open source FTW!
Jan. 24th, 2011 01:27 pmI'm a member on the local Freecycle mailing list. I ignore most of it; we get about 10x more "wanted" posts than "offer" posts, but someone today was asking for a copy of Microsoft Word.
I emailed him and let him know about OpenOffice and AbiWord.
I feel strangely like I have made the world a better place.

In other news, I have written a short Glee fanfic and am trying to decide where to share it. I want it up soon because I have a feeling it's going to get completely Jossed by the next episode, or one shortly thereafter.
In other other news, I am 99.9999999% sure I will be opening my own website. At this point it's just a matter of if I care enough to pay for a domain name or if I'm okay with mywebsitename.weebly.com. And I think I might actually care enough, because "weebly" sounds really dweeby to me.
Question: since it'll be my personal site, would it be weird if it was mywebsitename.me (instead of .com)? I am both kind of weirded out by the idea and strangely enchanted by it...also .me's are cheaper. XD
