AIM culture and interruptions

I have a failrly large buddy list now, both from Google chat and AIM. Most people use AIM because it's...owned by AOL? I don't really know. but anyway, I do too and I use it for a lot of work related discussion. I've noticed a particular type of person who appears to have some kind of "online notification" or "buddy pounce" feature to their AIM client because every single time I leave "away" status or come online, within moments I get a "hey" or a "yo". I like talking to these people but I find it extremely odd that I come to expect a feeling of hesitation when I open my IM client, thinking to myself, "do I really want to pay attention to this person right this moment, because I will have to."

Packaging Asterisk for Debian

Building sarge backports from sid for asterisk was easy:
echo "deb http://ash.97montrose.org/packages/ binary/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

However, finding MySQL support was not. I'll be building a backport of asterisk-addons 1.2.1 for sarge soon. I've built a .deb for asterisk-addons-1.2.1. It's in the repo. It appears no one else has done this very publicly. Maybe I'll get in trouble with the man?
