Session Start: Sun Jan 03 13:21:44 1999
* JennV nods re the Sime~Gen Inc.
JennV: Do we want to start logging now, or later?
KLitman: I started logging already
JennV: 'k
JL: It's only 1:30 -- official log starts at 2, but who KNOWS.
JennV: Karen, you'd know. Who has written fiction for Sime~gen this year?
* JennV ooohs. "I Just thought up a nomination for fiction."
JL: Jenn - was there anything in that batch of email I must answer NOW before the CHAT. I may spend tomorrow writing a column that's past deadline for submission.
JennV: "Doubtful Document and Malachite Mouse.
JennV: Nope. Nothing you /need/ to know for the Chat.
KLitman: oh yes!! Document and Mouse
MargeR: Light of Zeor....
KLitman: That too
JennV: I wrote Big Sister and Killroom, but Document and Mouse are REALLY good. Who else wrote stuff this year?
* JennV nods. Light of Zeor.
JL: The problem with fiction awards is that EVERYTHING is worthy and I don't want a popularity contest around our fiction.
KLitman: John Cowan "Alarms of Struggle and Flight"
JennV: No. Definately not.
JL: If it's gone through me and Jean, it's at least Hugo quality (not kidding or exaggerating there).
MargeR: Then give everyone who gets and "authorized" story on the web an award
KLitman: now that makes sense
JL: Marge - did that WONDROUS thing that I did a Klyd speech for.
KLitman: It took her a long time to finish it.
MargeR: Yea Sectuib, you have a wicked red pen
JL: I can't recall the title.
MargeR: Light of Zeor...
MargeR: Klyd's speech still makes me cry
JL: Oh, ok, yeah LIGHT OF ZEOR -- perfect title and I can't remember it. I just remember the EMOTIONAL IMPACT.
KLitman: it does the same thing to me.
KLitman: thank you..... I helped Marge with the title.
JL: Oh, I agree MARY LOU deserves a marylou award just for living through all that -- and now she's getting married!
JL: Maybe that's it -- our fiction award will be named The Mary Lou?
KLitman: yep, and she was sick through the holidays
KLitman: Mary Lou has been with us a LONG TIME
JennV: She and I. Our room was the Darkover Infirmary.
JennV: Mind you, so was JL's.
KLitman: ML was ill during New Years and Christmas too
JennV: Ewww. I was spared /that/
JL: Mary Lou comes accross as about 8 ft tall - and she's more like one of my Boxmaster characters, Yran, in stature.
JennV: Mary Lou is Sime build. I'm Gen build.
KLitman: yep
JL: Karen -- I found Katie's go-through of your chart yesterday, and put it in the computer this morning -- guess what -- Katie nailed every number to at least 3 decimal places (by hand -- not even a hand-held calculator!)
* JennV listens to the kookaburras waking up
KLitman: WHAT?????
KLitman: I can't believe it.
JL: Yep - that's Katie.
KLitman: Please send me a copy of the chart. I can't find my old one.
KLitman: Got lost in 20 years of moving about. Katie always was amazing with the astrological charts.
JennV: Is this transfer/selyn mechanics stuff? If so, and if someone can get it to someone with a scanner - or, you put it in the computer?
JennV: Oh. Astrological. :)
JL: Anyway, I still don't understand your chart (the CP part of it), but you are the only one I've done so far (ever) who has a PERFECT Grand Cross formation. Grand Cross does not equal CP. But I think that's the source of whateveritis that I admire so much about you -- that superb STRENGTH OF SPIRIT. Also you have the 12th House Sun and Mercury (the Mercury is the source of the CP problem but I don't understand it yet) and that is the source of that P
KLitman: then why is my life usually such a mess......
JL: So I wanted to ask your permission to use your chart to teach that Karmic Astrology seminar I have to do at Ecumenicon this year (yeah, THIS YEAR! '99 -- I already wrote the date correctly once.)
KLitman: of course. I'd love to be there, but it's unlikely
JL: I think it's the Pluto -- and I have more to say about your current and upcoming transits. We can e-talk another time -- people are arriving!
KLitman: fine....private e-mail or later will do nicely.
*** MargeR sets mode: +o Margaret-
JL: Karen -- was that "of course" reply to my request for permission?
KLitman: Yes, you have permission.
JL: OK, but I'll take your name off. (not that anyone there would likely know you)
KLitman: that I appreciate
JL: The point is the way the Grand Cross sets up a pattern of events.
JL: T-Cross examples I have galore -- only one Grand Cross
JennV: Speaking of patterns of events - if I may -
* KLitman nods
JennV: WHY is it that events which occur within my family in late January are always ON the 23rd. not NEAR, but ON.
JL: Yeah, enough chatter. Jenn?
JennV: My grandmother's sister's birthday. Joanna's birthday (Joanna was Dancer's fiancee when I met him, later married my boyfriend of the time.)
JennV: And Ken & Rich's wedding was on my 15th birthday.
DonJarami: Starting early?
DonJarami: Greetings!
JennV: And two other events which I can't think of right now. The 23rd. My birthday. Not the days around it. Just always ON it.
KLitman: Just talking for now.
JennV: Heya Don.
JL: I didn't know that. Let's see if I have the capacity to pull up my astro program. This morning it wouldn't let go of memory so I had to reboot before coming here. If I crash off, I'll be back as soon as AOL will answer the phone (AOL is my fast connection).
Margaret-: HI
DonJarami: Ahhhhhhh.......
DonJarami: Hiya!
* JennV smiles.
JennV: Doesn't have to be right now.
DonJarami: I rebooted before coming on, just to start with clean RAM.
JennV: It's just when it turned out that Ken and Rich's anniversary was the 23rd AGAIN, it became one too many and tripped my 'hey, this is NOT coincidence' alarm.
MargeR: utoh simegen.com top page is broken again
JennV: Hi Don. We're talking mysticism briefly. :)
DonJarami: GREAT!
KLitman: Don, I can send that to you later in the log.
* JennV grumps and goes and looks. What kind of broken?
DonJarami: Thanks, Karen.
KLitman: any time.
DonJarami: I think most of the people in the house are going to go out. That way they leave me to my chat. :-)
MargeR: the entry moved giff is not there it's "box" is off to the left
MargeR: there is no background color. The only other thing on the page is the last updated bar
MargeR: it looks horrid
KLitman: The only "people" here are my 7 cats. I turned off AIM, and I'm putting on my answering machine.
* JennV nods. Looks like the image has broken. I'll check the page source.
MargeR: k Just thought I would mention it.
JL: JENN'S MYSTERY SOLVED -- her sun is at 3 deg AQ and on Jan 23 the sun goes from 2AQ to 3AQ -- 2AQ is her 8th House cusp (other people's resources/ inheretance / other people's VALUES -- i.e. family shit) -- I didn't think that would be so EASY.
DonJarami: But cats can be very disruptive to keyboarding.
* JennV chokes on the page source. Gah. I can't /read/ that! Microsloth strikes again.
MargeR: oh dear hugs
KLitman: the cats are all sleeping or in another room for now
* JennV blinks at JL. So other people around me get their significant events in late January pushed around to the 23rd?
JennV: Or whatever mystical way you want to put that? :)
*** MargeR sets mode: +o Seanara
Seanara: Hi, folks
MargeR: Hi Coyote
KLitman: Hello again. Haven't seen you in a while G:
DonJarami: Hi Coyote!
Seanara: About eight or nine hours, is it? g:
Margaret-: hi
JL: simegen.com top page has not been UPDATED OR UPLOADED recently -- how could it get broken?
Seanara: Hi, Don!
MargeR: Yawn! Anybody care if I go back to bed? Been up since 6 AM
DonJarami: We thought we'd better get to bed so we could be up by Chat.
KLitman: Hey Marge, I didn't hit the pillow until 4:30
MargeR: bad girl
Seanara: Ditto here
KLitman: naah. You know me by now.
JennV: I don't know, JL.
MargeR: I got up early to fight with Geocities....
KLitman: Talking to people....since we weren't gaming last night
JennV: I can look into it later.
MargeR: Sorry to spoil your night Jenn, but I thought you would want to know
DonJarami: The page looks ok to me.
JL: Jenn -- well, they are karmically related to you. But it's more that you NOTICE than that they HAPPEN TO THEM. But a family group is usually karmically interlinked -- I call it karmic velcro.
* JennV shrugs. "it's not strictly my problem, unless it /is/ a server fault.
* JennV nods to JL. "That makes sense."
JL: I woke UP at 4 AM.
KLitman: poor JL, I didn't go to sleep until 4:30
JL: Whoever had the problem with simegen.com top page, go reload or refresh and tell me what happens.
JL: I doubt there's anything to look into - just a random problem. But I'll take care of it.
MargeR: If I had an ounce of brains I would go back to bed, since at 5 I have to go out our 22nd facility and start some tandem backups gag!
JennV: Ok. Refresh the page..
JL: "Karmic velcro" is what i call it when a series of mid-point trees are interlaced between two or more people.
KLitman: JL --You should realize by now that you're giving me a computer was one of the "worst" things you could have done
JL: I don't know any astrological researcher who is studying MIDPOINT RELATIONSHIPS between people, and I won't be that person -- trust me on that.
DonJarami: Uh oh...
JL: I'm getting that impression, Karen -- it changed your life. Do we know a DATE when that happened? I don't. Except it was before Katie's wedding.
MargeR: I did a reload its still broken
KLitman: Shore Leave con of 1996, that weekend of the hurricane.
KLitman: I think it was 96
JL: The image-icon is broken, Marge?
JL: Does the LINK under that image work?
* JennV sighs. "Ok Marge. We'll figure /something/ out."
MargeR: no the link doesn't work either
MargeR: I looked at the code. The link not working makes no sense. it looks coded right to me. But then I can look right at a massive typo and not see it. Sigh
JL: I see the entry-moved gif and it's "rightclick" shows it is ON simegen.com itself.
JL: And the link-click takes you to Eliza's top page.
JL: Karen - '96 sounds right.
DonJarami: Which code isn't working?
KLitman: yes..... you can look up the date for Shore Leave then.
MargeR: hum wonder why it's not working for me
* JennV shakes her head. "The page isn't working for me, either."
DonJarami: By link under the image, do you mean the link when clicking the first image?
JennV: And I don't know Microsoft's style-sheet code well enough to figure out why it isn't working. But then, I haven't looked at this top page before.
KLitman: JL --- Mike Giroux brought this computer to me in August of 97
JL: Oh, Karen -- that was exactly when Saturn trined your Sun -- you were DUE for a boost. (and more responsibility)
* KLitman needs to go and hide.
JL: And URANUS (all things electrical) was exactly conj your Mars which rules your 4th -- Things Electrical brought HOME.
DonJarami: Why, Karen?
KLitman: Like you didn't give me enough to do BEFORE
JennV: So I'd say this page probably never worked for this browser. Another Microsoft success!!!!
MargeR: The code looks right to me as far as the link is concerned. The img has some stuff I don't understand but that shouldn't affect the link itself
JL: Yes, Don -- I meant what happens when you click the missing-image rectangle.
MargeR: It was working fine for me the other day
JL: I have the link fully operational. I just checked it on AOL's browser.
JennV: Oh well. I can't figure it out without sitting down and fighting it. The permissions are right on the server.
JennV: So it's not an easy problem. I can *either* be at the chat, *or* try and figure it out.
JennV: Ok. If it works for some browsers, it's not a server problem. It's got to be in the page. I think.
MargeR: If I left click to get the popup menu I can look at the image which makes no sense at all
KLitman: I'd say figure it out later....
JL: I bet Marge is just not fully loading the page somehow.
* JennV screams and leaves.
MargeR: I did a reload twice
JL: Marge, what happens when you right-click to look at the code under the page?
MargeR: You don't do that with netscape I have a menu option for viewing page source
JL: I think Jenn is real TIRED -- this is a ridiculous time for her, and she's spent three days making URLS for us.
MargeR: a right click normally brings up the link but I'm not seeing the link
JL: Well, what does the page-source view say to you? It should look okay.
MargeR: that's the puzzling part. The a href statement looks ok to me.
KLitman: The simegen.com page loads fine in AOL's browser. I'm checking netscape now
JL: Hi Jenn - Marge is using Netscape.
Paulab: Hi Guys! Happy New Year!!
JL: Hi Paulab -- who are you? This is Jacqueline Lichtenberg
MargeR: Hi Liza
LadyEliza: good morning
Paulab: Why JL I'm a hughe SG Fan! Wonderful to say HI!
JennV: Guys, I *cannot* fix it in five minutes. It looks like the sort of problem which would take step-by-step studying of the page to figure out. OR rewriting it without using one of the page editing programs that puts so much spurious code in.
Margaret-: hi
KLitman: Netscape does have the broken link.... definately
JennV: So please, either drop the subject or reassure me that noone expects ME to do something about it NOW.
MargeR: I hate those
Paulab: Hi Margaret, How are you?
* JennV waves to Paulah.
MargeR: we don't want you to fix it now
JL: Jenn - Marge was seeing the image before and the link -- it just disappeared, but the page hasn't been altered since the 30th.
JennV: Thank you.
Margaret-: fine Paulab
LadyEliza: we don't expect you to do anything about it now
LadyEliza: what are you talking about?
LadyEliza: lol
Paulab: Margaret, Still with WVU?
KLitman: It may have something to do with Netscape.... because it works right in AOL's browser.
MargeR: It was fine say 3 days ago...I think....unless it was at work I was looking at it I have IE there
*** tarana (kayte@pm3b-197.dynam.WaveTech.net) has joined #sgtalk
JennV: Jacqueline, I heard you. I looked for the obvious causes - server problems - and found none. I have no earthly idea what is wrong.
Margaret-: Yes
JL: Hi Eliza -- we were talking astrology and page design.
*** KLitman sets mode: +o tarana
DonJarami: Hi Eliza! Hi Paulab! Hi Tarana!
JL: SOMEONE START LOGGING THIS -- IT'S PAST 2PM IN NEW YORK.
MargeR: Forget about it for now Jenn. After a good sleep it will come to you
Seanara: I'm logging
KLitman: I've been logging....!!
JennV: Karen's been logging. :)
MargeR: Karen and I both are Relax Sectuib
JL: Jenn - we'll debug page-image another time.
Seanara: ~~soothing nager~~
* JennV waves to tarana
DonJarami: I'm logging too.
kayte: Hi!
LadyEliza: they are connected?
JL: Page-image is not Jenn's problem since it's not a server problem. Marge and I will fix it.
JennV: Ok. Thanks.
MargeR: We will???????? Shen Sectuib I have enough trouble with my own pages...
JL: GOOD - we need more than one person logging in case people lose the connection. A continuous log can be recreated somehow if we grab it all.
DonJarami: Hi logging, decided to finally leave the Headwaters Forest? ;-)
LadyEliza: I'd say that several people are JL
KLitman: I have two windows logging at one time Jacqueline.
* JennV relaxes, and settles down to listen. It's start-of-official-business-time, yes? Or do we wait to see if other people come on in?
JL: Jean isn't here yet.
KLitman: On two different drives, and two different servers
LadyEliza: I mean that several people are logging - not that several people are JL
* JennV thumps forehead with hand. Waits for Jean. :)
MargeR: its only 6 after and Tigues aren't noted for being on time WEG
LadyEliza: Don't worry about it jl :)
DonJarami: Several people are JL? It reminds me that my ex wife thought a certain SF author was actually a Wiccan coven writing as a group.
Logging: shusssh - I'm working
KLitman: Jean signed on last night to check her connections, because I talked with her.
JL: Hmmm -- that's a point. On the other hand, she's using heliographics instead of the net these days.
MargeR: Gee you mean this isn't a cult?
Seanara: Who was that author, Don?
Seanara: Not the Farrars?
LadyEliza: maybe she slept in? oh - it's day there isn't it
LadyEliza: there she is
JL: Ah Jean!!!!
DonJarami: Speak of the Tigue!
MargeR: Hi Jean
JL: Good now we can start the official MEETING.
Jean1: Hi
JennV: SPeak of the TIGUE?
JL: Everyone finish saying hello and settle into your seats for the duration.
Jean1: Took me a bit to get connected
* Paulab waves and settles down.
DonJarami: No, Seanara. I forget the author, but she's married to Robert Asprin, so unless RA is married to a Wiccan Coven, the author is actually a single person. :-)
* Seanara laughs
JL: I hereby call to order the THIRD OFFICIAL Chat of Sime~Gen ONLINE -- SILENCE EVERYONE.
* JennV marries a Wiccan Coven.
JL: Check your email -- I just posted to the List a copy of the list of NOMINATIONS for Awards. Our first order of business because it's the most important item is AWARDS for all these hard working folks.
* Jean1 Meeting comes to order
JL: We have at least 3 separate awards to Award (non-competitively) -- The Digen, The Nager, and The Techton
JL: Nominations are now in order for THE 1999 DIGEN AWARD FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICE
Logging: Shane Miller
JL: Do I hear any nominations?
JL: (I can't see your hands go up unless you type something)
LadyEliza: errr - Shane Miller
* JennV raises a hand.
JL: Shane Miller is added to the nominations. (who is Shane Miller -- Eliza's brother?)
JL: Jenn?
MargeR: Is this in addition to the nominations in your message?
LadyEliza: Clarification needed = whats the nager award?
JL: And includes Nominations in my message -- which were mostly by me and Karen.
LadyEliza: yes - my brother
JennV: Dancer. I know he technically comes under 'techton', but he's also heroically put up with a lot for the RPG.
JL: Eliza -- see your Listmail. Ah, yes, OK, one of my additions to the nominations was "Eliza's brother" but I didn't know the name.
JennV: "he's STILL not reread the 'old' S~G books OR read the 'new' ones, specifically so that he faces his First Reader job for the RPG without knowing & understanding the world completely.
JL: OK, so far in nomination for the Digen we have Shane Miller and Dancer Vesperman
JennV: And somehow, despite that, manages to help solve technical hassles for the RPG & suchlike.
* KLitman suggests you also remember our original YoYo awards the zines gave out
Logging: John Cowan for a Yoyo for CZ
JL: Nominations still open for the Digen Award. There are two in Nomination -- are there any additions? The List of meritorious servants is quite long. Any further additions?
* JennV grins. "Mind you, he's VERY appreciative of his nice new copy of City of a Million Legends." :)
JL: Current nominations are for the Digen only.
* Seanara nominates Karen Litman for her help to beginning writers
JL: Karen Litman -- is there a second? (one assumed Shane and Dancer got seconded -- shouldn't have -- now we have three nominees, do we have 3 seconds?
Jean1: Here is the list:
JennV: Do you need people from the email re-nominated?

* JennV laughs. "I'll second Karen's nomination of RBW, then."
* Seanara nominates Don for his work on Rathor
JennV: "I'll also nominate Torun. I'd rather not nominate any of the Worldcon folks, I wasn't there.
JL: Do I hear a second for Don?

JL: TECHTON AWARD is for service in creating and making available our technical tools (such as our server, the search engine, our private chatroom, the Bulletin Boards).

ECJB: I can't say who to vote for without having gone through all the material, so I must decline, as a loyal fan...

* JennV understands, Eric.
KLitman: I already mentioned that Eric.

JL: Karen - you had a nomination?
LadyEliza: aye for Gossie
Margaret-: hi Leigh
KLitman: Who is responsible for my sitting here for the past week...... ECJB helped me get the monitor

LadyEliza: Kaas for creating the serch engine
LadyEliza: Fishy seconded it

* Jean1 sends a nageric WAKE UP to JL
kayte: what is the Silver Yoyo for? (for those of us who are new to the SG fan community)
Jean1: It's not crosstalk,
KLitman: I did that nomination more than once.

LadyEliza: JL - is lagged
JL: Eric Berlin is nominated for the Silver Yo-Yo (a CZ award) for getting Karen's monitor.
JennV: Kayte: while we wait for JL to unlag. The Silver Yoyo is an award for service to .. I think to one of the fanzines. Karen?
JL: Do I hear a second?
JennV: Second.
JL: The Yo-Yo awards are for tasks that end up in a lot of backing and forthing.
LadyEliza: second
JL: Someone else want to chair this vote?
bgray: nominate JennV for YoYo award
KLitman: Just wait for the lag to clear
JennV: AH
JL: Jean - if you're not lagged go ahead and collect votes on Eric Berlin, then we'll go back and add to the TECHTON vote if necessary.
JL: It's out of order, but what-the-hey this is FANDOM.
* JennV blinks at Bruce.
JennV: I /was/ going to volunteer to chair this vote, but I'm not sure I should.
JennV: Not if I'm one of the nominees. Jean? Do you want to chair this one?
Jean1: I'm back
Jean1: Was trying to get through privately.
ECJB: Back...
Jean1: Jacqueline seems to be out of it.
Margaret-: Jean, JL wants you to chair this vote, then backtrack to Techton
JennV: Jean: we're collecting nominations for Silver Yoyo. We have Eric, for Karen's monitor, and me - nominated, no second, by Bgray.
JennV: The intent is then to backtrack and pick up Kaas for the Techton for the Search engine.
