Software

Software wants to be free, but sometimes you have to pay for it.

I like free software. I like commercial software. I’m practical in my beliefs and don’t necessarily believe that all software has to be “free as in beer”. There are some strong cases for commercial software. I would never dream of giving up Photoshop for the Gimp or Logic for Audacity, for example. That’s not to say that these aren’t great projects or great software, the free versions just don’t have the same features and ease of use and polish of their commercial counterparts. It’s possible that this might reverse at some point in the future. In the meantime, I’ll continue buying upgrades.

About

I am Boolean (aka Rob Campbell). I recently moved back to Moncton, NB, Canada and work for an open source software company as a hacker. In my spare time, I play Xbox, read, watch video and when inspired, dabble with music or shoot pictures. Lately, I’ve been trying to lower my golf handicap.

The name “boolean” is my gaming nick, picked under pressure during the heady days of the original Unreal Tournament. Attempts to explain this call-sign, frequently mispronounced when read as “BOO-LEEN”, often results in hilarious confusion and calls of, “nerd!”
