Living the Free software lifestyle

First of all thanks to Wonderboy for giving me the idea and inspiration.

In my never ending quest to rid myself of proprietary software and its associated corporate control, I am making some changes. Some of these I had already done, but had not really put into effect like setting up an Identi.ca account. I also added an account at Jabber so that I can use it with Pidgin my free and multi-platform IM client.

I am also getting rid of the Twitter bar in my browser and replacing it with the Identi.ca bar so I can post updates from Firefox.

I am also thinking of switching to Ekiga rather than Skype. Both are free as in price, but only one of them is free as in freedom. You guess which one. There will be other changes to come as well. Watch this space for updates.
