SinnerG is working on an automated matchmaking service. I'm not. I had before said that it would be an optimal idea, but that it wouldn't be practical. That's why I set up Ubernode.org as an alternative. Ubernode.org is also a bad idea, in the long term, but easier to set up. -Colin > On Sun, Jun 18, 2006 at 04:46:19AM -0400, Colin Davis wrote: >> I want to create this for several projects that I'm thinking about >> internally, and I figured it might be useful to other people as well. >> >> >> I understand that you're busy, that's why I figured writing a bridge >> from Java to the TMCI would be helpful.
