Lee and Mike and possible RickV will be droppping by the IRC chat at around 8:30pm (GMT 0 ) to answer your questions. If you have anything to put to them, drop by.
TGC are taking time out of their easter sunday to do this, and for that I appreciate it. As Squidge might say it, Be there or be an UNE DODGY PLONKEN...

Thanks

Nah, then it won't be GMT

GMT 0 is GMT + 0 hours, i.e. GMT.

But anyway it seems the clocks are changing this weekend anyway, so Mnem will have to re-work that one out. These clock changing times comfuse me.

On Sunday, 27th March, the UK will be in British Summer Time (BST).

For Europeans observing Daylight Saving Time, the difference will be the same.

For all others, I believe you should read this as 20:30 BST, or GMT + 1.

Just over 2 hours and 40 minutes to go. Get in early.
We hope to open the questions bot 15 minutes beforehand.

To add a question you need to send a private message to the bot containing !add <your question here>

the <> are not needed. Here is an example of adding a question

"!add Is darkbasic great?"

You will then recieve a response from the bot, who will either tell you the question was accepted, or that the question service is closed.

The bots name is pris by the way

The 3d chat is coming...

Hehe, no problem Eric.

I have a few of the other logs sitting on my Hard-drive. When I get a chance, I'll put them in the same format, just so they can all be in one place for reference.
