Today I found an e-mail with the subject “re new sm thing” in my inbox. I almost deleted it, as I thought it to be spam with explicit content of some kind. On second thought, I did write a program called “sm” recently, so I read the message − and indeed, no spam, just comments to the program. A bit like LaTeX where, when you google for it (especially on google images), you do not get results related to the excellent type setting program...

In other news, screen-message has been featured on debaday today. I also got a bunch of nice feature ideas, but I’m reluctant to implement them: I want sm to be a very simple tool, with no thinking or docs reading needed. I’m afraid that if I implement all the nice ideas that others and I have, sm would become a big, complicated beast − but I’m keen to hear your opinions on that.
