Anybody up to writing good directory software?
Tue, 2007-02-20 11:17 — David JonathanSince the very beginning, directories (of any kind) have had a very central role in the internet. (I have recently grown fond of Free Web Directory. Even Slashdot can be considered a directory: a collection of great news and invaluable user-generated comments. As far as software is concerned, doing a quick search on Google about software directories will return the free (as in freedom) software directories like Savannah, SourceForge, Freshmeat and so on, followed by shareware and freeware sites such as FileBuzz, PCWin Download Center and All Freeware (great if you're looking for shareware and freeware, but definitely less comprehensive than their free-as-in-freedom counterparts).
Is better education the key to finding better software?
Sat, 2007-03-03 03:25 — Edward RusselI read David Jonathon's article Anybody Up To Writing Good Directory Software? the other day, which got me thinking about software directories in general. As David mentioned, many of the software directories one finds when doing a quick google search are free as in beer, not as in freedom. But what interests me is the software directories that already exist, providing a combination of both free as in beer software, and open source software. Sites such as Freeware Downloads and Shareware Download don't advertise themselves as providing free as in liberty software, but each of them have a good selection of open source software available... if you know where to look.

The latest XKCD
The latest XKCD (ecks-cassady), is a humourous interpretation of the perils of friendships versus relationships, as the protagonist of the comic comes to grips with the absurdity of his situation; the ambiguity in which rung he stands in the ladder that is relationships.
Ultimately, the comic falls flat in both humour and irony departments, as it is yet another sad reflection upon the author's own predicaments. If anything, this comic serves to reinforce the idea that the author is an insufferable, puppy-dog love stricken vagabond.
FINAL RATING:
Romance: 2/5
Sarcasm: 4/5
Math: 0/5
Languge: 1/5
OVERALL: 3.5/10
