lesson learned!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 19 April 2004 23:17 (twenty-two years ago)

i stopped using IM so much when i realized it sat open for an hour without me bothering to talk to anyone

People who set their MSN log-in name to "Busy all day, don't speak to me": DUD. Don't fucking sign in then, jackass.

what's it to you? if they're busy then they're busy.

I am still mad/sad that they blocked away AIM at my work.

chat programs are vile

also isn't MSN Messenger tied in with that Passport thing, so it signs you on to the messenger client every time you log in to check your e-mail or something?

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 19 April 2004 23:34 (twenty-two years ago)

they're probably signed in so they can see when people they really want to talk to come online.

alex, they've blocked the common ports. Change yr AIM preferences to use another point and it should work fine.

― Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Monday, 19 April 2004 23:34 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah i long for the "pure" nerdity of ilx

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 19 April 2004 23:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I am so glad that I can't use AIM at work.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 19 April 2004 23:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm unreasonable about AIM (I always end up uninstalling it to punish it for beeping or flashing at me), but "naked and wet" is classic.

I use AIM to communicate with people on my staff who are on separate floors of the office so I have AIM up, but am not in a position to have an extended conversation.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 19 April 2004 23:53 (twenty-two years ago)

and i hope this doesn't sound too rude (and it's not geared towards anyone in particular), but just because i've got AIM fired up doesn't mean i'm wearing a big sign around my neck saying "hi! please please please IM me RIGHT NOW!" it's like a dialtone on a phone line. it means i'm there. i'm happy to chat you up if you catch me at a good time, but if i don't respond or i seem inattentive, well, you'd get the same response if you were calling me out of the blue at a busy moment.

What JBR said

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 19 April 2004 23:54 (twenty-two years ago)

less defensiveness more discussion of people announcing they're naked and wet please

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 19 April 2004 23:55 (twenty-two years ago)

hi anthony, i'm naked and wet

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 19 April 2004 23:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Signing on to AIM, hearing bizare voices and realizing that AIM now plays the Mean Girls trailer at the top of your buddylist: C/D?

― C0L1N B3CK3TT (Colin Beckett), Monday, 19 April 2004 23:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I always leave the sound off on AIM.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 19 April 2004 23:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a weird obsessive compulsive thing about repeatedly checking away messages, so fuck AIM.

― C0L1N B3CK3TT (Colin Beckett), Monday, 19 April 2004 23:58 (twenty-two years ago)

"alex, they've blocked the common ports. Change yr AIM preferences to use another point and it should work fine."

Believe me, we've tried everything. It's all blocked now. If you have some suggestions for ports, I'll give it a shot, but I'm pretty sure everyone's AIM is now a no go.

next time somebody leaves "shower" as their away message I'm just gonna send them lyrics from "Get Low." SKEET SKEET SKEET SKEET SKEET

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 00:02 (twenty-two years ago)

my friend has "at the caff," "eastenders," and "sleeping" as his away messages, because since he's been working from home those 3 things are pretty much the only things that drag him away from the computer.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 00:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Mine is "I'm showering, one drop at a time."

― ...in bed. (Chris Piuma), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 01:19 (twenty-two years ago)

"skeet skeet skeeting all over my monitor --- got any wipes?"

― Kingfish Disraeli (Kingfish), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 01:49 (twenty-two years ago)

i really don't have the masturbating one. I used it once but didn't save it. Mine:

"ILX chat harpies, begone!"

"Feeding Chingy brb, yo"

"Cleaning, don't laugh"

and

"Gone to Ships"

I use those when those things are actually happening except I need to delete the last one since i don't go there anymore. maybe I'll put the rubbing one off there instead.

People who set their MSN log-in name to "Busy all day, don't speak to me": DUD. Don't fucking sign in then, jackass.

You really should have thought about this a bit more. Consider being busy but wishing to chat to only one specific person.

― Andrew (enneff), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 02:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I use two different IDs: One for the girlfriend, and one for everyone else. That way, I don't have to offend anyone with the "SCRAM! You're bothering me" message.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 02:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I am very tempted to put in the away message 'DON'T MESSAGE ME. AM BUSY IN THE OFFICE, NAKED, WET AND MASTURBATING'.
