This Side of the Pulpit

Status Update

I suppose it’s that time of year…
Everyone at my house has had at least one round of the nasties this year. The kids: H1N1, strep throat, ear infections–one or more each. Mix-and-match to your liking. Marjorie is recovering from the pneumonia and whatever caused it, I’m slowly improving from the sinus infection, and whatever caused [...]

Boring Computer Hardware Post

I’m through with Dell Computers.
This time it’s the power supply. Our home computer has taken to shutting down suddenly and without notice every so often. That computer runs Ubuntu most of the time, so it doesn’t freak out about “not shutting down correctly”, but it’s annoying and could eventually cause some data loss.
No big deal, right? [...]

Bibleworks 8 Review

I bought Bibleworks 3 when I was a seminary student. It was an incredible program back then, helping me extensively with exegetical work for sermons and seminary papers. It was so powerful I found I didn’t use half its features. Years later I upgraded to version 5. There were a few changes, mostly in additional resources [...]

2. Because it’s a pain to reboot and reload Windows [...]

Feeds Working…Except for Google

It seems that Google Reader is trying to find an old version of the feed when you add it directly from there. Works fine if you use the subscribe button on the right side.
I did have a problem with one post, but I think that’s corrected. Again, if you are having problems updating your feed, [...]

Having Feed Issues?

One of my readers notified me of some feed issues with the blog. I did a lot of back-end maintenance and reconfiguring a few nights ago, and some of the feed readers are not picking up the correct feed. Until I get this sorted out, the best way to subscribe to the blog via its [...]
