Linux Software RAID On Trial
PoeticIntensity
Here at work, the time is fast coming where I will be required to put live, the server I've been working on for the past year.
And we all know that when the rubber meets the road, things get a little bit more serious.
I came to the conclusion that since I'm the only Linux person in this company, should the Linux servers ever decide to go *kap...

Voicemail From Luci
PoeticIntensity
I was sifting through some old voicemails today, when I found this treasure. I almost deleted it when it was originally left, but I'm glad I didn't.
This will be fun to show Luci when she's older.
The voicemail itself is attached as audio in this entry....

Jacob : 4
PoeticIntensity
This chapter is full of doctrinal nuggets.
Some things I noticed this time around which I haven't noticed before are the following:
Verses 6-8 are primarily about the importance of revelation. We are told this importance is denounced by our time's people in 2nd Nephi 28:5-6. I had never made that connection before.

Jacob 3
PoeticIntensity
I've often wondered why this chapter isn't included in chapter 2. They both seem to go on about the evils of Jacob's audience. This chapter even goes further to say that the Lamanites at this time were more righteous than the Nephites because they have only one wife, and the husbands love their wives and children. They also are wi...

Jacob 2
PoeticIntensity
I honestly hope I'm never in the position to deliver a speech as the one Jacob records in this chapter. Holy moly.
He condemns pride, people seeking after riches, and chastity breakers to a degree not many other speeches can.
I wonder if the words he wrote were the same words he used in the speech, because a lot of the metaphors he uses a...

Moment of Truth??
PoeticIntensity
Last night, I watched a recording of American Idol, and since I have the myth system set to record 10 minutes previous to the beginning of the show, I had recorded the last 10 minutes of a show called "Moment Of Truth".
The whole premise of this show is to take a polygraph (lie-detector) test previous to the show, and then go on live TV...

Racing 3 Dream Cars
PoeticIntensity
As many of you know, I recently upgraded the exhaust on my 2007 Mustang GT.
Well... Tonight, I had to take it out to see what I could do. So, I went the usual route and didn't find much more than a crappy 90's Eclipse that wanted to play. After almost an hour of dragging back and forth, lady luck just didn't have it in for me tonight...

PoeticIntensity
Nothing really jumped out and grabbed me for this chapter.
I liked how Nephi was seemingly fiercely loved by his people. I wish we had a president today like that. Seems like politics in general now has nothing to do with what is best for the country. It's all about backstabbing, getting rich, and furthering agendas. I wo...

2nd Nephi : 33
PoeticIntensity
Verse which popped out at me this time around was verse 1.
This is probably the best illustration in all of scripture of how the Spirit works among people.
When someone speaks according to the Spirit of God, the Spirit breaks all barriers of communication and carries the message through a language agnostic medium which all hearts understand.

1st Nephi : 8

I'm not in the mood to write much, but since it's a goal, I'll keep it.
One thing I noticed and had a question about was why Nephi, Sariah, and Sam didn't know where to go in Lehi's dream. Verse 14 lays it out quite plainly.
The first thing that came to mind was Lehi was the leader of the family. He was the director and it was his d...

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).
