Any small business owner will tell you: “people think they know more than they actually do.” This is true of computer programmers; it is true of Christian ministers. The more we stretch ourselves and our limits, the more we realize how much we don’t know.

UMWCC Social Media Presence
126166172885 — for those wondering, that’s the number that matters. (Actually, that’s up for debate). That number is our regional church’s facebook page ID. Normally you wouldn’t see it — it’s not referenced in the page’s address (http://www.facebook.com/umwcc), nor is it listed as people search for “Christian Church in the Upper Midwest.” But it’s what […]
ContinueMerry Christmas!
Heidi and I wish you all a Merry Christmas. We were going to sign it “the Haverbergs” or “the Friekamps.” But with as many people as we have confused on our names, we decided to be literal.
ContinueEvery ms counts
I’m trying to teach myself this workflow and how to get all of the code to interact. The red connection and path are what I just stopped on. The JSON is working like a charm. In creating the PHP Web Service, I ran into a bit of an obstacle with large sections of scripture verses. […]
ContinueDisconnecting Facebook from Twitter
Trying to grasp social media is like taking two steps forward, one step back. Like many of my friends, I ran an analysis of the top words used in my Facebook statuses in 2010. While many of my colleagues had their spouse’s name, an affirming adjective, and a time of day in their words — […]
ContinueNo kidding …
I had to laugh at this article from CNN: They describe most NGOs, religious movements, and social service organizations. That line thrown in by the CNN Wire staff is classic. True. And yet, I hope it’s successful (in whatever way that might mean …)
ContinueSick as a Dog
Last week started horribly wrong. What we suspected was a foodborne illness was probably a stomach virus. Two and a half days later and I was just starting to re-hydrate. Thankfully, Odo, our beagle, kept me company. It made it being “sick as a dog” tolerable.
ContinueCustom Bible Taxonomy – Fail
I’ve spent a couple weeks’ free time building a custom Bible verse tagger for curriculum on DiscipleShare. It’s close, but not close enough that I can post the code for other developers to use. Right now I’m keeping it out of the WordPress structure. It’ll eventually be its own taxonomy plugin for a WordPress database […]
ContinueFinally! Feeds in Facebook Notes
I thought I’d never solve this. I was event tempted to use a 3rd-party app in Facebook to get this solved. For weeks I’ve run into errors with the Facebook notes importing tool. The gist of the tool is simple: give us your blog address and we’ll import any new content and sent traffic your […]
