The Great Software List is updated now!
Since May I’ve been working on and off and being interrupted by multiple beta tests, house repair chores, weekend travel, legal problems (yes, yes, I owe money and the lawyers are after my ass again), even illness. But after sinking time into almost 150 apps over the past five months, the Great Software List is now updated with some kickass apps! I added a new Usenet, P2P/File Sharing Tools section, found/updated 40 fantastic new programs, and managed to ditch 65 old ones for various reasons — unaddressed security issues, lack of development, overpriced in latest version, somehow it got shitty, and so on. I’m excited and completely exhausted.
If you know me, then you know I work on manic energy. When I feel good, I feel great and can get a mountain of work or writing done. My wife says I’m manic/depressive, but I’m never “depressed”; I just lack will and energy and purpose and money. When I’m average, I’m well below the average human in daily accomplishment. Now I have to go meet with a lawyer and file a bunch of fast paperwork. Fuck me! The past year has been a struggle to keep up, but hey, who knows, if the sheriff doesn’t confiscate my computer to pay off old debts, then I’ll still be online! If he does, then you won’t hear from me for a long while, ha, as it will take me a long time to save up enough to get another computer.
One last thing. I’m considering changing the “Text-Only page” to a categorized, single-spaced list without descriptions to make the site quicker and easier to read. This monster has become as big as I can handle right now, as it takes an unfathomable amount of time to keep tabs on over 150 apps plus constantly be on the lookout for new and better ones with which to replace them! Take care, and hope you like the new section.
