Fix the plugin loading issue Luke had noticed. This is a pretty weird bug that would've affected any new plugins being loaded. This bug remained hidden because we used to load the list of loaded plugins later. So this line, which I think was a typo to begin with, essentially didn't affect anything. Now that we load the preferences early, it was causing the list of loaded plugins to be rewritten at startup.

All IM names have been changed, so we don't get sued or nothing.  We get some 
interesting convos....

17:58:27 Luser: You do any GTK programming?
17:58:43 Zilding: You mean, work on GTK itself?

18:00:16 Zilding: Iz okay, I figured that was the answer.
18:00:26 Zilding: Is gaim written with Athena, Motif, or Xforms?
18:00:29 Zilding: or GTK? :)
18:00:39 Luser: GTK :)
18:00:50 Zilding: I believe you have answered your own question. :)

17:02:17 Zilding: I'm sure not.  So forgive me when I'm not in a very good mood and I have a little contempt for people who use phrases like 'owns', can't spell correctly, and feel the need to capitalize every other letter in their name.  Are you a hax0r too?

Flyn Orange: hehe... Well, I tried to. I was feeling kinda sick. :)
Flyn Orange: Flyn Orange: Would've finished that sucker off if I'd have been feeling better!
hungryguy: I'm proud of you still.
Flyn Orange: PsyAssasin: That's quite impressive.
Flyn Orange: *grin*  Thanks!

Flyn Orange: haha!  That would rock!
Flyn Orange: Good idea.
Flyn Orange: Think I might do that sometime too!
Flyn Orange: There are some truly cool people out there.

00:03:43 Flyn Orange: *shoots you with silly string*
00:03:55 RobFlynn: HELP! I AM COVERED IN NEONG REEN STRING
00:06:54 Flyn Orange: NEONG REEN, Taiwan (AP) -
                      Despite the recent economical collapses suffered due to 
                      massive geological activity over the last month, the very
                      profitable gag-manufacturer of Silly String has 
                      maintained production through the turmoil. Still 
                      employing 324 workers and a management team of 15 
                      Slinkies, there is no risk of a price hike in cans of
                      Silly String over the next few months...

Eric and I were a little weird this night hehe


03:31:43 RobFlynn: "No Bite", she rebuked.
03:31:46 RobFlynn: Rebuked is a fun word.
03:31:51 RobFlynn: I don't know if I used it properly, but it is still fun.
03:31:55 Eric Warmenhoven: i like idiosyncratic
03:32:01 RobFlynn: I like sesquipedalian
03:32:14 Eric Warmenhoven: variations on idiosyncracy are my favorite words.
03:32:20 Eric Warmenhoven: i like them.
03:32:22 RobFlynn: I like sesquipedalian because it is polysylabic by
defination and practice.
03:32:25 Eric Warmenhoven: that's one of my idiosyncracies.
03:32:40 RobFlynn: Idiosyncracy is a sesquipedalian.
03:32:48 Eric Warmenhoven: holy crap
03:33:00 RobFlynn: Sesquipedalians such as idiosyncracy are often times
considered ambiguous.  Why use a large word when a dimunitve one will suffice?

(20:38:57) marv: nosnilmot: I could explain it to you I guess. Sure why not.
(20:39:44) nosnilmot: marv: I'd like to know (I think?), but now probably isn't the best time, I shouldn't have asked
(20:40:11) marv: The buffer is composed to unescaped (no entities) text, with a certain unicode character representing images or smileys or widgets.

18:33:26 <NoName> hello there
18:34:03 <NoName> I just wanted to share some bevavior that I think its kinda of
                  unsafe when using GAIM with yahoo messenges accounts
18:34:43 <NoName> Whenever you transfer files between users, no receiving
                  confirmation is requested, the file gets transfered
                  automatically
18:37:32 <Paco-Paco> surely you have to accept file transfers
18:37:57 <NoName> Paco-Paco, nope, Whenever people sends me files, I get no
                  confirmation request
18:38:30 <NoName> Paco-Paco, and the files gets right through my home directory
18:39:00 <deryni> I find this a bit hard to believe since most people come in here
                  asking for some way to auto-accept.
18:39:48 <NoName> deryni, I just installed fc3 , fully updated it, no extra
                  configuration was done and that's the default behavior
18:40:06 <NoName> deryni, I searched the settings and there is no configuration
                  on this issue
18:40:29 <deryni> I know there's no configuration on it, that's what everyone keeps
                  asking for.
18:41:08 <NoName> deryni, sometimes I get pictures of naked girls in my computer
                  and I guess that GAIM is the one responsible for that since it
                  does not ask for file transfer confirmation

(00:22:45) user:         hi
(00:22:47) user:         can you help me?
(00:22:56) richielaager: I don't know.
(00:23:02) user:         can i borrow a pencil?
(00:24:13) richielaager: Only if you're willing to pay transportation costs
                         to get you the pencil, plus $60/hour for the time it
                         takes me to transport said pencil to you, plus a pencil
                         rental fee of $1/day, plus a one time pencil sharpening
                         service charge of $5.
(00:24:37) user:         I have a 100$ in paypal, where do i send it to?
(00:25:10) richielaager: I hear some guys in Nigeria are looking for account
                         information?
(00:25:32) user:         or can you put a pencil feature into gaim? to create a
                         physical pencil out of a rubber reconstruction machine?
(00:25:50) user:         those guys only sent wood- no lead :(
(00:26:10) user:         they told me it was "invisible" lead.
(00:28:27) richielaager: Interesting... They sent me plenty of visible lead,
                         they said, it's just waiting for me at a holding company
                         in Moscow or some place like that.
(00:28:53) user:         Seems you've been had.
(00:29:09) user:         The invisible lead works quite well.
(00:29:28) user:         Anyways, I'm here to ask a question.
(00:29:29) richielaager: Damn!
(00:29:42) richielaager: Damn to that too. :)

21:26 <An_Idiot> I was considering just making a remote control program
21:26 <An_Idiot> where you type in a password, send it via gaim, and
                 gaim becomes a text terminal
      [time passes ...]
21:38 <An_Idiot>  I'm terribly conservative when it comes to security

19:47 <someusr> hey
19:48 <someusr> how do i set aim to block all users except those on my
                buddy list?
19:48 <someusr> don't tell me i have to log in with the regular AIM :(
19:48 <Paco-Paco> I wouldn't tell you that, because it's wrong
19:48 <Paco-Paco> how about you look in privacy
19:49 <someusr> where?
19:49 <someusr> i can't find it
19:49 <SimGuy> in Privacy
19:49 <someusr> OH!
19:49 <someusr> haha
19:49 <someusr> thanks!

14:12 <colorshape> Is it possible for me to see my friends webcam via

14:13 <Paco-Paco> correct
14:13 <colorshape> ok, then not much to do.

(13:57:33) l33t_h4x0r: Arlight, nevermind.
(13:57:36) l33t_h4x0r left the room ("Leaving").
(13:58:58) LSchiere: *amused* that's the first time in a while that the requester has *agreed* that there is no legit reason to want the feature
(13:59:19) Err: he was not the sharpest knife in the drawer

14:57 <itchypants> [blah blah blah simple question]
      [other traffic]
14:57 <itchypants> [retransmit simple question]
14:59 <seanegan> itchypants: you need to chill the hell out
14:59 <itchypants> seanegan, ah okay thanks
15:00 <seanegan> no problem

(15:57:11) sadrul: the files (at least a couple) in the tar.bz2 are different
(15:57:23) datallah: right.. that is the problem - the code in svn is fine
(15:57:31) seanegan: oh, what the hell?
(15:57:41) seanegan: don't tell me I make dist'ed the wrong tree
(15:57:46) LSchiere: how does the code in svn differ except in gaim's
funniest and the spec.in?
(15:57:50) LSchiere: seanegan: sounds like it
(15:57:53) datallah: you are such a screw up!
(15:58:12) seanegan: I sure am
(15:58:32) seanegan: Ugh!
(15:58:37) datallah: you must have been distracted by um... plugins
(15:58:45) seanegan: Don't I test these things?
(15:58:51) LSchiere: you test things?
(15:59:06) SimGuy: seanegan: by experience, I think we've determined you do
not :)

(07:52:07 PM) clueless21: are you one of the gaim makers?
(07:52:14 PM) Nathan Walp: yes
(07:52:24 PM) clueless21:  cool
(07:52:37 PM) clueless21:  if your busy, i can leave you alone...
(07:53:03 PM) Nathan Walp: if you have a question I can answer it
(07:53:34 PM) clueless21:  umm... well i don't exactly know what gaim does and what it's for. i don't know if i should get it
(07:53:46 PM) Nathan Walp: it is an IM client
(07:53:57 PM) clueless21:  o. what's it do?
(07:54:03 PM) clueless21:  what's an im client?
(07:54:25 PM) Nathan Walp: it lets you chat with other people, like we are chatting now
(07:54:45 PM) clueless21:  oooooooooo... thanks

23:58 -!- seanegan is now known as beta7
23:58 <beta7> Hey, guys, remember me?
23:59 <beta7> We were all supposed to be working on getting me out.
23:59 <beta7> you guys remember that?
23:59 -!- mode/#pidgin [+o elb] by ChanServ
23:59 -!- beta7 was kicked from #pidgin by elb [getting feisty, are we?]
23:59 -!- mode/#pidgin [-o elb] by ChanServ
23:59 <marv> elb: good job getting beta7 out

14:07 <elb> rizzo: I actually prefer elb, and used it for a long time -- but 
            switched to Paco-Paco because people kept asking me what an 'elb'
            was
14:08 <rizzo> elb: tell them it's short for "elbow", and don't explain any 
              further
14:08 <elb> rizzo: I actually had people ASK about that
14:08 <elb> 'is your nick elbow?'
14:08 <elb> "... yes"
14:08 <elb> I mean, what do you say
14:08 <Robot101> elb: was their nick "idi"?

19:23 <-- elb has quit (K-lined)

19:01 <user> whoa
19:01 <user> okay
19:01 <user> now when i try to go into the left over files after the 
             uninstall
19:01 <user> something is seriously wrong because it says "the files on the 
             c drive are not formatted, would you like to format?"
19:03 <user> manually deleting the folder from command gives me a "Data 
             error (cyclic redundancy check)."
19:03 <elb> remember, one line per thought
19:03 <elb> and yes, you have something wrong with your computer, we've 
            established that
19:03 <user> its functioning just fine
