who me?

This morning as I was resisting getting up it struck me that I could write the whuffie server program myself. The control interface side of it could be as simple as a web application. To complete the application a simple server side section would need to be written which listens for requests, performs searches when requested, and fires off further requests to the ip addresses in its directory cache.

I know it's probably going to make a lot of people mad, but I'm going to write it in php. On the off chance that I actually get something working, if people are interested enough, they can port it into whatever language they like. I just like php that's all. I happen to know for certain that I can write a server application in php because I've done a simple server app in php before.

So it will be done. Nice way to spend a lazy sunday really.
