After using my MacBook Pro on a daily basis for several months, I started buying other Mac systems for our home office. (We have a small video business that we run out of our home.) I had originally thought that the transition would be much more painful, but it has turned out to be reasonably easy. ...
We hit the ground running when we got home on Sunday. I immediately started mowing the yard, as it had been two weeks since it was mowed and I think it rained every day we were gone. I had a little trouble with the mower at first. It appeared that the fuel pump was not working, but after I worked on it a bit I found that it had lost it’s prime. After that, it was just a battle to plow through the wet, thick grass. The yard looks horrible. I should have had a local farmer come over and bale it for hay. :) ...
We finally got on the road at about 2:00 Wednesday afternoon. (June 18th) I really wanted to be on the road by noon, but packing and trying to get videos for Dance Craze kept us too busy. After a trip to town for a few things, we finally set out. Our first stop was Mammoth Spring in Arkansas. By the time we got there, we were all in need of a restroom and a leg stretch. The park is very pretty. Stef and I managed to get a few good pictures. We saw some kind of little critter in the water that we first thought was a beaver, but after we noticed that the tail was not right, we decided it was something else. We also saw a water snake of some kind. ...
I have rejoined the magical world of photography after a few months hiatus. My buddy Mark started using my Nikon D50 a few months ago for sports photography, and I never got it back. It’s just as well. He has been able to use that rig to get some fabulous photos and has even managed to sell a few. His efforts came to a screeching halt when the 55-200 lens he was using went toes up. ...
Unless you want to spend the money to hire a professional developer, there just doesn’t seem to be a great solution out there for churches. Now, I understand that there are some good efforts going on. My problem with those is that I need to be able to hand off the daily maintenance of the site to a staff member or a ministry volunteer and the “good efforts” are still not very user friendly. ...
I recently needed clarification on the differences between active and passive FTP. I found a great article that explains it very well. http://www.slacksite.com/other/ftp.html I’ll be adding this site to my list of research resources for future use.
Kudos to Dreamhost for outsmarting my attempt to delete critical data. ...
