Bizarre event of the day

Just now, my monitor froze.

It was in power-save mode, as the computer was off, but when I turned the computer on, the monitor did not wake up.

The power LED was amber, and the selected-input 1 LED was green. But none of the buttons on it did anything. Including the power button. (I pressed the power button and the monitor stayed on.)

I unplugged the monitor and plugged it back in to restore normal operation.

Quote of the Day

“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” — John Adams, June 21, 1776

An update to my thoughts on marriage

My thoughts on marriage (and homosexual “marriage” in particular) have
changed a little bit over the time since it became “legalized”, so I
figured I’d share a bit about my current thinking. If you aren’t
interested in my thoughts on the topic, feel free to stop reading. I’m
likely to ramble some a bit, anyway.

Cell Phone Ponderings

Now that I’m traveling to more and more events, the utility of a cell phone is becoming more and more apparent. I’ve been staying away from them since they don’t work anywhere near my house, but perhaps they’d be useful when away from home. But, it’d be used rarely, so I’m thinking that perhaps some prepaid plan may work best. (Our home phone line usage averages 150 minutes a month, and this is likely to be used much less than that.) Just wondering if people have recommendations or suggestions.

Email vs. Gmail

Yesterday, our young adult bible study group was meeting, and I remember there was some discussion that it may have been at a different place than normal. Shortly before going, I dug through my email (where the discussion took place) but couldn’t authoritatively determine what consensus as to a location had been reached. So, I ended up calling the location where it usually was to determine that it had, in fact, been moved.

Good news; bad news

Bad news: I’ve been sick last night and today. :(

Good news: I got my reverse DNS for my IPv6 block (which is now 2001:4840:ffff:fff0::/64, and should stay that way) delegated to my own DNS server, so I have forward and reverse resolution for my personal workstation (edgar.cooperjr.name) set up now.
