That’s the download speed I was getting off Microsoft.com just now.

I just upgraded to Rogers High Speed Internet Extreme (by purchasing the fancy modem, the regular fees are the same), and it’s freaking fast. I was expecting to not notice any difference at all, but I’ve been proven wrong.

The file I was downloading was the new Microsoft AntiSpyware tool. It comes highly recommended. I was using Ad-Aware 3 years ago, back when no one knew about it, and it’s been a pretty good tool. But Microsoft’s one picked up more stuff, was more intuitive as to what to do with it, and just has a better feel overall.

Microsoft AntiSpyware = A+
Rogers High Speed Extreme = A++

Thought for the day

Here’s one to make you ponder. Taken from Every Man’s Marriage, added to by me so that the context makes sense.

“In our role as spiritual leaders, when it comes to the bedroom we’ll find no other place in our marriage where it’s more important for us to think Christianly – for her sake. Yet there’s no place where we’re more willing to stretch Scripture for our sake.”
- Every Man’s Marriage, Arterburn and Stoeker.

Highly, highly recommended.

I’ve been silent for a while

Because life’s been busy. Haven’t spent a lot of time on the internet lately.

And I’m not about to start either, but seeing as you are, you can find some interesting reading on my Dad’s blog. This post in particular. I don’t fully agree with everything he’s implying, but I don’t fully disagree either.

Cheers.

And so it begins

The great TACF move has begun. It probably really begun a week or 3 ago, when people at 10 Marmac Drive began reshuffling and cleaning out there offices.

Today walls were coming down. We’ve sold our School of Ministry building, and are renovating in our Office/Youth building. My mailroom will be moved back into the church building. :( I was pretty thrilled to be out of that building. I don’t know why, but I don’t like the working environment there. I don’t just mean the physical environment, but also the spiritual environment. I’ve had strange feelings hanging around the back maintenance area, where my old office was.

Anyway, I’ll begin clearing out the space that will become my mailroom in the next few days, then demolishing some walls, and putting in my machines and tables. I’m guessing it’ll take a week or so from start to finish, depending on how much time I can give to it each day.

I’m looking forward to a change from my regular work for a couple of days. I love this job, and I still am happy to go to work when I wake up in the morning (which says a lot!) but it will be nice to smash down some walls, lay some carpet, and do some painting.

There’s loads more to say about this move and renovations, but I’ll write about it later. For now, read more about ligers.
