Everything’s Amazing & Nobody Is Happy

I have days like this at work.  I’m even guilty of it myself sometimes.

SSL Identification Errors

Our clergy e-mail server at work is running a Thawte SSL123 certificate for securing all webmail, POP/SSL and SMTP/SSL traffic.  They have been an excellent certificate authority and we have used them for several years now.  Unfortunately, the certificate in question expired over the weekend.  I was supposed to renew it late Saturday night or [...]

Faith & Technology

I submitted my first article for our new Faith & Technology blog today.  We are starting this up as a collaborative effort between several clergy and lay people around our Conference.  Its purpose is to discuss technology and the various ways in which it impacts faith and our local church community.  This is my first [...]

At the time we made clear that “we will carefully [...]

Now That’s an Old E-mail (For Me Anyway)!

After writing my earlier post on the demise of Geocities I spent a few minutes poking around Google to try to find some of my old stuff.  I stumbled across this long lost e-mail!  Back in college I tried to start an online newsletter for aspiring writers.  The newsletter didn’t make it long term so [...]

Goodbye Geocities

I remember setting up my first Geocities webpage back when I was in college.  In 1995 anyone who could make their own webpage was some kind of technical wizard.  I spent a lot of time hand coding html files with a text editor.  Creating a website is a completely different process now. This is the [...]
