What I've been working on...
Lately I've been keeping very busy with programming the "next" version of ExponentCMS that should become visible here later this year (if all goes well). Our site currently uses a heavily modified version 0.98 of ExponentCMS. All of my modifications are publically available as that version of the code is no longer being actively maintained (except by me?). ...

Worship Projection for the Ceiling Challenged
Now that we're on the completed side of implementing projector use in our worship services, I can breathe a sigh of relief.

Never-the-less, after nearly seven (7) years since the initial planning stages, we've arrived! ...
Welcome to the new Tech Blog
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord AND Savior, Jesus Christ and welcome. I've finally decided to put the result of eight years of blood, sweat, and tears out there for use by others to prevent their having to pave that same gruesome trail. ...
