Well i am on my phone and my dad is doing something on the computer. I guess i can hop on my phone but its low on batteries and if the connection dies i will dc so if i suddenly vanish youll know why but sure i guess i can try now on my phone :)
looking at out timezones looks like we can arrange a time for your morning and my night like anywhere between 6-11 am for you and 5-10 PM for me. However i might not be able to get on irc tonight.
