Summer Techno-Ministry

For the summer months we have traditionally had Sunday school. However, at the request of both parents and students, I am doing something different this year. We will still have class, but it will be completely voluntary.
How is this different from not having class? Well, I’m glad you asked.
I introduced [...]

Computer Remote Access

Recently, I had a friend tell me that his computer has gotten slow and could I look it over. Sound familiar? It should. This is the same friend whose computer I have chronicled and done battle with in the past.
So, I stop by after work and look over the computer. While [...]

Joomla Install Error

Error: The XML response that was returned from the server is invalid.
That was the response from our Rackspace server as I tried to install a new instance of Joomla. As much as I want to say it was unexpected, the truth is, I have seen it before. I have a personal client who [...]

LaunchCFMApp -’Nuff Said

Here it is in all its glory.
Ain’t it grand?
Don’t [...]

Social Networking experiment

Going back to my days working in a cancer biology lab, I decided to also do another experiment besides Google AdWords [see below].  I also added links to the upcoming youth events on my FaceBook, Twitter, MySanAntonio.com and the KLOVE.com events.
So far, the FB (FaceBook) and MySA links have driven at least one person each [...]

[Update] Google AdWords Experiment

As often happens with youth ministry, I decided to try something new. I have two events this month, the Spring Fiesta and Movie on the Lawn, both on April 25, with one following the other. Now, any youth minister will tell you that no matter how much they plan an event, the hardest [...]
