Skint? Out of batteries? No problem. Add mobile@robertjohnkaper.com to your MSN list: I finally have got Sony Ericsson's "My Friends" instant messenger working on my (W810i) phone using my regular GPRS settings and a Smart VAS account (will try Yamigo another time). Wicked. This feature definitely beats having to use the WAP interface for eBuddy.com because it runs in the background and interacts with the regular event/alert functions of the phone, while having an optimised interface (T9-enabled) that simply means chat and click instead of having to enter form inputs and submitting them separately.
Rob's a happy mobile user tonight. IMPS rules!

Most annoying MSN emoticon (ever)

In MSN Messenger, you can specify keyphrases to be replaced with images. Usually used to make punctuation extremely dominant and expressive (pretty ironic for a medium where punctuation is often ignored), or to put some wicked randomness in phrases such as lol.
Most of the time, emoticons are harmless at worst and fun at best. Sometimes, they nearly cause a heart attack.
(In case your browser doesn't support animated PNGs, the text has a border: large, red and blinking. HT: iluvpingviini)

MSN Pong
- Posted by Rob (#1) on July 29, 2006 22:09 CEST
Fun game for MSN: pong! You're going to play a best of 1 game with your mates. The rules are simple:
To start playing, start a conversation with someone saying nothing but "bleep".
If that person answers with a bleep, you lose and must find another person. If that person doesn't respond with a bleep, he/she is now the one who must find someone to play MSN Pong with!
Bleep!
