In the Past it was only a Prophecy…but in the Future, the Past has Occurred!

Well…crap. My Open Source Quandry

Posted by jamba on August 4, 2009

I thought I was all good…until I was reading this (Adventures in Open Source):

It occurred to me that as 2009 rolled around I shouldn’t be blogging about open source on a closed platform like Blogger any more, it was a bit of a contradiction. So I upped sticks and moved to WordPress on my own server.

Now I am in the same situation (here on Blogger), and have to decide if I care enough about not being on an open source blogging platform (ie WordPress).

It is indeed a bit hypocritical to be an open source enthusiast on a closed source platform. 
On the otherhand, my webserver host SUCKS (rather, it is decent, but does go down pretty frequently – x10hosting.com).
hm…
