Re: The Twitterless Week Experiment + Potential Substitutes

Rick — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:34:24 -0000

Yeah, Twitter's outages have been more than annoying. It's too bad that I've become accustomed to not being able to Twitter from GTalk; they really had me hooked there for a while. Plurk is interesting, but I agree...a little too quirky for my tastes. It does have some nice features, though. I'm just going to sit back and see what my blogging circle settles on, then I'll probably follow suit.

Re: Bye, bye Diigo

Rick — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 19:31:18 -0000

Yep, I've been of the opinion that Diigo is a little too much social bookmarking for my tastes. It just seems like too much of a good thing. Del.icio.us lets me save my own bookmarks for later use and let others choose whether or not to look at them.

Re: Help Jim… Get His Fatblogging Domain Back!

Rick — Sun, 20 May 2007 20:50:27 -0000

I've let domain names go, and they immediately get picked up by cyber squatters. What they do is buy up the name, use the legal cancellation policy, pick it up again, etc.... they end up not paying for their names, and in the mean time they get to use it for advertising purposes. It sucks, but it's legal.

PS: Jim, if you're losing weight and want to do some blogging about it, consider joining us!

Re: Help Jim… Get His Fatblogging Domain Back!

Rick — Sun, 20 May 2007 23:05:47 -0000

Yeah, it's really crazy. The guy at GoDaddy.com, Bob Parsons, says that the majority of domain names registered right now are handled this way. He's actively working to ban the practice, but it's an uphill battle. Personally, I think it's a pretty lousy practice.

Re: Google Docs in Elementary Schools

Rick — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 12:31:42 -0000

I'm an elementary counselor, and I hadn't seen the under-13 requirement before. I use Google Docs with our older kids (4th and 5th graders) for polling about various things. Technically, the kids are using it with adult supervision close at hand, so I wonder if that counts? I'd like to look into this a little more.

Re: Change

Rick — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 11:14:47 -0000

Amazing how we embrace change, but when it comes time for change in our own lives, we get a little cold feet sometimes! Congratulations, and best wishes to you and your family as you prepare to make this transition.

Re: Kids These Days

Rick — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 20:20:48 -0000

What I love is that Mozilla's servers is housed at my alma mater, Oregon State University! This project was done not far from campus a few years ago. I remember when it was first done. Looks kind of like open source aliens were trying to send us a message, or something.

I'm trying to teach my oldest about the virtues of open source, but only when I can get the buds to his iPod Touch out of his ears for long enough.

Re: “I’m a Fatass” Boot Camp

Rick — Tue, 22 May 2007 21:30:26 -0000

Yep, it can be tough, but its definitely worth it in the long run. Remember, nothing tastes as good as thin feels. I didn't make that up myself, I stole it from some other guy trying to lose weight.

Best of luck to you on this.

Re: Movable Type 4, WordPress Killer?

Rick — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 23:43:40 -0000

I'd have to have a really, really good reason to switch from WordPress to Moveable Type. I've only been blogging for a few years now, but I get the feeling that most bloggers are pretty true to their tools, and only move away from something when they have to. WordPress has been keeping up with a pretty steady upgrade schedule, and each major upgrade brings some cool things with it. Just my opinion, but I don't have any reason to switch at this point.

Hey Los, I'm digging the WordPress theme here. I'm a Blogger guy myself, and have thought about going to TypePad, but I've got easy access to WordPress from my webhost, so that might be my next thing.

Keep up the great work here.

Re: Ragamuffin Soul » Sleep. What a Novel Idea.

Rick — Sat, 22 Jul 2006 11:46:43 -0000

Your post here is timely. I'm trying to kick a really bad caffeine habit. How bad is it? Let's just say that if caffeine were a controlled substance, I'd be a junkie turning tricks out on the street. A couple of days ago, I decided to quit the stuff cold turkey, kind of as part of my "40 days" thing that I blogged about.

That was Wednesday. Thursday night, I went to bed at 8:30 and slept for 12 hours. Friday I walked around in a complete stupor. Took a two hour nap, and again slept for 12 hours last night. I woke up this morning with more energy than I've had in a long, long time.

Point is, I'm still trying to find my rhythm again. But yeah, sleep is a very good thing.

Re: Ragamuffin Soul » Blogging Funk

Rick — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 10:33:06 -0000

Yeah, I'm finding that as well. Probably just the summertime activities taking up a lot of people's time. Another thing is that I find is that I second-guess myself when I come across something interesting. Is it blog-worthy? Or just a waste of everybody's time? That can be a fuzzy line sometimes.

Re: Ragamuffin Soul » Losiah

Wow, Los, this is so awesome. Your family has truly been blessed. Many, many prayers of joy and thanksgiving for all of you.

Hey, when you get a chance, how about posting how you went about getting an "assignment" like this. Who knows, you may inspire one of your loyal listeners/readers to do the same.

Re: Ragamuffin Soul » Thank You

Re: Ragamuffin Soul » Cock Yo Head Left

Rick — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 11:06:41 -0000

A secret shopper can tell us a lot about our church, maybe some things that we don't want to take a good, hard look at. I don't care what kind of church it is: A home group, a small country church at the edge of a wheat field, or a big inner city church with somebody as hip as 'Los as the music pastor. If a visitor doesn't feel welcome the first time through the door, chances are they won't be back. What a tragedy.

Re: Ragamuffin Soul » Fat, Black, Gay, Grey, in no particular order…

Rick — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 10:21:30 -0000

Kristi, happens where I'm at, too. I keep talking about getting out of this town some day, but it's a good place to raise kids. Reasonably safe, lots of activities going on, plenty of opportunities to get involved. I may or may not lock the front door during the day.

Culturally, there is a strong native American heritage, as well as a Mexican population whose influence is growing. Also, proximity to the Columbia River and mountains, so that there is plenty of outdoor things going on as well.

I complain about it here sometime, but it's home to me.

Didn't the rest of the instrumentalists realize the lead wasn't playing in the correct key, BEFORE they came in? I guess if I'm hearing an E chord being played, but I see a D chord on the chart, I'll either transpose it on the fly or just not play. Just my .02 worth.

Re: Ragamuffin Soul » So Tell Me Your Problems…

Rick — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 08:41:27 -0000

When I was still working on my counseling degree, I had a conversation about my chosen line of work with a Christian woman. She told me, "How can you be a Christian and be a counselor, when all people need is JESUS?!?" Needless to say, I figured I wasn't going to get anywhere with this conversation. Sadly, too many Christians view counseling of any kind as a threat to a relationship with Christ.

Truth is, many people are walking around, stuck in a cycle that's getting them nowhere fast. A good counselor will help the client to discover those problem areas and help explore ways to a healthier life.

And, there are some outstanding counselors out there who aren't necessarily Christians. A good counselor will operate within the worldview of their clients. A good Christian counselor will use Biblical principals with a solid theoretical framework.

Re: Ragamuffin Soul » Blogging Code Class

Rick — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 10:04:35 -0000

Hey Los, just a tip, instead of creating screen shots with the code, you can click the "code" button in WordPress and just copy and paste the code into there. Then, people can just copy and paste it into their blogs. I think you'd get a few more helpers that way!

Re: Ragamuffin Soul » Blogging Code Class

Well said, Los. I don't have much to add here. It's amazing how the Spirit can move us through scripture as well as the music of our time. I've sung that song hundreds of times in my life, but never with the conviction that you've portrayed here. Food for my heart.

Re: Ragamuffin Soul » Hello. My name is Carlos. And I’m a Blogger

I'm somewhere between a believer and a blogaholic. I think I even have a post somewhere on my own blog about that from a few months back. The things that are holding me back from being an evangelist are 1) I don't promote it enough and 2) I don't post multiple times a day. I'm a little more than a believer because I check my stats religiously and I YouTube and GoogleVideo daily, scanning for blogworthy items.

Rick — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 11:04:07 -0000

I don't think it was a good thing for the pastor to call her on it from the pulpit. Does Sandals have somebody (a volunteer) waiting in the wings to take care of unexpected interruptions like that? For this mom, another younger female mom-type might be able to help her out a little more easily. Maybe some kid-kits on hand? Not sure what that would look like, but that's a thought. I'm not sure you want to make a rule telling people they can't bring their kids in.

And for the record, I had a friend who was a missionary in Africa for a few years. He said that these were outdoor services, and kids would run up and down and all over the place the entire two-hour sermon. Just a matter of cultural perspective, I guess.

Los, I'm kinda jealous. This was me just a few years ago. I remember my boys grabbing onto my lower lip and pulling it down to my navel. Then, they'd rock in the chair with me and we'd both go to sleep. Now, I've got a 14 year old running around with hair in his eyes and t-shirts that say "My Chemical Romance". I've also got a 10 year old who's the size of a high schooler and thinks he's Brian Urlacher.

Don't get me wrong--I love having older boys now. We just haven't done any rocking for a long time.

True story here. When I was in high school, there was an all-conference linebacker at a neighboring school. As an offensive lineman, I got on the business end of his shots way too often. When he took you out you wound up on the ground looking through your earhole.

District honor band time. Dude shows up with a flute, and guess what...he's pretty darn good with it. You think any of us jerks in the trombone section are gonna mention something about it to this guy? Noooo. It was then that I figured out he was a lot smarter than I was. I'm up in the back row sitting in front of the pot head percussionists, and right beside some guy that doesn't smell right. He's down there in the front row, surrounded by the babes.

D-ohhh.

From kindergarten on, I was always the tallest kid in class. Like, by a lot. So, when it came time to line up for concerts, assemblies, etc...I was always back row, smack dab in the middle. Any class I've taken since then, all the way through grad school, I just naturally stayed in that place. Even in church, it bugs me to have to sit anywhere else.

Now, when I go to work in the morning, I just grab two or three frozen tacos, and they're thawed out and ready to microwave when it gets lunch time. I'm so proud of myself.

I don't know how long he will be able to stave off the inevitable of being the backup guy to Quinn, but this will only help his cause to find a starting gig somewhere else. People in Oregon have known what a gem he is for a long time. I saw his very first game as a starter at Oregon State, and our collective jaws dropped the first time we saw him throw a deep pass. He made it look almost effortless. It's good that he had a breakout game yesterday.

I totally understand about having blog posts mentally written but not to the blog yet. I wonder if WordPress makes a plugin for that?

All great reasons to blog. Two people I wish would blog: My wife and my dad. They're both 10x smarter than I am, and I would read their stuff daily.

Nice set. Yeah, no down time where I come from. Our worship service was great, I just posted my worship confessional yesterday.

I love what Crowder has done for some of those older hymns. They might otherwise die out with this generation unless somebody makes them hip again.

Nice set! That's cool when you get to do your own tunes. We have a couple of really good song writers on our team, and we have no problem putting any of them right along side of a Tomlin or Redman tune. Thanks for posting this.

One important aspect of a wiki would be community support. For me, that would be MediaWiki, which I make use of on a daily basis. They have a good IRC channel that I use when I need help with something, and I don't believe I have ever come up empty with it. Thanks for a great article!

Re: HOW TO: Use Wikis for Business Projects

I love to use a wiki in group projects with team members at the school where I work. I'm not surprised it translates to the business world as well.

I'd already posted our set list today as a "worship confessional", but I came across your post here and updated mine to include the link here. Hope that's ok. Thanks, Fred, I look forward to reading more.

Fred, thanks for picking this idea up and running with it. It's great to see other perspectives in one central place. I've added a few blogs to my reader in the last few weeks.

Re: CCLI Top Songs - Blessed Be Your Name

If my vote counted, this song would be #1. I didn't become a fan of it until I heard Newsboys do it live in 2005, and I was hooked after that.

Yikes, I accidentally entered the wrong url into Mr. Linky. I put the correct one up now.

Re: No More Upgrading! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

Rick — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 00:40:56 -0000

Yeah...it's a pain to keep it upgraded all the time. I find myself doing it the day of every release, though. Guess I'll never learn.

Re: Linux Mint 7 Refreshes yet Feels just as Comfortable

Rick — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 16:55:45 -0000

Found your blog through DPS, on their recent GIMP article.

I've been using ubuntu for several months now, and actually didn't find out about Mint until after I'd become comfortable with ubuntu. I may have to create a Live CD and take it for a test drive. The only thing that I'm unhappy with ubuntu right now is that it isn't picking up my 3-D graphics very well on my laptop. Therefore, apps like Google Earth become impossible to run. I've researched forums and have come to the conclusion that my particular card isn't supported very well by ubuntu. Windows Vista, which is what was on that machine before, did great with it. I wonder if Mint would support it any better? It's worth a shot.

I wonder if it will last longer than WalMart's social networking site?

Re: Is Anyone Asking Ask.com?

Rick — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 00:20:25 -0000

The last couple of times I've tried ask.com, I haven't generated very good search results. Many of the links it presented were either not there any more or just really old. I didn't know anybody was using anything BUT Google any more. At least they index on a regular basis.

Wow, nice Technorati ranking. Those are tough to come by.

Re: HOW TO: Stay Organized With Google Calendar

I quit trying! I had to succumb to the our Outlook calendar on the iPhone and abandon my Google calendar altogether. It was either that or run two completely different calendars

Re: Wordpress 2.1 “Ella” released

Rick — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 22:57:01 -0000

I'm having a tough time with this one. One of my favorite plugins, My Link Order, won't work with it. It's supposed to, but it doesn't. I've even been corresponding with the plugin author to work it out. So far, nothing.

Re: Open Word documents through Google Docs in GMail

Rick — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 23:26:11 -0000

The only problem with that is if your Word or OpenOffice.org document relies on table formatting at all. My experience is that Google Docs is useful for a lot of things, but that's not one of them!

Re: Picasa Mobile

Rick — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 14:57:02 -0000

I love Picasa, both the desktop tool and the online web album. There are people out there who swear by Flickr, but I've personally never used it. Picasa integrates so easily with everything else Google that I'm using, so I'm sticking with that for the time being.

Now if I could only get it to connect to my non-Google blog!
