New England Cell Conference
Just got back from the New England Cell Conference with author Joel Comiskey. A cell church is a body made up of many smaller groups for “evangelism, community, and discipleship with the goal of multiplication” of the cell or group. The conference was very fast paced and most of us left with our head spinning…

Blog Spammed! Where is the mustard?
I just got blog spammed! I had to laugh, ’cause I’m pretty sure I make up about 50% of the readership of this blog, so posting ads here is a little like fishing in the desert… The downside is I’ll need to turn on moderation and such, so the hordes (sic) of legitimate commentors will…

Happy Halloween!
Just sitting here on my front steps, handing out candy to the hordes of ghouls, ghosts, witches, faeries, and princesses. I’ve noted two small, but significant differences this year: One is the number of firefighter costumes, it’s good that the firefighters and police officers have regained some of the respect in the hearts and minds…

If a blog falls in the woods and nobody backlinks it, does it make a sound?
I’ve always said (to myself, anyway) that it didn’t matter if anyone read my blog or even visited my site. So, why was I so happy when a couple of folks posted comments to some old entries?! Of course, they were people who know me personally, so knew where to find my site, but hey,…

Offending Geocodes
Through an odd chain of events, I offered to create a map of home addresses of registered sex offenders in the Augusta area. Here is a 1st look: Since I didn’t want to spend hours on end looking at, or reading about these animals, I went searching for method to take the addresses parsed from…

onTheCase
After getting into a discussion about coding styles and conventions, I figured I better get some clearer definitions for mixed case names in code: studly caps – an arbitrary capitalization of letters. sTudLyCapS camel case – run together words with the first letter of each of the word capitalized. CamelCase lower camel case – like…

MovableType no longer “free enough”
I’m in the process of moving my blog to WordPress from MovableType. While I wish the authors of MT the best of luck with their new pricing model, I have to agree with Mark Pilgrim and his reasons for switching to WordPress. I still need to tweek the fonts and such to match my site…

Dodging the bullet
While our sysadmins run around trying to save the exchange server from yet another NetSky variant, I can’t help but gloat (just a little ;-) as I connect to out qmail server (we use both) with evolution and wonder what a virus looks like. While I know “pride goeth before the fall” and all that,…

A year of Groking the Law
Pamela Jones is celebrating the one-year anniversary of Groklaw with an pretty good overview of the SCO vs. the World lawsuit(s) and Groklaw’s unwaivering support of the truth through all of the silliness coming out of Lindon, Utah. I’d like to acknowledge this momentous occasion by standing up and saying, “Hi, my name is Chris,…
