Theme Pack for Windows 7: Life of Jesus Christ
It’s a little late for Easter, but I decided to throw this theme pack together using images from the Gospel Art Book put out by the LDS church. I just used Windows Live Photo Gallery to crop the images to 16:9.
Edit 6/17/2009: I have updated the theme pack; it seems I didn’t crop one of the photos. Please note this is optimized for 16:9 displays (widescreen) and will work great with 16:10.
A $173.40 Toothbrush and More Server Shenanigans!
I went to the dentist today for the first time in over 3 years. I know, and I’m a bad flosser too. Since I don’t have dental insurance, the cost for the cleaning and x-rays was $173.40 which included a complimentary toothbrush. Why the toothbrush? Why not just knock $100 off my total bill? I would like that much more than a red toothbrush and some floss.

Server Update!
In my post Ch-ch-changes! I spoke about getting WordPress to run on IIS 7, Vista, etc. It was a huge pain. 2 days ago I had a genius idea that I was surprised I hadn’t thought of before. What prompted it was an article on Engadget about a tiny linux computer that would fit in a wall wart – TINY! It has a relatively powerful ARM processor (usually used in cell phones) with 512 MB RAM and 512 MB onboard flash memory. The first thing I thought about that was: LAMP server! I have to wait until the price drops to $50 to see if it will work.
Site Back Up!
Over the past 4 days my blog has been down. I was silly and decided to swap out motherboards, thinking Vista wouldn’t have a problem with that. Well… it did. But, I’ve been extra diligent by way of daily backups, so almost everything is restored (I lost a few comments, unfortunately).
My Terrifying Dream
![LOMMANTHING1[1]](http://bradford.law-family.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/lommanthing11.jpg "LOMMANTHING1[1]")
Early this morning I had a terrifying dream.
In my terrifying dream, I was part of a group of inter-dimensional travelers, not unlike those in the television show Sliders from the 1990s. We slid into a dimension that was exactly like the world found in I Am Legend – destroyed by a virus that turned humans into fast, evil, light-hating zombies!
