Technology, Theology, and Anything In Between

I was having a problem after transitioning from a Windows server for websites, to a Linux server. Some of the links to files on the site were broken, because they had a backslash in the url, instead of a forward slash. I struggled with this issue for some time, and wanted to present how I [...]

Just wanted to inform those who read my blog about a good deal I found on the web. If you are looking for a dedicated server, take a look at serveraday.com.  They are offering deals each day on dedicated server rentals.  As you might have guessed, I took them up on one of their offers. [...]

My biggest complaint about AT&T; U-Verse is the DNS servers. Of late, they seem to be operating slowly, or at least the RG (Residential Gateway) is not processing requests very quickly. I’m unhappy that I can’t put my own DNS server choices into the RG. It would be nice, for example, to have OpenDNS servers [...]

It seems as though the libertarians have had some trouble getting Bob Barr on the ballot in CT. Unless this situation gets resolved, I’m going to have to rethink who I’m voting for. At this point, I will probably vote for Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party, who is going to be allowed as a [...]

While the book deals with a neo-Calvinstic viewpoint of how Christians should relate to the public sphere of ideas and political thought, it was also helpful in seeing how others in the past have agreed with some [...]

Normally on this blog, I talk about theology, science, and technology, specifically within the software engineering domain.  There is much talk nowadays as to how people are going to vote, and which way our country is headed.  My personal view, which I’ve held for about 4 years now, is that we won’t see real change [...]

I received a phone call from AT&T; yesterday, notifying me that my equipment had been updated to use the DVR throughout the house.  I really like the innovation of this.  Rather than having separate DVRs, one DVR that communicates over the network.  I can now have all my recordings accessible on any TV.   So [...]

Being a technology consultant, I have a subscription to Microsoft’s Action Pack.  It lets me keep up with what they are doing, and I get software much less expensively this way.  The Windows Server 2008 DVDs have been in my possession for several months now, but I hadn’t decided to do the upgrade from Windows [...]
