  gypsycaine says, HI!
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, boldface!
gypsycaine :.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._
gypsycaine :              Hello!
gypsycaine :.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, supersize!
  gypsycaine says, did it increase the size of my font for you too?
  gypsycaine says, Ok, another test
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, What is it, 16 point?
  gypsycaine says, actually, yes it is.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and then one in Gothic
harry_potter00 enters
  gypsycaine says, "old english"
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Scott
€  harry_potter00 says, Hi
  gypsycaine says, Hi Scott!
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I put a msg on HPfG giving you 
message #s on hpa for info on prefects
€  harry_potter00 says, Thanks I was looking for it...
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, tell ifyou don't have Web access,
I 
could forward the forward the msgs as e-mail
  gypsycaine says, i too was looking, thanks.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee. I went on e-group to try to
look 
at chat scripts by clicking on them
  gypsycaine says, perhaps a different font is in order.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and there were like 200 lines of
html 
before the first word of chat 
  gypsycaine says, what?
  gypsycaine blinks....
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and like 60 letters of html
before 
each letter
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Like opening an html document in 
notepadl
€  harry_potter00 says, I've not looked for the chat transcripts
yet
  gypsycaine says, did you just download them?
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't want to have to download
them 
in order to read them with word, I want to be able to read them with 
Netscape Browser
  gypsycaine says, I didn't save them as webpages, just text.
  gypsycaine says, i bet that if I go back, and save them as 
webpages, that'll work.
  gypsycaine says, I'll also post them in the main message area.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I suspect that saaving them as
Rich 
Text saves all the html as looking like text strings
€  harry_potter00 says, I've gotta go, be back later...
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Main message area? Which e-group,
the 
chat script one you created?
  gypsycaine says, ok.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, by Scott
  gypsycaine says, yah.
harry_potter00 leaves
  gypsycaine says, ok, i also have two tarot egroups running, too, if 
you're interested?
  gypsycaine says, I can post the url real quick here.
  gypsycaine says, http://www.egroups.com/group/Walker_Tarot
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee, was it in last week's chat
that 
you were telling some complicated explanation of Ian's name, about 
his father being married and the wife choosing the name>???
  gypsycaine says, yes, it was.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I didn't understand the
narravtive at 
all
  gypsycaine says, it's ok.
  gypsycaine says, those of us are a bit confused by it too who lived 
it.
  gypsycaine says, the other URL. Interested, but X-rated.
  gypsycaine says, 
http://www.egroups.com/group/Sexual_Keys_to_the_Tarot
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I used to be in APA-TAROT (an APA
is 
an old fashioned mimeographed version of e-group) but got burned out 
on it
  gypsycaine says, they're quiet ones.
  gypsycaine says, mainly I post a chapter, and no one responds.
  gypsycaine says, so i post another chapter.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Do they read them?
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Is there a way to see if posted
files 
get hits?
  gypsycaine says, I know some of the people do.
  gypsycaine says, Smiles.
  gypsycaine says, i don't know. I am still new to egroups.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I posted my first fanfic since
junior 
hi and no one e-mailed me that it was good or bad or too American or 
insulting to the characters to think that they would behave like that
  gypsycaine says, i am avoiding fanfics until I finish ASA~
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, So I whined 'no one read my fic'
and 
Neil replied that he had read it but didn't have time to comment
  gypsycaine says, and the few other ones I copy/pasted.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, If I had such a thing as time, I 
might join the PoU group and see whether other people's comments on 
the story as the same as mine  
  gypsycaine says, that's interesting.  When I clicked on the text-
file in hp4gucg, it opened as a webpage.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, or I might read the latest two,
three 
issues of SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN that are lying on my desk
triner2001 enters
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Trina
  gypsycaine says, i picked up Neverwhere.
  gypsycaine says, hi!
triner2001 says, Hello all
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee, I will try to view that file
in 
chatgroup, I had tried in HPfG's files section
  gypsycaine says, I'll play with it, too.
triner2001 says, It's sort of empty here today.  Everyone must be 
watching the Olympics
  gypsycaine says, I know a few folks said they wouldn't be able to 
make it.
triner2001 says, I probably won't stay long, I  have stuff to do for 
school tomorrow
  gypsycaine says, i will keep a copy, trina...
triner2001 says, Hwo are y'all today?
  gypsycaine says, just in case you miss anything *winks
triner2001 says, How not hwo
  gypsycaine says, pretty good.
  gypsycaine says, Ian just woke up. Sighs.
triner2001 says, both the cats are sleeping and the Dudders is not on 
the 'puter desk for once!
triner2001 says, He makes it so hard to type
  gypsycaine says, so does Ian.
  gypsycaine says, and he's three.
  gypsycaine grins.
triner2001 says, LOL
  gypsycaine says, trying to fix that problem as we speak.
  gypsycaine says, Just don't dl any mail from Chatscripts, they're 
gonna be huge.
triner2001 says, dl?
  gypsycaine says, download.
  gypsycaine says, like what folks with Juno-mail.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, The file on Chatgroup looks like
a 
bunch of html or something, too. Are you viewing it with IE instead 
of Netscape?
triner2001 says, lthanks, sometimes abbreviations confuzzle me
  gypsycaine says, yes, ie 5.5
  gypsycaine says, i'm going to cut and paste the whole thing to CS.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I just figured out that the name 
Gryffindor is a merger of GRUFFYDD (Griffith) and GLYNDWR 
(glendower). Both are Welsh names.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, It makes a lot more sense for him
to 
Welsh than Norman (Gryphon d'Or, golden griffin) since Hogwarts was 
founded over 1000 years ago
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, that is, no later than 990 CE (AD)
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and the Norman Conquest wasn't
until 
1066
triner2001 says, Where does everyone get the time to do all this 
research?
triner2001 grins
  gypsycaine says, i don't have time for anything anymore.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, --- a recent retrospective on the 
Battle of Britain said Churchill's speech encouaged the people by 
recalling a thousand yaers of English history
triner2001 says, Me neither, just keeping up with the daily messages 
is a job in itself
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and I commented that that would
NOT 
be encouraging, going back 1000 goes back to a time when England was 
repeatedly nvaded and conquered
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, but they played the sound bite
from 
the  speech and he really only went back 500 years, to Spanish Armada
peeves23 enters
peeves23 says, hi
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, DEE, you have time to be in one 
million e-groups and Yahoo-clubs, I certainly dont have time for that 
many!
triner2001 says, hello
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Jeremy
peeves23 says, hi... i've forgotten your name.  
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Catlady
peeves23 says, i know gypsy is dee, though. ok. catlady.  
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, (in RL it's Rita)
  gypsycaine says, that's the problem.
  gypsycaine says, too much computer.  
  gypsycaine says, wb peeves
  gypsycaine says, sorry, was doing dishes earlier.
peeves23 says, ah  
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, yes -- that's why I'm so behind
on 
reading my magazines
triner2001 says, I need to do laundry myself
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, good magazines, like BIBLICAL 
ARCHAEOLOGY REVIEW
triner2001 says, Nothing that intellectual comes to my house, 
catlady  
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think that the surnames of the 
Hogwarts founders weren't family names, as family names hadn't been 
invented yet
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, (for example, Wendilyn the Weird 
rather than Wendilyn Weisenheimer as the witch whom Harry's history 
textbook said had been burned 47 times)
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think the surnames were
nicknames 
that their associates had given them
  gypsycaine says, Rita, you might be interested in the Walker 
group.  There's alot of English/European history in these chapters, 
all pagan related.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, TIME!!!!!
triner2001 says, Meaning that Salazar was snake-like and slithered 
around?
  gypsycaine says, you'd fit right in. *grins.
peeves23 says, oops, dinnertime
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, TOO MANY GROUPS ALL READY!
  gypsycaine says, all you do is get an email a week.
peeves23 says, bye, room, will probably be back in wee bit
peeves23 says, aurevoir
  gypsycaine says, or two.
peeves23 leaves
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yeah, I think Salazar was named
by 
people who had done business with him (but at least not died)
triner2001 says, Do you think Salazar put the Basilisk in the CoS?
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think Helga was named by her 
childhood 'friends' because of the way she huffed and puffed after 
doing all her family's heavy housework before her mother even woke up
triner2001 says, Plannning for a time in which the wizarding blood 
was ":muddied" by impure Muggle blood?
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, (hard work being a Huufflepuff
trait)
p_dumbledore enters
triner2001 says, Hey there
  gypsycaine says, hi
+ p_dumbledore says, Good afternoon or evening !!
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think Salazar put the Basilisk
in 
Mrs. Murphy's chowder, I mean the Chamber of Secrets,
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Dennis
  gypsycaine wonders if you were tormented with Dennie too?
+ p_dumbledore says, Yes, for years when younger
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Was it in the canon or a fanfic
that 
a teacher explaining the CoS said that Slytherin had quarrelled with 
the other three FOunders because they wanted to admit Muggle-born 
studnets
+ p_dumbledore says, be back in a few.. sorry to logon and run.. 
trying to fix Dianns computer
  gypsycaine says, it was the ghost teacher in CoS
  gypsycaine says, ack. my brain is fogged today.  I can't recall the 
name.  Bims?
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Bi n n s
  gypsycaine says, good luck with computer!
  gypsycaine says, i swear, Ohio weather is horrid.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, In the font that e-groups uses to 
show the beginning of the edress of the person who posted the msg, m 
and m and r all look alike 
  gypsycaine says, if you like seasons, come visit.  All 4 in one day.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, What is your Ohio weather doing?
My 
So Cal weather had a heat wave at the beginning of this week
  gypsycaine says, 55-60.
  gypsycaine says, lovely sinus weather.  Either your nose is 
running, or you have a splitting headache.
  gypsycaine says, I got lucky.
  gypsycaine says, the headache.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I was roasting on my bus stop
(5-ish 
pm) when the radio said it was 103 in Burbank, and I rejoiced that at 
least I wasn't in Burbank
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, By Friday it down to 99 in Burbank
triner2001 says, It's nice here today, high60's low 70's
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, And I complained that it is after
the 
middle of September and should stop having heat waves
  gypsycaine says, where trina?
  gypsycaine says, we complained too.
triner2001 says, South Carolina
  gypsycaine says, that's why we got the 50's.
  gypsycaine says, sighs.
  gypsycaine tosses a colon up there.
  gypsycaine says, i would love SC I think.
  gypsycaine says, people keep tellling me such good things about it, 
except for the hurricanes.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I LIKE temps in 60s, that lets me 
wear long sleeves
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, But I don't like having rain fall
on 
me when I'm at the bus stop
triner2001 says, But it'll be rainy after the Hurricaine makes 
landfall in FL
  gypsycaine says, long sleeves?  Looks at her finally putting sweats 
on as a sign of crisper weather, loL!
triner2001 says, and moves north
  gypsycaine says, we'll get at least some of the rain.
  gypsycaine is still in her t-shirt.
triner2001 says, But today is nice
  gypsycaine says, (with window opened..)
triner2001 says, I went walking earlier in sweats and wasn't too hot
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Send your rain here. The plants 
always need it.
  gypsycaine says, good lord, these chat scripts are taking forever 
to upload to the post.
  gypsycaine says, i really wish I could have plants.
  gypsycaine says, i miss a backyard.
triner2001 says, All my windows are open too, Dee
triner2001 says, No plant's, the cats dig in them and chew on them
  gypsycaine says, i haven't opened the one beside me yet--my son 
keeps trying to hang out that one (couch backs it)
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Altho' the horrible traffic jam
that 
happens whenever it rains wouldn't be a good combination with 
tomorrow being the first working day of our transit strike
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Tim will have to drive me to work
  gypsycaine says, transit strike?
  gypsycaine says, ack.
  gypsycaine says, ours will be next November.
triner2001 says, Well, all, I think I'll get to cleaning house, oh 
the joy
  gypsycaine says, ok.
  gypsycaine says, i'll save the script!
triner2001 says, Since I don't have a house-elf
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Bye, Trina 
triner2001 says, I may pop back in later
  gypsycaine says, i realllllly want a house-elf.
  gypsycaine says, i don't cook, or clean, well.
triner2001 leaves
  gypsycaine says, my mind is too busy doing other mental work.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, we all want a House Elf
  gypsycaine says, (you ever seen Beauty and the Beast?
  gypsycaine says, I make a good combination between Maurice and 
Belle)
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I dind't see it, I've heard about
it
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, How might Ravenclaw have gotten
that 
name?
  gypsycaine says, she transfigured into a Raven?
p_dumbledore is away (Auto-Away)
  gypsycaine says, (perhaps she harassed Poe, lol)
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Sitting on a bust of Pallas in a 
library might fit in with being a scholar
  gypsycaine chuckles.
+ p_dumbledore says, I'm back, and it's not fixed.  Tried to add hard 
disk (larger) but apparetnly the new Windows Me won't let you do this 
using the software supplied from hard disk manufacturer..  ARRRHHHH!
p_dumbledore is back.
+ p_dumbledore says, Put everything back, and Diann should be here 
soon.
  gypsycaine says, ohhhhh
  gypsycaine says, i am not upgrading.98se is fine.
+ p_dumbledore says, It' won't even let you create a system disk, you 
can only create a boot disk with all the crap on it..
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Someone on one of my other lists
said 
today that Microsoft's latest scheme is to say if you have Office on 
a home computer and both you and your spouse use that computer, you 
need TWO LICENSES
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, License PER USER, not per CPU or
per 
concurrent user
  gypsycaine says, good grief.
  gypsycaine says, btw, anyone know what this means?
  gypsycaine says, [p_errorhandler.c:31] Program Initialization Error
+ p_dumbledore says, It means it's time to load Linux on your 
computer...  
dee_97527 enters
dee_97527 says, Howdy
  gypsycaine says, hi!
  gypsycaine says, I got that from egroups!
  gypsycaine says, not from my computer.
  gypsycaine says, I broke egroups, lol
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, DiannI 
+ p_dumbledore says, I did have a concern that since the new Me had 
the network stuff in it that it might look at all machines on the net 
and if it found two with same serial number it would not let that 
machine on.
  gypsycaine says, ack
+ p_dumbledore says, Oh, Well, so have we decided who Ms. Figg is and 
how she has been protecthing Harry or if she has been ?
  gypsycaine says, I have heard all sorts of nasty things about ME.  
The only thing I have is the wallpaper!
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, No, I was holding forth on the 
surnames of the Hogwarts FOudners
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, (When Lee Mentioned Microsoft Me,
at 
first I thought she was joking. I said 'Gilderoy Lockharthi
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Lockhart's autobiography)
dee_97527 says, ME did fix the orginal problem I was having with my 
computer though, now if we can get this other fixed
+ p_dumbledore says, So do we have all the surnames ?
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, First, I think they are not
family 
names because family names weren't invented yet
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, They are epithets or nicknames 
assigned by their associates
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Salazar was named Slytherin by
people 
who had done business with him (they may have been the lucky ones: 
they survived)
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hufflepuff was named by her 
childhood 'friends' because she huffed and puffed after doing all her 
family's heavy housework before her mother even woke up (Hard work is 
a Hufflepuff trait)
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't know how Ravenclaw got
that 
name -- Dee suggested she nmight have been a raven Animagus 
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and pestered Poe -- pearching on
a 
bust of Pallas in a library would suit her  scholarliness
+ p_dumbledore says, ha ha!!  Right !!
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I just figured out this week that
the 
name Gryffindor is a merger of GRUFFYDD(Griffith) and GLYNDWR 
(glendower). Both are Welsh names.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and it makes a lot more sense for
him 
to be Welsh
+ p_dumbledore says, speaking of error messages, I just got one that 
said  *** General Chat Error ???
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, than Norman (Gryphon d'Or, golden 
griffin)
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, since Hogwarts was found 'over a 
thousand years ago' that is, no later than 990, and the Norman 
Conquest wasn't until 1066
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, But my friend Lee thinks
Gryffindor 
is pronounced Gryffinder (like Jim Dale does) and means 'griffin 
finder'

anyway? 
dee_97527 is away (Auto-Away)
  gypsycaine says, that's the Nick sending me copies and such in the

  gypsycaine says, it's the only one that doesn't like uploading.

evening,

€  Aberforths_Goat says, hi dee!

  gypsycaine says, I liked some of your comments last week, btw.
€  Aberforths_Goat says, thanks!
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I bookmarked that Message page
€  Aberforths_Goat says, What an honor!
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Does anyone have a theory on what 
is 'warlock' in HP universe? 
€  Aberforths_Goat says, They sometimes seem to be less refined
than 
wizards 
gypsycaine throws her head back, cackling with glee.
gypsycaine chuckles in amusement.
gypsycaine cheers enthusiastically.
  gypsycaine says, YEAH!
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, There were 'rowdy warlocks' in
bar in 
PoA, yes
  gypsycaine says, it worked!
€  Aberforths_Goat says, But Dumledore is also president of the 
warlock's convention
€  Aberforths_Goat says, What worked??
€  Aberforths_Goat says, (or dare I ask?)
  gypsycaine says, are you a member of CS?
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, And the guy Arthur borrowed the 3-
rrom-flat tent from is 'an old warlock'
  gypsycaine says, hp4gucs?

crowd?
foxdancer16 says, No...

of 
the foudners of Hogwarts again?
foxdancer16 says, arghh, sorry to go in the middle of a conversation, 
but I need to go

foxdancer16 leaves
flying_ford_anglia says, See you
€  gypsycaine says, bb!
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I scared her off (her?).
flying_ford_anglia says, The surnames...?
flying_ford_anglia says, I think she's a girl
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I emailed you abaout Gryffindor
and 
HufflepuffI 
flying_ford_anglia says, Maybe not
peeves23 says, she is
flying_ford_anglia says, I saw that
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee suggested that Ravenclaw was
a 
rave Animagus
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, and pestered Poe. 
flying_ford_anglia says, I still like my wolf theory - but I'll keep 
it to myself I think
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, ---------- perching on a bust of 
Pallas in a library suits her scholarliness.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Maybe she was just trying to
scare 
Poe away so she could transform back into human and read the books
flying_ford_anglia says, I'm sure they didn't choose the names Helga 
and Rowena - I mean...
flying_ford_anglia says, who would
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Helga the Dane, from the Danelaw
flying_ford_anglia says, ?
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Rowena the Saxon
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Gruffydd the Waugh (from Wales)

BEHAVED

be a 
Scot amng the foudners
 nightfall06 is now away.
 nightfall06 is back.
flying_ford_anglia says, The fifth founder?
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Like the 5th Marauder
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, ------- I think Rowena is a 
relatively pretty name (it starts with R which is always a good start)
peeves23 says, I have to say I disagree with you there - quite 
clunky, in my humble opinion
flying_ford_anglia says, The Sorting Hat - who was tragically turned 
into a hat.  His real name is Angus Abroath
peeves23 says, lol
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, He SAID he was Gryffindor's hat
flying_ford_anglia says, He did?
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, In his song in GoF
flying_ford_anglia says, Yes - he did
Your buddy oakswillows is on pager

both objects were Gryffindor.

after losing a poker game

€  gypsycaine says, Oh, watching Labyrinth this week, I noticed 
something.

labyrinth, 
where Sarah meets Hoggle, she keeps calling him Hogwart.

€  gypsycaine says, no, just a dwarf.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, like the boar statues at the
gateposts

that's going to be too bad, apparently.

Cornelius Fudge.
flying_ford_anglia says, Windows 2000? Same thing?
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, I thought Lee was hoaxing me
first 
time she said Microsoft Me, so she had to explain it.
+ p_dumbledore says, No windows 2000 works great !
€  gypsycaine says, 2000 is NT, right?
€  gypsycaine realizes that doesn't look right, but it gets her
point 
across.
flying_ford_anglia says, I see - intriguing... rubs chin, trying to 
look clever
+ p_dumbledore says, Yes, a REAL operating system.. ha!!
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, Lee said no, this is new and 
incompatible with Windows 98 AND Windows NT AND WINDOWS 2000
hert0661isme says, Haven't tried that yet, mat put it on the other 
comp.
peeves23 says, no, if bill gates was the son of a slytherin windows 
would be efficient
flying_ford_anglia says, NT is not 2000
€  gypsycaine says, it would cost $2000.
€  gypsycaine says, not the old NT, the new NT?
peeves23 says, he's an clearly the love child of Pettigrew and 
Moaning Myrtle
hert0661isme says, It seems compatible with 98, I have them networked 
together

Me is an update of windows 98

fine.

marketing?
jferer says, Yeah? They recommend you reboot your server every two 
weeks just to clean up....
hert0661isme says, I had a modem problem while setting it up (it 
would not detect the com port but found loads of duds)

needing "pinked"

and the Maxtor program won't recognize Me and I can't create a disk 
using Disk copy since Me won't let you create a system disk.
€  catlady_de_los_angeles says, But I have read a lot about the 
upgrade from 98 to 2000 is difficult, flakey, and IIREVERSIBLE -- you 
can't respond to a failure of your upgrade by just giving up and 
falling back on 98
hert0661isme says, nice mess up!
