Journal SwansonMarpalum's Journal: Starting Development

Well yesterday I got down to business and started developing my first piece of Open Source Software. Called SecretAIRate for the time being, I want to make it a very easily usable and modular general purpose utility for e-mail based on Bayesian classification. Having been sketching out the idea in my head for the past couple of months, it felt good to commit something to bytes.

I started off, easily enough, with writing a simple POP3 client that integrates to my modular interface design. The project so far is planned in Java. Why Java? It's quick to write, has excellent networking support, and provides a nice platform for modularizing code. Why POP3? Because I have a POP3 account to test it with. IMAP support will come along at a later date.

Didn't get a chance to test it, but I'm so good I won't need too! Ha ha. ;p More as I develop it.
