If you want free, do it yourself…

The free ride is over… wtf am I talking about?

We all know the free internet is coming to an end, it’s been happening for 2 years now… tell us something we don’t know.

I’m sick of paying for web hosting, broadband internet and dial up just so I can feel connected to the world. Throw in dotMac cause I’m loyal to my kind, a few domains because I think they’re cute and I’m paying over $2000 a year for the right to use the internet. OMG… I’m f’n crazy!

So, today, it’s going to stop. I’ve installed a new web server on my favorite platform, free from M$ only junk like ASP, for $0 a month, down from $57.95. I’ll be moving to a different provider for broadband which will not only increase my upstream bandwidth but also throw in unlimited dial up access when I’m traveling. Now, the cost is more than what I pay today, however, I’ll be able to dump my existing dial up account at $19.95 and still save $5 a month, bonus!

This Movable Type stuff is rather handy… hmm something that still is free on the internet, damn, that’s awesome!
