i second the notion for at least an irc server where even if only three
people idle, there would be live chat available for anyone wanting 0
second advice or help.  i do a lot of sitting at my computer working, so
having an irc channel open wouldn't be any trouble.

besides, i'm not always on at 10-12pm ... every day is different, so i'd
probably have a pretty good chance to interact with a lot of people,
regardless of geographic locations :)
