Jason Nelson once again was entertaining enough not to put me to sleep. It was quite nice to stay awake for an entire lecture for... oh, this would have to be the 2nd time this year. Pretty amazing, right? He's a funny, funny man... and I still haven't figured out who he reminds me of.
Anyway, today's lecture was about open source software. Open-source software is apparently "transparent" which I think means you can have a look at the source yourself, and if you see any errors or whatever you can fix them up yourself. However, if you're like me and lazy as well as completely computer illiterate, its not so good cos open-source stuff doesn't get updated all too often.
But yeah, you know the stuff I'm talking about here, yeah? Visit download.com and you'll get the picture. Speaking of pictures, there's an open-source rip-off of Photoshop out there (surprising I know) called... Gimp. And an animation program or something called Blender, that apparently is pretty good considering it's free and all. There's also Open Office, which gives Microsoft Word a bit of a run for it's money and which I'm also downloading as we speak - 3%... C'mon, HURRY UP! Jeez - since Microsoft and Dell were too stingy to include Micro Office on my computer and I would've had to fork over like $150 or some shit for it... Money better spent on food and booze. The 2 best friends of... well, me. But, uhmmm, yeahhhh, Open Source = Good (if you're not a lazy tool like me!)
