Well, it’s finally happened. Bytecode has employed its first non-Glen developer. Welcome Nick Wheatstone.

For a while I’ve been tinkering away on a Java spam filter for the desktop (since I just can’t find one that really does it for me). I’ve decided to put in some dollars and get the app to a commercial stage… actually first to get it working… and then to get it to a commerial stage ;-). We’re also hoping to use the engine itself for a server product, but that’s further down the road.

Nick a sensational young developer from University of Canberra, who’s relatively new to Java, but has plenty of developer runs on the board. He’ll be blogging about his progress, so if you’re new to Java or Spamfiltering, he’ll have lots to share. We’re hoping to ship a product by the end of June (and we’ll be asking for some testers closer to the time).

It’s great times at Bytecode!
