camworld2:         what were those Dell Guy commercials called?
camworld2:         "Steve the Dell Guy"?
iamthebestartist:  never seen them
camworld2:         hmmm, guess it wasn't you who sent me these links
camworld2:         i'll bet it was tara
iamthebestartist:  maybe us librarians are all the same
camworld2:         heh
camworld2:         i only have room in my brain enough to store data about one 
                   librarian
camworld2:         i should rent space in my brain, make it a ebay auction
iamthebestartist:  you can keep tara's info stored, I'm always available online 
camworld2:         true enough
camworld2:         or i could assign everything to the Dewey Decimal System
camworld2:         but that would require a reformat
iamthebestartist:  I would never understand it then
camworld2:         not sure if I can handle that in this stage of my life
camworld2:         i have a photographic memory for some things
camworld2:         like phone numbers and birthdays
iamthebestartist:  neat
iamthebestartist:  mine is september 5th
camworld2:         noted
camworld2:         someone should program an IM bot that IM's people on their 
                   birthdays and anniversaries
camworld2:         and allow it to be programemd for all kinds of alerts
iamthebestartist:  yeah there's no reason why that doesn't happen
iamthebestartist:  I know the MSN guy who does messenger, maybe I'll suggest 
                   that
camworld2:         it'd be easy
camworld2:         for a time we were working on an Alert bot that IM'd you 
                   stock quotes
camworld2:         you'd IM InlumenAlert with AAPL and it would respond with a 
                   quote
camworld2:         but there are issues of selling services over a proprietary 
                   network like AOL IM
iamthebestartist:  hmm, yeah I can see that -- what about Jabber instead, 
                   opensource?
camworld2:         you could do it with jabber very easily
camworld2:         but AOL could still block stuff to their clients, if it went
                   through AIM servers at all
camworld2:         if you used a Jabber server you could get around a lot of the 
                   restrictions
