But the guys that created freenet are so much better at programming in
any language than I am, and surely as time goes by better programmers
will become interested in helping the project along. So, my wish can't
come true by my own hands. So what? Someone out there has the ability,
and some day maybe someone with the ability will help out freenet.
I don't think it would be incredibly difficult for someone who knows what
they are doing. The people who created Xdrive and Idrive and other
vdrive drivers for Windows 95 and above would find it quite easy to adapt
thier current programs to do what I propose. The difficulty would be
convincing one of their briliant programers to actualy help out the
freenet project.
But that is for diplomatic types, which I'm not, so I can't help there
either.
Any tool a user needs can be created, eventualy, in one form or another,
some day. Why not just keep an archive of good ideas around, and when
the ability to create the tools becomes available, create them. It's
better than just ignoring the ideas as being totaly rediculous or
incredibly difficult to bring to reality. If you can't do it yourself,
give the idea to someone else. If they can't do it, they pass it on.
And so on. Until it eventualy gets to someone who either CAN do it, or
knows someone who can. Then the tool may be created at last. :)
Anyway, I've got ideas popping into my head along with lots of other
random thoughts all the time. My brain is like a constantly moving
kaliedascope, or however you spell it. It can be very difficult to form
a coherent train of thought and type it out in a way that others can
understand it.
Sometimes I can't understand a word of what I've typed for a few minutes,
and go back and start from scratch again. It is very frustrating haveing
