CerosMedia 2.0

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

I haven’t been writing my blog this week not because I’ve fallen into a crevasse, but because I’ve been writing code. This was no pineapple birth. OK, so there was some raised voices at the end, but c’est normale huh? This puppy went live the day it was supposed to. And how.

This is the best website I’ve ever made. It wasn’t designed by me, or even conceived by me, but I made it. I based the functionality on an up to date drupal 6.2 installation. Messed with it as little as possible. Changed look and feel and added new flash/drupal integration technology that has hitherto only been thought of. Never done. Which is where my fee comes in. I can’t say how much it costs to build a website like the one below, but it’s non-trivial to me.

Have a look at the website now - and tell us…. by contacting cerosmedia.com or listingslab. Were you entertained?

Rediscovering The Onion

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

I was trying to find some exmaples of drupal being used on massive, high traffic websites this morning and rediscovered The Onion, a very funny parody newspaper from the US. I used to read it several years ago, but in the time before RSS feeds and I soon forgot about it. Here’s an article that really made me laugh: “Apple Unveils New Product-Unveiling Product“.

Why is open-source?

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

Open SourceI had this conversation with Sarah a few months ago when we out walking in the hills. Her question was not exactly ‘what is open-source software?’, but ‘why does it exist at all?’

Why do people contribute apparently altruistically to create it? How does a situation exist whereby large, complex pieces of very intelligent, well designed software can come into being without anyone seeming to profit from it? Perhaps it’s just because a requirement for it exists? Is it surprising to think that this requirement is as strong a force as the desire to profit?

After reading this definition, an open-source idea could be defined as one which is: Freely distributed, transparently constructed, flexible, modular and free to modify and change at will. It should retain the original integrity of the idea as it grows and develops without being constrained by it.

Getting confused? Me too. So I’ll try to taxonomise it. I’m going to think of a some real-world concepts which are unrelated to computer software and see if I can categorise them as Open-Source or not.

Open-Source
Darwinism
Religion
Farming/Husbandry
Exploration
Sports

Not Open-Source
Adventure
Fossil Fuels
Credit Cards
Democracy
The Health Industry

God. I hope it stops f$%^ing raining soon.
