It's a simple script, or an even simpler binding of /nick FooBar to the away button, depending on how complex you want to get. Be wary, though; if you're thinking of doing it more than, say, once a day. There's little more annoying than: * Foo is away (Eating) * Foo is now known as FooEating ... * FooEating is now knoen as Foo * Foo is back from: Eating ... * Foo is away (Bog) * Foo is now known as FooBog .. * FooBog is now known as Foo * Foo is back from: Bog .. [repeat every 20 minutes, sometimes doubling up for typos] People don't care if you're away. If it's that important, use /away and when someone msg's you, they'll get a message detailing it. Otherwise, any messages will still be there when you return from whatever it was you were doing. Nobody expects you to be sat hunched over your computer waiting for someone to ask you something constantly. If they don't get a response within a minute, well gee, they'll guess you're away anyway :) The only concession is if you're going to be away for ages; say, you're sleeping, or going idle for a couple of days (in which case, unless you're obsessive, you might as well quit :) -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.aagh.net/ - Angels we have heard on High Tell us to go out and Buy. -- Tom Lehrer ___________________________________________________________________ AmIRC Mailing List - http://www.vapor.com/amirc/ AmIRC FAQ......: http://faq.vapor.com/amirc/ Listserver Help: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=HELP Unsubscribe....: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=UNSUBSCRIBE
