How to use Freecycle™
14, Dec 2009Freecycle™ currently has over 6,827,000 members across the globe. A non-profit movement / organization of people giving and getting items. People passionate about finding homes for items rather than seeing them end up in the landfill.
Using Freecycle is truly simple. The entire mechanism relies on simple email. When you have something to offer, you send an email to the group. See something you want? Just send an email to that person.
Updating Netbeans installations
9, Dec 2009We love Netbeans but like many Open Source projects, they release new versions on a regular basis. The community is also very active in fixing bugs. You can report bugs and download a nightly build as soon as the problem is fixed. Each download always installed into its own directory. In the beginning this bothered us because we would end up with many versions of the application installed on our system. In the end, this is in fact a very good thing.
This is the first in a series of letters to mom and dad. Many of us have or are parents who are mostly computer literate, but sometimes wish we knew more. This series will explore technology that may be unfamiliar to us.
