Wow, it has been a while indeed. Well, school has been over for a week, and I have been digging into several projects for work that have to be completed this summer.

We're looking into replacing the Proprietary Mail and Web Filter software with free software alternatives due to better features and greater stability. This will require some fun hacks to get the conversion done. User Mailboxes will be converted from a weird mbox style format to maildir format. Users will be pulled out of the existing system and imported into and LDAP backend. A simplified Administration Interface will be written using PHP. Users will then be able to get mail and proxy access with unified passwords and logins. This really will be fun.

Meanwhile, I'll be using the summer to dig deeper into the KDE Libraries that I have been playing around with lately. They really are an elegant set of libraries. I am hoping to continue with some of the projects that I started on last fall, now that several of the components that I needed to be more stable are getting mature.
