Hi,

A number of people prefer IM contacts over more traditional means such as IRC or email, which is fine. I’m flexible, and happy to accommodate such modes of contact. But if you send me a message — please ensure your client is “Online” and not set to “Invisible” or similar settings when you message me. I ignore messages received from “offline” clients.

The best protocol to use for IM when contacting me is Jabber/XMPP — everything else I use via a gateway on XMPP.  Likewise, the best protocol for voice chat is SIP (I use Ekiga at my end) as that works on both the MIPS boxes I use, and the x86 boxes — but I can accommodate Skype if desired.  MSN works, but due to the fact I access it via XMPP, I’m not able to use any of the advanced features (file transfer or voice chat) offered by MSN.

For those who are wondering how to contact me via instant messengers and/or VoIP, contact details are listed on my devspace homepage.
