I was just listening to This Week In Tech #101 and it turns out that two hours later over 100 security flaws were found in the Safari browser for Windows. Woops! As to whether the blame is on Apple or on Microsoft remains to be seen, however, I’m still behind browser competition, or any competition for that matter. Anyone for tennis?
I have about 4 more ducks waiting to be received by friends Franz and Brian, and that leads me to 1 duck away from a duck a week for the first year of this blog. Donations are wayyyyy up this month. I’ve also talked to Brian about a widget for the wordpress contest that appeals to my geekitude. I can think things up, but I can’t get much farther than the drawing board. Brian has the black belt in coding.
And on the self improvement front, I got Dave Allen’s “Getting Things Done” and actually got up and ran this morning. It’s time to streamline my life physically and mentally. Spiritually, I got God, and God is good.

…God reminds you how much you do have! Yesterday, 06.14, my car was unlocked from someone reaching through the window crack and a number of books religious in nature (including my Authorized Bible), a library book (Where’s My Jetpack as recommended by Merlin), and a bill with the check enclosed to be mailed were taken. After overcoming the initial feeling of being violated, I realized a number of things including, but not limited to:
How glad I am they didn’t break the glass (as I wouldn’t be able to afford fixing it)
How I hope they actually read all those books and have a heart change
How I pray for their salvation
How easy it is to cancel a checking account despite the inconvenience
How thankful I am for the mercy of God and how I was once in darkness without Him So all in all, I’m hopeful and in the market for a KJV bible. On other fronts, Safari for Windows! What a good idea! A subtle browser war inside the territory of PCs should happen, as it tends to just make products from the combatants better. My computer pedigree goes like this: Apple IIc+, Commodore Amiga 500, PC Pentium 200 MMX, PC AMD 400, PC AMD Athlon XP (2Ghz). I’m still waiting on stability before plunging into 64 bit technology. I figure next year will be the time to buy as J Consumer takes advantage of the power over Christmas. So here’s Thursday+1. Hope you all have a great Father’s Day. Do your Father’s heart good, go visit Him on Sunday and tell Him how much you love Him.
