trillian - skype - gay friends - kinsey report - population study - hard drive - nose-picking man - booga-man

[9/4/2007 10:39:24 AM] pD says: so, if i want to use yahoo IM, i can just install Trillian and get started or do I need to do some kind of registration with Yahoo IM?

[9/4/2007 10:52:53 AM] nsy says: trillian is just a tool to organize multiple IM accounts. you need to create the accounts with the provider - like YIM, AIM, etc.

[9/4/2007 10:53:37 AM] AE says: does it handle Skype too?

[9/4/2007 10:56:44 AM] nsy says: not sure... haven't tried it - but i doubt it

[9/4/2007 10:58:34 AM] nsy says: no, its secure

[9/4/2007 10:59:08 AM] AE says: ah, and I think Skype uses a protocol Trillium can't understand.

[9/4/2007 11:00:02 AM] AE says: so... is the [skype acct1] account becoming inactive?

[9/4/2007 11:00:18 AM] AE says: and what about the [skype acct2] account?

[9/4/2007 11:00:27 AM] AE says: you have so many faces!

[9/4/2007 3:19:13 PM] pD says: hi folks,

[9/4/2007 3:19:14 PM] pD says: am back.

[9/4/2007 3:19:17 PM] pD says: long story short

[9/4/2007 3:19:22 PM] pD says: the best way to find me is via this one

[9/4/2007 3:19:35 PM] pD says: [skype acct2] is the pc at home which is not on most of the time...

[9/4/2007 3:19:42 PM] pD says: [skype acct1] is no longer

[9/4/2007 3:19:56 PM] AE says: OK. thank you

[9/4/2007 3:22:36 PM] nsy says: [co2], eh? ok, then!

[10:01:13 AM] pD says: howdy!

[10:01:19 AM] pD says: i just realized something important

[10:01:50 AM] AE says: that we're not alone?

[10:02:02 AM] pD says: i do not have many gay friends. this is statistically strange...

[10:02:07 AM] pD says: if the kinsey report is any guide

[10:02:26 AM] AE says: it just means you need to get out more.

[10:02:44 AM] pD says: or that i am not fabulous enough...

[10:02:54 AM] nsy says: hahaha

[10:02:56 AM] AE says: daaahling!

[10:03:16 AM] nsy says: what is the stat? maybe i'm under par too?

[10:15:59 AM] pD says: according to the kinsey report, one in ten is homosexual

[10:16:11 AM] pD says: of course, that number has been attacked for poor methodology, etc. over the years

[10:16:37 AM] pD says: and, it may be an overestimate. but i think the key thing was that it is a prevalent form in the society

[10:16:42 AM] AE says: I think the number is increasing of the the years.

[10:17:12 AM] AE says: if we go on the assumption that it's genetic... then we can point to overpopulation as a driving force for homosexuality.

[10:17:54 AM] AE says: it happens in populations of other mammals (citation needed), when over population will result in part of the population being homosexual.

[10:19:50 AM] nsy says: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=0005A6D3-7ADC-14A0-B6C483414B7F4945

[11:10:58 AM] pD says: there should be an easy way to prove the idea, i.e. survey the high population density locations and do a ratio comparison of the gay population

[11:19:50 AM] nsy says: so where are you going to get the funding for your study?

[11:20:12 AM] pD says: AE, of course.

[11:20:31 AM] nsy says: excellent! can i be a field researcher?

[11:26:56 AM] pD says: sure, as soon as i get the grant funding in the bank account

[11:27:12 AM] pD says: first destination Cairo

[11:27:46 AM] nsy says: ooh! you definitely need your field researcher there!

[11:30:10 AM] pD says: i would agree

[11:30:17 AM] pD says: AE? AE? where did you go?

[11:30:39 AM] nsy says: he's setting up a PC for E - all the way across the office

[12:44:48 PM] pD says: E, he is the new chicago guy?

[12:45:02 PM] pD says: is he using my old laptop? Katie was asking me about the pw earlier

[12:45:08 PM] pD says: old guy...

[12:45:12 PM] pD says: poor guy, i meant

[1:51:02 PM] nsy says: no, E - Y's progeny. the new HP HD died, so he needs a temporary PC, but I gave him C’s old one

[1:52:32 PM] AE says: so your secrets are still safe, for now...

[1:52:39 PM] AE says: I'll fund it.

[1:52:52 PM] AE says: oh. whoops, look at the Apple stock... never mind, I'm poor again.

[2:18:13 PM] pD says: E, i see. sorry to hear that the new HP died, too soon, wouldn’t you say?

[2:18:58 PM] AE says: yes... the good always go so young...

[2:19:11 PM] nsy says: yah - western digital drive. the power outage killed it even though it was on a surge strip

[2:19:37 PM] pD says: the one from last week? that was a while back...

[2:19:46 PM] pD says: i guess E was on vacation and nobody was using it

[2:20:06 PM] nsy says: yep

[2:27:01 PM] pD says: how is life in the PA office?

[2:27:08 PM] AE says: silly at best

[2:27:14 PM] pD says: have you guys been looking at the nose-picking man and booga-man

[2:27:16 PM] pD says: be honest now

[2:27:35 PM] AE says: I still smile when I see it!

[2:27:56 PM] nsy says: booga-man is right where you left him - i have no choice but to look!

[2:28:06 PM] AE says: we can't avert our eyes!

[2:28:17 PM] pD says: i was hoping that they have been permanently imprinted on your brain cells...

[2:28:20 PM] pD says: but, i will take that
