Flat File Society Homepage

August 12,, 2002

Dear Diary,

Wow! It has been seven years since my frustrations led to adopting as my email address "flatfilsoc" to champion the cause for simple flat file ASCII text files in response to:

--the pieces of "trash" attached to Microsoft Windows Exchange Version 1 stylized email with their formatting instructions

--Microsoft leading the software developers packt with bloated, proprietary coded data files when a simple, flat ASCII files would have done just as nice (i.e. HTML)

--and just my general reaction towards proprietary software and away from an open, computing community.

However, all of us in computing know, you rant-n-rave for a few minutes and then adapt. So over time my original "Flat FIle Society" Homepage (circa 1996 on a defunct free web site ) has changed from advocacy for open computing standards and text data files where reasonable to just an organizer page of my own personal web pages and post-graduate projects..
