Yeah, So it's been awhile...
PoeticIntensity
Okay... I think it's time I wrote something. The last everyone knew, I was jobless, on welfare, losing hope in humanity, depressed, bordering on despair, and a little bit sad, too.
Well... Although it's not perfect, I do have a job now. My wonderful long-time friend Scott Morris happened to mention to his boss that ...

Zend Studio on Gentoo AMD64

Since I've been job-hopping for the last bit, I've had the chance to install fresh gentoo builds on quite a few 64-bit computers in the last couple of months.
I've also been looking at different IDEs for PHP development. After using jEdit now for close to 5 years, I've gotta say the one which impresses me the most is Zend Studio for Eclips...

This is her Preschool class singing songs for us for their graduation ceremony. The little boy in the yellow shiny shirt is Owen's little brother.

Now, on a totally different note, I wonder where Korihor came from? It just says that he came into the land. Was ...

Interesting that in verses 22 and 23, Amulek states that if they got rid of the righteous, they would ultimately be destroyed. That's a sad prophecy, which unfortunately comes true. They not only got rid of the righteous, they killed them - and swift was the judgement of God upon this whole city.
That's it for this chapter....
