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 someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.

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.
