Sorry nothing has been posted for a few days. I have been on the road (New York) and while I was gone a power outage brought down my servers. Usually, a surge simply causes the computers to restart and a link in the “on startup” folder restarts the server software. In this case, the power was out for some time and both servers did not restart the software. Hasn’t happened since the flood of 1997.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Kim Kommando<\/a>, the tech radio talkshow host, offers the following kid IM slang. She suggests parents need to be aware of what this “shorthand” means.<\/p>\n

Here are some other codes the kids use when IM’ing:
\nPOS — Parent is over my shoulder so watch what you say
\nPOP – Parent is on prowl and could walk in any moment
\nSOS — Sibling over shoulder who will tell on me
\nASL — What’s your age, sex and location?
\nTTYL — Talk to you later
\nBRB — Be right back
\nHHOK — Ha hah, only kidding
\nMOATM — Music on at the moment
\nLQ — Laughing quietly because someone is in the room
\nG2G — Gotta go!
\nCTN — Can’t talk now<\/p>\n
