It's that time of year again folks.
MWSF!
Come and join us at the Hotline chat server for updates, speculation, rants and raves during the keynote address!
Or just chat about whatever.
Past hotline MWSF invites have had over 50 users at one time.
If you're already familiar with Hotline
Leave name blank.
address is macresource.no-ip.org
(the older dealmac addy still works also)
If it's your first time with hotline
The instructions are pretty simple, but you've got to follow them carefully.
The first step is to Download a Client.
I'd suggest Hotline for OS 9 or Windows
OS 9 http://www.tucows.com/preview/203784
Windows http://www.tucows.com/preview/193834
And for OS X, Frogblast works quite well.
OS X http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19666
Alright, now that you have a client, instal/copy to your hard drive.
Launch the client application.
Hotline will go through basic setup, then connect to the community server. This is NOT the macresource.com server.)
(In Frogblast you'll want to go to the Frogblast menu and choose the preferences, then fill in your default name [preferably your forum ID].)
Now it's time to Connect to the Server...
In Hotline:
Hotline menu -> Connect (Command+K for macs, Control+K for PCs)
In Frogblast:
Connection menu -> New Connection = Command+K )
You should now have a little window up asking you for Login info .
You'll want to enter in the Server Address :
macresource.no-ip.org
Then hit enter/return to login.
You should now have a large, mostly blank window in front. This is the public chat window. Say hi here and you should be welcomed by all the others in the server.
Hope to see you there!
