my modes
Thursday, October 02, 2008 (9:24 PM)
unlike many people, i take msn's default mode settings at their most literal sense. for those who do not know here are the modes and what they translate to when i use them:
online: i am in front of the pc available to chat with you anytime
busy: i am in front of the pc doing something so you may need to wait a while before i can chat with you
be right back: i hardly use this mode because i will be back soon enough to check on your messages
away: i am NOT at the pc
in a call: i am really in a call though i seldom use it unless the call is expected to take long
out to lunch: i can be eating or buying breakfast, lunch or dinner and i can be out or at my pc. either way, it's inconvenient to be typing i guess but i'll try my best to reply if i am at the pc
appear offline: i don't use this mode because this is instant messaging software, i reiterate, NOT spyware!
thank alvin for this post coz he smsed me to ask why i didn't reply him in msn when i was in away mode. now you guys can save on ur smses! =)
