I succumbed to the evil empire. No, not Microsoft, the other one.

Oh, I resisted vigorously... until I discovered that the chat module gets through company's proxy when loaded in Firefox. ::silly Snoopy dance:: Sure, the cute little online/idle/away/offline lights are blocked and I have to right-click-properties when I want to see if someone is away, but man, it's working! [/bad Anakin moment]

Today's words of wisdom: When a new service launches, no matter how ridiculous, sign up the soonest possible. That way, if hell freezes over and you decide to use it you'll have your nickname. Naturally, I was too late and mine was gone, gone, gone, so you'll find me at the unoriginal thequeenofstars at gmail dot com.

Chat with me, save me from death by boredom. Also, anyone wants a Gmail invite?
