Today I realized that the IRC command for making third-person statements about yourself, /me, actually works in iChat.
So if I type /me is going to bed. the other user will see "Dan Palka is going to bed." I thought that was pretty cool, but haven't been able to find any other IRC commands that work. Anyone know of any others? To bad /whois doesn't work...
At least one IRC command works in iChat

I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do.

I've known this for years, it's quiet funny, as you've shown above.
Re: At least one IRC command works in iChat
if the other party is not using iChat though will the /me command still parse my name through for them or will it just show the /me?

It just says your screenname and the line as you typed it, including /me, as if it were a normal IM.
