Seems like a good chance to introduce myself 
I've been reading these forums for a while, usually as a result of a google search for something. Figured it was time I made an account and started to 'give back' a little.
So howdie all!
Hobbies for me have taken a bit of a back seat for now as I've just started a business on the side and am currently running it and doing my day job too -> not that much time left in the 24hrs for sleeping let alone playing
Before that (and hopefully after things settle down), I have been learning to fly a hang glider (I'd recommend this to all, it's an amasing rush), open circuit scuba diving (SSI / PADI AOW) and hanging out on the beach with my two dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Newfoundland)
I follow Dexter, Boston Legal, Stargate Atlantis and The Unit on TV, can enjoy a good multiplayer computer game occasionally, but never really enjoyed chess much
Trekking/Tramping/Hiking is nice with the dogs but otherwise doesn't do lots for me, I'm fairly fit but clearly have too short an attention span so start to get bored :/ I can certainly appreciate the appeal though, just that it's not really for me.

ntalkd
talkd(8) System Manager's Manual talkd(8) NAME
talkd, ntalkd - The remote communications server for the talk command SYNOPSIS
talkd ntalkd DESCRIPTION
The talkd server notifies a user or callee when a client or caller wants to initiate a conversation. The talkd daemon sets up the conver- sation if the callee accepts the invitation. The caller initiates a conversation by executing the talk command and specifying the callee. The callee accepts the invitation by executing the talk command specifying the caller. The talkd daemon listens at a socket for a LOOK_UP request from a local or remote talk client. On receiving a LOOK_UP request, talkd scans its internal invitation table for an entry that pairs the client (the local or remote talk process) with a caller. If an entry exists in the talkd daemon's international invitation table, the talkd daemon assumes that the client process is the callee. The talkd daemon returns the appropriate rendezvous address to the talk process for the callee. The callee process then establishes a stream connection with the caller process. If an entry does not exist in the invitation table, the talkd daemon assumes that the client process is the caller. The talkd daemon then receives the client process's ANNOUNCE request. When talkd receives the ANNOUNCE request, talkd broadcasts an invitation on the console of the remote host where the callee is logged in, unless the caller specifies a particular tty. At approximately 1-minute intervals, talkd rebroadcasts the invitation until either the invitation is answered by the callee or the call is canceled by the caller. Debugging messages are sent to syslogd(8). For further information on the files used by this daemon, see the syslogd command. FILES
