It's been a while since I wrote a diary entry.. Let me bring you up to date... I've been working alot on jabba lately, and started a new family of *mini* clients, called wijits. they are basically little, single purpose jabber clients. the main wijit, is a simple messaging only client that sits in the icon tray. the gcWijit , or group chat wijit's only purpose is to connect to group chat rooms, in fact, it will refuse to connect to any server that doesn't support group chat.

On the side, I've been trying to get up to speed on the jabber server. I want to become a server hacker, and I've been looking at writing a transport for jabber.... at this point, it would be either MSN transport, or Yahoo. Getting deep into server code will definitly improve my odds of being hired to work for jabber, and that is definitly the path I want to travel down.

I've also been looking into Perl, at the recomendation of Jer. From reading the intro of a few books, and a getting started chapter, it looks like a way cool scripting language, and I look forward to getting into that as well.
