Adium 1.3 & Facebook disconnect issue

Ok, so you’ve been running the new Adium 1.3 and have added your Facebook account. You’ll find that this works great.. a much better experience than chatting from the Facebook website. You’ll ALSO find if you have Adium connected and try to use the Facebook website, you’ll be logged out almost immediately.

The only solution for the moment is to (from Adium) click the ‘Status’ menu and select ‘Offline’ for your Facebook account when you want to use the Facebook website. Of course, the opposite is true as well..

There’s a discussion starting up at Cocoa Forge if you’re interested.

  um.. why?
- iPhone 3G now available for online purchase
  a good move.. though, personally, i'm waiting for the next (32GB) upgrade to replace my original iPhone
- Financial site Mint.com releases iPhone app
  A great iPhone app to complement an already great website. Love their stuff.
- Silent protest planned for Jobs-less keynote
  I'm going to make and effort to be polite here, and simply refer to this as childish.
- John Gruber on Apple pulling out of the MacWorld Expo.. no, the other one (Boston).
  "... the twice-yearly Expos [San Francisco + Boston] (1) cost Apple millions of dollars; (2) put a lot of pressure on the company to make major product announcements on the Expos’ schedule, not when the products are actually ready; (3) are not under Apple’s direct control."
- The Netflix Player by Roku | Watch Over 12,000 Netflix Titles Instantly on your TV
  unless Apple drops an enormous bomb at MacWorld next month, regarding the AppleTV.. this sucker is MINE. And my cable company gets the finger.
- Media Temple: (xv) Xserve virtual Leopard Server hosting
  oh, sweet Lord.. and here i've been looking for a reason (and the right time) to move away from Lunarpages. :D
- Google Adds Print Magazines To Book Search
  love to see MORE of this
Amazon MP3 Store
