Google Chat--FAIL


me: Georgio!
George did not receive your chat.
me: Georgio did not receive my chat. This saddens me. :(
George did not receive your chat.
me: Curses! It appears that we will be forever parted, and never shall our words meet.
George: D: I seem to have not received your chat.
me: :O But I received yours!
Does that mean Google will allow our words to meet finally?
To partake in an exchange of letters and ideas and... and...
George did not receive your chat.
me: DAMN IT
George did not receive your chat.

I think Gmail might be trying to tell me something here.

The lack of proper communication has left me in despair!!!

Don't despair! Where Google fails us, LJ takes up the slack and allows our words to meet and mingle, forming new ideas and possibly introducing some controversy in the form of metaphors that vaguely resemble innuendos.

I have to upload more icons to make this conversation as fun as it could be.

Shall we meet on AIM?

[identity profile] greyias.livejournal.com 2008-12-08 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
We could... but what if it fails us too? After all, my end is mediated by Google.

...apparently you COULDN'T receive my chat there either. Maybe we really are star-crossed.

I was joking you silly dolt.
Unless you actually said something and I didn't receive it.

This is what I saw:
BHGeorge19: George did not receive your chat.
GreyLupous: ...did you receive my chat?
BHGeorge19: Yes I did.
GreyLupous signed off at 4:00:36 PM.

This is how it went down for me:
me: ...did you receive my chat?
BHGeorge19: George did not receive your chat.
me: Well CRAP
There goes that avenue
BHGeorge19 did not receive your chat.
BHGeorge19 did not receive your chat.

And then AIM flailed wildly, and disconnected. I'm suspecting foul play.

...dude, that ain't right.
What the hell is going on.

Apparently normal communication between us was not meant to be, as written in the stars by the great Instant Messenger Protocol Gods.

...or Google is screwing with their chat server today and didn't tell anyone. They've updated Gmail and Reader recently, they were bound to hit chat at some point.

Yes, but that's not supposed to affect AOL, is it? Oh well.

Well, I only have AIM via Gmail chat at the office, so it could be related.
