Miscellany Abounds

Now hear this:

I got news from Wartburg Theological Seminary that, provided that my last recommendation form and a stray college transcript get turned in soon, I will get my provisional acceptance to the seminary. I also found out that I will have to take Summer Greek, so I can expect to start the third week in July. Less than 4 months to go!

My website was offline for about a day. Sorry about that – Nightmarehost’s one-click installer picked the wrong database hostname (but the right database, fortunately) for my Wordpress installation, and when I deleted that hostname, it took my site down (but not my data). Either that, or I picked wrong – but I’d rather blame them.

Merl Ledford III is my new personal hero. I read a terrific letter from this attorney whose “middle-aged, conservative clients” are accused by the RIAA of downloading gangsta-rap. He’s taking the fight to them. In his words: “It is no fun becoming a litigation target as the result of your clients’ widely-discredited tactics.”

That is all.
