Wow, well, congrats to us 😀

Since I mentioned IRC in the commit log, I should probably tell you how to get on 🙂

You can download any number of wonderful IRC clients for mac. Check VersionTracker for some good ones. I recommend iRC, Ircle, Snak, X-Chat Aqua, and Conversation. There are also command line clients, like irssi, ircII, and BitchX.

Once you’ve got an IRC client, you should read the instructions that come with it for connection to a server. The server you want to join is “irc.freenode.net” (without the quotes). Then, join #adium. You should be able accomplish this in any client by typing /join #adium ( you might also be able to click on a button or something, I don’t know what IRC client you have ;-)).

Hang out in there, please 🙂 We’ll have a rockin’ good time in there, and who knows, you might be able to influence us developers a little 😉

What in the world could that be!? 😉

[edit: Spike filtered out… you should’ve seen it, it was huge! 🙂 ]

St. Petersburg, Florida, is absolutely gorgeous… I love fall break which, for those interested in work on the secret project (which is preciely what you think it is, fools! Don’t listen to that Colin character.. he’s a terrorist. Just kidding, Mr. Rumsfeld.), ends Wednesday. Some things, like daiquiris and hot tubs and beautiful girlfriends, just have to take precedence over libs and the mastering thereof. Cheers from the Sunshine State!

Lord of the Libs 😀

I am the lib master, apparently.

The RSS feed no longer munges returns, and is being run every hour at :45.

Well, the top secret project is underway, officially. I worked on it for about 4 hours last night, and then Adam did some work on it today, and now I’ve picked it back up. There’s still a long way to go, though, we’re just getting started. To the few people who know what’s going on, remember, don’t spill the beans! 😉

To the rest of you: This super top secret project is a real milestone in the development of Adium. The developers in general, and Adam and I in particular, have been looking to do something like this for a long time now; in fact, Adium was designed for something like this. Once it’s complete, prepare for a new age of Instant Messaging on the Mac.

(I’ve given you enough clues, but it’s really not what you think it is :-))

I’ve now built a copy of Adium from XCode in Panther with the 10.2.x compatibility libraries enabled; no problems have been reported running in either 10.2 or 10.3. All will be well; no worries.

Panther is coming on the 24th 🙂

There are lots of new developer goodies, but we’ll be careful not to break 10.2 compatability. I’ve also heard that XCode makes it easier to keep compatability with older systems, which should definitely be a plus.
