This was going to be a post on how nobody's perfect but this is obviously more fun.

Reasons I miss pidgin
- I could use beautiful custom icon sets! Last configuration was the Beastie skin with Humanity icons.
- Could set always status to idle to look like I had a life afk.
- Automatically stored history of all my status changes, and everybody else's too.
- Neat, beautiful html chat logs, with colour coding. Dead simple. I was partial to (HH:mm:ss) Name:
- The interface was simply designed, although a little too spacey and rounded for my liking.
- Plugins used - Buddy state notifications, Converation colors, Enhanced History, Extended BList Sort, Guifications, I'dle Mak'er, Message Notification, Message Timestamp Formats, Offline Message Emulation, Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control, Psychic Mode, Transparency, and Windows Pidgin Options. I had fewer pidgin plugins than Skyrim mods.

Reasons I don't miss pidgin
- Was unstable on Windows 7
- Redundant because inbrowser gtalk is more efficient

A thought:

Is it common practice to remove a former significant other from a list of facebook friend list? Bleeping program was by nature rather incestuous in its entanglements... but a failed LDR, for example. 

The reason I ask is because I jokingly paid an offhand complimen a former lab partner's muscular ass today, though under the impression that he was in a relationship with a lovely fellow Redditor who, as far as I can tell, is an SNSD fan, speaks Portuguese is bisexual, is a Leo born 1990, last updated LJ in May 2009, and calls herself "part Nazi", and shares no mutual friends with me but that's not important right now. What matters is that it was extremely difficult to find her when I forgot who she was because Muscular Ass defriended her after their breakup between August and now. And before anyone asks, I have no interest in Senor Muscular Ass, except in a future productive lab partnership, because his well-defined gluteal muscles are very well-defined and I feel threatened by that level of bodybuilding distinction, and his ex-girlfriend. Well, I don't, but meh, not unless he ends up fitting into my type later on. But there's still the problem of too much internet across both parties.

Which brings me to the first point.

Is it normal to defriend upon breakup?

I also remember seeing Derp and Yee defriend after Derp's northern indiscretions. Eh, I really haven't been looking.

Back to stats.
