[Adium-devl] Freenode cloak for Adium

[Christopher Forsythe]

*sigh*

No. I'm the one who initiated the conversation with him. I just want  
to get it done (my cloak is going to remain the Growl one even), and  
since the application you put in last time just didn't seem to work  
out so well, I'd rather just file a new one and go "put a cloak on  
these nicks" and be done with it. I don't think it matters that much  
who files it, but this is what he told me some conversation.

The problem I think you and he had with that registration is the  
phone call to confirm it, which is why this situation seems  
advantageous because:

1) He doesn't have to call me at all.

2) If for some reason he changes his mind on that, I live in the same  
city he is in, and so time zone conflicts are just not there.

3) If for some reason there is any real problem, I can just take him  
out to lunch and usually that solves everything. Fried eggs on an  
enchilada usually does that.

4) He knows me in person, we used to work together for a brief  
period, and that kinda helps in some situations (not this one, but  
still).


I don't think he has anything against you, I just asked him what was  
required and that's what he told me. Lilo is a good guy, he's just  
really really busy and this seemed like the easiest route to get what  
we wanted without absorbing a lot of his time in the process.

Evan said it's fine for me to go ahead and do it, I'm going to go  
ahead with it so we can get cloaks that way the fastest. If you have  
any problems with me doing it specifically, I won't file it until  
tonight so that should give enough time for a reply. I will check my  
adium-devil inbox before I file it, but I will probably not be on irc  
for the rest of the day (house cleanup day!)
