| paul_h | can anyone tell me if there's a way to change my alias on here using Pidgin so that I can indicate that I'm away? | 03:43 |
|---|---|---|
| TheMuso | paul_h: You're better off using /away IMO, people tend to get annoyed when people change their nickname to indicate status. | 04:16 |
| paul_h | TheMuso: just tried that, did it do anything? | 04:21 |
| charlie-tca | whois paul_h | 04:22 |
| TheMuso | paul_h: You need to do something like "/away away message goes here." | 04:22 |
| TheMuso | paul_h: And then type /away to remove your away status. | 04:22 |
| TheMuso | Thats what I do in irssi anyway., | 04:22 |
| TheMuso | charlie-tca: paul_h is Paul Hunt. | 04:23 |
| TheMuso | From the ubuntu accessibility mailing list. | 04:23 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, whois should show status too, shouldn't it? | 04:23 |
| charlie-tca | I typed it wrong. It should have a / in front | 04:23 |
| paul_h | hehe so tried "/away off to bed" did anyone see anything? | 04:27 |
| TheMuso | paul_h: It won't show up in the channel, which is the idea. | 04:30 |
| TheMuso | paul_h: But if someone messages you or does a whois query, they will see your away message. | 04:30 |
| TheMuso | paul_h: But yes your away message is showing now. | 04:30 |
| paul_h | TheMuso: thanks :) | 04:31 |
