Welcome to the first edition of Useless Tip of the Moment. We will be talking about adding yourself to your own buddy list in iChat, though it is only temporary.
Normally, iChat does not allow you to be on your own buddy list. If you are on there, it simply does not display you. A way around this is to create a new chat with Command-N and press the plus sign in the participants drawer. Select "Other..." and enter your screen name. Then, drag yourself from the drawer to your buddy list. You'll stay there until iChat notices or someone on your list signs off or changes status.
