I use Meebo's IM service to chat. Even if you don't use Meebo we can chat right here, and you don't need to install anything.
Type a message in the text box below and hit enter on your keyboard to start a conversation. It helps me if you type in who you are (e.g. your name, or how you know me).
If I'm online and connected, it will say so below. If I'm not you can still leave a message. I'm also available as lemasney on AIM.
