It's kind of an implementation detail, but I would vote for putting  
the log file in the Chandler profile directory. For one, there's no / 
var/tmp/ on (non-Cygwin) windows machines, secondly, that will run  
into problems if multiple users should ever run Chandler on the same  
machine, and lastly, somewhere beneath the user's home directory is a  
little better from a personal privacy point of view.
