I wonder if a private chat might be easy to set up elsewhere.
I already have a personal IRC server with a dedicated webchat interface server, so yes, for me, it is very easy. I think that the next time something like this comes up, I will simply link to it.
Of course, we can’t expect LW to implement that sort of thing when it has dubious value.
To be honest, it would be nigh-trivial to do so: simply embed a Freenode webchat widget. It’s literally one line of code.
Do you want to try continuing our utility discussion that way and see if it helps? There may be timezone issues, I’m in europe, I’ll be available about 8 hours from now, for maybe 4 hours in the evening.
I would be willing to try it, certainly. I am on EST, so that time of day is not very convenient for me… but not impossible. I see you wrote this several days ago, so let me know if this offer still stands, and what time would be convenient—though note that I will be out most of the day this weekend, so it would have to be today (Friday), or next week (Monday+).

The KiwiIRC widget is also one line of code. It’s a lot nicer than Freenode’s own webchat system, but it can still be used with Freenode.
Good point! KiwiIRC is pretty solid as these things go.

My apologies, I only just saw this comment!

The place is chat.myfullname.net.
Ok. To clarify the time, (in EST) I should be mostly available from 10AM to 3PM on weekdays and 3AM to 3PM on weekends.
I will be there at noon EST on Monday, then.
