I’ll be leaving tomorrow for England on a business trip for work. The job that we’re doing there seems a lot more “open” than most of my recent work (when I say “open”, read “unstructured”). I’m not really concerned about the success of the trip, but that may be because we have no requirements that […]

Barry, our benevolent dictator on the RTDISC list, had written the following on the list, “The doctrine of perseverence is not to be used as some sort of shield or excuse for wrongful associations: “Bad company corrupts good morals” was written to the church… Secondly, both the means and the ends are ordained. If we […]

I’ve been digging through the archives of the Reformed Theology Discussion List, and after reading a lot of my old posts, I posted the following to the list. ——————- In looking through the archives, I’m rather surprised at some of my views from a few years ago. I thought I should write up some caveats […]

Just opened my new bottle of Irish Stout. I’m drinking it and typing at the same time. I haven’t chilled it, but just pulled it right from the case in the basement.

Last night, I got called by the Quinnipiac University poll about the Specter – Toomey Republican Senatorial Primary in Pennsylvania. The last poll called 431 people likely Republican voters in Pennsylvania, so the chances of getting called are pretty slim, but as my mother told me last night when I gave her the news, “At […]

Thomas and I planted the sunflowers just outside the fence in the backyard. I dug the hole, and Thomas planted the seed. I covered the hole over, and Thomas grabbed the watering can, and watered the plant. He did a really good job… I’ll get pictures up on the site as soon as I get […]

As part of my ongoing quest to educate myself on the different linux distributions available, I’m going to be wiping out my Fedora build and putting Mandrake’s new v10 Official when it is released (probably next month.) At least, I think I am. I may also install the new Fedora Core 2 test 2. Grrr… […]
