For anyone that reads this blog, due to time constraints I've had to come up with a new format. After today, I'll be posting twice a week to this blog site; Mondays & Fridays. Mondays will mostly be about what I've done on the weekend (FOSS/Linux related) and Fridays will mostly be about what I've read in the (FOSS)news during the week. Oh, and I've gone back to using FOSS for OSS. Although I hate the word 'Free' in the context of software, FOSS remains a popular acronym. I'm not going to use FLOSS because 'Libre' is only important to the french (no offense).

In the news, Massachusetts(sp) has decided to specify that any new software for the state government must support OpenDocument formats. Pity, as no MS product does this and OpenOffice does. Mass. isn't shooting down MS though, all they have to do is support OpenDocument, which they refuse to do (probably a matter of pride). OOo is trying to jump on this and turn it into a 'snowball effect' among the states, but being moralistic and bright, they are only endorsing OpenDocument format and not just pushing thier software. It's been suggested that it time MSOffice may go the way of Wordperfect and Lotus123. I guess all we can do is wait and see... While waiting why not learn how to use OpenOffice or other FOSS office software. That's all for now and the next blog is Friday.
