i got sidetracked a bit and instead of doing real work, i ended up going through my icq message archives a little (i’ve had an almost continuous archive since i started w/ icq. i have 39651 sent and received messages recorded, with the first on 11/20/1997.

i was halfway there looking up the numbers, so i decided to make a little percentage chart of some of the people i’ve talked to most (more than 1,000 events, ordered by oldest first message). actually, i wonder if there’s a icq stats tool that will generate all this useless stuff automagically?
