puzzlement over aim

[dancingyel]

it's absolutely incredible...i've just discovered that i have logs of every single conversation i've had on aim since march 2003 or so. weirdness! now i'm re-reading stuff and being very amused. how does something like this happen, though? i don't actually save my convos...odd.

it just happens with AIM, isn't that cool! I love that feature!

it freaked me out a bit, but i guess it's ok.

I'm pretty sure AIM itself doesn't log conversations automatically, but if you have DeadAIM installed then it logs by default. If you don't, then I dunno.

oh, that makes sense...i do have DeadAim...never realized it archived stuff like that, though. thanks!

I could have sworn that sometime last year when I was doing a comm research project on AIM conversations you mentioned you had DeadAIM and it automatically saved conversations. Maybe that was someone else. Or maybe you told me you had DeadAIM and when I looked it up online I found out it logged conversations.

Don't mind me, I'm still sleep-deprived.

i think i should go back and delete my old ones with sam in case he ever finds and reads them. or better yet, the ones with daee and paul.

hehehe

daeee! paul! i've forgotten about their existence completely. heh. it might be a good idea to make sure you have no convos with them saved anywhere...old aim things make for good blackmail tools.

i have conversations (that i have now deleted) that are still painful to read, even though it's been a while since they've taken place. sad.
