Freedom Dreams

So, welcome to my new blog. I have a nice new layout and everything. And my own domain name, with some very nice hosting (which i have also moved adfa, with my archive of stuff to follow).

It should also be the proper start of ADFA, with our first meeting on Monday (hopefully the head of our sixthform doesn’t object, I haven’t spoke to him about it yet ). Hopefully we’ll have some people there, especially since one of my friends has been sending out e-mails to people, asking them to look at the website. I think that could probably do with a bit of a rewrite – it needs to be as understandable to new people as possible, but I’m not a good judge of that, since I know it all so well.

I would also hope for this to be a new beginning in general. I want to do more for software liberty, and other parts of the fight for freedom. I don’t feel so great about that, since I just installed Windows XP (the second time I ever have done) albeit in a VM. Pesky software – in this case Sibelius. My brother “needs” it for school, it doesn’t work in Windows proper, and at least this way the host OS is relatively free. Yes, I know there are alternatives, but as far as I know, none of them provide support for Sibelius’ file format. Although, I don’t know for sure.

Maybe that is something to look at. Maybe I should do something about those apps that I find people need, but there is no free software one that meets their needs. There seem to be a few that people use at school – omnigraph and Sibelius. I know there are similar free software programs, but they don’t quite compare. Since some stuff has already been done, this effort should be within my abilities, especially the omnigraph one.

So yeah, I should be starting some interesting stuff, and hopefully I’ll get results. I really need to look through some of my old blog posts and notes to make a full list.
