To Google Docs I Go

Posted in Personal on February 20th, 2010 by Josh – 1 Comment

Been a long time coming but I finally decided to migrate all my documents over to Google Docs.  I’ve been using Google Docs for years just never switched everything over.  The only negative thing I’ve noticed is there seems to be a bug or something funky with the way documents are presented when marked ‘Hidden’.  Still playing with it…

To Google Docs I Go

To Ubuntu or not to Ubuntu

I’m one of those weird people who have multiple computers, three at current count, each running a different OS.  Two desktops running Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux and my laptop running Apple OS X.  Lately I’ve been toying around with the idea of dropping my Windows installation for two Ubuntu computers.  I really like Ubuntu, I’ve been using it for years and haven’t had any problems with it except for my unfriendly printer that only has XP drivers…  but I digress.  Window 7 came out and while I did run the release candidate for a while there’s always those lingering issues:

  • It’s $200!
  • Windows so I know I’ll be plagued by slowdowns, spy-ware, viruses, etc
  • Did I mention it’s $200?

Who am I kidding, I’m going with Ubuntu

Grandma B

Last night Grandma B left us to go be with our Lord and Savior.  It pains the heart to know that such a kind and loving woman will not be here with us any more.  Yet my heart leaps with joy knowing that she is in no more pain and that she has finally made it home.  Grandma B, you will be missed.

Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.

John 14:1 – 4

Proverbs

I’ve always lived Proverbs, probably my favorite book.

“Teach a wise man. He will become even wiser. Teach a person who does right. He will learn even more. If you really want to become wise, you must begin by having respect for the Lord. To know the Holy One is to gain understanding.” – Proverbs 9:9-10

Good stuff!

Someone forwarded this to my wife, saw it and I think you’ll agree that it speaks for itself.

From SlashDot no less,

The Time Has Come

The time has come to do what almost every married man has to do at least once in their lives. This is one that many have braved and only few have mastered. I don’t know if I have it in me so please pray for me.

The time has come to hang CURTAIN RODS…
