[Wocky] 2 instances of Jabber, with Adium

[Greg Hudson]

I believe this is an Adium bug, though I'm surprised it hasn't been
fixed yet.  It shouldn't be automatically reconnecting when you get
logged out due to a resource conflict.

It's easy to work around.  Pull up your account info for your Jabber
account and look for a field named "Resource".  (I don't know exactly
what the dialog looks like; you may have to select advanced options.)
Change the resource on your home machine so that it doesn't match what
it says on your work machine.  Then you should be able to log in from
both places at once with no conflict.
