IRC (Internet Relay Chat)

Stefan, just missed you! Cute quote I've never used IRC so feeling pleased with myself for even getting there! Undernet's website isn't the most user friendly, but managed to get connected and found the right channel, so I'm thrilled!

I tried to get users to sign into a msn group at that was to "tech" either that or I am hated Or Bill is who knows.

Good luck..

an irc room would be cool I could log in from any of my 13 gentoo servers using irssi from work.. weeeee

If it picks up i'll pop in.

for me posting on a forum allows me to respond at my own pace.

Like many others, I have a family, and the kids are noisy, or demanding, etc.

Ever try to participate in a group chat when you are being badgered every 30 seconds?

Heck, just yesterday I was composing a POST, it took nearly half an hour just to get a couple paragraphs written.

Completing a phone call uninterrupted can be a task in this household

Wayne I have the same issues, the 3 ppl i talk on my yahoo, know if I am gone for more than 2 min, I am away(I have it set to 2 m,in, to say I am idle.) Either Gavin needs me, or Sarah. I am lucky if I get 10 min, sitting here. Phone calls.. you can forget that!! I do them when they are in school!!! Ask Aundrea.!!!

yeah - that's where I'm at too
I've got a couple of friends I google chat with occasionally and they're used to me suddenly disappearing
sometimes a post can take a few hours even
but the idea sounds nice
