Live messenger

I'm trying to set up an account with MSN Messenger.  Any of you fine folks out there using it, and may I can add any of you as a contact or anything?  Thanks in advance.

I use donnaidh.sidhe@gmail.com for both MSN and Gmail.

I can walk you through how to work it if you like.

That would be great, thanks. Of course, I can't even sign in to MSN right now. I'm feeling like an '80s parent who's trying to program their first VCR: 12:00 ... 12:00 ... 12:00 ...

If you're interested in hearing some open mic stuff tonight, I'm heading to Café Montmartre for 7:00 p.m. Superjill (my zombie co-conspirator) is going to be performing a new song.

I wish I could. This is going to be a 52-hour week, and yesterday was not a restful day by any stretch of the imagination. I'm taking tonight to vegetate.

[themythicalman]

I understand. Get some rest. Rest is good.

Oh...can you sign in with Yahoo? I'd recommend using a third-party program that combines multiple different messengers rather than the first-party ones, as the latter tend to be bloated with features you don't care about and ads you don't want to see.

Is that the same messenger thingie that you and I have used when I log into my e-mail, or this a whole new program?

[donnaidh_sidhe]

Oh, now I understand how you do it.

No, what I'm referring to is a separate downloadable application you use for messenger only. It sounds like you're logging in via the Web browser.

It sounds like I need to take a bit and provide computer education for you. :P

Just wondering when I'd have the time.

Not to worry, lovely lady. I know that you're busy with things that are, you know, important. It's cool, having different on-line options, but it's not like we don't have other ways of staying in touch.
