Back to Windows
Due to some circumstances (unrelated to the legal situation that was happening), I have returned to use Microsoft Windows XP.
The legal situation is going to be cancelled. So I will continue to use Windows.

Swiftweasel
"Swiftweasel is an optimized build of the Mozilla Firefox web browser for Linux. With builds for both AMD and Intel processors. Swiftweasel is 100% compatible with all Firefox themes, plugins, and extensions."
I have been using this for a couple days, and so far it reminds me of Swiftfox, which I stopped using because of GNU issues. It is fast, stable, and so far, I like it.

Firefox vs. Swiftfox (LINUX)
Swiftfox is an optimized Firefox-based browser (Linux only). And I have been using it since my migration from Windows to Ubuntu [Linux]. Well, after perusing the Swiftfox website, I came across THIS. It is the licensing information for Swiftfox (and source code).
Now, I am not a Linux GURU or a l337 master of *NIX, but I read something that was perplexing. If the idea behind Open Source and GNU is to promote 'free' distribution of software in order to help the software develop, why does Swiftfox violate that? The Swiftfox licensing says: (I will quote it): "Binaries provided by getswiftfox.com are not licensed MPL and therefore are not freely distributable. The license to use Swiftfox extends to the user that downloads Swiftfox from this web site. No one may repackage or redistribute Swiftfox binaries in any form without prior permission.". Now, if that doesn't violate the 'free' idea, I don't know what does.
For that reason, I have left Swiftfox, and went back to Firefox. Please steer clear of Swiftfox.

New Year, New OS, New Life
Well it is the beginning of 2007. I have made a few changes... I have migrated to Ubuntu 6.10, which is a version of Linux based on the Debian OS. It is really user friendly, and it prevents me from the tempation of installing or download illegal software, because most *nix software is free under the GNU.

BlogJet
Well, after a slow search for a good method of posting on my blog, I have come across BlogJet. It is simple, and effective. Also, it is very friendly with my CSS layout, and also it keeps my formatting as designed (unlike some of the other programs that I have used). A lot of the programs that I have used seem to have a problem with the way my code is written and it wreaks havoc on my design. But this one doesn't seem to do that.Anyway, this is my first post using BlogJetand I think that I am going to like it.
**UPDATE** After a few attempts at messing with BlogJet, I have decided that I dont really like it. So I have returned to using w.Bloggar v4.00. It is a great program, and I can deal with the small glitches that it has.
