Instant Messaging Mess
January 21st, 2008A few weeks ago, I decided to do something I figured would be a simple, straight-forward task: rename my buddy groups in Pidgin (Gaim). What resulted was a disaster. Hundreds of my AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, and Jabber contacts were deleted, renamed, shuffled, etc. I have no clue what happened.
I’m trying to piece together a coherent buddy list from a backup blist.xml file. If you used to see me on frequently but don’t any more, ping me and I’ll look into it - maybe you were one of the axed buddies.
