I've got a good grip on sockets as well as protocols - I've made the ftp server as well as the irc client/http client and proxy client. Don't be worried to ask =) However, there's a lot more work in the updater than it seems - when you one day get to the point that you're thinking about adding it - lemme know and I'll hook you up with the stuff you need to support.
as for competition, yea... This is prolly the only real competition that is in any movement. Nexgen killed it self off by wrong tactics and evox haven't done anything but tuning the last year.
However, there's another unnamed one, that the creators only use internally. Looked quite awesome and the featurelist made me sick in the stomach.. so I've thrown my pillows and my condoms in the garbage - coz I'm not gonna have time to use any of them if I want to keep my pride after it's released =)
nah, competition either makes you quit - or it raises the goal. I think that both you and me are on the same train there - we program for fun and competition just make is fun _and_ interesting. Ofcourse - I have yet to test MXM.
Blazed never tested my XB-FTP
I never tested Blaxed's XtoolBox.
weird how a programmers pride works =) Don't really wanna check out the "enemy" lol No BJ, come to irc some day and I'm sure we'll have a good time.
beer's on me.
