Re: New Euphoria Users Website
Hello!
I would like to interject something about the #euphoria channel here as well.
Please keep in mind, folks, that people will not always be in the channel, and
those who are may not, at any given moment, being paying attention to the
channel. This is one of the purposes of the bots: to keep the channel open.
None of us are paid by anyone, including RDS, to be there. We are there in a
volunteer capacity, and when real life comes a'calling, we have no choice but
to take care of real life, i.e. work, family, etc. Chris is there for a
majority of the day; however, remember that while he is present on the
channel, he is also at his place of employment, meaning that his real-world
job takes precedent over the goings-on in the channel, as it should be.
Additionally, nearly all of us are programmers, and when we're at the
computer, we are programming. When I am on the channel, I make my best
effort to arrange things so that I can see people join and part, but this is
*not* always possible, because I may have Euphoria apps running, I may have
my editor maximized, I might be debugging something and can't get away from
it, or I may be throwing a temper tantrum. The point is, especially during
the day (in North America, where most of the regulars are from), chances are
if you join the channel and say "Hi," you won't get a response for a couple
of minutes, because one of us coders will have to notice you first. So, if
you have a question about Euphoria, or programming, or underwater basket
weaving, or thermodynamics, or the alien ship in the hangar at Roswell, by
all means drop by. But don't don't expect someone to respond to you
immediately. We aren't being rude ... we're being busy.
Thank you,
