Have been too busy with work lately to even think about working on my project…
Well for those who haven’t noticed it yet, I have started to work a little bit on Toobo’s application architecture. For a start I have chosen to go with a multi-process model with each core functionality running as a separate process.

Else, you would run into issues and waste a day just like I did.
