Mimsi lives

After a brief hiatus to decide if it's really worth it or not, the Mimsi project is back on. There are so many fun projects to code, like Jonathon's political analyzer, etc, that I just had to stop & ponder if maybe it was worth it to settle for Ruby after all (I code Java at work and won't do it at home -- it isn't fun enough). Well, Ruby is beautiful and elegant, but as an "I like seatbelts" static-typing all the way-type coder who doesn't want to have to test invariants he could just tell the compiler about, it doesn't work for me. Plus, Ruby doesn't give you free multi-tasking. So if I "owe" you a computer program or three, don't worry, I haven't forgotten; it'll just be written in a language no-one's every heard of. :0)

I don't know about "owe," but "covet" would cover it...
