I don’t really know what your problem could be, but I’ve never done anything in Rails 3 before. I would suspect that as being the general problem. Sorry it doesn’t work.

Found this Railscast:

Comment on There are too many things to keep track of by Daniel

Hmmm… That’s very interesting. I can’t do the same thing exactly because I work a 9-5 job (actually 11-7), but that combined with a thought from BBC that each day contains three modules (morning, afternoon and evening) making for a 24-module week, it could work for me.

The difference between this and, say, Google Calendar is that GCal gives me too much freedom. I can pick how long pre-scheduled events are going to be, but in reality I almost never know how long the events should be. This way I’m forced to make each event a third of my day, which is not likely to underestimate. I’ll give that some serious thought.

I mentioned other problems in this post, though, like thoughts coming too quickly and not having a good system for taking them down in time. Still have to solve those problems.

hey daniel,
i, too, am working on such a system. since becoming youth director, i can set my own hours, and do pretty much what i feel like for now, as long as i get my 20 hours in for the church. so i’m starting to implement something i learned from driscoll: the idea that each day is a bucket, and i can fill it with only so much stuff, and having a day a week for specific things. so i’m trying to have a day for sabbath, a day for going through old things/writing down thoughts/etc., a day for lesson prep for the yg, a day for meetings, and a day for catch-up (reading blogs, doing laundry, general maintenance stuff), which leaves two days for whatever life throws my way.

that helps me keep sane with a lot of things to do. if i don’t get something done on the day i’ve assigned, i could use part of the two spare days, or it’ll have to wait for next week. and then i only use that day for that purpose (no meetings on lesson prep day, no catch-up on sabbath day, etc.). and if i get a thought or a need for a non-day subject, i write it down, or put it in an email to myself, or something, and get back to it on the proper day.

i’m still working this out, but it seems like a good plan, and apparently a lot of leaders and successful dudes do stuff like that. i’ll try to find the rest of my notes from driscoll’s “don’t burn out” ministry ideas and send them to you.

I’m not sure I think this thing is spiritual for me. I felt like I was just ranting about how my systems don’t work and I get lost in even a little bit of chaos. I have the spiritual problem too, though.

What’d you mean when you said, “Adam is next…”? Next for what?

I’ve been waiting for this.

Adam is next. And maybe we can Albert in on this too.

I can’t say that I have a solution to this. Wish I did. But I can definitely relate to what you’re feeling. The way we lose sight of things is different. Something pressing or exciting or painful seems to override what was whereas with me, a passivity blooms and brings forth a forgetfulness. In the end, we both are stressed and at points of despair.

I can’t say that I’ve grown substantially in this, but one theme that has grown is how much a dependence on God saturates everything. This memory problem that we exhibit is no different. God is sovereign over our thoughts and if we wish to produce this fruit in our lives, we must first remember that it is He who produces it and not some ability or gadget. And what this knowledge should point us to is prayer. These things come from God, so we seek them there. We pray earnestly first and foremost. Experience tells me that the rest follows.

What do you think?

Comment on LAMP server and UserDir by Daniel

Daniel — Mon, 31 May 2010 17:53:44 +0000

I’m playing with WordPress for CCFL and Crusade, and I needed a web server running on my laptop. This does the trick in Ubuntu, and also serves up pages from a convenient directory and at a convenient address. :)
LAMP stands for “Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.”
The first line installs everything in [L]AMP, the second line enables the UserDir module which does the cool directory and address thing, and the third line restarts Apache (the server) so my changes will take effect.
