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.

Installed Trac on DreamHost
I Finally got around to setting up a Trac install on my DreamHost account. It was painfully easy once I found a nice script that has be done to do just this. You can find that here.
Suppose now that it is there I may as well use it. So I’ll use it for the development of this website and other stuff I’ll eventually have attached to it.
See it at http://trac.m4cc4s.com/

Another Way To Find Me
This is just a quick post to notify people that now you can also find me using the domain iamderek.com. I got this yesterday after seeing that someone was using that for their personal portfolio website, reading that the best way to get found on the internet is to have a domain that is your name and since derekmcdonald.com is taken. No need to update bookmarks as I will not be giving up m4cc4s.com anytime soon I’ve become quite attached to it.
At the moment iamderek.com just points to the About Me page so there really is nothing new. But hey, If I have the money for the domain and I want it, I’ll get it.

Planning A Trip to NZ
I have decided that in 2009 I’m going to get on a plane and travel over the ocean to another island called New Zealand. As I plan it and get an idea of what I’m going to do while I’m there I’ll keep updating my blog with that status.

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.

Cirque Du Soleil – Dralion (Tickets)
It has been a while since I made a post, but I did say that I would post a picture of the Cirque Du Soleil tickets when I got them. I did get them a week after I paid for them, shipped all the way from Canada to Australia, not bad. Read the full post to see the tickets.

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…
