Hey Rick,

didn't see much of you lately here [or anywhere ;-)], so I hope you are in
a good shape and can celebrate your birthday, old man.

I also sent him a copy of this birthday article. No bouncer yet, but he
might be very busy.

Indeed, he is missed and we would like an update as to Mom's health.
Here is hoping everything is going better than expected!

Oh yeah, and Happy B-Day ol' buddy.

Indeed. The way I figure, when we hear more from him here we'll know
everything is as it should be.

That all seems to be very hard for you and your mom. I don't know if i
could cope with that all. :-(

I hope you and your mom are strong.

I'll follow in July being 39. May be one day I catch up with your age. ;-)

Many thanks DD! Interestingly enough, I tried just the other day, but
I found mIRC is shareware and it expired on me.

Anyone know of a good freeware IRC client so I can pop into
#tombstones?

Thanks again, Dave! Hope all is well with you and the lass.

You can use mirc eben it expired.

Then there is also the text mode client irssi for Windows.

Firefox has an extension called Chatzilla. I don't know how extensive
it is<G>, but the price is right.....

It's not bad. For a chatter which does not need special "magic|. Though
there is an FAQ where you can tune it, that it uses scripts and stuff.

@ Rick. when you join #tombstones it asks you to register your nick. It
prints out how to do this. It's like

/msg nickserv REGISTER password email

You get it mail which explains that you also need to confirm it. After
that you can log in by doing

/msg nickserv IDENTIFY password

For not typing it in every time you can tell Chatzilla to do this
automatically on start. Explained in the FAQ at
<http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/faq/chatzilla-faq.html> at
"autoperform".
