We'll say 8:30?

And Bhootnike, you've got the honour of presenting the first topic next Saturday. The topic is "Reaction Rates."

I can't make mine 'ANcharmanderp'; every time I pronounced it I'd die from the grammatical impropriety.

Make yours 'derpderp"

Derp of the herp.

OK here's my verdict:

Forum threads:

Quite a popular choice in the polls. Great idea, my original idea.  However, we have a problem - it's not instant, so we'll have all sorts of people talking at the same time and posting out of sync. Not my favourite idea to be honest.

Skype:

Most popular choice. Very good idea. Problems include privacy and issues with moderation. Privacy can be alleviated with new Skype accounts, and I'll deal with moderation. But if anyone decides to troll and make trouble on Skype, that'd be awful, and I'd have to take action there. But I know you guys won't make trouble! As for non-availability, downloading Skype is free. And as for talking vs typing, i'm thinking typing is better because not everyone has a mic and bandwidth doesn't die. Anyways, I'm thinking this is the best option, so we'll go Skype.

IRC:

Issues are graphics, hard to read text, cannot send files over. Not a very popular choice from what I see.

TeamViewer and that:

Seems good, but people seem to like Skype better.

So Skype it is.

Guys if you could make Skype accounts for AN and make your account name a variant of "ANthushan" or "ANlaseredd" or sth and PM me when you've done it. You can use your real Skype if you want.

We'll gather on a thread on AN called Tutorial 2, then we'll open a Skype convo once we have the ppl rounded up.
See you guys @ Saturday 7:30 pm.

If there are any issues with me making it, I'll let you know early.

Perhaps next time you can use the "chat" section of AN (beside home and search) if u want it to be instant, and make a thread for posting up attachments and files.

The 'chat' link on AN is a link to a webclient for IRC, which Thushan has already addressed.

Great idea, but just to clarify, is there any way for those of us who can't make it to access this?

How about a tutorial on youtube  or this forum as something  may come up fo many of us. So we  could can ask questions during the week on  a topic  your discussing,  and if there questions  people are getting wrong or  do not understand them,  you could Answer.  no?
