The problem that I see with "office hours" is that occasionally I need a break, and go play my PS3, go to the bar (and drink copious amounts :) ), go to the grocery store, or do something else similarly in Real Life(TM) that takes me away from the beckon call of IRC. However, what I *have* done, and encourage others to do, is to set up a GrandCentral Webcall button on my blog[1]. This allows my phone number to remain private, however, folks can call me whenever they'd like, even if I'm engaged in Real Life(TM) activities. There's more bandwidth available via voice than IRC anyway. Unfortunately, it only works for numbers in the US, but hey, it's better than nothing! I'm more than willing to have "office hours" via this (which for my loser self is pretty much any time after work - or during work if I'm not busy, which is unpredictable - or during the evenings and weekends).
