I totally love sync services.

With XML logging, I don't see why we have to worry about whether the  
logs are per-session or per-day; either way, logs can overlap (open a  
window on one computer and chat for a while, then sign in elsewhere  
and chat there without closing the first window) and so we'd want to  
do time stamp comparisons whenever files are present for a span of  
time on both systems, rebuilding a new XML file which integrates the  
chat in the order it took place.
