Instead of Reinventing the Wheel

Being a computer programmer at heart, sometimes I find myself coming up with an idea for a new type of software.  This can be a good opportunity to make a quick buck, or just test my skills at creating a new piece of software.

But I make sure to see if someone has already created a software package that addresses the problem.  I don’t feel like there is any point in reinventing the wheel and I am happy to support other programmers if I find something I like.

In fact, I did buy software today.  You see, I was trying to convert a CSV to HTML and instead of whipping up my own application (which would have taken too much time), I just bought it instead.

I also found some wedding planner software that I am sure my future sister-in-law would love.  All in all, it was a good day to find useful software.
