Farewell FileFront
by James on Mar.25, 2009, under News
UPDATE: FileFront was bought from Ziff Davis Media by the original owners and has announced that it will continue operating! See the full story here.
Despite the big closings like Circuit City and the demise of financial institutions due to the economic recession, I haven’t seen too many web sites go down. Thus, I was a bit surprised to read the news that FileFront, the popular gaming-related file host will be closing its doors on March 30th.
I’ve used them for many (mostly video) downloads in the past. Anytime something familiar announces a departure, it really hits you that maybe the current situation is not just in your mind after all. I wonder what other staple web sites will fall in the near future.
Code Society Relaunch!
by James on Mar.25, 2009, under Administrative
Welcome to Code Society, the heart and soul of technology. You’ll find musings about everything from the hardest of software to the softest of hardware and back again. If you find something useful or want to ask a question, feel free to leave a comment. Where heart and soul are concerned, just about anything goes.
To start off, Code Society has inherited the (more useful) posts that were previously available on Optimal Mac (now defunct). Also, I’ve included some very old reviews from 2005. Stay tuned for more!
