@ Deathsangel - I believe that PST is GMT-7 hours, though I admit that I am just a little confused (I looked here)

Shall we sign up for the list with ICQ numbers or MSN names?
I suggest that everyone interested would also list their GMT time zone, just so we could see? I am GMT+1 and free for most time during weekends and most nights during working week.

USA:
PST minus 8
MST minus 7 unless you're in Arizona where it's minus 8 (Mountain Standard Time)
CST minus 6
EST minus 5 unless you live in Indiana where it's minus 6

Europe:
GMT zero
CET plus 1
MST plus 3 (Moscow Standard Time)
AWST plus 8
ACST plus 9.5
AEST plus 10

I think that gets most of the SHS members. Try http://www.worldtimezone.com/ for others.

Well, I must be old because I have no idea what GMT is. Must be some new fangled thing :blink:

My MSN name is: Cuvieronius@aol.com

ICQ (which I havent used in years but still have it) is 128941890

My gosh, I am old. Looking at my contact list on ICQ and see names like Wolfmoon, Ghreyfain, Elhoe, Kensai Ryu, Xyx and Quitch.

Just for a point of reference for everyone... its a little past 10am here, and my bedtime.

Neat, I've checked by the way.

Monday evening or sunday at night would be for me the best. That would me as I mean from.... 19:00 or so that is for you 10:00... bit bad probably for you on monday...
Also sunday in the morning is fine for me... that means for you in the evening as that can be from 08:00, so that is for you 23:00

That will work for me... gives us a timeframe to plan for at least. Once we decide on a particular day to get it started, I can request that night off :)

How does that fit with everyone else on the time frame?

Time frame? As in how long I need to learn?
Or as in I have... 6 new areas?

I am practically the same time zone as Deathsangel, so the convenient times are similar. However, I would like to fit into the weekends if I could choose*Tas

The weekends would be good for me. M - F I work 3-11pm and while I have Some internet access, my boss has this idea that I ought to be Working and not d*cking around on the computer with my hobbies.

Silly boss...

I am in the USA midwest time zone, if it matters.

Great idea - I'd be interested. You might try something like Freez for video capture or Yugma for web conferencing (both freeware/non-spyware I think).

Thank you VERY much Miloch, I grabbed and installed Yugma... seems to do what we need, but will need a test run with someone to see if you can actually see my desktop as I work.

Somebody who wants to help me test this out, PM me in the next 15 minutes and I will start a session and you can see if it works.

Cuv

Guess not :( Maybe tomorrow then. It looks like whomever tests this with me will need to download the Yugma also.
Anyways, PM me anyone interested.

Eh, sorry... I only get delayed forum notifications (when I get them at all) :(. Anyway, I DLed Yugma and will try installing it presently. Shoot me the details if you still need someone to test it.

Laptop has gone bonkers this weekend, causing me to have no internet whatsoever (can viruses really destory the software that bad?). Therefore I was not online to help.

To be honest, why does MSN messenger not surfice? After all you can do cam and audio things as well over there...
As said for the weekends I can't do full sunday so to say... saturday is quite dependable... (though all is off course with the laptop gone ill :unsure:)

Thanks to Tass for getting online and testing out the Yugma with me. It seems to do what we want, it will show you my desktop as I work. There is a little lag time, but I can take that into account while I am explaining.

Yes, thank you very much Deathsangel. We had some fun indeed and y'all got a little intro into how to work IETME.

Tass, Death and Dirt_Squirrel seem VERY serious about this class. So that makes three for sure. We should stick to the original plan of the first class being more of an introduction to the tools needed, how to make the tileset and create your backup files... filled with questions that should take up an entire class.

Who else? I should be around this weekend at various hours, if you are interested grab the free Yugma and shoot me a PM if you see me online.
