Below is an IRCQ live chat window.  You can use it to talk to anyone that has visited this page live if they are online.
Use is very simple. Your browser must have JAVA enabled. Next click on the options button. Fill in your user name and click OK. Your user name will show up on the right side of the control panel screen along with anyone else who is in the #gismos.net chat channel.

You can then hit the float button and you will keep the chat window open while you do other things. Check it every so often and when some one comes on you will see their name in the right hand window.

If you get bored you may also want to switch channels and see what other people are talking about.
