Roman Roads of the Modern World
In New Testament lore, we all recognize the importance of Rome. First, it was the model for the Beast of John’s Apocalypse. It was the major barrier to men knowing and obeying the Laws of God, and it was an … Continue reading
Building Xiphos on openSUSE 11.2
Given past performance, it’s quite likely someone will package Sword and Xiphos for SUSE 11.2, but I wasn’t willing to wait. For those of you eager to try this at home, I offer this outline. It is terse, but should … Continue reading
Trusting Microsoft?
Dana Blankenhorn asks What Would Make You Trust Microsoft? Good question. I’ll apply the same standard here as I do to everything else — God’s sense of justice. First, I suppose we should note, as one poster did, there are … Continue reading
XFCE: Less Is More
GTK is a very nice GUI toolkit. GNOME is rickety and parts, if not the whole thing, tend to crash way too much. You may have gotten a stable implementation on your Linux system, as CentOS does, but that’s only … Continue reading

Denounce Me — I’m Running Windows
This old HP Pavilion 542x was built from cheap parts. The motherboard alone would tell you that: Trigem Imperial. Yeah, the thing is junk, but it’s been running fine since we bought it new. Well, as fine as WinXP Home … Continue reading
Back On the Squeeze Console
I’ve decided I really must have one good console-only system. Since the old Pavilion 542x is hardly much good for GUI stuff, that was where it went. I still have CentOS 5 on the Inspiron for times when I have … Continue reading
While We’re Waiting…
