I've done pair programming extensively, both for personal projects and at work. Pair-programming sessions are not the time to process email; IMs/IRC are treated as interrupts (quickly check if an urgent response is needed and otherwise defer); meetings are something you schedule pair-programming sessions around; deployments are a great thing to do as a pair to reduce screwups.
