The problem I have with this is that I don't have anything that *isn't* free. Well, except one thing, and I still have some hope of finding out if....

Oh froddit. Never gonna happen. Here. The Eight-Man Austin.

I hadn't heard of the Interthingy Technowhatsit day (I seem to have missed it last year). I looked at the articles[1] on it, quite a few of my favourite authors participated in the original one (oddly, at least four of them are on my LJ flist).

Unlike you, I don't have any fiction that I've written to distribute free or otherwise. But like you my personal creative work (software) is already available free, I can't make it any more free than it is. (My professional creative work (softwae) is not mine, because it is "work for hire" owned by the companies which employ me. Someday I hope to get jobs working with companies which do release their software using free (as in freedom) licences...)

Thanks for Austin! I can't read Word files here, but I'll read it when I get home.

[1] Originally typed as 'arrticles', I think I'm getting confused with the pirate day *g*.

Whoo! I'm up to page 47, and loving it. Lots. And only then noticing that there are a lot more pages (366 total according to OpenOffice). That, my dear sir, is a good-sized novel, and will take a lot of paper to print out (into my preferred form of reading material, on dead trees where I can take it to bed and consume it properly). Going by my normal reading speed and amount of time available that's a week or possibly more. (I just checked the word count, it's around 112 thousand words which is actually fairly standard paperback size.)

I will certainly give you more comments as I read further, but WooHoo! Nyronds! (And I love the pun in the title, even if it did take me half an hour to get it...)
