My friends at ReadWriteWeb speculate that it’s because of the recession. Could be. If so, that means the US economy is a lot worse than she thought. You’d have to be pretty desperate to scale down from broadband to dialup. Those NetZero commercials couldn’t be having that much effect, could they?

Psalm of the Day
Today marks the conversion of Paul. He’s busy giving interviews today or I would invite him to do a guest post. Sistertech is not big on proselytising, she lets her work speak for The One In Charge. This means that my full time job is evangelizing. Some may see this as contradictory. It is not. And it is not solely because Sistertech is an angel. Anyone in our industry is an evangelist of one kind or another. (One need only look at brother Gary, for example.) Continue reading “Psalm of the Day”
Time Vampires
Sistertech would like to remind everyone that while there are time vampires out there, there is no cause for alarm or dismay. The time vampires don’t have a chance.
Romans 8:38-39
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Psalm of the Day
As you all know, I am sure, quality control is a serious concern in our industry. Fortunately, Sistertech relies on The One In Charge to provide excellent guidance in this matter.

Psalm 19
1The heavens are telling the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
2Day to day pours forth speech,
and night to night declares knowledge.
3There is no speech, nor are there words;
their voice is not heard;
4yet their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
I implore you, brothers and sisters, whenever you are tempted to cut corners to save time or to put more cash in your pocket, simply to look up and you will see your role model.
Apple tablet
Sistertech is keeping her head down on this one. The guys in the Public Communications Dept always get touchy about any changes in the text distribution chain of The Document. They’ve even got a Google alert for any mention of revisions on The Document or anything claiming to rival The Document. What caught my eye was this doozy:
Not since biblical times has the arrival of a tablet been greeted with such anticipation.
Psalm of the Day
If one of your favorite Christmas carols is “O Little Town of Bethlehem” thank Phillips Brooks, whom Sistertech remembers this day. He also was known for giving wonderful sermons. Sources suggest his sermons are well worth reading today.
“Rejoice” is the them of the Psalm of the Day: Ps. 33:1-5, 20-21. So put a song in your heart–new or otherwise–and rejoice in The One In Charge.
1Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous.
Praise befits the upright.
2Praise the Lord with the lyre;
make melody to him with the harp of ten strings.
3Sing to him a new song;
play skilfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
4For the word of the Lord is upright,
and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
20Our soul waits for the Lord;
he is our help and shield.
21Our heart is glad in him,
because we trust in his holy name.
Psalm of the Day
Ever have a client flat out lie about what you did or did not say? You need to memorize Psalm 116:10.
10I kept my faith, even when I said,
‘I am greatly afflicted’;
11I said in my consternation,
‘Everyone is a liar.’
Coding away
It’s been raining here. Cats and dogs rain; thunder and lightening. Perfect weather for coding. Sistertech loves coding. There’s the thrill of the hunt for the most elegant solution to some thorny error or some annoying computing task. But there is another reason. I could get in trouble for saying this. Continue reading “Coding away”
Psalm of the Day
Today Sistertech remembers Agnes of Rome, who was martyred around 304. Agnes has been a role model for Sistertech. She reminds me that age is not a impediment to standing up for what one believes in and for being able to make difficult choices.
How’s your connectivity?
Sistertech had a client a few days ago who was having trouble with her wireless keyboard and mouse. It was a Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 710 Laser
