FHE Tonight... My Testimony.
PoeticIntensity
We've been trying to get into the habit of having Famiily Home Evening together as a family, and tonight Sarah planned a splendid lesson that would have been enjoyed much more if I wouldn't have been ill, and dead-tired. But... such is the life of a husband/father/bread winner. :)
Anyway... After the lesson, she wanted all of us to write down ...

PoeticIntensity
Hmm.... Today was pretty good. Stake Conference was surprisingly good, although I don't remember much of what was said. The Spirit was strong, and I guess that's all that really matters, if ya don't remember anything, that is. :) Anyway...
I wonder how next week is gonna be with my new job. I'm really going to have to figure out how to set up...

End of a Good Week
PoeticIntensity
Well.... Not much to write, other than this week's goal wasn't forgotten. :) I'd say that 5 out of the 7 days I had were a success of making at least 90% of the decisions during the day based on strengthening the family.
My job is going well, although it's kind of scary because I'm the sole Linux guru of the company. They're putting a lot of fa...

Interesting First Day...
PoeticIntensity
Yup.. Today was my first day at the new job. Now, if anyone has gone through a lot of jobs with the honest intent of keeping every one he had, it's me. I've just had the luck of getting "let go" because of downsizing or whatever. Anyway... Usually, the first day on the job entails signing a bunch of paperwork and settling in. Today was anything but...

Tomorrow's The Big Day!
PoeticIntensity
First off, today was much better than yesterday as far as basing my decisions to strengthen my family. I spent the morning with Luci, and most of the afternoon and evening with Luci and Sarah.
At noon, I went in to get all the paperwork taken care of for my new job, and I must say... I'm impressed, excited and anxious all in one emotion. I'm sur...

Bad Decisions....
PoeticIntensity
Ya know... Today I really messed up. Well, not *really*, but I messed up pretty badly if we're considering the goal I set at the beginning of this week.
I decided to play Need For Speed Underground 2 (my latest addiction) for a "while" and it turned out to be for "7 hours". Yeah.. That's just not cool when all the decisions I'm making are suppos...

Lately, I've been feeling a pretty intense lack of the Spirit in my life. I've been unsuccessfully trying to pin it down to something specific and it's driving me kind of crazy.
Well, today at church, I decided to try something for one week, hopefully longer, but definitely one week. I'm seriously going to do my best to base all my decisions on ...

Yup.. the Jones' family is now over its span of multiple-month's good health and have plunged into the wonderful month of January's sickness.
We've all got some sort of weird light-flu-type bug, and it's not happy. Luci hasn't smiled all day and none of us went to church today. Ohwell... such is life. I hope I can work tomorrow.
We'll see how...

LDS Fest 2005 - Simply Sublime

be part of it again. It was such a s...

2 monitor radeon xorg.conf

Also, I've got one big desktop from the 2 monitors. Here's the config.

Linode / Gentoo / sendmail problem [solved]
PoeticIntensity
When I first installed the 64-bit version of gentoo on linode, everything looked good - except I couldn't get apache to send email. When I emerged PHP, it pulled in ssmtp by default, but that didn't seem to be sending mail at all. So, I emerged sendmail. That got me a little bit further, but the logs were giving me an error...

3 Nephi : 14
PoeticIntensity
The golden rule seems to have come out of this chapter.
The first thing that caught my attention in this chapter is the possible meaning of verses 4 and 5. the "mote in thy brother's eye" verses. Some people would interpret this as "live and let live", or "worry about yourself, not others". To...

Moroni : 8
PoeticIntensity
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...

Some of you may know that I've been working on a Christmas music project called "Herod the Fink" with someone who has been steadily becoming a great friend of mine - Jesse Crowley.
This started September of 2009, when he called me up and asked me if I wanted to work on a few Christmas songs he had been cooking up, and I accepted. We...
