Here’s the press release we sent out:
The 2007.01 release of Software for Starving Students is now available for download.
Software for Starving Students is a free collection of programs organized for students (but available to anyone). We’ve gathered a list of best-in-class programs onto one CD (one disc for OS X, one for Windows), including a [...]
I just noticed that the PageRank (via the Google toolbar) for Software for Starving Students project sank clear back to 0 after a brief stint at 5. The crummy thing is, I can’t figure out why. Although the site has very infrequent updates, it is constantly getting new inbound links. Our traffic has decreased during [...]
The PageRank for Software for Starving Students (via Google’s toolbar) went clear from 0 to 5 with the latest data update. That’s pretty indicative of the almost immediate success the project has enjoyed. The site has only been up since the very end of December but has had some really incredible growth.

We’ll [...]
A few days ago, Dave posted about Software for Starving Students on Digg, and the downloads started coming immediately. With well over 20,000 downloads the last time I checked (a couple of days ago), the project has become a major success. We’ve transferred over 11 terabytes of data and our seeders have held up fine, [...]
Well, after a lot of hard work from the Software for Starving Students dev team, the latest version of SSS is available just in time for the oncoming semester. Dave Turnbull made some major GUI enhancements that will make it way easier to navigate, and there were lots of new programs, updates, and screenshots added.
The [...]
I guess I have time to blog, now that I’m done with school. I just graduated magna cum laude with a BA in Business Managment from UVSC. It’s been long and sucky, but now it’s over. :) Actually, I rather enjoyed the experience and will look back with fondness. Hopefully I’ll be able to [...]
