Pharr group... let's join in!

Are you reading Homeric Greek? Whether you are a total beginner or an advanced Homerist, here you can meet kindred spirits. Besides Homer, use this board for all things early Greek poetry.

I have a problem reading some messages. Where I must see Greek characters -in some threads- I only see "???????". I thought it would be because I hadn´t configurated as well as it has to be my Greek fonts. I am checking it and I can see that they are OK.
I use Mozilla Firefox, might anyone help me?
I am also having some troubles since I am here seeing the interface of the forum. For instance, in the beggining of the principal page I see an strange sign (like a sort of an interrogative mark into a rhombus) the word "Forum". Is it what I must see?

Thanks in advance and excuse my English -I am improving it as well as I can.

I've also received the message saying that I am a member of the Textkit mailing list. It is great indeed! :-) But I do not know what to do now. Shall I receive messages with the lessons or I must to find them myself? What messages has Gonzalo talked about? Thanks.

At this very moment I am reading the last messages. I think you can do it by virtue of going to the message which you received and there is a direction. I neither know what to do now.

Where are you looking? When you visit the main mailing list page at the bottom you can enter your email address and the password you set when joining. After you have logged in the archive link should be available to you.

The latest mailing list is "April 2007". Is it all right? What about the current one (May)?

There have been no emails to the mailing list in May. You subscribing means I can discuss schedules with you both outside of this thread, by sending emails to the list. The archive may be interesting for you, but not strictly necessary.

Now we have to wait for your GTSS accounts, so you can start posting lessons. I will see if I can get into touch with Paul and check the status of your accounts.

As I said, we must now wait until you also have the GTSS accounts. Did you also email Paul as outlined in Berts post earlier?

The mailing list will be of use as soon as you have access to GTSS, to discuss schedules, share howto's etcetera. For now, nothing will be happening there.

You need GTSS to actually post your homework, so that I can correct it. It is a website created by forum member Paul.

Some more info can be found right here.

I've just pressed the subscribe button for the pharr-d, it's 1st June here now.

I really wish Kronos will grant me his precious moment for me to indulge with Homer...

Last but not least, hello, mate! Please accept this little chap from the south east Asia.

You would be number 4 of the 5 I have set as a limit. So it would be ok.

We are waiting for Paul to create the necessary GTSS accounts. Did you also send him an email with your desired accountname (see above)?

I have sent the mail but I didn't mention any "desired accountname" in the mail, should I resend?
I am using dial-up now, very very slow zzzzz.
However I can assess broadband in my office, but working hour is not easy to manage...

No, you don't have to resend.

Hi All,

Sorry for my recent absence.

I have added three new users to the pharr-d GTSS group. I now need to send them their login userids and passwords.

Adelheid, can you ask the 3 new members to private message their e-mail addresses to me via Textkit?

Thank you.

Cordially,

Paul

P.S. - see http://www.greekgeek.org/gtss.pdf and http://www.greekgeek.org/gtssIntro.pdf

Could you please, when posting your lessons, also choose the option 'Close lesson'?

Otherwise I do not receive notification that you posted a lesson.

Thanks.

That depends on you, posting lessons.

I refer you to the "Intro for joiners" email in the Pharr-d mailing list.

Please post further questions to the mailing list, not to this thread.

I check my email just that much more often than posts on textkit. And your subscription to the mailinglist was intended to be able to take this kind of discussions out of these forums.

So please, mail your questions to the mailing list.

Thanks!

Hey mates, look like I am lost somewhere in the cyberspace. I am not sure if Paul's GTSS is revived, and I've posted lesson 12 a few days ago... before the GTSS down?? I am not sure of the posting date, and I did "close the lesson" :)
Look like my command on the 1st declension nouns loses grip, never really did master it. :)
It's sure not easy for an Asian to learn declension. :(

Your lesson 12 answers are there. Adelheid/perispomenon said she will not be correcting exercises the next couple of weeks, but will then get all caught up. Keep posting your answeres and feel free to ask questions on the mailing list.
The lists:
G'Oogle and the Internet Pharrchive - 1100 or so free Latin and Greek books.
DownLOEBables - Free books from the Loeb Classical Library
