I always enjoy (from an intellectual perspective) seeing two translations of the same thing...
When I compare your rewrite to mine, I notice that I semi-unconsciously had Matz and Keiju writing some lines as full sentences with correct English capitalization, and others as fragments starting with lowercase letters. That's often how English chatlogs look, after all. I have a Skype chatlog in my other window, talking with my product manager, that has a similar feel - I don't capitalize when I'm continuing the thought from a previous chat message.
And of course, I missed a few things you didn't - I'm not as conversant with tech-related Japanese.
It's tricky to come up with an idiomatic way to show two people discussing in Japanese an English play on words. Not to mention the Japanese "how is that spelled?" question that doesn't make sense in written English.
