I'm a little perturbed with my chatty proggies lately. I wonder if it means all of their servers are getting too big.

AIM - been pretty good, lately. falls down now and then, but gets right back up again.

Yahoo - Weird stuff. folks visible to others but not me, or vice versa. (makes creating a nice group chat testy)

ICQ - the most pesky offender. I was sending messages back and forth to my sweetheart yesterday, when they suddenly stopped. it turns out we kept sending, but neither of us were receiving! not even in our history, just one ways. I did, however see when she logged off to drive home.

I've grown very dependant on gabbing with my sweetheart during the day. Pesky when our 'telephone' is spotty, but I guess I can't complain too much... it's free to use.

Thank goodness for e-mail. :)

Ugh! Its frustrating, isn't it? Whatever happened to just plain old text chat? Maybe if all these programs stopped trying to do everything in the world but slice bread and make soup, they'd actually work!

I miss the good old days of IRC and BBS's (the days before 14 year old hackers and MUD addicts.) *sigh

sorry to vent! :) How are you today?? :)

I think you're spot on there.

I miss BBS-ing, too.

A little sicky still, but I'm making progress, slowly.

How're you doing?

There's another new "new" Yahoo messenger. It's not beta anymore. I haven't had any problems with it yet. No mysterious people either lol...

hmm... I'll wait a week, then jump on it. :)

I'm sure I'll hear if you have trouble!
