Love Offering

Posted on March 28, 2011 by timlyg

Many love to use the term "love offering". Some oppositions called it "guilt offering", I applaud.

Offering is the offering of something that is a must in recognition of a superior office.

The "love offering" I've seen is usually done in the guise of charity towards certain pastoral family members or giving of unwanted second hand products to that which pertains to churches, and fearing rejection...thus, replacing "donation" with the word "offering" it somewhat guarantees better acceptance of the gifts.

What then, should not others have the right to reject our charity? Whether it is their lost or not. If we are right to be rejected, should we not accept our guilt rather than covering it up with pride or sugarcoating terms?

Common Faults in Christian Beliefs

Posted on March 28, 2011 by timlyg

Charity is not offering, offering is not charity: One is of compassion or gratitude; the other of duty.

Knowing how to get saved is not the same as getting saved.

Autistic 12 year old do tough math

Posted on March 28, 2011 by timlyg

When it comes to child geniuses, I'm less skeptical on mathematicians than those of other fields favored by others, since I see mathematics as the academic subject closest to truth seeking.

So when I came across this article,  all I could think of is that this just proves that cuckoo psychologists who come up with terms like Asperger Syndrome, are pathetic.

FP and IP replacing O-O programming?

Posted on March 26, 2011 by timlyg

If a school like CMU is dissing O-O for other type of programming (functional and imperative), I better catch up.

455 vs 4.55

Posted on March 24, 2011 by timlyg

I finally got the payment from one client, accumulated from mid of last month. This particular salon is just very busy. No, I wouldn't put them on the black list.

Although, while Oded is a just and righteous seeker, his partner Avi is less of that sort. So whenever I deal with Avi, he loves to take more time but complain about the charge. Good thing is, they always pay nonetheless. So sometimes it is funny, like today, when Avi asked how much and I said: 455, he replied: 4 dollars...(since delayed payment is not usual with them unless they're really busy and I wouldn't want to bother them, a month's fee is a lot compared to the usual 35-70USD). I somehow didn't find anger anymore, just humorous. Perhaps I've adapted to his behavior. I wondered, other than his individual character, could his family size (Oded only has a new born daugther while he has probably 2 kids) be the cause of his personality.

I also got paid from another client this morning who hadn't called me since last year until today. Not a frequent client so their balance last year was only $80.

There's a greater temptation. That among all these conversations with them, trying to do the best job and get paid, I've been easily distracted that I focus on being the light of the world for myself instead of for God.

Self Evidence of Sinners

Posted on March 24, 2011 by timlyg

I supposed there has been this fad going around on facebook where perpetrators make links with culpable images to attract people to click on it, upon which clicking, will unknowingly add the same link and picture onto their own facebook profile for the world to see.

Whatever the motives these perpetrators are (I would guess: to reveal culpability in others), it doesn't excuse these from their own action, not to mention being a stumbling blocks to others. Hence it is twice evil. Thus, I said: perpetrators.

Virtual Worlds - Open Sims

Posted on March 23, 2011 by timlyg

After coming across Second Life, it took me a while of research to learn of this already more than 10 year old hype of internet technology.

I was researching for developing a virtual tour online for Biblical materials such as the Tabernacle, Solomon's Temple, etc. Apparently these things are lacking, while the secular materials are plenty in this area.

For me, it's not easy search to finally come to know the term: Open Sims. Similar to Second Life, only that it is free. Open server, everything self-achievable.

Although, during the search, I have come across this "Unity3D", another very well graphic oriented web-based 3D virtuality, which is supposed to work with Adobe's SmartFox Server. Giving an all browser user friendly environment.

I would choose to start with Unity3D, but perhaps I should briefly look into this Open Sims so as to not be a frog in a well.

Job's Work, more than known

Posted on March 21, 2011 by timlyg

Job has certainly done more in details.

Job 4:3  Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
Job 4:4  Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
 

From the words of his friends, he has helped the poor, the weak and the needy.

Department of Sanitation

Posted on March 21, 2011 by timlyg

I've one wondered about the sanitation in New York City...Now I have a closer look.

Seems like the landfill of Fresh Kills, Staten Island is carrying the burden of all 5 boroughs. Some of Staten Island's residents may object, but so far, it seems the only remote enough place from living neibhorhood, plus the counter benefit is that the methane produced from underground garbage is quite useful.

Dell USB Keyboard not recognized at BIOS time, thus cannot F2 into BIOS SETUP

Posted on March 18, 2011 by timlyg

Seems that no sound solution found. My solution is unplug power cable and repeat the test a few times using another USB port and it eventually works. Although, it will often go back to the same problem.

Machine: Dell Optiplex GX280
