ZDNet Discontinues AppWatch

Adam J. Richter writes: "Citing "today's economic climate", ZDNet has discontinued AppWatch.com, a software release tracking site similar to freshmeat.net, but covering only free software (usually GPL compatible) and having an automated update detector, making it very current with low noise. AppWatch was originally an independent site created by developer John D. Rowell. Before anyone flames ZDNet, consider that it may be that even a 100% share of ad revenues would not have been sufficient to retain John and his staff in comparison to other opportunities. John and an assistant were originally working on AppWatch for free, and ZDNet did a good thing by arranging so that they could get paid for it, probably saving the site at the time. Both parties were doing something positive, and the fact that they had to stop does not mean that they have done something negative. I, for one, hope to see AppWatch.com continued in one form or another."

    When I was about 25 years old, I was invited to spend a couple
    of weeks at the farm of a friend of the family. Work was becoming a
    drag at that time, and it looked like a good way to get away from
    the grind for a while. I had been living in an apartment attached to
    my parents place at that time, and had no opportunities to get involved
    in my favorite pasttime except with the occasional neighborhood dog.
    The trip looked like a good opportunity to try out some farm species.

    I arrived at the Nebraska farm at the end of June. I had never met
    the people before, but my folks had known them for many years. They had
    two kids: Clare was 19, and a little homely looking, and John was 20.
    He was handsome and trim. Both were in college in Nebraska and staying
    at home during the semester break. They eyed me with some suspicion
    when I pulled up in the drive, got out and introduced myself to the family.
    They took me on a tour of the place, which was over two hundred acres,
    and I soon found out what a gold mine this place was to be for an animal
    loving person such as myself. They had a male and several females of many
    animals: goats, sheep, horses... the works. I had to curb my enthusiasm
    and wait for the golden opportunity.

    For the first week, I helped out on the farm with the normal
    chores. The two kids kept an eye on me for a while, but soon accepted me
    as a fixture around the place, and we became good friends. I was going to
    bed horny every night,and I found that jerking off was not doing the job...
    I needed an animal!

    After the first week, I had the complete run of the place and was
    trusted by the family. Then during that week, while I was working in the
    barn, the father appeared and told me he was taking the family into
    Hastings for the day, and for me to hold down the fort. They would not
    be back before dark. I told them they could rely on me, and inwardly
    thought, now is the time. My two weeks was getting close to being over,
    and I was going to have to return home soon. A little later I heard
    their car drive away from the farm. I went out and checked around and
    sure enough I was alone.

    I couldn't decide what animal to try first. I finally settled on
    the goats. I had never tried one before, but they looked very sexy and
    every day I would see the nannies with their tails straight up walking
    around. I went out to the goat area and selected two nice does. One was
    a solid gray, and the other a white one with big dark spots. They were
    in excellent condition and very clean and most important of all, they
    were in heat. I could tell from the swollen, dripping cunts. I took
    them in the barn. I found some milking stands in the barn, and I put
    the spotted one on stand so she would be high enough for me to reach
    and tied the other one next to her. Then I went back for the billy.

    The billy goat was a beautiful solid black Nubian. He was about five
    years old and had done a lot of breeding. He was well muscled and had a
    pair of large nuts. A really handsome beast! I led him to the door of the
    barn and he came to attention when he saw the two nannies. I stood there
    for a moment and let him call to the nannies, who answered him with quiet
    bleats. Once he settled down a little, I went to my knees and started
    petting him, then running my hand down his back legs to his balls. As
    soon as I touched them, my own cock started to stir.

    Since I was alone, I took off my pants and shorts, leaving only my T-shirt
    on, then went back to play with those hot nuts. I reached under him with
    my other hand and started stroking his sheath. It didn't take him long
    to erect, probably because of the nearby nannies. I wanted to suck him
    off, but decided to save that for later. For today, I had planned for
    the two of us to fuck the nannies side by side. I led him up to the gray
    goat and let him sniff her. She immediately squatted and sent a stream of
    hot piss right on his nose. I had an enormous boner by then, so we just
    let nature take her course.

    The billy mounted up and I helped him get in her. I watched closely,
    fascinated by the sight of the billy's cock pistoning in and out of the
    doe's swollen cunt. After a minute, I stood up and sunk my cock into the
    spotted goat on the stand. Because of the stand, I was directly in line
    with her cunt. I put my arm over the billy's back and we started fucking
    in unison. The billy beat me to an orgasm, and just as he came he lost
    his footing and his cock came out squirting. He pumped three or four
    squirts all over the goat's genitals, then dismounted and walked away.
    I looked down and studied the gray goat's pussy. It was soaking wet with
    her juices and piss, and the goat's thick bestial sperm was all over her
    asshole and pussy, with some dripping from inside. That was more than I
    could take.

    I pulled out of the spotted goat and sat on the barn floor behind
    the gray goat, and glued my mouth to her slimy cunt. I tounged vigorously
    for a couple of minutes, savoring the taste of the billy's sperm and the
    other juices. I then realized that I needed to come myself. I had to
    squat to reach her, but I was not to be denied sloppy seconds from a
    billy goat! I was so excited by this new experience that it didn't
    take me long to come. I grabbed her hips and screamed as my cock pumped
    my load deep inside her. After that I was exhausted, and totally drained.
    The only thing I could do was slip off her and settle to the barn floor
    behind her. That's when I heard a sound at the door.

    I looked over and saw the family's two kids standing in the
    doorway. John had his cock out of his pants and was slowly playing with it.
    I was shocked and couldn't do anything but stare at them.

    Clare was first to say something. "That was beautiful," she said.
    "I just knew you were a seasoned animal lover when I met you."

    "How long have you been there?" I asked, thinking that a long kept
    secret had just been discovered.

    "Since you started," John said.

    "I thought you went into town."

    "We decided to stay here at the last minute."

    "Are you going to tell what you saw?"

    "Shit, no!" John responded, "We were hoping you we into animals, so
    we could all have some fun together this summer." They were both shucking
    their clothes. "I really enjoyed watching you eat out that goat. Have you ever
    eaten out a mare in heat? They're really great!"

    "Enough talk," Clare said, "Let's have some fun." She grasped John's
    cock and stroked it a couple of times. "You're leaking,"she observed,
    "You better get plugged into one of those beasts before you shoot all
    over the floor. And you," she looked at me, "if you are going to have
    sex with animals, you should be naked like they are. Take off the T-shirt.
    I'll go see if the billy has any strength left."

    I was still shocked and just sat where I was and watched. Clare went
    to where the billy was standing. He had found some hay and was quietly
    munching. Clare sat on the floor behind him and started playing with his
    balls. Her other hand was stroking her pussy. John stepped up to the
    spotted goat, and with one stroke sunk his cock in to the balls. He
    grunted his approval of her. "Damn, she's nice," he said to no one in
    particular. Then he pulled his cock back slowly and just teased her
    cunt with the head before sinking it back in and then repeating the
    process. The goat was standing with legs spread and not moving an inch,
    loving every stroke. I was only inches away and could tell that John
    was obviously showing off for me. I was starting to get hard again
    watching this. John then reached down, stuck two fingers in the gray
    goat's cunt, and scooped out some of the mixture. Then while staring
    me right in the eye, he slowly licked his fingers clean.

    "You better get your tongue up her cunt before all that wonderful
    juice goes to waste," he said. "You should always clean up your animal
    after a fuck." I was feeling more comfortable now and I no longer feared
    exposure, but I had never had animal sex in front of anyone before, so I
    was still reluctant, even though I had a full fledged boner. "Come on,
    buddy, eat her out," John teased, "I'll hold her tail for you."

    I looked over to see what Clare was doing. She was still stroking
    the billy's balls, but now had put her head under his tail and was noisily
    licking his asshole. I looked back at John and he smiled and shrugged.
    "What can I say, she's my sister." I decided then, what the hell.
    They had already seen me doing everything with the animals. Being
    watched on purpose was another new experience, one that I did not want
    to miss.

    I smiled back, took off my T-shirt, and moved to the waiting goat.
