Use Open Source or Build Your Own

As I have now been working in IT for the past year as a Software Engineer (specialising in Web Application Development), and been actively building web application for the past eight years, I have begin to wonder if using an open source application and extending it is better or worse than building your own application from the ground up. I know that open source has most of the work done to begin with and I have meet people that will argue until they turn blue in the face that open source is the way to go. I’m a person that is not easily convinced and I find it better to learn how applications work by looking at them in the most basic of forms.

Building a Theme for Trac

If there is one thing that annoys me it is the lack of helpful documentation around a task for popular scripts and applications. One of those such tasks is Building a Trac Theme.

The Computer: Part 5

The Computer: Part 3

I’m now closer to having a brand new computer. I can now turn it on but cannot install the operating system yet as there is no optical drive and to see anything I have to plug it into my current 17″ 4:3 LCD monitor. I have done that and it works. Not that I expected it not to work. It detects that there is a 500GB HDD, 4GB RAM and the 1GB of dedicated memory on the graphics card. If this computer does not play RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 (RCT3) I will be very upset. All the components are brand NEW none are 2nd Hand, Refurbished or even factory seconds.

The Computer: Part 2

It has been a while but I have finally got around to getting another few pieces to the new computer. Once again this computer is not yet finished but it should be quite a beast when it is done. All the components are brand NEW none are 2nd Hand, Refurbished or even factory seconds. Continue reading to see what the computer now has and to see an updated picture.

New Computer: Part 1

This may come to a shock to the people that know me. I’m a programmer, actually I’m a interent application developer (fancy name for “a person that makes websites an stuff”), and I have never had a high-end gaming PC. I have a few high-end games on the PC but have always had to play them with the lowest level of graphics and details possible. Well those days are now numbered…
