Week 7 Lecture

The very enthusiastic Jason Nelson was the lecturer for week 7, and he discussed the benefits and problems of open source software. I was familiar with some of the torrent websites he mentioned, however I wasn't aware of http://www.portableapps.com/ which offers a variety of open source (and therefore completely free) software for portable devices. He also visited http://www.secrettechnology.com/ to show off some of the games and programs that he has made, most of which are quite unusual to say the least.

One of the freeware applications which I have used for some time is Audacity, an audio editing and recording program which offers a wide variety of features, while remaining very user friendly.
