Do you use OpenSource software

February 15th, 2008

May I make an assumption, hell it is my site after all :)

Surely you must be using some kind of open source software right? How otherwise will you stumble upon my blog. Or perhaps your one of the lucky folks searching for an African Safari, getting to my site. Doesn’t really matter to me, I am pretty sure you make use of a computer. So the question is still relevant.

Do you like/use Firefox, GAIM, Pidgin, Open Office or any other kind of open software on your personal or work computer?

Leave me a comment, I’d love to hear what everyone uses.

Just a note, if your comment isn’t displayed immediately, don’t be alarmed, Akismet will be keeping it until I have approved it. Just keeping spam away

One reason I use Linux & Firefox

February 15th, 2008

Having just moved over to a windows XP box to check out a site in IE. I was reminded why I moved to linux and firefox combination.

Running about 4 windows of IE6, they just suddenly vanish into thin air. No error, no pop-up “send to Microsoft”, nothing just gone.

Note that I don’t claim that firefox doesn’t crash, or my linux installation don’t go a might crazy now and then. But at least when firefox crashes, it helps me to “recover session”, no need to go in the history to find the last accessed URL’s. Just makes life a little easier, that is why we use computers in the first place isn’t it.

What a lovely way to end the working week, with a rant ;)
