Title: If anyone ICQ's me....
Post by: aldo_14 on October 14, 2003, 04:15:50 pm
And you're not on my list, I'll probably tell you to piss off - if I can't see your details.  Cos i reinstalled ICQ and have only a few people on my contact list, i think a lot of stuff may just get blocked.   And I have sod all idea who was on my list in the first place.

Apologies in advance for anyone I ened up insulting. :)

So, er, just PM me.

I send you messages all the time... And no. I don't feel like squeezing you right now.

heh, everyone using ICQ should install one of the 2001+ versions once and then ditch it in favour of an ICQ v8 supporting client like Sim or Gaim. Server-side contact lists own.

Bah. Sandwich always answers ME. ;)


And yes, GAIM rocks beyond belief. Except for on Yahoo, but that's Yahoo's fault, not GAIM's.

The latest versions of Gaim fix the Yahoo stuff, the only time I'll ever be grateful to Trillian for anything. I'm just hoping as quick a solution can be found for the impending MSN lockout...

Mmmm, ICQ... that mystical land where I never get any work done. :) If anyone's trying to reach me on ICQ (I get offline messages occasionally "are you there Steak?"), I apologise, but I hardly ever use IMs because they limit the amount of work I can accomplish during the time I'm online (read: I don't get anything done). PM me if you have something urgent. :nod:

The most recent version of GAIM in /usr/ports (FreeBSD) still has some annoying quirks for Yahoo. It cores trying to send a ~, and tyring to send any HTML character entity. There's a few other characters that kill it too. I only use it for talking to my wife so I'm just mindful of the chars that cause problems.

yeah, but what if we wanna chat? :D

Post by: Setekh on October 15, 2003, 10:38:43 am
Lol, well, I never thought about that. :D Seriously, though, if I always stuck around on ICQ, I would (a) have half the renders I currently do (because I don't get any work done) and (b) have half the posts I currently do (because I kinda chat through here). So I dunno what you wanna call that, a necessary evil? :p

Or you do as I do: you put yourself on invisible, and put only a handful of people on your visible list so they can see you, that way you're not bothered, but still can talk when you want, w/o being disturbed if you don't want to :)
Title: If anyone ICQ's me....
Post by: Setekh on October 15, 2003, 10:46:05 am
I do that sometimes, actually. ;) But sometimes my invisible doesn't work... :nervous:

Heh, oh well, I'll remember to do that after my exams. Around then I'll be able to chat to everyone here lots because I can stay awake at obscene hours of the morning and fit into your time zones. :)

"Looks at how Steaks post count increased dramatically in the past few minutes"
to me, you already fit in that time zone pretty well, at least :D

That's true. Years of training in HLP have prepared me for this :D

Anyway, I'm finally tired, so I'm heading to bed. Enjoy your cookie :p

Australia is on 'my 3 places to visit before I die' list, alongside Barcelona and Rio.  Unfortunately, I'm not particularly fond of air travel nowadays, never mind day long journeys. :(

(not to mention the monetary factor)

Post by: Setekh on October 17, 2003, 12:53:23 am
Everyone loves Australia. I can't figure it out, does that mean I never need to travel, because I live in the best country already? :nervous:

Nah. ;)

Whenever I get hassled over ICQ by people I don't know, I use the old Eddie Izzard line.

"Hi. I'm crazy Eddie. I stick babies on spikes."

That usually does the trick.

There's probably a usenet newsgroup developed to that very practice, though.  alt.baby.onspikes
