Why do people insist on posting hate comments even after I delete them? There been have too many as of late so far I had to ban 3 IP’s because I don’t wish to constantly monitor my web site. Oh well, I am sure after 3 weeks the emotions will clear up and people will not be trolling out of hate after that, I hope. For those of you who want to post hate, or swear words I will delete them!! No questions asked I do not have anything against censorship, I believe it is good to have a level of censorship and I will practice censorship on my web site as I see fit.

I am working on killing the number of errors in the error logs

I have been working on killing some of the errors in my error logs. I have not put up 404’s and 403’s pages for every site I host here. So today, I just put up some simple 404 and 403 pages; I should have done that from day one. Plus I put a robot.txt file for each site I host here up. In 4 cases they are just empty files. I just have to make 4 more faviocon.ico files that should get rid of some more of the error messages in the logs. Once the favicon.ico files are done the error logs should be useful to me.

Only 25 more days

Only 25 more days until I am in the new apartment. It will be nice to have the bigger place. It will be nice not to have to crawl over my bed to get to my computers. Right since my current apartment is so small I am bound to have to clime over some object to get from one place to another place in the apartment. Another benefit of the new place is since it is right next to my church, which I am a sysadm at, and we have a wireless network there, I will be able to do some work on the network there from my home after the move.

I am going to have to start calling around to change my address with the companies that send me bill each month. Also I am going to have to get one of those change of address forms from the post office, so I can keep my mail coming to me.

Kerry concedes it’s over at lest we will not have another Florida 2000. Its over, we all can not rest easy. Well I hope that in 2 weeks we can get back to our normal lives. But I fear that the talking heads are going to go with this for months on end. Well lets see where things go. Now I turn my head to the next 2 big days in my life. Nov 9, I will then be 28, and Nov 27 I move to the new apartment.

Fox news is having it at 221 Bush and 133 Kerry, I will go so far to add another 55 to Kerry for California, there is now why on earth Bush could win California, but we only need 49 more Electoral votes now.

Comments: Comments Off on What is Matins (and Vespers)
Published on: November 2, 2004

In responce to a question I got in my guest book I will make a statement of what Matins (and Vespers) is. They are liturgical prays of the day, there are 7 prayer offices. They are
Matins
Lauds
Terce
Sext
None
Vespers
Compline


My church, First Trinity Lutheran Church, offers Matins Sunday, and Tuesday thur Friday
My church also offers Saterday night Vespers
These are liturgical prayer offices. When I am at home I use both “The Lutheran Hymnal” and the “The Daily Office” edited by Herbert Lindemann (CPH 1961, very hard to get a copy of this book)

Matins (from TLH) follows this order as typed up at the folks at lutheranhymnal.com

I will also pray them at home myself. Using both TLH and TDO

This is the video I took at the Pittsburgh Area Reformation Celebration today at First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Sharpsburgh. The video is 30Mb’s large so it will be a bit of time before it starts to play so please be peasant

Also if any one know of a good PHP program I can get to showcase the videos I have been uploading I would be appreciated of it if you could just leave the name and a site to look at in the comments.

4 big days in 3 days

Comments: Comments Off on 4 big days in 3 days
Published on: October 31, 2004

Ok that seems odd, but there are 4 big days in the next 3 days this year. Usually it would only be 3 big days in 2 days. But of course depending on who you are you might only recognize 1 maybe 2 normally so for some people they might only see 2 maybe 3. Well you might wonder what all of them are, if you don’t know what 2 of them are.


Well most people know October 31 as Halloween
For Lutherans October 31 is also Reformation day (a celebration of when Luther nailed his ninety-five teases to the church door in Wittenberg, October 31, 1517)
Nov 1 is All Saints Day
And this year Nov 2 is Election Day.

I say since we have 4 days in a 3 day span lets party down, ok maybe not.
