Raine & Horne Allawah started posting signs in people’s property to advertise themselves, not to advertise a property for sale or lease. We removed the sign from our property. The next day, a new one appeared. This is just a cheap and scandalous way of advertising driven by greed and desperation. How low can Raine & Horne go in the property boom? Way down to the bottom!

I just installed Windows 7 RC1 in my Toshiba laptop A205. I received a notification that the built-in camera is not working. I checked the Device Manager. It said that there was a problem with the registry. I tried updating the driver but it said my latest driver was the latest one.
So I checked out some forum. One post suggested installing a driver from http://203.56.127.6/driver_download/Public//p2_all/ChiconyWebcam_v1.7.175.0123.exe. I gave it a go and it worked! Sweet! … I didn’t have to tinker around with the registry.
I had a problem with adding iframe into Joomla editor. Whenever I pasted the iframe link from Google map in the HTML view and returned to the editor, the iframe line was removed. In my search for answer to solve this, I stumbled a discussion in http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/forum/topic?f=17&t=14397 which discussed the same problem in JCE environment. JCE is Joomla content editor, an extensino to Joomla.
I decided to install JCE to give it a go. It solved the problem! Now, installing JCE is a bit tricky. The installation information is spread at different places. Here I’m putting together the steps to remind myself and help other people who may want to install JCE for the first time.

4. Go back to the download page
5. Click the Editor Plugin link

7. Go back to the download page
8. Click the Plugin link

When you edit an article, you will notice that the editor layout has changed.
After listening to Kodak’s history at Ad-tech this morning, I have been thinking that church operation should be no different from Kodak’s. Of course, I’m NOT suggesting gospel 2.0 or Christianity 2.0 where we start preaching a new gospel or somehow the gospel of Jesus needs upgrading.
Rather, I’m suggesting that the way we run church or outreach events may need to be revolutionized, hence Churching 2.0. What was a norm back in the 1980s or even 1880s may not be appropriate now. We need to invent new ways of running church meetings or outreach events. In Kodak, half of their business lines nowadays did not even exist 4-5 years ago. The factors that influence Churching 2.0 include new technology, and shift in demographic makeup. One example is to increase awareness or exposure using Facebook through posting events, updating status, etc. Another is to post Christian articles in blogs, participate in discussions on contemporary issues, etc. One habit that I am starting is to twit on my daily Bible reading … yep on Twitter and perhaps synchronize it with my Facebook status.
I would love to hear more of what other people think about revolutionizing the way we do church.
In a recent Time magazine (Feb’09), I came across an interesting article suggesting that beliefs in a religion improve health.
Here are some summaries.
Ironically, recently in the UK, a nurse faced disciplinary action and possible unemployment for offering a prayer to a patient. The patient was not offended but the incident was reported and the nurse was suspended. She was later reinstated following some legal actions. Read the news here. Well, should the medical board have educated themselves with the latest health studies, they would have appreciated her above-and-beyond-call-of-duty commitment!
