Last Feed Sample: After a long hiatus, I was invited to preach at my church’s youth group at their weekly Saturday evening meeting. I preached on the “falls of the just person” as stated in Proverbs 24:16. So far, it looks like the sermon was well-received. (I plan to post the notes soon.)
It was nice to be back [...]

I upgraded “phoenix”, my PIII-450 desktop workstation, to Slackware 12.1 over the last weekend. My workstation had Slackware 12.0 running smoothly, and I did the upgrade using the procedure described in the Slackware documentation.
Thankfully, the upgrade went well, and now I have 12.1 running on phoenix. Overall it feels really good, and even faster. The [...]

Reading several Internet news media, it is apparent that KDE has gotten a lot of heat recently from several quarters. The main issue seems to be the KDE 4 release and its buggy-incomplete quality, and the fact that several distributions rushed to place KDE 4.0.x as a replacement of KDE 3.5.10, something which clearly was [...]

I already said once that in Paraguay there’s a saying that goes like, “In Paraguay there are just two seasons: summer, and fishing…”, meaning that besides the scorching heat of summer, all other seasons are just practical jokes of Nature.

I need a hammer. A Really Big Big Big Bad Hammer(TM), and also Some Things to Crush In a Fit of Anger. While moderating my ever-increasing spam comments, some perfectly good and legitimate comments (especially those from Tom Di Giovanni) went down the drain, mistakenly classified as spam. My mistake, and my apologies to those [...]

Some days ago my boss, Rev. S., had a serious talk with me. He gave me some not so good news. Those were expected, but they were difficult news nonetheless.
Rev. S. told me that he would not seek another term as a high-ranking elected official in the denominational organization he is currently serving. That was [...]

From the original Latin, a timely advice for rulers everywhere, from one of them that once ruled over the whole civilized world:
Deo auctore nostrum gubernantes imperium, quod nobis a caelesti maiestate traditum est, et bella feliciter peragimus et pacem decoramus et statum rei publicae sustentamus: et ita nostros animos ad dei omnipotentis erigimus adiutorium, ut [...]

I am 37 years old now, and way beyond my childhood; but I remember clearly how much I wanted a brother. Being the eldest son and the only boy really had its challenges back then; because Dad was always away at the office, my only companions were all women, and it sucked worse than a [...]

Disclaimer: I usually refrain from dealing with politics. However, given that our recent elections had such significance, and that Tom asked me for an opinion, I allowed myself an exception here. Please bear with me
Right now it’s pretty old news: Monsignor Fernando Lugo won Presidential elections in Paraguay. While it may sound incredible [...]

This is a sad story of how a state-owned monopoly can hinder the flow of information to the public even in a supposedly free country.
The state-owned Paraguayan Communications Company (COPACO) has a firm grip on the Internet connectivity of most Paraguayans. This is because COPACO acts at two levels: (1) at the “provider” level, COPACO [...]
