Pidgin creates logs by saving the contents of all incoming and outgoing messages to a series of files on your hard drive. The log directory can be found in Linux under ~/.purple/logs . Inside the log directory the files have the following setup: protocol/screenname/buddyScreenname/yyyy-mm-dd-hhmmss.html So for instance, if I started talking to my friend bob on AIM from my screenname CoolGuy at 1:49 PM on Jan 23, 2009, the file would be saved as logs/aim/coolguy/bob/2009-01-23-134900.html

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
