I confess not. I haven't really yet found a particular problem that I
need to solve that forces me to think about it more thoroughly. It
being relevant to something I'm working on at the moment helps focus
the mind tremendously!

Again, not yet. I have been finishing off a few application updates,
which are all taking longer than I'd expected. HOWEVER, now that you
have found something that I can map directly onto BSC I can have a
think about doing something firmly grounded in real life use rather
than being totally experimental. That's massively helpful.

More news as it happens on this suggestion...

Let me get these updates done and out the door first though. Some have
been sitting on the workbench for far too long now it seems (notably
the new SliMP3 Connector, new POP3 Mailbox Monitor and NewEmailOSD
updates). Then I can either start on some new projects or experiment
with BSC wrt POP3 email. I'll set things up to benefit other xFx-based
applications as far as possible too.
