You write a prompt, hit enter, and watch the console light up green. Code pours out. It feels like magic. Then you try to maintain the thing a week later, and you realize your shiny new AI agent just built a leaking bucket.
Well, I've been using iPhoto, Lightroom in it's different beta stages and now I had a demo of Aperture. I've been shooting digital for quite some time now, and scanned lots of negatives from when I still shot film and my parents before me. My collection is about 35.000 pictures, spanned over many DVDs and CDs. Pictures that are virutally inaccessible because I don't know where they are. So I decided a while back to throw them all into a harddrive and try out different programs.
I need Adium for Social Networks. Adium is an IM tool that has 'em all and runs nicely under OS X. Social Networks are exploding. So I thought it would be fun to look for some of my friends, but after trying to find a few it hit me: there are so many networks. I would have to search each one of them. And what if they join tomorrow? I'd have to search again unless they search for me. I have an account at Orkut, Facebook, Blink and probably quite a few others. I usually don't log in to them. So I would need something that searches for my friends in all of them when I search, and which could do that over again whenever I wish to check if they've showed up. Then I'd probably need some interface to keep my information on all of them up-to-date, and to be able to manage them one way or another. Any ideas for an Adium-like client for social networks?
