I love writing about projects that I really like. When I do I try not to write about projects that people may know about and I definitely do not write about projects that come pre installed with Ubuntu. I love open office but it comes  pre installed Ubuntu.  Trac however does not come pre installed with Ubuntu. There are many solutions out there like trac, sourceforge,  google code, launchpad, all of these solutions however are aimed at open source code you publish on the internet. Trac, however lets you host your own website, either on the web or your intranet. That provides a lot of the same features that are provide by the options for open source projects.

The other big option I have seen to trac is dr project (they actualy forked from trac). and while I do like a lot of the things that trac is doing (mailing list intergration for one). Trac has a large comunity and may plugins a few of the plugins I would really like to see in the future for trac are a karma like system similar to the one on launchpad as well as better user tracking as well as a way to see who has read what similar to vbullitins who has read a thread.

Trac really is a great solution and I use for a ton of projects I work on.

Keep up the great work guys!

The other day I stumbled upon Chris Harrison’s internet map, the only problem I found with his map is that I wanted to know exactly which country each network connection was in. So using the DIMES public data repository, and 1site1moment’s country boarders I have mapped the internet for myself.

Feel free to download the source code and come up with your own internet map, I would love to see what other people can come up with.

UPDATE 01: Image is back up, If the source code link wont work for you email me and I will send you a copy. Feel free to host this anywhere you like just post a link back to this site.

UPDATE 02: Source code can now also be found here.

UPDATE 03: Would love to see what other people can do with this.
