I'll be there (obviously!) and I'll bring some nibbles

# by Little Paul, 2012-05-20 11:23 BST Parent

Woop! :). I'll try to be there :D.

Haha you're so awesome Paul :D.
But the bad thing is that means it'll be 6am here when the party's happening, and I'm planning on having a late night- though wasn't planning on doing an all nighter... So I guess we'll see, but I'm leading towards not being able to make it now :(.

# by Dylan, 2012-05-20 12:41 BST Parent

Oohh, what's the occasion? I'll be there :-)

# by Colin E., 2012-05-20 12:25 BST Parent

Woah! How does this work? ##juggling is confusing.

Are you trying to access through an IRC client or through a browser?

# by Orinoco, 2012-05-20 21:25 BST Parent

& I for one thought it was really good fun (even if it descended into on topic juggling related chat around midnight). It was sad to see the IJDb go but I think eveyone was in high spirits.

Nice to see some more invitation requests coming through this morning.

So when's the next one?

# by Orinoco, 2012-05-21 12:40 BST Parent

We could take down the JIS servers next time round?

# by Colin E., 2012-05-21 13:00 BST Parent

Do you think their servers are flakey enough that just having 20 people on IRC concentrating real hard will take them down, or do you have a better plan?

# by Tobias, 2012-05-21 16:26 BST Parent

We could all just go to the same page. I hear that this wears them out.

# by mtb, 2012-05-22 18:18 BST Parent

Nah, the JIS feeds upon the attention & grows stronger.

I know it is grating for many that the JIS is still kicking around. I used to be among those who wanted it to be shut down rather than continue to stagnate. But now it is just one of the many millions of irrelevant websites that I don't visit.

I don't think anyone else does either. Even with the wealth of content on the JIS I can't remember the last time I saw someone link to one of its pages.

# by Orinoco, 2012-05-22 18:38 BST Parent

There's quite a lot of good historical stuff on the JIS but it's really hard to find. So much so that years back someone (Itsik/Isaac Orr? Or was it Scott Seltzer?) put together a list of all the good stuff and where to find it.

Unfortunately, I can't find that now either!

Does anyone know what I'm on about at all?

The r.j trove is at http://juggling.org/news/

# by david, 2012-05-22 23:56 BST Parent

You just did that to prove me wrong didn't you?!

# by Orinoco, 2012-05-23 12:42 BST Parent

http://juggler.co.il/scott/JIS.htm might be what you mean?

# by Scott Seltzer, 2012-05-23 03:59 BST Parent

That would be the one, yes! Thanks!
