Started working on a file scanner today. This project is a result of my cluttered hard drives. I have music and photos and videos all over the place, with duplication, etc. I need to consolidate them, index them, and make sure they are all stored safely on one set of RAID-1 drives.
This is also an attempt to get out of the C# trap. Since I use C# a lot at work, it's become my go-to language. This sucks in a non-MSFT world, like the Mac I use at home, so I'm writing the scanner in Java. I used to have mad Java chops, but have mostly lost them over the past 4 years. Hopefully this will bring some of that back.
Ideally, I'd like to write this in Objective C or C++, just to really push myself, but I don't want to spend a ton of time on this particular project. Java is a lot like C#, so I'm hopeful this will be wrapped up fairly quickly.
