Small steps for man, giant step for freedom.

I ‘m following through with what I wanted to do almost a year ago, to quit Facebook. Watching Eben Moglin’s keynote again made me realize how much I agree with his views. Sometimes you have to make a stand and today I also quit Twitter. Making a change should start with yourself first otherwise you are just posing an image , and besides it’s very hypocritical.  Some might think I’m a jerk and in quiting facebook, and shows that I don’t care about them, this is not true. I really would love for them to visit me or write an email what they are up to. Relatives and friends I hold dear, but I won’t let convenience guide my choices and freedoms . Stay Free

I left facebook with this note:

My dear friends, I love you all very much, but the time has come where I need to make a stand for freedom and so I’m leaving Facebook. I’m decentralizing MY data to my own server.The plan is to build out my WordPress install to accommodate all my info I would otherwise share with you on here. you can keep in contact with me through my blog site www.brainspoil.net and micro blogging client identi.ca also under brainspoil. very soon I will change my email address to my own domain also. This is all a social as well as a technical challenge, but I hope this will not impede our friendships build over the years.

next I will post a video that inspired this move to a more free version of the social internet. Stay free !

come look me up.

I know, it has been months since I last wrote a blog post. Not that nothing has happened, a lot of stuff happened. An extensive holiday this summer ,of a month, in Michigan was taken to reload the batteries through some fly-fishing on the rivers in the area. I Setup a Zen Cart instance on my Linux server, custom tied flies and rod store, for my dad in-law over the period.

Java and web programming in Php is on the menu for school this semester and sure will take me some time and attention. Java will be the third week going in and already we’ve programmed some intricate applications, ahum :) . The web programming with PHP will start up soon in the coming weeks also.

I’m getting to the end of my Associates in Science degree program, and as required am looking for an internship around Jacksonville. My coordinator looked at my resume, and responded that I need to sell myself better on the resume, duh. My response so need be “I’m the greatest, if you don’t hire me another company will, and we’ll blow you guys out of the water!” LOL whatever bull crap they want to read will go on there next.
