- Webhosting comparison chart
- from long-ago shopping for a webhost. I settled on
Westhost and have stayed a
happy customer for 5+ years. I'm happy to refer you to them (and
receive an exceedingly modest referral credit if you tell them I sent
you).
- My most-used software
- This list was inspired by Dave Winer's list of his
mission-critical software. He was interested in demonstrating that
it's not "Open Source" that's essential. I'm interested in showing you
that when it comes to software, it's often the case that the best
things in life are free and providing pointers to those best things.
This is more than 4 years old and needs updating, but
vim still tops the list!
