So long as you don't perform any experiments on me, I'm yours for a while.

No promises.

bmarkey, why aren't you in IRC with lipstick and me? He says your his best friend. And now I'm suspicious.

Lipstick says you ought to be working, slacker.

No have IRC on the computer. And I'm afraid to screw up broadcast. We had drinks with Mr. Thespian and matidaben this weekend, so that much true. And I'm home from work now. Hence the Maker's Mark.

IRC is easy. (And lipstick didn't actually say that. I made it up. Although I'm sure he loves you.)

Try this, if you have a mind to: http://www.slashnet.org/java.php

I should prolly mention that I play some of this stuff last week, so parts of it might seem familiar. Also, my co-host this morning is Martin the cat.

All it shows me is a tiny cup of coffee.

I am totally in love with martin.

Didja try the java IRC link? Huh? Huh??

OK, it resolved. What do I do?

[Note for the rest of you: This is the bmarkey/mudpuppie thread. Move along.]

Boo, java!

Oh. Hang on, bmarkey. Instructions will follow.

Type /join #metachat

slash first. no space. no other punctuation that what's typed above.

Yeah, I tried that. I think I broke it. Stand by.

Hey, my email is in my profile, if I can help. I get gmail popup notices, so email away if'n you need assistance.

I am too stupid for IRC. Fortunately, I am used to this.
