Laura at Pursuing Holiness notes one and presents a course of action. I think bloggers often move past fair use, but news outlets and going way too far the other way. (0)

Christianity by Force or Manipulation
(2010/8/23)
There is very little that offends me more than the idea of manipulating people into Christian events or trying to convert them by force. (0)

What Makes a Plumber Real
(2010/7/20)
Michele Bachmann says she hopes that the newly formed Tea Party Caucus will provide a voice in congress for “real housewives, real farmers, real businessmen, real plumbers.” (Source.) I’m wondering how “real” farmers, businessmen, and plumbers differ from the rest … (1)

On Publishing, Page Layout, and Busy-ness

I’m finally getting back to blogging, and even a little of my own writing on other subjects. I thought I’d comment on what has been going on here that kept me away from my blogs for so long. I note that my post Why I Am Blogging Less was published on May [...]

Why I Am Blogging Less

I haven’t been very active on this blog or anywhere else over the last few weeks. That’s because work for my business has gotten pretty heavy. I even had to work with a cover designer via phone and e-mail while I entered his designs into the computer. Not being a very graphically oriented [...]

Michael Spencer – Internet Monk – Farewell!

A leading light in Christian blogging, with a challenging and varied blog, has gone on to glory after a battle with cancer. Chaplain Mike provides the news at the Internet Monk.

Surfacing again after Server Work

I’ve been working on servers both for my personal and business sites. I think the results are largely good, though due to the speed with which I did the work I keep finding glitches I need to correct.

I have also marked quite a few items in my RSS reader for links or [...]

Server Move

This was a lateral move with the same provider, but still the database was physically moved. If you commented over the last 24-48 hours and your comment is missing, it was most likely due to the move.

If you are seeing this, you can go ahead and comment and your comment will not be lost.

Server Problems with Two Blogs

Besides this blog, I also blog at Participatory Bible Study and Jevlir Caravansary. Those two blogs are suffering from server problems. I’m in the process of transferring them to another server, as this has been a frequent problem recently.

As the new DNS information finds its way through the internet (or even before, [...]

Ed Brayton on the Hidden Tax Argument

And I think he pretty much demolishes it as an argument. It is, of course, quite valid to calculate the cost of some policy and then ask whether the result is worth the price, but the simple statement that their is a cost accomplishes nothing.

One further note I would add. Just because [...]

Comment Moderation Accidentally Turned On

I don’t know how it happened, but when I moved my WordPress installation to this server, comment moderation was turned on and the settings reverted to registration required.

This represents an error on my part (though I’m not sure just what), not a change in policy. Moderation is again off and any user [...]

The Return of Threads

My company, Energion Publications, had difficulties with our hosting company, and it was traced to an apparent load created by this blog. Since it seemed top hard to convince the hosting company that a moderately successful (at best) blog such as this one would hardly be causing the difficulties they claimed, I simply [...]
