Star Wars Chat Transcript - Page 1
Yoda: Howdy.
seanc: *singing I think I'm alone now, there doesn't seem to be anyone around*
Yoda: Can you see me?
Yoda: Testing...
Yoda: Can you see me?
seanc: Hey yoda, yeah I can
The Rodent: Welcome to the Star Wars Weekend!
Yoda: Woohoo
seanc: It's wonky for me, I am having to refresh after I post, but I am on my phone.
The Rodent: Shabba!
Yoda: Hmmm. Still testing things here.
The Rodent: It doesn't update when I post. It updates everyone else's posts though
Yoda: Okay, fiddling...
Yoda: Try refreshing, then posting again
The Rodent: testing
The Rodent: Working now
Yoda: Whew
Yoda: Smilies... 
Yoda: 
Yoda: How about now sean?
Yoda: So far so good.
seanc: Think I am good
Yoda: I'm still fiddling with the online users thing to make sure it updates. That might be wonky.
seanc: Rodent, your going to have to let me know where you are in the movie. I'm still at work
The Rodent: Not officially starting for another 40 minutes bud...
Yoda: Yeah, we're just opening early to work out the kinks, since I had to throw this software together and hack it to death in like three days. 
Since the earlier options didn't work well enough...
Since the earlier options didn't work well enough...
seanc: Right, I forgot already. Hah
seanc: Seems to be rolling now
Yoda: Right now the online users thing isn't quite right (obviously, since it only lists seanc), but I'm working on a fix. Hopefully I'll get it done in time, heh.
The Rodent: Yep working well now. Updating well...
Yoda: Are you on a phone? Would it be better if I moved the online users list somewhere else for smaller screens?
The Rodent: I'm on laptop.
seanc: Yeah, I can't see that but don't do it just for me.
seanc: I love the avatars yoda. Really nice update over oscar chat.
Yoda: Yeah, I'll be repeating this throughout the night, but there are some tradeoffs. However, working on mobile and getting avatars really outweighs the other stuff, I think.
Yoda: If it works well for this, I'll have a couple of months to polish it up and maybe duplicate some of the old room's features.
Yoda: Ah yeah, I didn't add the online list to mobile. Might be for the best, not much room for it there.
The Rodent: Not many people online right now... 
Yoda: Aye. Though the list is broken so unless someone chatted they wouldn't show up. I'm working on rewriting it now.
The Rodent: I hope this works out and people attend. Pretty quiet on the boards as well right now.
Yoda: I think it'll ebb and flow, since it's a multi-day thing and people know they can pop in and out. And most are more interested in 4-6, too.
Yoda: Whatever happens, though, you've done a bang-up job and it's also super useful to have this as a test run for the software! I'm already very grateful. 
The Rodent: True... is it pos to change the banner with a link to here?
The Rodent: Been a pleasure bud. Glad to help out.
Yoda: Yup, will do. Gonna try to fix online users first, but if I can't in the next 15 minutes I'll just update it anyway
The Rodent: Surprised SC ain't here picking holes in everything lol!
seanc: Yeah, don't sweat it Rodent. Six movies is a lot. I feel bad I won't be able to sit for all six. I love the idea and am going to try and hang as much as possible
The Rodent: Nice 
Yoda: Might get some weirdness while I rewrite code...might have to refresh and/or wait a minute. Just a warning!
Yoda: Quick test...
The Rodent: 123
The Rodent: MAAARK!!!
mark f: Just looking at the theatre curtains.
The Rodent: The ones in your living room?
Yoda: Testing...
Yoda: Howdy Mark! Hi SilentVamp!
Yoda: Bear with me if things get wonky for a second, I'm still fixing stuff
mark f: The ones here. Hi.
The Rodent: VAAAMP!!!
SilentVamp: Hey! Everyone should know that I think Rodent is a miracle worker!
mark f: Don't be upset with me for popping in and out.
Yoda: Hey gandalf!
gandalf26: Meeza here!
The Rodent: That's cool, Mark Hey Gandalf!!! Thank you Vamp!
Hey Gandalf!!! Thank you Vamp!
The Rodent: 20 minutes to go!
Yoda: More testing...
Yoda: Hey, to anyone else in here: can you hit refresh? I wanna see if I fixed the online users list.
The Rodent: Done
Yoda: Okay, it *might* be working.
The Rodent: 123
The Rodent: The box with the online users is refreshing itself now.
Yoda: Yup. And I think it should be accurate....ish.
The Rodent: Seems to be working ok...
The Rodent: I've got the DVD player going. 10 minutes till kick-off.
Yoda: Yup, my movie's all ready.
Daniel M: What's Star Wars?
SilentVamp: I had the movie set up last night. All I have to do is turn on the DVD player.
Yoda: Hey Daniel.
The Rodent: Banned
gandalf26: If a person had never seen Star Wars would you tell them to start with Menace or New Hope?
The Rodent: Hehehe
Daniel M: Haha, I don't think I'll be watching the movies today sorry, maybe tune in to some of the originals. Lovely design for this though Yoda.
Yoda: Thanks. Hats off to Rodent for the work and for spurring me on to finally replacing our chat software.
Yoda: Hopefully if this goes well I can polish it and use it for the Oscars.
The Rodent: 8 minutes.
Yoda: Are we hitting play from the LucasFilm logo or something else?
Daniel M: Yeah,I remember Rodent first planning this and I thought maybe he was doing it a bit early, but time has flown by, can't believe the new Star Wars is almost out. Have fun guys.
Yoda: Yeah, it's gone so fast!
The Rodent: Yep, super fast
Yoda: I was like "I've got months to try new chat software." 
Though the fact that the first one I tested with him was no good sure didn't help...that's one less week than what I thought I'd have to fix it up, having to find another.

The Rodent: Meh, just hit startr when I shout start... a couple seconds between each other won't really matter.
The Rodent: I can still remember starting the thread for this... SC was livid that it was 8 months.
Daniel M: is everyone else here watching the films, yeah?
Yoda: A lot of people plan to pop in and out. I'll be in here the whole time but stepping away for work stuff now and then.
Yoda: Re: start. Oh, sure. Just wasn't sure if it was LucasFilm, start of the yellow crawl, etc.
Daniel M: Haha, SC would have created the thread 8 hours ago
The Rodent: 8 seconds ago more like.
