Ideas, Ideas

Well, here's a quick update on what's been going on with me:

Last night, I ordered a Linode for SamAMac. I'm still not quite sure what I'm going to do with it, but it seemed like a good idea.

Then this morning, I got another customer for SamAMac. Strangely enough, it was a guy who I'd considered purchasing a domain reseller account from. Weird. Also weird that it came just a little bit after I'd done the first significant thing for SamAMac in a while.

I also found out about something called Mono. And no, it's not a disease you get from playing Spin the Bottle. It's actually a .NET Framework for Linux! This could be very cool, because as you already know, I've begun developing a spam-blocking MTA in C#. Now, it wouldn't be very widely used if all it ran on was Windows, now would it? But with Mono, it could potentially run on Linux, BSD, Solaris...you name it. I guess C# is platform-independent after all!

And I still am working on that SAFER program. The holdup right now isn't actually SAFER, but System Policies. The format of a .pol file is extremely irritating, but I have to use it if I want the changes my program makes to show up in the Security Policy Editor. Bummer.
