Chat's all folks!
Apr. 2nd, 2005 12:15 amOkay.
Here's the problem.
I was chatting away quite happily on AIM (actually, I was using iChat, the Mac's built in chatty thing, but still.)
All of a sudden, things go screwy. It starts to insist the guy I'm talking to is offline when he plainly isn't. I restart. I get a 'wb' message from him - I can respond to that, but it doesn't show, and I don't get any more...
I install Adium, another chat thingy. (I am NOT using AOL software.) And realise I've forgotten my AIM password. I have to go back onto the AIM site to get at the blighter.
I'm just hoping that AOL don't think me logging back in = we want their fragging hellhole of a service again... or my folks won't be too happy. It's not letting me change my email address, though - aaarg!
Adium still won't recognise that the guy I'm talking to is actually online... but it'll still let me send him messages somehow. This is a Good Thing. And it looks like a nice program anyway. Even if it doesn't have the cute little speech bubbles iChat does.
And as I type this post, the guy signs off anyway. Sheesh. Internet.
