Hee. Hee. Hee.  My IM Cover's Been Blown or IM Even they Are "Sleeping" I have a tendency before busy days to go to sleep early and get up at the crack of dawn (or earlier) and work hard when the world is still, when even the cats are sleeping.  It's a wonderful time for productivity.  And, generally, I leave my Yahoo IM flag set to "Sleeping ... Zzzzz" or some such silliness.  This morning I came down at about 3:30ish and, right after I sat down, I heard the siren sound or "Brrring..." of Yahoo's IM calling to me.  It turned out to be a contact in Italy (who will remain nameless) that wanted to show me a very cool thing.  Here's the IM dialog: fuzzygroup's status is now "Available" (6/12/2002 at 3:43 AM) Italy: Knock knock... fuzzygroup: Hi there fuzzygroup: How'd you know I was up? Italy: Well, I saw you in my contact list, and given your usage patterne I decided to give it a try ;-) fuzzygroup: lol. Grin. Moral of the story: Try IM'ing people even if they claim to be unavailable.  A lot of times they actually are and if they want to talk to you, they will. 4:07:59 AM  Google It!  comment []   IM Me About This
