Weekend Yada Yada…

Stuffs accomplished this weekend. Installing Windows — our TV broke down due to bad memory, which subsequently ruin the whole box. Got a cheap replacement from eBay two weeks ago, and only had managed to reinstall Windows properly last night. Hopefully that will be the last for this year. Installing Linux — install a refresh rebuild of [...]

Moved to DreamHost

FuCoder.com is now hosted on DreamHost. Using the cheapest hosting plan, but it still provides me far more than I need. 4.8Gb space and 120Gb bandwidth a month. Shell on Debian-based Linux server. Cron job. Etc. It is actually the first time I signed up to a hosting account — most my other sites are [...]

If it is a commercial site, or you are making big bucks from your blogsites — then a commercial license needs [...]

Install Gentoo Linux on VMWare Player on Windows XP

(Update: Actually, there is no point setting up QEmu, playing around with VMX file, etc to try to bootstrap the disk image. There is actually no point getting VMWare Player. Just go an install the free VMWare Server — it is so much better.) Me. I am stuck. On Windows. Well, not really by choice. My work [...]

詩篇 117

詩篇 117 (和合本) 1萬國啊,你們都當讚美耶和華!萬民哪,你們都當頌讚他!2因為他向我們大施慈愛;耶和華的誠實存到永遠。你們要讚美耶和華! 上個星期天在教會裡,Grimmo 講道的經文就是這一段詩篇。整本聖經中最短的一章,包含了在詩篇裡重複過無數次的文字 — 似乎又是另一篇感謝耶和華的短詩。 但直到我們了解在第二節裡的「我們」指的並不是星期天早上那些聽道的「我們」,而是將近三千年前寫這詩的以色列人,我們才能體會到耶和華的慈愛是何等的大。要是一位身為耶和華選民的以色列人可以因耶和華的信實而頌讚祂,我們這些不配面對神的外邦人、這些生下來就拒絕祂的敵人,就更應當讚美祂的慈愛與大能。因為祂記得拯救與祂有約的以色列人,我們才有幸可以通過他們而得救。 羅馬書 11:28-31 (和合本) 28就著福音說,他們為你們的緣故是仇敵;就著揀選說,他們為列祖的緣故是蒙愛的。29因為神的恩賜和選召是沒有後悔的。30你們從前不順服神,如今因他們的不順服,你們倒蒙了憐恤。31這樣,他們也是不順服,叫他們因著施給你們的憐恤,現在也就蒙憐恤。

5 E’s that has been part of Unichurch’s mission statement for as far as I can remember. Evangelise Edify Equip Export Expand In yesterday’s Unichurch Together, where each congregation reported their progress on one of these 5 E’s. Praise to the Lord when there has been growth in almost all dimensions!

Mayor and his V8

An interesting local news from last week — Randwick Mayor Ted Seng of Liberal drives a V8 Holden whereas other Green mayors are moving to push-bikes. So the question is, what sort of car should be provided to city council mayors in Sydney? A $350 Giant? A $40,000 Toyota Prius that runs on hybrid of [...]

Permalink Redirect WordPress Plugin 0.4

Properly handle multi-page archives, and multi-page post entry. Force an exact match to the permalink, instead of just checking for partial match. So if you have a permalink structure that [...]

Effective Email Handling Tips

Aristotle Pagaltzis shared how he organised his mailboxes to make them efficient and effective. I quite like his approach and might give that a try myself, especially (1) reduce number of “filing folders” and rely on search to do the bulk of re-organisation (2) change the “sent folder” to inbox to create threaded view in [...]
