It’ll Be Tribulation

Posted on August 31, 2021 by ehurst

I’m just rattling my own cage here, thinking out loud. The odd thing about living by your convictions is that you can draw conclusions regrading what it signals in broader terms. If you sense the Lord telling you to go … Continue reading →

Maybe It’s Just Me

Posted on July 27, 2021 by ehurst

There’s a battle going on in my soul. From where my conscious awareness stands, it’s impossible to identify all the elements in the battle, particularly in terms of which is the good guys and the bad guys. Maybe it’s neither, … Continue reading →

Posted on March 17, 2021 by ehurst

What’s Required of You

Posted on June 30, 2020 by ehurst

Posted on October 5, 2019 by ehurst

Linux on HP Pavilion 590-p0044

Posted on June 28, 2019 by ehurst

First, perform due diligence. You need a Linux distro with a recent kernel to handle the Vega 11 graphics. I tested Ubuntu 19.04, Xubuntu 19.04 and OpenSUSE Leap 15.1. These three all handled it just fine, but Xubuntu was the … Continue reading →
