Of men and women and there IMs...Why am I rambling about some such topic? Is it really unlike of me to jabber on non-tech topics... :-? ewwwwwwwww lets explore the not-so-tech side...of people's IM-habits, IM-eccentricities, IM-egos, IM-hyphenated things.....
Lets start with a Sunday morning newspaper MCQ
Quantitating ur IQ: IM Quotient
1. Buddies Count?
a. Who counts...c'mmon
b. ummmmm
c. The messenger length/breadth is higly distorted (lengthwise)
2. Buddy Online/Offline ratio?
a. very very less than 1
b. approx 1
c. much greater than 1
3. Who's the 'initiator'?
a. me...i am a very good guy/gal ya know
b. depends
c. how do u do that? every time I login IM screens mysteriously pop up everywhere
4. Ur IM input/output ratio:
a. I am gr8 at typing ya know...my im windows are splattered with my say
b. Neva thot bout that really
c. **shrugs**
5. Away message
a. Who's away? me ...r u kiddin me
b. Sorry, I ran out for a bit! (classic Gaim)
c. i did'nt know ya miss mi so mach laddie
Ok lets see how U scored:
Mostly As: Its CyberSpace in case u did'nt notice...u can do without being urself..."Wake Up"
Mostly Bs: Well U r managing it well fella.
Mostly Cs: Ok...you dont have to be truthful evertime
After that taxonomy of IM creatures lets chk out something more about the IM-culture.
Dogs and bitches...
Hyenas, spiders, bees, dogs and other of those NAT GEO creatures. All these species have one common characteristic - the male must make the first move. Humans stick to their animal instincts in the IM land too. When a female collegue/ friend/ UFOD (undefined-female-object-of-desire)/...sorts... come online it is the moral responsibility of the male to 'initiate'. Female initiations are kinda rare cosmological events and need careful investigation.
Cant we just leave behind all our inhibitions when we are atleast IMing?
Should I/ Shouldn't I moments...
Okay so u login to ur account. U see this list of online buddies. U r not exactly in a mood to chit-chat. Okay with some of them, but not others. It is considered to be rude if you r online and donot IM with other 'available' onlines. So wat u end up doin is waste some bandwidth with some non-sense for 2 mins. Hang up with regular 'tc's and 'bbye's and ...the sorts. Why do all that? If u wanna chat plz initiate, if they want let them do it.
Bloated Egos...
Giving out ur IM id to ur boss is a very BAD idea. Bosses expect u to initiate, to do most of the chattering, entertain them...Besides the bosses, some other people around you who are'nt exactly ur bosses but create such an impression are like pseudo-bosses. These are the domineering sorta people. They have a kind of air to themselves. They will reply least frequently, with minimalist use of words, with huge latencies.
The END Problem...
Okay...this is not the end problem of molecular biology (d-uhh DNA replication)....this is a classic IM end problem. Let me put it straight - "How does one end an IM conversation?" People have this habit of trying to end the convo by these one liners:
tc
gnite
bbye
cya
ciao
chao
c u around
lets part
over n out
. . .
But no matter what u type...the person on the other side has to come up with some reply so that he-may-have-the-last-say.
The Solution: Well...it seems the problem has been solved by biology. When u wanna end a convo just type UGA (or UAA or UAG). WHY? Well go n revise ur high school biology. UAA, UGA n UAG are stop codons. What bout the non-science people U ask? In case U did'nt notice this is basically a tech blog and the intended audience is obviously other techies/nerds/geeks. What bout non-bio-science-people U ask? Well... if U r a non-bio-science-fella ; I hate to be the 1 to break it to ya fella but "U dont fit into the l33t group, aadeos" UGA.
more, comming soon...

Eyy..hii...meant to leave a comment loooong back...just crawled over..nice way to solve thee IM end problem.
Hate to prick your balloon...bt gotta say this...don't ya feel that e1 ths isnt workin' nemore??
Either u ignore codon cos u stil hv smthng to say or ur chat partner rudely went ahead n gav ya a codon b4 u'd finishd talkin...wateva
Like the bacteria that developed antibiotic resistance...so hv we evolved :-p
Hi,
I guess. Ok maybe.
watches the deflated baloon fly away...
I guess U've got the supressor mutation. And that too for all 3 - UAA, UGA n UAG !!!
I hope U dont spread the mutation horizontally... :))
UGA. (ok doesn't matter... AUG)
watches the deflated baloon fly away...
:)
How in heaven's name can a deflated balloon fly away..lol :))
answer tht one my scientist:D
as 4 spreading da mutation horizontally.....i take it tht U don't mind, ritte?? leme know ;-))
Hey,
Ok...correction..
watches the deflating baloon fly away...
:)
Horizontally haan...:-?
U _ _ _ _ _....(wateva I always call ya on THESE occasions...)
E1 a deflating balloon...cn it fly away - trashing gravity(do I hear Newton turnin' in his grave) and physics in general??
Altho mite b propelled backwards....if ya call tht flyin..sorry for bein' such a stickler!
did ya mean 2 say BITCH btw...well thn say it! lol...spreadin' d mutation...i wz talkin abt a certain Lout...n u thot....wateva:(
A Fizzicks lesson for the stickler in ya :
A deflating balloon looks like this.
"The inside of the balloon has higher pressure than the outside of the balloon. The air on the inside of the balloon equalizes with the air on the outside of the balloon when the balloon is released. The balloon moves in the opposite direction of the flow of the released air because every action has an opposite and equal reaction (Newton’s 3rd law)."

Sweet dreamz newton...
Altho mite b propelled backwards....if ya call tht flyin..
ref moi last comment
wat i waz sayin was, i call it being propelled backwards(fwd bein the direction of the air flow...phishh) bt if itz called flying thn ok, well n good...i need to verify tho.
oh and tatah, penrose
flying: adj. of fly v.
fly = to move through the air

Sufficient for our purpose here.
Some mercy atleast on people still alive (penrose) would be appreciated.
i.e. flying has no intrinsic directionality
backwards or forwards - its flying all the same.
is the stickler still stickin its around ?
OK the keyword is "propelled" as opposed to "flying"...bt I agree with wat u say anyways.
is the stickler still stickin its around ? ---->huh?
Some mercy atleast on people still alive (penrose) would be appreciated.
my fault...i misunderstood your earlier comment...zis is taken back(my penrose comment)
yawns...
neva mind the stickler commentz...zzz...
UAA UGA UAG.
