Crap. It is Monday morning again. I usually look forward to Monday mornings, because during the week is really the time that I can have some rest. Many people that I talked to doing lay ministry would agree with me – weekend is really the killer. Especially the Sunday where you will basically work non-stop [...]

Well. It is not really a reflection but MovableType insists that there must be a title for each blog element. Well. It is 1:22am and I am still struggling. I was trying to finish up the pamphlet and program outline for the MBF’s Christmas evangelistic event on 21st of December, where we will have some [...]

Having enough breath of God? Err. I mean, we want more scriptures!! First of all, we see from 2 Peter 1:20-21 that all scriptures are having dual authorship – it is written by men at various time in various places. But at the same time they are all inspired by God. As it is written [...]

Actually, I created this new category a few days ago thinking of writing something about websites and things that amuse me as a amateur webmaster, however I have not really had anything in mind that I want to write (busy busy). I work as a software developer, and have great interest in multi-threaded/multi-process application server [...]

Saw this story on Slashdot this morning, which linked to another article on the CNN website. According to the reporter, “The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers” DVD is already available on the Shanghai street for about $1 a pop. That price sounds right as I spoke to a guy from China that it [...]

In my daily meaningless surf on the Internet, I discovered a website that sells a ticket to Heaven. Ticket 2 Heaven Inc. is calling its audiences to “Make a Statement about your commitment to living a lifestyle that ultimately rewards you with your place in Heaven. Let this Symbolic Ticket and Certificate Of Authenticity serve [...]

Found an interesting website today that uses Google – Googlism. Googlism will find out what Google.com thinks of you, your friends or anything. It basically provide you with a text box for input, and then forward the request to Google and then analyse the output to determine what other pages on the Internet say about [...]

The overdue by one week updated Internode ADSL plan has just been released this morning at around 9:00am AEST. The Internode MD Simon Hackett announced the upcoming plan a few month ago on Australia’s broadband community Whirlpool, and initially the change-over was planned to be during Oct/Nov this year. October passed and so did Novemeber, [...]

I have just installed the Scripturizing Plugin for MovableType, which scans the blog text for strings that look at Bible references, and then make a link to an online Bible so that the readers can see whole verse. For example, it shall automatically make a hyperlink when it hits a text string like Romans 5:9-10 [...]

In the December 7 2002 issue of the World Magazine, the cover story is titled “Speaking Frankly“. It is an interview/article about the son of the famous evangelist Billy Graham – Franklin Graham. It is an article that focus on some controversies that Franklin has made during his continuation of his father’s ministry in BGEA [...]

Starting from about 4:00 this afternoon, our office at Alexandria is having bad power problem. The power got cut off randomly every few minutes, but everytime it will just be a split second. Sometimes our machines survived, but many time those boxes did not. Because I am working on a notebook with battery plugged in, [...]

Introduction Most domain name registrars won’t let you host your own DNS unless you have both master and slave (primary and secondary) DNS servers set up properly. However, not many people are priviledged to have that many boxes on the Internet, and sometimes it will be nice to have someone else (hopefully someone reliable enough) [...]

Dr Rowan Williams has officially become the Archbishop of Canterbury. I am not an Anglican, even though I go to an Anglican church, and I am not really sure about the role of Archbishop of Canterbury and how it stands in the Anglican hierarchy. However, from the tone of the another linked story, it seems [...]

As Phillip Jensen has been named as the new Dean of Sydney, and is moving to the Cathedral, there are a lot of changes to the St. Matthias group of churches. There is no exception to the International Unichurch that I am going to. In today’s service, Joshua has briefly announced what will probably happen [...]
