I've just checked the usual way to get onto the webstie. Tt;s fairly clear that DNS propagation has not hit NZ. The very nice people at the webhost told me. It appears that dns was still resolving to the old server. I have migrated dns to from a2s73 to a2ss3. Please allow up 24 hours … Continue reading Slavery, and administrivia.

I despise woman’s studies.
I generally like women, as individuals. The ideology of thinking that they are in some way pure, holy or righteous (and that men are not) is laughable, if they women who promote this did not take it so seriously. But when we reach reductio ad absurdam, then you quote. This is Gold, pure Gold. That … Continue reading I despise woman’s studies.
Global freezing or what?
My spy in Minnesota (well one of them) notes: It's the end of July, and the temperature is just shy of 60, about 12 degrees below average for this time of year. Thank you, global warming! In the meantime birds are singing, nests are being formed, and the first shoots of spring are happening in … Continue reading Global freezing or what?
Unplanned Good.
I emailed the web hosting people who checked and found that their DNS was pointing at the wrong server. They have fixed this, and hopefully this page will be coming up for most people in the next little while. Nonetheless, one should do good, with a crowd (ha. Never have one of those) or without. … Continue reading Unplanned Good.
Baptism.
I took some photos at Church with the permission of Barry yesterday (who wanted them all -- he is going to use them). Ron was baptized, quite late in life. I would not call taking photos in church a ministry, but it helped. Folks baptism is a command. Do it now, if you have not … Continue reading Baptism.
Is Paul a hypocrite? Yes, and a pragmatist as well.
Paul wrote multiple times that in his view circumcision was of no value. But he gets Timothy circumcised before they go on a missionary journey. The reason is "because of the Jews". We know that Paul would generally start preaching in the synagogue and then, when kicked out, preach to the Gentlies. So why circumcize … Continue reading Is Paul a hypocrite? Yes, and a pragmatist as well.
Google cannot reach here. Meh.
I have just looked again at Google. It's still pointing at the old website, hence no traffic. It does not matter. One should do the same with an audience and without an audience. So this morning, before Kirk, I sat down and (having got the IP address for this place loaded into my DNS -- … Continue reading Google cannot reach here. Meh.
Not afraid to tell you that you are damned.
The website server has been changed, and it is now up. There is a very small audience, which I'm finding strangely freeing. The traffic here is way down. So I have been playing with themes, added comment boxes, improved spam control and generally treated like I did at the beginning when I would change things … Continue reading Not afraid to tell you that you are damned.
Let us go and be judgmental.
First thing this morning the website is still down in NZ. So I am back writing the blog in Abiword -- I’m aware that WordPress will import word files, and Abiword is fairly lightweight, fast, does block quotes, and exports in the relevant format. I posted last night from a machine that has the new … Continue reading Let us go and be judgmental.
Rigidity restricts flawed perfection.
My server has moved, and the DNS has changed. At A2Hosting: it has not propagated around the web. Yet. As a result I cannot post the on the reading today. However, I can prepare it, save it as a file, and post it when things have propagated. Which could take some time. So I want … Continue reading Rigidity restricts flawed perfection.
