Problem
You want to save your avatar photos taken using Adium X.

Background
Adium X, an instant messaging client for OS X that connects to multiple services (e.g. Google Talk, AIM, Yahoo, Groupwise Messenger, etc), includes the ability to take photos using your iSight camera to use as your avatar image. To add a custom avatar choose Adium > Preferences > Personal > Chose Icon. The Image Picker will load up, and you can shoot your photo by pressing the camera button.

Solution

Browse to Macintosh HD > Your User Folder > Library > Images > iChat Recent Pictures. There you will find all of the photos you have taken using Adium X.

I’ve been chatting with some associates about the relation of time, media, and location. In browsing the Web, I came across an interesting tool from AOL that came out into beta over this past summer. Somehow, it never hit my radar: circaVie enables users to post photos, notes and details and then display information in a timeline.

Example of “A look back at the 80′s” from a circaVie member is included below. Cool stuff.
