Okay, so it IS a problem with my applescript. I told ya I wasn't very good

I found another entry in the trac complaining about applescript connect / disconnect syntax

Okay, will do as soon as the trac comes back online (currently 500'd).

I'm a bit green when it comes to applescript, so please bear with me. I checked all of the scripts on adiumxtras.com and I couldn't really find anything that dealt with dis/connecting accounts in Adium to use as an example. I used the "open dictionary" feature in the script editor to see w...

When I get invited to a meeting via sametime (group chat) - I can accept the invite and join the chat - but every time I send a message it shows up twice on my screen. The other users in the meeting only see my messages once - so I guess that means it's an Adium bug?

Right you are... I've quoted it so now maybe people will understand what I'm talking about.

Wednesday, May 18, 2005 Why a contact list? In most IM applications the contact list is the primary window. However, I think that a transparent, borderless, buttonless window makes for a very poor primary window. The instinctive solution would be to make the contact list larger, less customizable, ...
