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 <a href="http://pages.google.com/">Google pages</a> for document hosting (I might switch to <a href="http://docs.google.com/">Google Docs</a> when I figure out how to force my documents to download rather than show inline). <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/">Picasa</a> for pictures. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">YouTube</a> for video.<br /><br />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)<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Pww34AY-LWc/R2cO91Mq1vI/AAAAAAAABK8/r1y7GfyWUqM/s1600-h/header2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Pww34AY-LWc/R2cO91Mq1vI/AAAAAAAABK8/r1y7GfyWUqM/s200/header2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145097554709108466" border="0" /></a>RIP hosted falsefiction, viva la revolution.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17085854505668713495noreply@blogger.com1
