Happy incarnation day.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Jesus was and is the God of the bible. Today we celebrate him coming as a helpless child. Happy incarnation day!

Writing Goals

Recently I came to the conclusion that I should write more often. That is, I believe, I should start to consider myself a "writer." That's the main reason there's been a bit of an increase in publishing to this blog (going from zero over the past few years to a couple times a month is a pretty huge jump). I, like most humans, have thoughts and opinions which are a product of the times and places in which I live. I figure I can do my part for future historians and write a few of them down. I also just might have enough creative juice to pump out a story or two. This blog I'd like to post to this blog at least once a week from now on, or at a minimum once a month. Really, anything at all would be better than what I've been doing. I'll mainly write about my life, family, interests, and opinions about, current events and local and state politics (I'll try to steer clear of national issues for my own sanity). Pretty...

Install ownCloud 2.0 on Ubuntu Server.

I recently stumbled upon a tutorial on how to setup ownCloud on a Debian machine . I had actually never heard of ownCloud until reading this tutorial but now it is one of the projects I am most excited about. ownCloud is an open source project that allows you to use your own server to store files, songs and do a bunch of other stuff. It is similar to the many cloud services available on the web except it never leaves your "custody." One very easy way to start using ownCloud is to install ownCloud 1.1 from the Ubuntu repository by running: $ sudo apt-get install owncloud However, ownCloud 1.1 is pretty boring compared to the super sexiness of ownCloud 2.0 in my opinion. So if you are cool with drab old 1.1 then go ahead and just apt-get it. But if you want the sexiness of 2.0 on your Ubuntu server please follow along... Getting ownCloud 2 up and running! Log into your Ubuntu server and install...

Warm season running goals

Now that it's possible to step outside without fear of slipping, falling and cracking my head open on some ice it's time to put back on the running shoes and go enjoy the sun (or rain as the case may be) again. Distance There was a time last summer when I could run 30k in a week. It felt great to be able to run 10k every other day without feeling 100% miserable the entire time. After a break lasting several months I am nowhere near having that kind of a base. My plan is to start things off with a goal of 15k per week moving up 10% every week until I get to 40k a week. I can't really see myself being able to run more than that. A t some point this summer I'll be adding regular biking and swimming into the mix. I should probably leave time for family, work and sleep somewhere in my schedule... Pace I'm pretty slow. I've never really gotten much better. Even when I was in decent running shape I was h...
