I always wanted my name painted on the office door.
In the midst of bringing the first public revision of flyGarmin to a close at work, a friend emailed me and asked if I could whip up an “instant web site” as his new startup company was about to get national attention. I had a week. So I worked a normal busy day every day that [...]
The traffic was just burying my server. Heh heh. No, I just realized that the podcasting plugin I was using was tagging everything on the site as though it was a podcast. But really, I didn’t even really record Intermediate Greek since it just wasn’t a lecture-style class. Most of what would have been recorded would [...]
Big news! Today was my first day at a new job! Two weeks ago I resigned my position as VP of Production and Technology at Simply Retail, where I’d been for over two years. I hadn’t been actively looking for a new job, but one day about a month ago I got an email from a [...]
Apple’s iTunes Store announced today the availability of iTunes U: free college classes from places like MIT and Stanford. Audio and video. And among the offerings are Greek classes from Concordia Seminary. I’ve downloaded a few. They seems really good. So far, it’s stuff Pete’s already taught me, but nevertheless, I’m sure I’ll be downloading and [...]
And a whole lot more. :) http://www.redeemerbaptist.org I’ve finally switched on a group of changes I’ve been thinking about and working on for a long time. We had a site up, but it was basically straight WordPress, which just didn’t work well for what we were looking for. Well, it’s still WordPress, but with a much more customized [...]

It’s just started, and I’m trying to find a source for the vocabulary words in order of frequency of occurrence, but at least you can give it a little run and see [...]
I asked a question on the wonderful Mac site Macintouch about multiple keyboards and multiple input languages. Basically, I want to be able to easily switch between typing Greek and English. There were some excellent responses, one in particular which had a link which led me to a little Googling, and man, are there some [...]
Imagine a fresh install of MySQL, (entropy.ch) PHP, and phpMyAdmin which didn’t work. MySQL is running in Terminal just fine. PHP is cranking along nicely. But phpMyAdmin steadfastly refused to run: Probably reason of this is that you did not create configuration file. You might want to use setup script to create one. [...]
The English Standard Version is a fairly new English translation of the Bible which, as I understand it, tries to be as literal to the text as possible while trying to avoid some of the sometimes wooden phrasing found in very literal translations like the New American Standard. I tend to like this side of [...]
I thought I killed it. Long ago. But as I was doing a vanity search, I found a live copy of my old site running. Hmph. Dawn of the Website. thud… thud… thud… THUD… THUD… GRRRRRRRR!
