Good Bye People!!
Life’s ajeeb as usual and ‘am swinging with the mood swings turning into an anti-social moron and so I’m here to say Good Bye to all the lovely people reading this post who happen to be on my IM lists as well……but hey..wait it’s not a suicidal note because no matter how much twist and toils does life bring..I still love it Alhamdulilah as I hav still got a lot more than several others 
However, i’m becoming anti-social neway…hope this phase also ends soon but till then i will try to hide myself in my own little cosy cocoon. In doing this I have also been trying to make my GTalk wish come true….hmm..now u’ll be wondering what a GTalk wish is…well when I started using GTalk my first nick was "Trying to Appear Offline 
" and that’s my GTalk wish too. Ever since then I have tried to devise some method through which I can appear offline in GTalk, watch people coming and going and bug them when i feel like bugging ‘em(Now plz refrain from suggesting me that u could have signed out….I know that but I just din’t want to…weird na..yeah that’s how I’m…an absolute weirdoo
)
Neway, on saturday I carried out this futile search to find out ne plugin which could help me appear offline in GTalk and later I even tried to figure out how could I myself develop one such plugin. During all this I found Pidgin and just when I was about to use it to hide myself from the world (read my IM world)….I found this cute little ‘Invisible’ option in my GTalk. Oh Google….I love u and ‘am lovin’ this option. It’s amazing that it appeared the very same day I was desperately looking for it 
To my great amusement…a lot of people have still not noticed it and till they do..I can play with them…by pinging them staying Invisble and say "Jadoooooo" 
Neway for now this option is just available when u chat from inside the Inbox and is not available in dektop client and gadget versions of GTalk. Here r a few screen shots:
Note that once you sign in using the desktop client or gadget or ne other IM client that supports GTalk…you’ll no longer be Invisble 
PS: I’m just going to disappear from GTalk(that too not completely) and I’ll continue blogging here on my bloggy baby
Good Bye

So you are using my strategies now!

Well, for reasons best known to Google, that option is yet to appear on my Gmail. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I’ve set the language to UK English.

Google’s slowly getting around to implementing more jabber specs
“I hav still got a lot more [lives] than several others” - Nine lives of a cat? ^^
I don’t think I would have noticed your staying offline

I understand..
It happens that you become anti-social..though I fervently hope that I won’t be excluded from you selected few list whom you would like to bug every so often..
