yes, but since AIM pc users don't have "user status" message, are these messages intended for ichat users specifically? idle isn't good enough anymore?

QUESTIONS.

cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:39 (twenty years ago)

They don't? I was able to create any damn away message I pleased when I used IM last year. Maybe PCers are jealous of iChatters and are typing in the iChat away message by hand.

STATUS MESSAGE NOT AWAY MESSAGE

STATUS MESSAGES ⊇ AWAY MESSAGE

YES I JUST USED THE "SUPERSETS" OPERATOR

STATUS MESSAGES are little things ichat users can make viewable to each other. sometimes we put what mood we're in, maybe a quote we like from a song or a movie, or EVEN what SONG we are listening to in iTunes!

yay!

cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:47 (twenty years ago)

i like 'i am online but i am playing a computer game which takes up the whole screen'

+++, Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:47 (twenty years ago)

that is an away message. not a status message.

cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:48 (twenty years ago)

come on, people.

s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:49 (twenty years ago)

wow that sounds retarded

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:49 (twenty years ago)

"must prepare computer for my impending absence from it!"

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:50 (twenty years ago)

it's not impending absence. it's "i'm available and this is what i have to say right now."

you pc users are clueless, plus now you have these messages involuntarily!

cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:54 (twenty years ago)

"Away" is a status.

cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 23 March 2006 20:00 (twenty years ago)

charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 23 March 2006 20:00 (twenty years ago)

I don't know but I"m going to be at work late so I'll get to use IM!! Long time, no see buddy list.

Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 23 March 2006 20:03 (twenty years ago)

You were AIM yesterday, NERD.

Ally, me too. I fake idle a lot of time when annoying people from college msg me

R.I.P. West Village Bird Shaman ]-`: (ex machina), Thursday, 23 March 2006 20:09 (twenty years ago)

i haven't been on aim in a long long time :(

Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Thursday, 23 March 2006 20:11 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Jon, for the first time in a couple of months, I think. I forgot how much fun it is to actually talk to people who live in other places. And no, I can't use a telelphone.

Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 23 March 2006 20:37 (twenty years ago)

me neither. i want to chat but it's difficult with a baby on one arm. :-(

Nathalie (stevie nixed), Thursday, 23 March 2006 20:42 (twenty years ago)

should have thought about that before making baby.
