Email, Weblogs, and Instant Messages are a distraction, at best. Unfortunately they are getting in the way of work again. So I'm going to have to cut it off for a bit. I will check email once every couple of hours. If you need something, want to tell me something, or even just wish to say "hi", feel free to send me an email — I love it. I'll respond, just not as quickly as before. Instant Messaging will remain off while I'm at work. I'm sure I'll eventually give in to the need for a distraction, and fire it up again, but for now, it's off. Weblogs and Journals are an amazing form of communication and collaboration. I will continue to participate in all of those that I read currently, however, I'll be doing so from home, in my off-work hours. The same goes for replies to comments to things that I write.
Because of the work I do, however, I will remain available via IRC. You can find me at irc.freenode.net in channel #revjim. An easy way to access this channel is via the "Chat":http://revjim.net/chat/ link in the sidebar on this site.
Thanks for understanding.
