Anthology of Ideas

Even though there won’t be any new large content posts, I will update the news. So far (in the last two days) I have started or finished a pile of posts, I have completely switched over to WP 2.1 (on localhost), restructured the site, and am working to minimize the size of the files used and to minimize the number of links on the front page. Hopefully the latter two will make google like me again.

I’ve been in the process of developing new features and projects for this website. Unfortunately, between this and constant server problems it is becoming harder to keep up with weekly updates of existing projects. So rather than let the site languish in mediocrity, I will be taking a one month hiatus (until mid-February) from updates to current projects. During this time I will be developing all of my new projects and will continue to work on older projects.

All fixed. Things will now resume.

One thing that I have always loved about C.S. Lewis’s book The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe is the fact that animals are intelligent. In a children’s fantasy book this is easy because you don’t really have to explain why people sit down at the table and start chewing on something that was singing and dancing not so long ago. Unfortunately, without the explanations there is a gaping hole in the thought process behind the book.

Apache is having trouble doing url rewrites, so temporarily links into the site will be broken. Links on the site itself should be fine though.

The City Of God was written around 420 A.D. in response to the sacking of Rome by the Visigoths in 410 A.D . Many Romans believed that the sacking of Rome occurred because the pagan Roman gods were angry with Romans for abandoning them in favor of Christianity. Saint Augustine combated this by effectively saying that Rome, because it is an earthly city, does not matter; only the city of God matters.
