On the meridian of time, there is no injustice: there is only the poetry of motion creating the illusion of truth and drama.

Complete and total love affair

Yes, I am having a love affair . . . . . with a chat program. No, not on a chat program; you read correctly the first time.

I LOVE Adium! This is an amazing chat program, not unlike Trillian, which allows Mac users to congeal several different chat programs into one seamless program. And did I mention that it is almost completely customizable? This makes all other chat platforms look archaic. I have all the benefits of every chat program, such as MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM, etc. but I also get great unique style and customization that nobody else has. I even have it set up so that the computer says the name of the person signing in. So now when I'm somewhere else in the house and hear somebody sign in, I don't have to run over and see who it is - I'll already know! Here's a screenshot of how I've customized Adium to look. It expands and collapses as people sign in and out. Yes, it's completely strange looking; like I said, I heavily customized it. You could make it look completely traditional if you wanted. But seriously, that's no fun!
