A Chairde (Dear friends), NIl moran Gaeilge agam. (I don't know much Irish). :) Gabhaim pardun agaibh as an teachaireacht seo i mBearla. (My apologies to you for this msg in English) TeeHee :) >Dia thut, > >What does Chiara mean? What is the meeting about? Do I have to download >something to participate? > >Slean Leat >The Fianna study group meets every week to review our projects. We are taking a class together at VU (an online university). Also chirho is going to begin a Fian for those who are taking Diana's ceritification class. I am just occassionally sitting in, and am not actually taking this class since I am so far behind in the classes I am already taking. I would like to take the cert class sometime. We also do a lot of chatting about our own research. (Actually if nobody has any questions we usually chat more about our individual research than we do about our VU homework and projects.) Some of us are taking the VU class for the 3rd time. (We're very sloooow learners hehehe). Anyway you might find the meetings interesting. All members of Fianna are welcome to attend whether they are taking either the VU classes or the certification class or not. You do need to download IRC software in order to participate. If you have a PC you need mIRC or pIRCH which are windows programs. Let me know if you have something else. There is a mac program, IRCLE, and a program for unix etc. You can download mIRC (which most of us use) at: http://www.mirc.co.uk/get.html There is also a FAQ and other helpful information at this site! The pIRCH site is http://www.bcpl.lib.md.us/~frappa/pirch.html Both Fianna and the certification classes are meeting Sunday night at IIGS. For more information you can see the IRC page at IIGS. http://www.iigs.org/irc/index.htm.en Slan! Gail aka Rigfennid III >Dia thut, > >What does Chiara mean? What is the meeting about?
