Based on the size of my trillian log files, i can proudly present:

Top 10 people I speak to on instant messengers

469kb Plasticbag - Mr Tom Coates
96kb Lucia - ex iamcal junkie
85kb Darkgarden - aka Peter Fielding, pixelflo designer
66kb Jen - Miss Jen Rundall, now off travelling the world
57kb LK - Admin at ubbdev.com, and rather ace programmer
56kb Jeff - Porn star Fluffy Love
54kb Sally - iamcal junkie
53kb Stevie - old iamcal sys admin
40kb Lucky - old school friend
39kb Darkfire - ukbloggers junkie, and ex web junkie

It's disturbing to notice that i've almost typed half a million characters to Tom.

I could do the same with Trillian. I have about 25 online friends that I chat with. It can be very distracting.

open the log folders. they'll be something like:

C:\program files\trillian\users\desi\logs\aim
C:\program files\trillian\users\desi\logs\icq
C:\program files\trillian\users\desi\logs\yahoo

and open up the biggest files in notepad to see who they are talking to

big numbers, but when did you start using trillian?
Posted by November Eclectica, 12:43, 11th July 2002:
 
When it first came out. My friend lets me know all about new stuff that comes there way. So, he turned me on to Trillan.
