The great experiment

|
I finally put my money where my mouth was. For the last year I have talked about how amazing it is that every service a person could need online was available, and available for free. And yet, I was still paying for hosting. Today I decided to prove that I was right. I'm using mostly Google services for everything, my domains point here to the blog by default. I'm using Google pages for document hosting (I might switch to Google Docs when I figure out how to force my documents to download rather than show inline). Picasa for pictures. YouTube for video.

The only thing that I don't have the ability I used to is random footers for some forums (they were running on a PHP script I wrote, and I don't have PHP access. No biggie)

So, while a lot of you probably have no idea what I am talking about, those of you who do. Let me know if you join in the free revolution. There's no reason not too really.

I haven't decided if I am going to edit the look and feel of the site yet. Hasn't really bothered me yet, and I kind of like the simplicity. Plus I'm a programmer, not a designer, I don't need to show off.

RIP hosted falsefiction, viva la revolution.

Freakin' Awesome, I pay big bucks for Mediatemple, it's nice but sometimes I wouldn't mind not having the hassle of everything being hosted.

Free stuff is not only free, it's easy.
