This week’s column will be a bit different than usual. As most of you know, Wanderings is posted every other week, therefore my next column isn’t due until 16 Apr. But, I couldn’t let the premier issue of the new CITIZEN SCIENTIST be published with out thanking Sheldon, our Webmeister, and Forrest, our editor, for the great job that was done with the re-format.

For some additional news ----- I’ve set up a Chat Room for us to try out. This room is a no frills freebie package that was supplied by Chatz.com (See the FAQ). If we find that the room is a useful tool for the advancement of amateur science, we could up grade it to a full featured package which will give us a broad spectrum of bells and whistles.

To join the Chat Room:

1. Go to Chat Room. --- (http://www.chatzy.com/?972568022735)
2. Choose a name/alias --- ( I am rjc )
3. Choose a colour -------- Please don’t use red.
4. Use password --- davinci --- to log in.

Even though the Room will be open 24/7, let’s try and conduct most business between the hours of 7:00 and 11:59 PM EDST.

At this time, the only rules will be:

• --- please keep on topic (science)
• --- be courteous
• --- keep it clean
• --- be brief --- For longer discussions you could switch over to e-mail.

Hope to see you online

Enjoy
