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
PoeticIntensity
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...

Preschool Graduation

Cecilia graduated from Preschool last month, but I finally am getting around to posting the pictures of it. She absolutely loved her graduation. She felt very special.
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.

Alma 30 : Korihor

Beginning this chapter, another testament to the correlation between peace and keeping God's commandments is apparent. Giving "strict" heed to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel undoubtedly brings peace.
Now, on a totally different note, I wonder where Korihor came from? It just says that he came into the land. Was ...

Chapter 29 of Alma is such a good chapter - on so many levels, too.

A specific part of the movie caught my attention and is the cause for this entry. The part basically consists of a li...

The footnotes on that sentence seem to confirm the vague meaning I'm deriving from it as well.
