Adventures in C#
I’ve started playing with Visual C# Express. Microsoft has released it for free(!), so I dove in. I’ve not programmed in C# before (or any object-oriented language, for that matter), so I’ve got a bit of a learning curve. But it’s not too bad. I’m already whipping up a program to connect to an IMAP account and scan the inbox with SpamAssassin. It works great so far, but when I run SpamAssassin under Windows, it bogs down the whole machine and takes about ten seconds per email. That won’t do at all. So I’ll have to look into that. Regardless, I’m having fun and it’s nice to have the time do so.
On a tangent, I got my first comment spam today. I feel all grown up now!
