No phone AND IM troubles!

[ciphergoth]

I still haven't got my phone.

I'm hoping that I'll get it back on Tuesday; if not it's lost forever.

In the mean time, you can often get me on IM (though somewhat erratically when I'm in Hatfield). I'm going to start using my LJ account as my sole "personal" IM account, and stop using my jabber.org.uk account altogether. This is because jabber.org.uk is incredibly unreliable - it's down right now for example - while LJ seems very reliable. So please update your clients: my Jabber address is now

ciphergoth@livejournal.com

and all the others can be deleted. I also have a work IM address, but I'm planning on using that only for work from hereon in.

If you're on my friends list and you use your LJ account for Jabber, you're automatically on my contacts list.

If you're still stuck in the past with some proprietary nonsense for IM, please join us here in the open standards future.
