The funny thing is, I was just building a website and came to the page and saw the chat, and instinctively thought that someone had installed a chat client on the blog. So I kept clicking on it expecting to be able to enter something in. Finally, I figured out it was a picture. Thank God for Texaco and Josh losing gas caps.
Ian found that in the Gmail chat pop-up window, any smiley-faces you type in will animate, i.e. be turned right-side-up. This means that the chat client recognizes certain combinations of characters, and we decided to test it to see if, somehow, a renegade programmer had added anything for (as Josh likes to call it) the "eight equals dee scale".
They didn't, but it will recognize the =D part as an expression and rotate it 90 degrees, hence the reason I simply had to post the screenshot.
You go Conoco.
