Photos:
I'll be putting together a set of web pages with photos from DLV in a
couple weeks, and I would like to include as many of your photos as you
would like. You can get them to me in one of these ways:
1. FTP them to www.geekbabe.com. Login: dlv99 pswd: dlv99
2. Mail the files to annie@annie.net. Please don't mail them to the
list, because file attachments don't always transparently pass thru the
mailing list processor.
3. If you don't have access to a scanner, write me (annie@annie.net)
and I'll give you a snailmail address to send prints. I'll scan them
and return them promptly.
If you will be making a web page about DLV, I would like to add a link
to it.
I do ask that in all cases everybody please be sensitive to the
feelings of others, and don't post any boymode or mixed-mode photos (or
any that are specifically unappealing) without permission of those
involved.
I will mail a url to this list containing all the photos I plan to
post in advance of doing so, in case anybody is uncomfortable with
any of them.
. . . . . . . . . .
E-mail and web addresses:
We had some discussion the last day about putting together a directory
of DLV participants' e-mail addresses and web page URL's. If you would
like one or the other of yours to be included, please reply to this and
give the e-mail address and/or URL you want included. This is, of
course, strictly voluntary.
If you would like personal web space and don't have it, it is available,
usually without charge, from geekbabe.com. If you are interested, please
write to postmaster@geekbabe.com for a copy of the Terms Of Service.

IRC:
Many of the people who attended DLV first met through Internet Relay
Chat (IRC). There were some questions about this, and I said I would
give step-by-step instructions on how to join in.
The channel most everybody hangs out on is #crossdress on the EFNET
IRC network. (Although the title is #crossdress, we get users on the
channel all across the complete transgender spectrum, from those deep
in the closet, to those who are post-op fully-transitioned.)
I'll give the instructions for PC/Win systems here. IRC clients are
available for other systems as well.
1. Obtain a client IRC program. For the PC/Win systems, MIRC is the
most popular, and available from http://www.mirc.com and elsewhere.
2. Install the software according to instructions.
3. Bring up your Internet connection to your ISP.
4. Connect to a server on the EFNET IRC network. If you have trouble
finding a EFNET server that will let you on, try irc.arpa.com,
irc-w.frontiernet.net, irc-e.frontiernet.net, or irc.psinet.com. If
you subscribe to the @home service, try irc.home.com.
5. MIRC will prompt you for a channel to join. Enter the name
#crossdress at that time. (Public global channel names begin with a #)
Introduce yourself and join in the conversation. You will most likely
see at least a few familiar names.
6. Please don't be discouraged if you happen to hit the channel in a
period of little or no activity. It ebbs and flows continuously. It's
most likely to be active in the evenings, and often remains so into
the wee hours, especially Friday and Saturday. If there is nothing
going on, all it often takes to get things going is for somebody to
join and say a few things.
