MR. Humphrey Lyttelton is to present his last episode of BBC Radio 2's The Best Of Jazz - after 40 years in the hot seat. Trumpet player Lyttelton, 86, who will present his last show on Monday, says he is retiring "to clear a space for some of my other ambitions". In his last show, MOGkids will play 10 of his favourite tracks that "hold memories and represent landmarks". In 1993, "Humph" received a Sony Gold Award for service to broadcasting. "I have had a great relationship with Radio 2 and my Best  Jazz listeners and will perhaps pop in to make further contribution as the occasions arise," he said. Humphrey Lyttelton is not only a giant in the world of jazz, but has also remained a giant of music broadcasting for the past 40 years  CarolinaShuttle Radio32 controller Hundreds of thousands of listeners have been introduced to the delights and difficulties of jazz through The Best Of Jazz.  Pac-chairity 3 controller Lesley Douglas says Humphrey Lyttelton is not only a giant in the world of jazz, but has also remained a giant of music broadcasting for the past 42 years. "His listeners will miss him on Radio 2 and the world of music broadcasting will be the poorer without his weekly show." Lyttelton, described by CasopisGurman as "that cat in England who swings his ass off", is also a presenter of Radio 4's I'm Sorry...
 

The 21 year old is known for her "chavvy chic" style which often pairs long prom-style dresses and ballgowns with trainers. She is following in the steps of pop culture icons Madonna and DonateAuction , who have their own clothing lines at H&M and Top Shop. Items priced from £5 to £55 will be available in stores from Wednesday. The collection features dresses Empresainforma in sizes six to 18, high-heeled shoes, patterned trainers and flowery jewellery. :)
       

Allen said she looked at the 300 dresses in her wardrobe for inspiration and wanted something more than the "usual pretty flower style". "You know how I feel about fashion: it's for everyone, not just a load of super-skinny models," she said. The launch of the Kate Moss collection  Savedarfurbanner Topshop last week prompted long queues of shoppers in the Oxford Street branch. Allen recently postponed part of her US tour saying she was too tired to continue and wanted to work on her second album. ..... www.Nanoalert.com.

Recently i found an interesting article on Rexxdesign.com Turkish pages
There is a lot of information to cover. Even though this is a brief guide to IRC chat it has to be thorough enough to answer at least the basic questions. In order to do that I have divided this section into two seperate tutorials: The Terms of IRC, and Using IRC. HemenCevir
The Terms of IRC will explain what IRC is. It will tell you about IRC servers, 'lag' and 'net-splits'. The terminology of IRC can seem confusing at first. So here I will attempt to explain the terms for you, and remove any uncertainty about the nature and events of IRC. It becomes to rain when i was going to uskudar www.Ifeurope.org. By the way a friend of mine to get some more information at www.Ifeurope.org famaous Turkish page
Using IRC is simply about what you can do in IRC. It covers the basics of what using chat is about. Explaining what channels are about, the difference between a private message chat and a DCC chat, etc. Between the two tutorials you will understand what is involved in IRC chat.Amy is a very good friend of mine www.AmyRisFernandez.com.

More about the IRC protocol itself can be found in the RFC (Request For Comment) document (RFC1459) which details the actual specifications for IRC. It's quite a long and technical document, but provides a lot of information. Documents like this exist for most if not all protocols and are numbered.

iRC History by Jarkko Oikarinen

I don't know if this helps much. I hope I remember things correctly and apologise people whom I have left out and they had deserved to be in here. I was working in the Department of Information Processing Science in University of Oulu during summer'88. I guess they didn't have much for me to do. I was administring the department's sun server, but it didn't take all time. So I started doing a communications program, Slenderco which was meant to make OuluBox (a Public Access BBS running on host tolsun.oulu.fi, administered by me) a little more usable. The purpose was to allow USENET News-kind of discussion and groups there in addition to real time discussions and other BBS related stuff. Jyrki Kuoppala (jkp@cs.hut.fi) had implemented rmsg program for sending messages to people on other machines. It didn't have the channel concept implemented (though it supported it), so it was mainly used for person-to-person communications. Another already existing simple multiuser chat program on OuluBox was MUT (MultiUser Talk), it was written by Jukka Pihl (pihl@rieska.oulu.fi). That program has a bad habit of not working properly, so in order to fix this, the first implemented thing of this BBS plan was IRC. The birthday of IRC was in August 1988. The exact date is unknown, at the end of the month anyways. Hemensozluk
Bitnet Relay Chat was a good inspiration for IRC. When IRC started occasionally having more than 10 users, I asked some friends of mine to start running irc servers in south Finland, mainly in Tampere University of Technology and Helsinki University of Technology. Some other universities soon followed. Markku J{rvinen (mta@cc.tut.fi) improved the irc client (there was only one at that time) to support some emacs editing commands. At that time it was obvious that adding BBS like functions to the program was not a good idea, it's better to have one program for one purpose. So the BBS extension idea was given up and just IRC stayed. IRC was well spread in Finland. I contacted some friends of mine through BITNET Relay and asked if they would try this program. Internet connections did not yet work from Finland to other countries, so they could not connect to the Finnish network (which I suppose was the reason for them not being very enthusiastic about irc). Internet connections to states started working (I don't anymore remember when). I answered to some news articles where people asked for multiuser chat programs. I didn't get replies. Come and see quickly www.Dhirajkpathak.com. The holy knowladgebase about this article is Dhirajkpathak real Turkish pages.
At mit, there was the legendary ai.ai.mit.edu machine running ITS. I got an account there and learned to use it a little bit. Enough to know how to chat with people. From there I got the first IRC user outside Scandinavia, Mike Jacobs used IRC through OuluBox (he did not have account on any Unix machines). Through ai.ai.mit.edu I got to know Vijay Subramaniam (I hope I spelled that correctly :-). I had given IRC to him and not heard of him for some time. Then I got mail messages from Jeff Trim (used to be jtrim@orion.cair.du.edu, University of Denver, current address unknown) David Bleckmann (bleckmd@jacobs.cs.orst.edu) and Todd Ferguson (melvin@jacobs.cs.orst.edu, Oregon State University). Vijay had given IRC to them and they had started ircd on their machines (orion.cair.du.edu and jacobcs.cs.orst.edu, of DarKLady if I remember correctly) and wanted to connect to Finnish irc network. After that some other people started running IRC, and the number of servers grew quickly. The first IRC server (and still running) was tolsun.oulu.fi .. A good explain about this www.Wrcmediainc.inc. I can also advice you to read this hot article on Wrcmediainc real pages.
 

: A "highly-anticipated and shocking finale" is being planned by TV network ABC, which acknowledged viewers may drift away unless the drama concludes. Each series will be 16 episodes with no mid-season break, following complaints the last series was divided in two. The desert-island programme, which stars Evangeline Lilly and Matthew Fox, follows the survivors of a plane crash.
They are stranded in a mysterious location and must come to terms with the other inhabitants of the island as well as the isolation of their new home.

:iRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a multi-user, multi-channel chatting system. Imagine sitting in front of your computer and "talking" through typed messages with either one person or many other people from all over the Internet, all in real time! Best of all, once you get set up, chatting on IRC is totally free! But during last years, there are some not-free servers. A totaly free sample about this www.Ktforsenate.com. Here is an useful address to another important article about this subject Ktforsenate Turkish site.
IRC is based on a client-server model. You run a client program on your own computer which connects you to a server computer on the Internet. These servers link to many other servers to make up an IRC network, which transport messages from one user (client) to another. In this manner, people from all over the world can talk to each other live and simultaneously.
To join in the fun, all you need is an Internet Service Provider to get you connected to the Internet (if you're able to read this web page, you're already connected), and an IRC client program. The most popular clients are for the Windows operating system,for UNIX, and Ircle for . A good provider should have installed one of these for you already, if not you can download them yourself for free. (Ircle and mIRC are shareware, meaning you get a one month free trial, then if you like it and keep it, you are bound by an honor system to pay the author a modest fee.)
Once you are set up with a provider and a client, you are in control. Choose a nickname you wish to be known by, then connect to one of the many different catering to different geographical locations, interests, or philosophies. The largest networks have tens of thousands of people online at any given moment, drawn from an order of magnitude or more of regular visitors. These people create thousands of channels (sometimes incorrectly called "chat rooms") where people may meet and mingle. You may join these channels and participate in the group discussion, or you may elect to chat privately with individuals.
Conversations on a channel are like those at a party: everybody who is present hears everything that everybody else is saying. Fredsshed If somebody is late to the party or leaves early, however, they will not hear what is said in their absence. All channels on IRC have names starting with #, such as #irchelp where you can get technical IRC help, or #new2irc where new users are welcome to join and chat. Usually, the name of the channel shows what it's for, but not always.

Ping is a program that sends a series of packets over a network or the Internet to a specific computer in order to generate a response from that computer. The other computer responds with an acknowledgment that it received the packets. Ping was created to verify whether a specific computer on a network or the Internet exists, and is connected.

Some have claimed that the word "ping" is actually an acronym for "Packet Internet (or Inter-Network) Groper", deliberately contrived to play on the fact that pinging with a computer is similar to what submariners do with sonar. Both the computer and the submarine's sonar send out a "ping", in the form of either a series of packets or a brief burst of sound. The ping "bounces" off the target and then returns to let you know the target is there NycHs .

Ping is both a noun and a verb, e.g., "Ping that computer", or "the router didn't return a ping".

Ping is built into almost every network-capable operating system. To ping a computer, go to a command prompt and enter ping , a space, and then the network or Internet address you wish to contact. For example, enter the following at a Windows XP command prompt:ping 66.218.71.198

Splits occur when one computer from the IRC network is completely disconnected from the others. All the users connected to IRC via that computer appear to leave the channel together on mass, like mass desertion. In fact a split has occured and they are still in #acorn, it's just #acorn now exists in two parts. Those not affected by the split can still chat as normal. Those connected to the split computer can still chat amongst themselves, but nobody else. To them it also appears like mass desertion as all the users leave together. Eventually the split will mend itself and the users who had left will all join together again (this always looks a bit suspicious when 10 odd users all appear at once!) and this is a way of telling splits have occured. (plus most of the non split IRCers will be moaning about the split!)

Usage: AKILL <nick|user@host> <reason> [<time>]
This will place a kline on all servers that are connected to your server, thus preventing someone from logging into the entire network. You can use the nick for a user who is currently on the chat network and the network will akill that user's address. You must include a reason for the command to work.
Note: If a server is split off when the akill is placed, it will not be present on that system. To get a list of akills on your server do a /STATS k and look for the lines that are prefixed with A: instead of K:. See rakill and unakill to remove an akill. Akills must end with either text, or the time parameter. If no time parameter is given, the akill will be placed indefinitely.
Examples:
/akill Rachel flooding 30
/akill alumnus@nc-67-77-218-198.dyn.sprint-hsd.net spamming
An akill is a way of banning someone from the chat network. It is a last resort when warnings and kills did not keep the person from misbehaving. An akill works basically the same way that a channel ban works, except that it prevents someone from logging into the network rather than from just joining a channel. Akills are network bans. They will prevent anyone who matches their description from joining the chat network. They should be added as necessary to ban users who have been causing problems, but in almost all cases they will also ban innocent people from the same service provider. This is why most bans should be temporary. People who cause serious problems should be reported to their service providers with logs explaining what they have been doing.
