1) From a petition to port Trillian to Mac OS X:
Most everyone I have spoken to who has come to OS X and tried Adium has said that it is one of the better, if not the best, chat clients out there. File transfer does have a bit of work left on it, but I have no idea what they are talking about when they say " file transfer status boxes". While file transfers do not always work, a status bar pops up and indicates exactly what is going on with the transfer
Right now the program is also fairly feature-complete. Sure, there might be a few minor features here and there that a handful of people would like, but by and large any feature additions would probably fit into the category of "bloat". Video chatting is one of big features that could be added, but since Adium relies on libgaim, this is not exactly Adium's fault (the libgaim issue is also a reason for poor file-transfers)
2) Yesterday I was reading an article on the NYTimes website, and they have an ad for their travel section. Apparently they are having a series called "Where in the world is..." Yesterday's big question was "Where in the world is Jost Van Dyke?"
I knew the answer, and had seen Jost Van Dyke from a distance a few days before.
3) Christmas List: Get this toy and this camera Combine with this driver and this driver.
This is a recipe for a very fun Christmas day indeed.
Adium—an open source messenger that, unlike Fire, actually seems to have a development community centred around it—unfortunately has stubborn developers who don't seem to want to do things to add extra functionality and are taking an incredibly long time to add necessary features such as file transfer status boxes!
