+*[Hello, Mirror, so glad to see you my friend][1]
+It's been a while*</p>
+
+I am a firm believer in the ideas of Open Source and Free Software, and in the
+fact that they can drive the world forward. Closed source software obeys the
+Rules of Market: it is born (as a Product), grows, matures, gets old and then,
+finally, it dies, and it is then that it becomes lost for all eternity. Open
+source software, on the other hand, is in a sense organic: it is born (as an
+unpolished piece), grows, matures, gets old, but is never lost, as the almighty
+Source will always be there for someone to compile it, or at least reverse
+engineer it and then make use of it in some other way.
+
+Thus I believe that Github is one entity that can help drive the world forward,
+which is why [I am publishing][2] not only The Tar Pit's content, but also its
+plumbing, on Github. Have fun with it!
