Rockin' Out in 2012!
AudioGuru
So, I've been thinking about what the first post in 2012 should be, and I've been drawing a blank. I could talk about all the cool gear I've upgraded, and the success we had in 2011, but I've talked a lot about that stuff already (although the new RME Madi interface, ADI-8 QS converters, and Focusrite 828 preamps are pretty stink...

So I haven't written in a while, and that's both a great thing, and a not-so-great thing. It's great because since September, the studio has been busier than I thought possible. Honestly... It's been a whirlwind, and I'm not quite sure what caused it - but I'm so grateful for it. It's a not-so-great thing because I can't kee...

I've gotta say, October was crazy. It was the busiest month the studio has ever seen. That said, it has allowed us to upgrade some microphones!
Might you join with me in welcoming our two newest microphones to the pack:

In our initial tests, I found the Gomez to be anothe...

Moroni : 10
PoeticIntensity
...and so we've come to the last chapter, and the closing of the book I opened almost 4 years ago. The goal was to read and write about each and every chapter in the Book of Mormon, no matter how long it took me. Tonight, I'm gonna complete that goal. Wow. That just feels good.
Let's charge on to Moroni 10, shall w...

What a horrible, yet extremely personal and hopeful chapter. The nature of it reminds me of the psalm of Nephi (2 nephi 4:15-end). What horrible, horrible things were going on at the end, but it just amazes me, the strength of Mormon, and his constant prayers for Moroni - and his pleading to God for his soul to be brought b...

So... I just checked, and throughout all canonized scripture, know how many times the phrase "solemn mockery" is used? Yup - you guessed it. Once. And it happens to refer to the baptizing of children. For some reason, I think God dislikes this act a bit.
Verse 14 seems kind of harsh, but if a person has nei...

Today is a good day! So... Beginning in verse 12, the main theme I'm getting here is the complete polarization between God and Satan. Within the rules God has set (such as, "Satan can't kill people", and "Man has free agency", and "God won't save someone just because they're His offspring", and such.....

Postgres Authentication in Proftpd

This was to negate the possibility of any hacking of the web server, should the FTP server be compromised. It's...

A temple trip to remember

Because the last temple trip my ward went on the youth did not behave themselves like they should've and they go...

Hi there! I'm PoeticIntensity

I started journaling when I was 14, in 1990, as a new years resolution. I had no idea then just how much I would get into journaling.
