Json-RPC is out WCF is in

After much struggle with getting the remote admin stuff to work with Json-RPC, I threw up my hands and decided to move in a different direction. I wanted to be able to have a remote admin client that would work in cross platform environments, but this is a case of "You Are Not Going to Need It" (YAGNI). Just about everybody that will be using WheelMUD is going to be a Windows user, so I don't see the point in creating stuff for other OS at this point.

I did a quick test with a WCF tutorial, and the sample worked the first time. Holy Cow on a Pogo Stick! I was able to self host the service, because I don't want us having to rely on IIS for simple stuff like this.

Also, the stupid inversion went away yesterday, so I'm already feeling much better. What's an inversion, you say? Well, the geography where I live, traps the smog against the mountains, when really big cold fronts come from west to east. That causes warm air to be trapped below a layer of cold air. As you can imagine, this turns into a nasty soup, and many people can't go outside without some serious breathing problems. It usually takes a couple of really good winter stoms to get rid of an inversion. Anyways, I hope to be a bit more active now, and I hope that there is not another inversion this winter.
