... an online service that converts uploaded chat logs to another format and returns the new format to the user.

Before You Even Think About Using It
You probably can't, at least not as of this post, 21 March 2011. Log2Log is on version 0.0.1a1, which is a very early development release. There are bound to be problems and bugs everywhere. We have acknowledged many of them and would like to fix them, but we're quite excited to get the first release of Log2Log out to you.


Why We Made Log2Log
Alright, everybody! Storytime!

I, Deltik, love to use Meebo as my mobile Internet messenger. Meebo isn't "good", in my opinion, but one thing that made me choose Meebo over other services was that it has the ability to store chat logs. Now, don't argue "But IM+ saves chat logs too!". Firstly, back then, IM+ didn't save chat logs. Secondly, Meebo didn't cost me a penny. Anyway, I used Meebo often.

Over time, I became increasingly concerned that Meebo did not have a feature to download chat logs. As a personal data hog, I urgently need to have my chat logs with me where I can protect them from harm. Finally, one day, 21 November 2010 at 09:52 PM, I contacted Meebo support to request a feature that had been requested plenty of times before—the ability to download Meebo chat logs. Take a look at my conversation with Meebo Support.

One day, 01 January 2011, I reached my frustration threshold and founded the Log2Log project. (It was officially named on 02 January 2011 at 07:50 PM, a candidate among "AdapChat", "Online Chat Log Converter", and "Log2Log".)

After over two and a half months of work, I finally reverse-engineered Meebo and created a fully automated system that can download all Meebo chat logs.

That's not all, folks. I thought that since I was going to convert Meebo chat logs to the format of my current IM client, Pidgin, I might as well expand Log2Log to a full online chat log conversion service.

In a nutshell, there was a primary reason and a secondary reason for making Log2Log:

1. To download Meebo chat logs
2. To be a better chat log converter than Chat Log Converter+ by using better algorithms

Mission Statement
Deltik is commited to provide quality benefit to the world with what we have.  It is our mission to support the brilliant inventors who stumble upon here, brainstormers, thinkers, idealists, builders, and makers.  We strive to disseminate our products, services, and useful information.


How We Work
You tell us. It's kind of like "You tell us what to make, and we'll make it." Not really, though... It's more like "You tell us what to make, and we'll help you make it if we can and think that it's a good idea."

Not like this: "Make me a pet unicorn!"
In response to that request, Deltik issued the following suggestion: "The Deltik Organization regrets to inform you that we do not have the resources to make you a pet unicorn. Instead, we have a suggestion for you to be able to model a unicorn: try inserting a knife or dagger through the head of a horse, preferably an already dead one. That way, you can see the basic physical features of a unicorn without actually having one."

But like this: "You know what? I am really annoyed by immature people. What can you do about them?"
Then Deltik would procede thusly: "Dealing with immaturity by yourself is something that isn't established in the world today and could be a huge help to society if everyone knew what to do. We have taken your idea of surviving immature people, and now, we have our unconventional Psychology team working on a fix for you. It's doable; we think that we can cure immaturity."

We make stuff too: "I would like an interface to create online practice tests for my students."
And Deltik to the rescue!: "There are already graphical assessment generators out there, such as the Quiz activity module of the Moodle Course Management System, but we feel that such tools existing today could be redesigned to be better. That is why we founded and support Kweshuner Quiz Script, our way of generating assessments."

Deltik wouldn't function without good people backing it. We can't do everything by ourselves, so we let you take command of your own designs and projects. Well, why even bother if you just take over yourself?

• You get to control how your projects are developed, so there's no way Deltik can misinterpret exactly what you want.
• You get backing from Deltik. Deltik will give personal-level support for the fantastic contraptions that you design and build.
• There is also a community right here to help you or receive help from you. Yes, it's this central location called Deltik.
• Deltik provides the resources for you to easily deploy many of your completed products.
• You might be surprised at how many people want to use some ingenious thing you create. Deltik can help get the word out to people.
