Below are the formats you will encounter on this website, with instructions for opening them.

PDF

Chances are, you already have a PDF reader installed on your device, whether as a standalone application, or built into your web browser.
If you try to open a PDF and you see a notice that your device doesn't know how to open it, you may need to install a PDF reader.

The simplest free PDF reader we recommend is Foxit PDF Reader.
There are lots of other options, some of which, you could find here. Or just search Free PDF reader.

ODT

For ODT files, which are fully editable, you will one of these word processors:
OpenOffice
LibreOffice

We use the ODT format because it's the native format of the above software.
The software, itself, is compatible with all other formats and is free of spyware and bloat, unlike the Microsoft and Apple versions, which are also deliberately less compatible with open file formats.

These word processors are available for most operating systems, they're trustworthy, and they're free.

"Educational, Inspirational And Very Funny"

I've had the privilege of following Burtman.net, over the years, with all the exciting things it's been adding. I enjoy the stories while sipping endless cups of tea, as I've learned from Burtman. I love diving into his ridiculous scenarios and getting infected by his road trip religion. Everything's accessible and relatable (even technical stuff) and shows how making mistakes leads to learning. I'm inspired by that. I'm always left with a big smile on my face and I always want to return. - Natku
