Mentioned In Despatches

Just as a quick thought before I hit the sack, I thought I’d tell you about the  the honourable mention a handy site got on the BBC show, “Click”, this morning.


Now I’ve known about the site for years; one of the pubs I worked at had a lot of IT guys, as regular customers; they all used open source software, to some degree, so SourceForge always got mentioned.

So I heard of it a few years before many other laymen.

And I’ve got to admit, even though I haven’t made much use of it, it is a handy way to find freebie software.

So I’m with “Click” reporter, Kate Russell, here.

Go give it a look.

You’ll find something handy, there.

Post a Comment

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
