The blog of the Ancient Mariner: That was quick!

That was quick!

The MoBo I ordered yesterday morning arrived a little while ago, so now, instead of being here in the office I want to go home and tear into that PC.

:-(

I'm also downloading PClinuxOS 2010.10 with KDE 4.4.3 as I type this. The review I just read convinced me I wanted to take a look and also provided a clue as to why I dislike the Gnome based variants of Linux. It seems that the KDE versions are starting to use higher resolution fonts (120dpi was mentioned) and I suspect this is why I find Kubuntu better than Ubuntu. They also apparently bundle 'non-free' (free as in thought - not free as in beer) codecs with the software so that it can handle DVDs etc. This is a good thing for those who don't want to spend hours trying to figure out how to obtain and then install them to end up with something that Windows does as standard.

It's a bit frustrating: I want to go home and play, and I need to stay here!

Play nice - I will delete anything I don't want associated with this blog and I will delete anonymous comments.

Why post emergent?

Why not?

Some years ago I wrote about things relating to church I thought were important then and probably still do to an extent. So many of us want to make sure stuff is right, trying to differentiate ourselves, yet also often miss the more important stuff, the bigger picture.

I watch various people doing church in different ways and wonder how much God is concerned about our 'important' bits of theology or stances we take. The church stream I was once so pleased to be part of is starting to look like every other church to me, so maybe it's time I had a little humility instead of pride at being different.
