Gentoo in the Business World
PoeticIntensity
It's not too often you read stories about a business who knowingly chooses gentoo as their Linux distribution of choice; this is why I liked this story so much.
Everything they say about gentoo (both good and bad) I believe is right on the money.
This company chose gentoo to run their main servers for an email marketing company, and haven...

Survey Says... "The Data is GOOD!"
PoeticIntensity
Okay, people....
I was hired on here at Nature's Way as the only person in the IT department who knows anything about web development. Almost all people here are either networking, helpdesk, or SAP gurus. They desperately needed help in the web development corner of IT. So... They hired me. Go figure.
Anyway... I w...

New Haircut
PoeticIntensity
I just thought I'd let ya'll know that I got a new haircut a couple of days ago. I think its swell.
I guess this just goes to show that I'm not entirely sane... pretty much... ever.
The mohawk has quite a story which I might as well divulge right about now.
It all happened about 7 years ago, when my brothers all got together for some event...

Did I switch too soon?
PoeticIntensity
Today was a good day. I didn't get enough sleep, so after our work lunch party, which enabled us to eat large amounts of Korean food (seasoned beef 'n' stuff wrapped in lettuce was good, but I didn't like the "kimchi" which was nothing more than hot and spicy rotten cabbage), I felt a bit tired... Too tired to work.
So, I wen...

Staying True to Yourself
PoeticIntensity
One other thing I've been thinking about lately is a lesson I learned a long time ago. This lesson is summarized into one sentence:
Being true to God in no way diminishes your being true to yourself, simply because God knows how the *best* "you" is.
I was talking with one of my brothers when he said "But if I become 'churchy'...

Amber's Poem
pulupaki_famili
(poem)
One day along time ago,
Before the world began
A plan was given to each of us
It was placed in our willing hands
There were two parts to this plan
One was for all the world
The other plan was just for us
About our life and what was in store
This first plan included a Savior
Jesus Christ, our brother
He will come to earth...
