It now looks as if something's going to happen here after all. But we should still chat sometime soon anyway!!! I use Skype for chatting these days - just as an instant messenger, though, no voice chat. Do you have Skype?

Something's been weird with my Skype recently, though, I just notice, now that you mention forgetting to sign in. It used to sign me in automatically when I start up the computer, but it's stopped doing that, which means I haven't been on Skype in... a while. Will have to look into that; I hope it's not broken in some way. Though I guess I can always reinstall.
