For those who missed the 12pm chat- today was just random topics. I did however learn how to make the chatroom mobile responsive (You are awesome for helping me with that Michael!) and learned that another friend of mine is helping her husband with a retro gaming youtube channel! THAT ought to be really cool! Can't wait to see it!
Peruse the transcript... you might just find the secret I shared too! I will be running these chats a minimum of once a week from now on. Not sure about a sticking time yet but watch for me to make the announcement on the chat page and on social media!
2/2/2016 Random topics Chat Transcript:
I'm just gonna try this out and see if it works...
Oh! Shiny!
LOL Awesome Shiny! 
I love that I can log in with any of my social media accounts too! (besides just a random guest account for those who dislike social media).
Hio! 
HEY Michael!!! How've you been?
For anyone poking around 
the chatroom is open... just the page itself is still under construction (not pretty)- the chat works though
Yeah, need to make the chat thing wider on the desktop. 
I've got a one size fits all problem :/ I can EITHER set up one for mobile and use it on both OR set it up for desktop and then it is too big for mobile. :/ urg!
Hmm... OR what I might could do is copy it and put two on the same page- they'd both populate with the same stuff but hmm *tinkering*!
Michael... refresh the webpage and scroll down... hows that
it will work. can you give the chat window a % instead of a fixed width? That should let it use up whatever percentage of the display
Hmm I suppose I could... I'd need to look up the html for that....It just says width=" " and all I know is to type in a number lolol.
lemme see what I can find out about using the % thing
Oh THAT was neat! I typed two different times and pressed enter both times and the chatroom combined it into one bubble! How efficient!
should be able to do width="100%" and it will fill the column.
Hello, Virginia. Nice place you have here.
Hey Andrea! Welcome!
Michael- YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! Hit refresh screen 
I know about as much HTML code to make myself dangerous- that's about it. When I have something new I want to do I run over here: http://www.w3schools.com/
So Michael, anything new with K9? We get to work on transformers in class next week, and we are programming controllers too- won't be long before I'm building robot along with you! lol
I'm loving Electrical Engineering - even though my classes eat up a lot of my writing/ going over edits time.
lol
cool. it looks like a fun class
robot was supposed to have an s on the end -.- darn speedy fingers
i took an electronics class in high school but it was, here is a kit, here is what the parts do
Hey V! I'm at work so can't talk much but wanted to say hi.
You'd love it! My instructors are really good at breaking things down from the beginning so you can understand just exactly what the things are doing when they are hooked up different ways.
Any cool WIPs planned for this week?
Michelle! Hi! Oh I'm glad you stopped by! Have a good day at work! Hope it isn't too stressful!
As for WIP's um... I've got two tests- make that three tests to study for and a TON of math homework :/
If I DO finish any of that early then I will be hacking away at the edits my editor sent for Visionary From The Stars-
Its slow going with my new schedule.
I promise to get back to writing my short stories on my blog once that editing is done though
Before I fall asleep at night- and often while I am driving I am working on a sequel to The Alien Mind in my head.
The plot bunnies are bugging me though so I'm not sure how close that one is to coming to life.
OH!!! I also have a secret I can share with you guys! (no one else knows yet)
I'm working on a book with my husband!
He's busy coming up with concept ideas for pictures in it. Its sorta like a joke book concept but not quite.
Yeah- took me a long while, but I finally convinced him to work on something with me
Its a funny guidebook for intergalactic visitors
That's cool! I'm helping my fiance with his YouTube channel. Collabs are fun. Not sure I'd ever write with him though lol
Aww! Thats cool! Is his channel public yet? (link?)
It is, but no content yet. He's AusMAtari everywhere on the Web. It's a retro gaming Lets Play chanel
I keep telling Mine he needs to start a youtube channel with all the jokes he keeps throwing- DUDE I was in the middle of a serious conversation! (And now you made me lose my train of thought! lol)
Oh AWESOME! Retro gaming... what game is he going to air first?
Hmm... I can't seem to find it on youtube... Do you have to post something before I could find the channel? (That doesn't make much sense but who knows these days)
Not sure - probably going to launch it with five vids, and those will probably cover one from each Atari, NES, PS2, N64, and either SNES or PS1. I think Super Breakout and Adventure are two he considered launching with.
Oh thats cool! Drop me some links when he launches them and I'll help share them!
Dang... to think PS1 is retro... I HAD a PS1 O.O
I also had a Game Boy Color! Those things rocked! (I still have mine actually- though my mario cartridge no longer works 
My kids play oldschool pokemon on it! lol)
Wish I could chat longer Michelle- But I gotta run (and stop procrastinating from my mile long list of math homework -.-) I'll probably do this about once a week though - not exactly sure what time is going to stick though... Probably either Tues Afternoon or Friday evening sometime after dinner 
I had one too! Only pac man though. My parents didn't let me have video games. Jokes on them lol. I spent the entirety of January in Fallout 4
HAHA! Yeah ours didn't buy us video games till we were MUCH older. I played Mario on the old nintendo system though *blowing in cartridges like a boss!*
You too! I'm so glad you came over!
