So, after the Slipper Chat at Orchidboard last week, Lien suggested we get a chat going over here. After much deliberation between the co-admins over drinks yesterday afternoon (
) we've decided that the board chat function is a little unruly and rather that if we wish to chat, IM is the way to go. We had a little impromptu 4-way last night and it seemed to work pretty well.
So, if you have the capability and desire, you can add your IM address to your profile.
And if you don't have the capability but you do have the desire, go set one up.
I think it is pretty easy to do if you have one of the standard formats: AIM, MSN, Yahoo, or Skype (no idea about that last one). I'm on a mac and you need a .mac account to use theirs (which works the same as AIM), but you can get a free trial for 60 days at mac.com if you are a mac user and set it up in iChat. I don't know how it works with PCs but mac users can actually audio chat, which is kind of fun too. Perhaps someone who has set it up for a PC can assist anyone who has any trouble with it on that end.
