Oh the things I could say, but I'll be over in my corner. ?

Hey Chain, good to see you too. Nice to see a couple of the long lost scripters popping up on SPCN. Batman for SPCN has also been released and looks good. Thanks for creating it Paige.

Thought you all might want to know that Sparkpea has been upgraded to IrcWX, The owner of the Domain sold it and the new server is up and running @: http://sparkpea.netIf anyone is still out there making scripts, they could use some.

"You can't hold back progress no matter how much you want to." No kidding, there are too many reasons why I want the MSN OCX gone, but I'd run err0r out of bandwidth.

As much as I want to move Sparkpea forward, I'm having a time finding help with a new web chat for the server. I did some digging and found this on: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2015/01/22/project-spartan-and-the-windows-10-january-preview-build.aspx Down the page a bit I found this from Microsoft. "Spartan provides compatibility with the millions of existing enterprise web sites designed for Internet Explorer. To achieve this, Spartan loads the IE11 engine for legacy enterprise web sites when needed, while using the new rendering engine for modern web sites. This approach provides both a strong compatibility guarantee for legacy enterprise web sites and a forward looking interoperable web standards promise. We recognize some enterprises have legacy web sites that use older technologies designed only for Internet Explorer, such as custom ActiveX controls and Browser Helper Objects. For these users, Internet Explorer will also be available on Windows 10. Internet Explorer will use the same dual rendering engines as Spartan, ensuring web developers can consistently target the latest web standards." I seriously want the OCX gone, and this will happen when it's supposed to happen.

It got done and back at the clients, and in use again.

As I type this, I'm waiting on clearance to reformat said Desktop. To top it off, Windows, as it would seem was never properly activated either. That in itself could be part of the issue. I can say, unless it was my screw up, and I had a few back then, only reason I ever had to reformat one of my computers was due to "Operator Error". I can own that, but I also learned from it. Meaning I didn't make the same mistake twice.

I have a new headache, at a clients, and it's a known issue with Microsoft, Win 8.1 won't update. It runs the updates all the way through, then rolls them back because it couldn't install one update. "Update Error Code 0x80080008" Mind you, this is at a clients and it will cost them money to fix this computer. I did all the homework, and the research. None of the fixes worked that were suggested, and now the last option is to "Reformat" the computer. This is just the latest of issues I've run into with Win 8.1.

Windows 10 is still a few months away. I won't be worried about Win 10 as I just rolled back a Win 8.1 to Win 7 because I got tired of the crap on Win 8.1. For me, 10 is the step-sister of 8.1. Why upgrade to another headache?

Thanks err0r. Things are changing, Just a matter of time before an announcement or two are made.

I know little about sparkpea but i feel their chances of getting a new "ocx" are slim to none. I can only speak for myself, but I want the OCX gone, that is what is limiting Sparkpea right now. There are things being worked on behind the scenes, and it takes time to get all the different people involved together to discuss things, but if this is supposed to work out with a new updated Chat, it will.

We're working on it.

Just heard about this a couple of days ago. PhreikChat had a hardware failure causing a kernel panic freeze. all website files and database were recovered. however at this stage.. ive decided to probably not continue the chat service.

err0r, if you want to know something about Sparkpea, it isn't like you can't fire up Skype. There are somethings going on behind the scenes. Don't want to jinx anything, but.......... Stay Tuned.

Happy Birthday err0r, Thanks for being there when needed. Jeff

There are a few of us DieHards still around. I remember seeing both those rooms, back on MSN. And I used Kenobi back then too.

Sparkpea is back up and doing fine, Had a minor server glitch and it took a bit to sort out, as we are spread about through out the time zones and it was a wknd as well. Thanks for asking.

As for Sparkpea, it's still holding it's own. We never did get a good answer as to what happened with the Google Ad Sense. As for changing OCX format, that is a question that still remains unanswered.

Happy Birthday err0r. I know I haven't been around much, work tends to do that to ppl.

It has been released, I'm running it, but I will make comments later after I've had some time to use it.

How much does that cost you though? Inquiring minds want to know.

I guess I get to give the "Unofficial" Status of what goes on with Cosy Clan Radio. Cosy Clan doesn't operate 24/7, their schedule is as follows, to the best of my knowledge. On air, Daily, from 2pm - 5pm ET except Wed, off air until 7 pm ET until Midnight ET or beyond. The IP I use to listen to Cosy Clan is: http://96.31.83.87:8037 Side Note to err0r, Thanks from Cosy Clan owner for adding this. Much appreciated. TT

From what I've seen over the past couple of wks & all the SS's, Great Job so far gentlemen. I have a feeling that no one will be able to beat it.

Thanks for posting those err0r. Some might find those useful. TT

Just to give everyone an update, it just came to my attention that IRCommunity Room on Sparkpea is now a Registered Sparkpea Room. A Perm Test room as been set up as well, and a Computing and Script Help Room is there too. Stop on in and say hello or idle and help when you can. Hope to see you there. TT
