Les posts on the new MSN Web-based Instant Messenger, which is, indeed, pretty keen-looking.
I started using MSN Messenger some months back, but now am using the Exchange-based Windows Messenger instead (since it can tie into the MSN network, and thus is only one window open). While our company once had the IM ports blocked on the corporate firewall, they opened it up a while back due to use by various and sundry (and lacking an internal IM standard). It’s good to know that … well, there’s some other avenue open for communicating off of a web-only manchine.
What makes Les’ post mildly surreal is that he has a screen shot of my IM conversation with him about it this morning. Though, at least, he didn’t catch any of my typos …

Alas, this goes into the pile with every other instant messenger software: the site is blocked by the servers at work.
Obviously you have some Extremely Diligent Sysadmins. (From a security standpoint, Margie’s employer, in the same biz, doesn’t block it, so presumably it’s a “No wasting time” sort of injunction.”)
What? Just because I don’t know how to spell “Guinea?” I didn’t have a dictionary handy. I was at work where I’m supposed to be incompetent anyway.
It wasn’t so much the misspelling (heck, I’ve been known to do that now and again, and I’ve got a spell-checker) as then capturing it for All Eternity as an illustration. 🙂
