Well... I haven't written in awhile, and quite a bit is coming to a head soon, so I thought I'd just site down and write whatever comes out. It may be a novel, it may end right now.
Lately I've been focusing a lot of my time on music. Our band Mimic, is in the process of getting gigs around Utah, so I've built a website for us,...

DSpam and Postfix
PoeticIntensity
For the last few days, I've been fiddling with my new postfix installation (which has been working quite well), trying to figure out how to even out my current 200 to 1 spam ratio.
I'm now trying out dspam, and I have all the routing working, and the web interface is working (finally), but the only problem I'm having is, well... All the tr...

Collin's Testimony
PoeticIntensity
During last month's testimony meeting, our wonderful Luci whispered into Sarah's ear, as the church members were expressing their feelings about Christ, that she really didn't want to go up there. It was totally unprovoked, but as she is somewhat frightened of unfamiliar situations, was totally understandable.
We told her that it was okay ...

that it is an awful sin, and as long as you don't act on it, youre okay.
I really don't believe that God would make 10% of...
