Join the Open Source Revolution
Topic: Computers
Viva la open source!
I have been very happy with the latest open source browser, Firefox... in fact I use it almost exclusively at home now. If IE weren't so entangled with WinXP I would give it the boot. I wouldn't mind dumping Micro$oft altogether if only I didn't enjoy a good video game now and again. Now, before you anti-M$ elitests begin dumping on me, do know that I have a Linux OS (Mandrake) on one of my two boxes. I just need to spend more time with it.
I had a pleasant suprise at work today when the SysAdmin asked me what I thought about Firefox. I said, "Yes, Yes, Yes! Let's use it!" or something like that. So now we're "testing" it out on a few employee computers and soon (so long as it works with all the databases we subscribe to) the TOTAL CONVERSION of all the comps in the library to Firefox. Awesome! After that, we will take over the rest of the university and finally, THE WORLD! Muwahaha.
The open source revolution doesn't end there. This past month I have been researching Content Management Systems and have settled on a couple to test... although I am strongly leaning towards one in particular (to remain annonymous for now). Open source, of course.
I like my job. ;-)
Last week I was tearing apart an old computer to, as I like to say, "cannibalize" parts for my other boxes and I was reminded of a very old MegaTokyo comic "N3kkid skillz". hehe. While we're on the subject, here's another really old I like very much, "no b3r3 h3r3". Ok, so that one doesn't make much sense out of context, I really just love the frame when Largo says, "Ph33r my lack of b33r!" Sorry, done being silly now. Go read some news or something.
