I'm looking back through my blog posts and it seems I've never posted about my long lived open source project SAFMQ.

Just recently I've had some time to get back to it... As I'm looking at the traffic at Source Forge, and I'm a little downtrodden.  Back in the day (prior to 2014) there was such a thing as FreshMeat which became Freecode and died.  Back then you could advertise your open source project, and you'd get a bunch of traffic sent your way.  I'm not really sure why Freecode/FreshMeat went away, but the official reason was "The Freecode site has been moved to a static state effective June 18, 2014 due to low traffic levels and so that folks will focus on more useful endeavors than site upkeep."  I'm not sure what that really meant, because there were nearly 40 packages announced that day...

Anyway, I'm back at, and some of the things I've been looking into are making it Mac OS compatible, improving some of the not-before/not-after X.509 cert management, and gathering performance tests on a bunch of platforms for comparisons.  More to come
