Boredom. Big Time.

Sunday, June 29th, 2003

I’m having problems, again, with the fact that I don’t have much in terms of either friends or a peer group, here (in Georgia, that is). Sure, there are some Christian folks roughly my age (though most are a couple years younger), but I don’t know of anyone around here with similar life experiences, interests, [...]

The Federal Marriage Amendment

Saturday, June 28th, 2003

Unless you’re living in a cave, you probably have heard about the recent Supreme Court overthrow of anti-sodomy laws in 13 states. You’ve probably also heard that this is “Gay Pride” weekend (or simply “Pride” weekend, since “gay” is apparently insensitive to the “transgendered” and all sorts of other folks).

Two words: “NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!”

Monday, June 23rd, 2003

The Rice Owls beat the Stanford Cardinal 14-2 to clinch a national championship, our first in any team sport! Go Rice! Hats off to all the Owls, and special thanks to Chris Kolkhorst, Vincent Sinisi, Jeff Neimann, Wade Townsend, Enrique Cruz, Philip Umber, and, of course, the one and only Wayne Graham. We love you, [...]

Better still, we just eliminated the defending national champions. Best of all: both of UT’s losses in the CWS came at the hands of my Rice Owls.
Yes, I’m [...]

The EdBlog works again, and other topics

Saturday, June 14th, 2003

The EdBlog “broke” at the end of May, when I found a ColdFusion MX limitation. (The last two entries had to be done by hand.) So, it took me a while today to fix it. It’s finally up, again.
Much of my free time over the last two weeks has been spent assembling an online directory [...]

Bellsouth, DTS, etc.

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2003

Well, today was long and frustrating… I have spent at least 20 hours of Campus Crusade’s time over the last week trying to get in touch with a system administrator for Bellsouth’s mail servers, but without any luck. Between customer service reps who don’t care, those who blatantly refuse to help me, and the vast [...]
