Ok, guys.. here we go again. The last scheduled chat was fun. The people who missed it were bummed out, so.. So, don't be a bum! Be in the chat with us on Saturday from 9pm to 11pm EST (6/24/06)
If your friends have tegus or are interested in reptiles at all, feel free to invite them. I am sure there will be lots of tegu discussion, but we will discuss any herp topic of interest.
You can get into the chatroom via the "Tegu Chat (IRC)" link on the top left. Note that you may have to allow pop-ups for our site and server. You may also need the latest Java version installed on your computer. You can find info on how to do that in this post...
Also, you may choose to chat through the Herp Sites Network directly by clicking on http://chat.herpsites.net - Type in your username and click "TheTegu Chat", then press the "Connect to HerpSites Chat" button.
Note that you do NOT need to be a registered member to chat with us through the Herp Sites Network chat server.
If you want to use a standalone application like mIRC (www.mirc.com) worley has posted a nice tutorial below...

I will be there with bells on, Rick!
How To Configure mIRC
First you're going to need the latest version of mIRC, go to www.mirc.com and download it there. Once you have it downloaded, run the program and ignore any pop-ups in the program when you first run it. mIRC is a free program and you can still use it after the 30 days, you will just have to ignore the pop up asking you to buy.
First, go to Tools then Options and you'll see a list of various collapsed selections with a + sign next to them. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this type of window, simply click the + to expand them and you will get a drop down list of more options. There are many servers and channels (chat rooms) but we are going to configure mIRC to access the SorceryNet server and tweak a few handy options but the process is the same for any server.
Now that you have the Options open the first thing you need to do is setup your identity. Simply click the + sign next to Connect, fill out your name, E-Mail address and put in the nickname you want to be known by when chatting (this you can change later while in a channel at any time by typing /nick nickname)
Next click on Servers under Connect and you'll see two drop down menus. For our purposes here we are going to select All for the IRC Network and Sorcerynet: US, CA, Palo Alto for the IRC Server. If for some reason you do not see this one listed click on Add and a small Add Server box will pop up.
In the first box put Sorcerynet: US, CA, Palo Alto
In the second box put kechara.sorcery.net
In the third box put 6667,7000,9000
In the fourth box put Sorcerynet
Then click Ok but do not click Connect To Server just yet as we are going to configure a few more things first. Next click on Options under Servers and put a checkmark in every box except "Pop up connect dialog on startup."
Then click on Perfom to open up another small box with a few more options. Here is where you can set mIRC to automatically join any channel and to automatically log you in if you have registered your nickname on NickServ with a password. Simply put a checkmark in the box "Enable perform on connect" and in the white box type /join #channel replacing channel with the channel name (ie: #thetegu) and hit enter for a new line to add more channels. If you have a registered nickname the first line in this box should be /ns id nickname password (ie: /ns id Bob 1234)
Once you have added any channels you would like to auto-join on startup click Ok. Now click on the + next to IRC and put a checkmark in "Rejoin channel when kicked" and "Rejoin channels on connect" boxes. This will automatically rejoin you to the channel if you are kicked by a channel Operator (fun when you are playing around)
Warning: Some channel Operators do not like the rejoin when kicked option and will ban you for using it if they kick you for idling.
Now you are ready to join SorceryNet and start chatting. Go back up to Servers, verify that the IRC Server drop down menu lists Sorcerynet: US, CA, Palo Alto and the IRC Network says All. Once verified click on Connect To Server (Note: If you are already using mIRC and chat on other servers make sure you select "New sever window" first before clicking connect.
You are now connected to the network and if no channels popped up simply type /join #channel in the SorceryNet server window to join the channel. _________________ Kris, Herps they're not just a hobby, they're a way of life!
