I had a chuckle at the expense of Microsoft over the back of my fortune cookie today…

I’ve long wanted to sync my Adium chat logs across the computers I use. There have been numerous methods that were “meh” at best. But then I had the idea of just creating a Log folder in my Dropbox folder and linking the Adium Log folder to it. This is what I did:

1. Quit Adium
2. Start up a terminal
3. Type “cd Library/Application\ Support/Adium\ 2.0/Users/Default/”
4. Type “cp Logs/* ~/Dropbox/Logs”¹
5. Type “mv Logs Logs.orig”
6. Type “ln -s ~/Dropbox/Logs .”

Now, I have not tested what happens when you have two instances of Adium running at the same time, I suspect there will be issues when logged into the same IM accounts (for those that allow that), but I don’t seen a need to do that really…
