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 an 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.
