a different perspective from alan hartung on the emerging church, politics, faith, and life
So far, I’m extremely impressed with Mozilla’s latest release of the Firefox browser, version 2. Something we Mac users have been screaming for has finally come to the new Firefox… you can now close each tab with an “x” on the tab instead of it being all the way to the right of the browser. [...]
Finally, the server’s back to its regular snappy self. I honestly feel very violated through this whole experience. Someone inflicted damage on me (the hacking of the server), and it affected numerous others. This wasn’t an accident, it was a malicious attack. My life has been almost entirely consumed with this incident for over two [...]
Frustration hasn’t completely overtaken me, but I’m getting close! 95% of the websites affected by the server hack were repaired within 24 hours. The remaining 5% having mostly minor issues are driving me insane. I really haven’t had time for much of anything else. Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. Okay… Please continue to pray for me, especially [...]
And that’s saying a lot. By the time you read this, much of my stress will be relieved. But right now, I’m at the end of the worst birthday ever. Evidently, because I host many websites with Christian affiliation, my server was targeted for an attack, and the attack was successful. cPanel is an amazing [...]
I’m briefly back in California. I had to pick up a check and meet with a couple of clients. I have one more week in Mexico before I’m officially back, though… A lot of you know I’ve had an extremely rough year. Some would say an extremely rough decade At any rate, I feel like [...]
Give thanks and praise: native OpenOffice arriving next month: “ Filed under: Software, Productivity No, you aren’t hallucinating: Macworld UK is reporting that a truly native version of OpenOffice (not the java-powered NeoOffice port) will be shipping next month. OpenOffice’s journey to running on Mac OS X in a native format has been a rollercoaster [...]
I’ve started a blog to help people who are traveling, vacationing, or interested in purchasing property in Mexico, and specifically San Felipe. San Felipe has been booming over the past several years, and there’s a lot of interest in this fishing village turned American hotspot. I do have an agenda with this blog, as I [...]
I’m in San Felipe, and I had my first really frustrating experience with Google. For some reason, if I’m on the internet via satellite, I can use google.com. But using the internet here by the pool, I’m forced to use google.com.mx… Not really a big deal, except all of the extra information was in Spanish… [...]
Web Browser Market Share Gecko-based browsers are now at 37% market share… (Firefox is Gecko-based and would be the most common) Designers who only check in Internet Explorer should be wary. Believe it or not, there are still quite a few out there! I don’t know if it’s true, but I’ve heard IE won’t be [...]
To be “on avail” means you have to keep the date open while the director sides who they are casting. This will be my fourth commercial avail… I think I’m due for a booking! What do you think? Unfortunately, it’s a non-union spot that doesn’t pay very much (although it’s decent for a spec, but [...]
