Subscribe to the Freelock Podcast feed!

The podcast starts with Speakeasy suffering a nationwide outage and the client-calls to Freelock pour in.

 

John and Aaron talk about the value of free (and "Free") software. John goes in depth about BackupPC and how it can help avoid a data disaster.

 

John also talks about why developers might develop software for free and why some companies might pay for "Free" (i.e. Open Source) software to be developed.

Customer Feedback

As the coordinator for the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission, I direct staff and contractors in projects for the OPTC, including the contractor selection, design and build of the new website. Freelock was chosen and did the work as expected with great results. I heartily recommend them for other work of this nature. Their customer service and personal approach sets them apart from the crowd.
