Mambo LogoMost of my web sites are based on Mambo, so this is indeed troubling news. But, I think it will be a positive thing once everything shakes out and the development team, which has left Mambo together, and the subordinate teams (documentation, implementation, pr, etc,) have a chance to regroup and reform around a new name and an updated product.

For me and the MyJC family, we will be going the way of the developers. Mambo is what it is today because of them and Robert Castley. Robert left the helm of Mambo over a year ago and Andrew Eddie has been leading since. Robert and Andrew are committed to Open Source and to the community of voluteers helping each other. I will be talking further with my individual customers about what the changes might mean down the road for our websites, but for now, nothing is changing in the short-run.

Mr. President:

As a Christian and an IT professional, I ask you not to hold up the implementation of the ability to register a .xxx domain name. The .xxx domain name registration will be good for our ability to filter content. This should be a first step in migrating pornography to a restricted area where "free speech" advocates can have the adult freedom to be wicked all they want, while we can restrict access by minors, homes and those that don't want to come across this trash accidentally.

Your analogy about creating a red light district on the Internet is accurate. Right now we have hookers and porn stars in our public libraries, our schools, our street corner vendors, and our homes. Creating a red light district will draw it away from the public areas and eventually we should be able to restrict it to just those areas.

Please do not hold up this important step in cleaning up the Internet and making it safe again for ourselves and our children.

Thank you,

Walt Robertson, MCSE

I'm still amazed the looks I get from people when I tell them I'm a geek. I get called things like, "guru," "Mr. Wizard," "Computer Guy," and the ilk. Call me what I am, a geek, but only in the modern sense of the word, ignoring completely it's eytmology. I do not bite the heads off of live chickens (is that even legal anymore?). According to dictionary.com, a geek is

Safe, Legal, and Rare - oh yeah?

ImageThe official launch today of abort73.com prompted me to write on this website about my experience in a change of mind about the issue of abortion.

The official Democrat position is that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.” We saw recently reelected California Senator Barbara Boxer “heroically” stand up for her values when she declared, “we will not go back to the days of back allies.” You can see that she is an advocate of “abortion on demand” from her voting record as reported by issues2000.org. So, how are the Democrats doing?

Pride and Humility
Verses
Written by Walt Robertson

Sanctification is both the process of putting off the old, and putting on the new. Put off pride and put on humility.

Exodus 10:3 Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, ?How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may serve Me'"

Duet 8:2 - 3"You shall remember all the way which the LORD your God has led you in the wilderness these forty years, that He might humble you, testing you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. 3"He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD."

 

Duet 8:16 -17 "In the wilderness He fed you manna which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do good for you in the end. 17"Otherwise, you may say in your heart, ?My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.'"

 

Psalm 10:17 O LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear

 

Psalm 25:9 He leads the humble in justice, and He teaches the humble His way.

 

Psalm 37:11 But the humble will inherit the land, and will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.

Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes dishonor, but with the humble is wisdom. 

Proverbs 16:19 It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Proverbs 29:23 A man's pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will obtain honor. 

Isaiah 66:2 "For My hand made all these things, thus all these things came into being," declares the Lord. "But to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word."

Daniel 4:37 "Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride." 

Zech 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, humble, and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

Matt 11:29 - 30 "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30"For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." 

James 4:6 - 10 But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble." 7Submit, therefore, to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

I Peter 3:8 - 9 To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; 9not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing. 

I Peter 5:5 - 7 You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

6Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, 7casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
