I'm a dead man!I'll accept all blame for the Yatta video!

You may be right.... I can't get into the Yahoo chat from the server at our office in Seattle. I don't know if there is a way around it. Have you looked to see if there is a Yahoo Customer Service Dept that can answer questions?
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
I don't think it is gonna help him smooth things with the wife to say another man sent him the Yatta link!
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
I can imagine! There is no other way to respond to the Yatta video...
To: HairOfTheDog
Have you looked to see if there is a Yahoo Customer Service Dept that can answer questions?I haven't looked into it that far yet... the proxy server program I was using was shareware and rather hard to configure, so it's possible the problem was in our setup. I've downloaded an evaluation copy of a better proxy program and I'm going to try it out, but haven't set it up yet.
Do you know if it's possible to connect to the Hobbit Hole chat using Yahoo Messenger? That was one of the work-arounds suggested on the error page (using Messenger) but I couldn't see any way to get to the Hobbit Hole from Messenger...
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
I haven't used any of the Messenger utilities... So I dunno....
To: HairOfTheDog
Heh, I couldn't get Messenger to work from her system either, so it may not matter...
Funnily enough, AOL's Instant Messenger worked just fine from her system through the proxy, with no problem. So, maybe it is a Yahoo thing....

Have you ever gotten chat rooms to function through a server? - I was never able to get into another chat site I used to hang out at either when I was on a network. I sortof assumed the company IS dept blocked it.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
I've tried to explain the Yatta thing...but I'm gonna have to pay dearly for my sins...arghhhh
This is almost as bad as that Leonard Nimoy song about Bilbo.
Oh, God, you guys owe me...
To: HairOfTheDog
Have you ever gotten chat rooms to function through a server?Some, yes! It really does depend on whether the IS Dept. decides to block it or not... most chat sites use a protocol called ICQ to exchange messages, and that's a type of traffic that firewalls can be set to selectively block.
As an example, at the place I most recently contracted, the IT folks were having a big discussion on whether to let AIM through or not... it and other ICQ traffic was blocked, and they decided to keep it that way.
As another example, Dell, where Rose works, doesn't block AIM. That's nice because when I'm home we use AIM to keep in touch (she can't make personal calls from her desk.)

I'm gonna have to pay dearly for my sinsTerribly sorry about the Yatta video... I should have known better than to inflict that on the unsuspecting!
What did she think of the Viking Kittens?
To: Bear_in_RoseBear; Scott from the Left Coast
Good idea Bear.... divert her with the viking kittens! Change the subject!
To: HairOfTheDog; Scott from the Left Coast
Well, the old forehead is bouncing off the keyboard again... that means it's time for beddy-byes...
G'night all!
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Goodnight Bear!
To: HairOfTheDog; Bear_in_RoseBear
Well, folks, g'night. The viking kittens didn't even make a ripple. Those dancing gals...and guys...well, I'm not ever going to be able to adequately explain that.
Alas. Best to go to bed and try again tomorrow.

I don't think I could deal with father-in-law with that much 'tude. Not an elf bash!Yeah, but don't forget, he'll be a father in law who won't be around very long. He'll be going 'over the sea' pretty soon after the wedding!

Lazy morning here so far. Just woke up.
Tonight I am getting together with Penny to watch the movie!
Until then my life is laundry...
