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.
