MSN Messenger Bugs (Me)
I'm having a bit of a problem with MSN Messenger lately. I have a DSL connection with Bell which seems to be disconnecting for short periods. If MSN Messenger is running and I am "Away" sometimes when the DSL connection is restored Messenger will change my status to "Online". Then when I return to my computer I have a bunch of messages like "why aren't you talking to me?" and "hellllloooooo?" from people. Sheesh. I haven't had this problem until recently -- maybe since a month ago. I am using MSN Messenger 6.0.0602, the latest build available. It would certainly be nice if they fixed this problem. On a related note: just because MSN Messenger says I'm "Online" doesn't mean that I am sitting at my computer at that moment. People have lives outside of a box sitting on their desk -- don't be insulted if I don't answer posthaste, OK people? :) While I'm complaining about Messenger I might as well complain about MSN Messenger for the Mac, which still doesn't have the new emoticons. Anarchy, I tell ya. Posted at October 07, 2003 at 01:30 PM ESTLast updated October 07, 2003 at 01:30 PM EST Comments
"People have lives outside of a box sitting on their desk" Are you trying to tell me rLowe is a real person?!?!? I thought it was some kind of digital system which produced random technical and life related comments via a blog... :) wait, that sounds like a cool idea... I can save minutes a day by creating a "blogger robot" to grab random ideas from other websites and post them on mine... to give off the appearance that I care what people read. (wait, how do I tell them that due to the unfreezing process I have no inner-monologue...)
