I have to say it’s wonderful not to have anything to say about the phone system, other than it is running mostly smoothly. I’ve been moving on to other projects. We are re-doing the Arrowhead website (still, but we’ve finally got a clear direction to take it), and I’ve been documenting my job. We had decided a while back to get a second sattelite Internet account. At first we were only going to use it at night, so I had to figure out how to switch from one modem to the other. It took some work, but I got it. Today I find out they want me to set it up so we use both accounts at the same time. Dang. Now I have to redo everything. Literally. I’m running IPCop on our router, and it wont do multiple simultaneous Internet connections. I’ve got to install and learn a totally new system by the end of this month. Yeah… ok. It’ll be interesting. I’m planning on using pfsense, so we’ll see how that goes. I caught another cold, but it really hasn’t been that bad. A cough and a bit of a stuffed nose, but other than that I’ve felt great.
Ok, totally different topic. Just for the record last weekend was horribly wonderful. I took a half day on Friday, and went hiking with a couple of the students. Long story short, we (ok I) got my car stuck, got it unstuck (with some help), went hiking through waste deep snow, and then drove back to camp on very muddy/slippery roads. The office chair has not been good to me, I almost died. Then Saturday afternoon we went hiking again, followed by a bike ride on Sunday. I had more physical activity last weekend than I’ve had in the past three or four months combined. End of story. This blog has gotten rather long and rambling.
Psalm 70:5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.
Proverbs 30:32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
Basically (Eric’s paraphrase) shut up.
Ecclesiastes 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
I read this and thought of the college students.
12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
