IRC, webcam, IM

From

Date:
I have reconfigured my system so I automatically connect to IRC and
AOL's Instant messenger when I start Netscape, so people will see me
more active in these areas.

In IRC, I am on channel #postgresql(see FAQ for info), and in AOL/IM, I
am bmomjian.  (All my neighbors are on AOL.  What can I say?)

Also, I have fixed my webcam, so you can use my home page listed below
to see it again.  I have moved the camera upstairs to look out the
window.

Let me add one more thing.  I typically did not use IRC because it was a
pain to check the window every so often to see if anything was
happening, and I often forgot to even start it up.

I am now using zircon for IRC and tik for AOL/IM.  Both programs can be
minimized on startup of netscape, so if nothing happens, I don't even
see they are running.

If someone says something, the window de-iconifies and displays itself.
This makes it much more convenient for me.  Both use tcl 8.0.
