There's never anyone in there though, dammit...

Or have you all discovered the 'ignore' feature?

PSD! Good heavens, whatever makes you think that?

*tsk*

It works the same as the "block" feature on MSN chat, everyone... or so I've been told.

Hey! I talked to you! Just got my airline tickets sorted out BTW. I'm now heading to Seattle at the end of August rather than the beginning.

I've notice that if I try to type a line that's too long, I get disconnected.

I'm sensing a theme here...

Any ideas when M$ will be releasing IE for linux? ;-)

Well, I can get into the chat room, but since no-one else is there, I can't actually talk to anyone.

I got in just after 8pm - Jon and Magda were there, but I couldn't stay for more than a few minutes. Dinner was cooking and I just wanted to check in and say Hi.

My firewall won't let me get in from work.

I've got in fine but am watching the tumbleweeds float past...

<EDIT> And this may sound silly, but a warning to people not to close the Bravenet window, as it disconnects you from the chat room (I like closing browser windows that I'm not using as it clutters up the toolbar)

Sorry, no. I can't (or, at any rate, am supposed not to) use chat rooms on any of the computers to which I currently have access. I'll just have to stick to using the fforum (which takes up quite a bit of my time anyway) instead.

My apologies to Magda for disappearing, I couldn't get reconnected because the network was busy.
