apartment internet flakiness

Sorry for PartyChat's repeated downtime. My apartment's TimeWarner connection has taken to being uber-flakey which causes issues in the Smack library I use for PartyChat. Hopefully TW will get its act together soon.

PartyChat Tip #1

If you're in a party chat that you don't plan to leave, alias the party chat name in your
buddy list. This way you don't need to remember that "partychat#@gmail.com" is where you're in party chat "drivel" -- you can see and receive messages from "drivel" itself.

double the excitement

I've managed to corral my friend Rohit in to help me develop PartyChat, so hopefully stability / feature set should improve more rapidly in days to come. Also, a lot of the features he wants to add are best accomplished through rewriting most of the current code (making it better) which bodes well for (a) me doing documentation and (b) the code being eventually released.
