I’ve been using adium since I switched to Mac (note: I switched from linux) about a year ago and have been very happy. I’m a software developer myself and I’m impressed with what you’ve been able to do. Good luck with rosetta and the switch to intel.

It wasn’t talked about in this interview (but maybe the previous one?), but what’s up with the duck? What’s the inspriation?

Ah, I stand corrected. Sorry for my lack of research!

Dan Warne: it wasn’t all done by Evan. I’m another of the Adium developers; there are over a dozen of us.

I will admit, though, that he’s done a TON of the work on it

I’ve been an Adium user since …..jeez, the beginning? I’m the same age as Evan, and back when I first started using it, the knowledge that some people out there my age were building such a kickass application really spurred me to do big things.

Thanks Evan, Adium is my favorite app.

Very nice interview! I really love Adium, there’s an app that has seriously good interface design. It’s amazing that it was done by a 22 year old. That’s a great feather to have in Evan’s cap. So the choice will be medicine or development… tough!! Medicine probably pays better, but perhaps if he was able to get a job with Apple the pay might be OK…
