTC -04:00 hrs. So 21:30 EDT is 01:30 UTC.

If you dont like the captcha bs you can download an IRC client and connect to freenode that way,  It works pretty good.  :)  if you are on windows.  mIRC is good and free and linux,  X-Chat and irssi,  also on a Mac,  Colloquy and X-Chat

I've been on the chat room several times, and visited with Slandon, and several others, as well as on the C*net connection, ditto. I have always found it to be an enjoyable experience.

It sure would be nice, to chat (and vox) with some of the guys and gals from the forum. Don't be afraid to give it a try; ain't kilt me, yet! ;)

Best regards!
Sláinte!

I have logged in twice now and found nothing happening. I could not post anything or read anything. Am I doing something wrong?

I had the same issue, you need to fill out the info, then click "auth to services," and type in some info there, then a text box at the bottom will appear.

I have MIRC but it only used for music - karaoke... I already tried an IRC client and nothing's working correctly. So, let me the link and i'll see what happen. Otherwise, I forget it. thanks
