Don't forget the problems of networking. Networking always has speed of light and latency issues. Darn. Now where did I put my low-level warp field ;-) OTOH, "Programming Jabber" has just landed on my desk, and looks quite interesting. Since I know nothing about jabber (other than 'it's like instant messaging and soap and rpc and all that stuff') I look foward to finding a bit more out about all this stuff. Someone kick me and remind me to write a review in a couple of weeks. Later.
