Instant Messaging - What It All Really Means
As you probably won't have noticed (as I only put it up last night), I have a new page on the site, where I have "published" the essay I wrote on instant messaging last year. Having been rejected by Nature and several other such scientific journals, I thought I would publish it on the only place I can for peer review. Happy reading.

Ah, finally! The famous essay has been published. I like how I got print screened there as well, thanks for that, made me feel important. By the way, I got a tour of Jan’s house today, it’s actually really cool and interesting and the cats are very sweet and FAT! Do you still have the poetry we wrote? xxx

“x”s mean kisses. Though they don’t really correspond to kisses in real life, it’s just become polite to put them down now.

I’m all for emails. MSN is so passé darlink. Don’t suppose you could write my assignment on ‘adverse possession’ for me? It’s driving me loopy. I’m getting my LRA 2002 mixed up with my LA 1980 and don’t even get me started on the LRA 1925…

Roflcopter?!?!? Very observant article. Maybe a little too observant. I don’t think Nature could handle it. Ultimately rude of them. And your mum’s posting on breakfast reminds me of some baby pictures of you we were looking at this weekend. Very, very messy. But funny to look at. Thanks. Oh, and maybe you should add a section on IM impersonators. Like that other hack, the fake Nick. I’m sure there’s a whole field of research out there for that one. Make them sorry for me. xxxsmoooochsnooooog! JK.
