My new MT blog is now up and running.

Current blog here: jimhwilliams.com

ok it's not working 100% and I don't know what to do to make it work.

I have Movable Type installed and it is working 100%. This is a very good day. The day I move from blogger to MT. And I am going to Six Flags.

Well, I have movable type installed on my new host but I am having problems. I don't know what to do?

1. What brand of toothpaste do you use?
Colegate
2. What brand of toilet paper do you prefer?
Scotts
3. What brand(s) of shoes do you wear?
Sketchers, Nike
4. What brand of soda do you drink?
Dr Pepper
5. What brand of gum do you chew?
The good kind.

It never fails. Everytime my youth group plains to go to Six Flags it rains. There are some bad storms coming and they are heading towards Dallas. Last time this happened it took us 3 months to finally get to Six Flags. I don't think we are going this Saturday.

I'm not getting a dam video card. I'm not in a good mood. life sucks right now. If you want make a small donation and help me get a video card. Click on the paypal button. Thanks.

You know what makes me mad? Microsoft. They finally make software for the xbox that allows you to transfer your music and pictures to it and now I have learned that you will need xbox live for it to work.

I am not going to buy the Tview Gold. I have decided to get an ATI Radeon 7000 64MB with TV-Out on it. I have a 16 MB ATI Rage 128 Pro. So, this will be a good upgrade.

Well, looks like things have turned around. The pastor will be driving the bus to Six Flags if are youth pastors husband does not get better. I hope he does get better though. I might be going to Six Flags on the 24th after all.

I don't care about seeing the new Matrix movie. I want the Star Trek Nemesis DVD instead.

I just don't believe it. Microsoft shaves price on the Xbox .

Warning, the next post is to let me blow off stem.

It is a good chance that the youth won't be going to Six Flags on May 24th. Why? Because the pastor is the only one that knows how to drive the bus. I should have never voted to get that [deleted] bus. We need a 15-passenger van. The one that we had died. The youth need a 15-passenger van. I just don't understand why things are like this. When Jesse and Crista were youth pastors here we went before the church and told them why we needed a van and we got one. Yes it was used, but we got one. If they wanted they could get another good used van.

I got a Tview Gold today. I plan to use it for youth to display the songs and annoucements on the projector.

Just got back from seeing the X2 movie. It was cool.

The youth are having a car wash today and I don't feel good. But, I want to help out. So I am going. I am driving myself crazy on how to get a new computer. I really need a new one.

I'm not feeling good.

I actually saw christian bands in Apple's new music commercial. The ones that I saw are DC Talk and Jump5. I hope that Apple releases a itunes for Windows users. I just hope it is free. But, it probably won't be for us Windows users. And, it is going to have to be in mp3 format and not acc. And it is funny. I really like the new ipods. But, Creative just released a 60 GB nomad zen. And they are selling it $100 dollars less then Apples 30 GB ipod.

The youth convention was a blast. We all had a good time.

Well, tomorrow my youth group and I are going to Austin for a youth convention. It should be two days of fun and fellowship.

I got my Knoppix 3.2 linux cd in the mail today. It is actually the second one. The first got destroyed in the mail and I had to ask for another one. I like it. It is very easy to use. Just pop it in the cd tray and your off. But I can't figure out how to get my modem and internet to work with it. I wish I still had my laptop or my other desktop computer. I hear that it runs pretty good on the hard drive. Another thing I don't like is that it does not save any of the settings that you change. They go back to default. But, it is running from the cd.

Today there was a fire at one of the High Schools. It destroyed part of the ag. building. No one was hurt. It started before school began. They don't know what caused it yet.

Saturday I finally got to go to the Zoo. It was a fun day. I took over 8 Megs of pictures. That is 122 of them. I am going to get a 64 MB smart media card. They are really cheap now.

I have decided that I am going to go with Ezoshosting.com for my web host. I am also going to switch ISPs. I am going to use DCTexas.net. With all that It will be under $20.00 dollars a month. I am off now to see about getting a friend his own domain name now. I am also going to register a domain name for my youth groups website.

Today the youth are having another BBQ fundraiser for the youth convention that is coming up. It should be very uneventful. Update: It went well and it was fun.

I want to say I will miss seeing Chris Pirillo on Call For Help. I enjoyed the way you hosted the show. I don't like what has happened. This is a extremely bad move that TechTV has made. I must say that I have lost interested in the network now. They don't know or must have forgotton what the word Tech means in TV. Chris I wish you and Gretchen the best. I hope you can make lockergnome even better than it is already. That's all.

I'm in the public library using the internet. They way this library is run is not good. I'll tell more later.

Well my youth groups blog was not hacked after all. Something was messed up with blogger.com. When I went to post something on my blog it would show up on someone elses blog. The only reason I now this is because my templete had changed. I have deleted that blog and started a new one. I am getting closer to getting movable type.

Someone has hacked my blog for my youth groups website. I can't log into blogger.com.

Went to Tyler today. I finally found the zoo. When I got there it was closing. I was upset. But at least I know where it is now. I got a shirt at JcPenneys with the free candy coupon they were handing out. Well, I just got down digitalizing my Star Trek First Contact. It came out perfect.

I guess I am going to have to find a new layout for my website. This one does not work with Mozilla or Opera.

Blogging for a better view
If you've never checked out a Web log, or "blog" for short, now may be a good time. Think of blogs as an online journal -- one that is often incredibly vivid.

Game Boy's new look
Nintendo dominates the mobile gaming market with its series of Game Boy handheld gaming consoles. However, gamers have raised issues over the gadgets' ability to properly illuminate the screen. Nintendo may have an answer for the critics with its Game Boy Advance SP. The model goes on sale this month, so you will be able to decide for yourself.

Tonight I finally got to hook up my computer to the projector. It worked great. I managed to get the songs that we sing into a powerpoint presentation. He worked ok but it was not great. I guess I used the wrong font. It looked pixeladed. But we played the short movie that we made during the youth lock in and it looked good. Pictures looked good on it too.

Microsoft Internally Corrects XP SP1 Slowdown

Windows XP Service Pack 1 brought about many fixes for Microsoft's flagship operating system, but a change to the memory management system caused applications on some machines to run much slower.

Microsoft recently acknowledged the problem and privately issued a hotfix, but a patch has not yet publicly appeared on Windows Update or Microsoft's Download Center.

Video gamers play on despite war

Whether in war or peace, video games involving blazing guns and bloody conflict are as popular as ever in the United States, with more than six new war games set to hit the shops in the coming weeks.

I did not make it to Tyler today. And I am not in a very good mood.

I'm going to Tyler today. Going shopping at Best Buy, Circuit City, and alot of other places. I would go see my friend but he moved and his current location is top secret. I don't even think the goverment knows. Just kidding. I need a new hard drive for my computer. A 40 GB should do just fine.

We are at war! I am not worried. I want a canon ZR40.

I'm sick. I have a sore throat and stuffy head.

I want a Canon ZR40

Well, everything I said on March 14th does not look like it is going to happen. I can't stand it when people have technology at their hands and they don't use it.

Well, It is 4:25 here and we just got done shooting the crazy movie that my youth group was doing. It was a murder movie. This girl was walking outside and she gets murdered. Then we did a scene where we have the eyewitnesses come in and tell what they know. Then we took pictures with my digital camera of the 4 guys that we thought that did the murder. We hooked up my camera to the small TV and off camera I switched through them. It was cool. Then I took a picture of the girl that got murdered. We took the overhead projector and held it just off camera so the light would be on her face. She was laying on the table like she was dead. I took a picture of her with my flash. It looked like she was stone white on the TV. I have to say on the small TV it looked like she was dead. It was good. Then I created a graphic with the letters FBI and I went to the FBI's website and got their seal and put that on the wallpaper that I made. It looked real. And we had a gun that looked real. Yes, it was crazy and at times messed up. It took 5 hours and it only was a 2-minute film. But, at the end I told the guys to do what ever they wanted to the murderer and it was awesome. I will have some of the pictures up later.

You can see from the webcam that I am not home. I am at my church. The youth is having a lock-in. And I brought my computer over again. The pastor is going to help me hook it up to the projector. We might start using it in youth to display the songs and announcements up on the wall. I found a program that is like PowerPoint. It is Open Office. I don't need anything great. It does the job. I hope that it works. I would like to start using it in youth. I just wish that I did not get rid of my laptop.

I took my computer to youth group tonight. That is why the webcam image is in a different place. That is my youth pastor.

I went into AllTel at Walmart to see if the Motorola T720 would work in my area and she said it would. I did not think it would work. I am going to look into getting one now.

Now the fun begins. I am going to try to find a reasonable web host and start playing around with movable type.

I emailed EV Williams the former owner of blogger.com to get him to look into why my account has not been canceled yet. He took care of it. Thank you very much to EV and Jason.

I have canceled my blogspot plus account. A banner should be returning to the top. And my pictures will be deleted. I hope I don't loose my blog, but if I do then it is ok. I have decided to get a web host and use movable type. Should be fun to learn.

Wow yesterdays Nascar was wild. Ryan Newman escaped injury in a spectacular airborne wreck just over a quarter of the way through the Daytona 500. He walked away unhurt in the spectacular wreck.

I have been looking at getting a light rack at rackhost. I will get alot more webspace than I get from the free tripod account that I have had since 1998. I want to use movable type for my blog. Google has just bought blogger. I don't think anything good will come from this. I did have the free blogger account but I upgraded to the blog*spot100 account. It is $10.00 a month. So will the rackhost and the MT will be free. That is if I can figure it out.

It is snowing! I don't believe it either.

Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. James 4:14 Let's not forget these real Heros.

I live in the town where all this is happening. I saw some wreckage. There were police, fire trucks, and news people all over the place. My mother heard the "Big Bang" and it shook our house. I feel terrible right now. I was very young but was in school when the challenger blew up. We were watching it live on TV. I can't believe this has happened again. I don't know what else to say...sorry....

I'm so sad right now. I live in one of the towns where this is happening. I can't believe this has happened. I just don't know what else to say.............

Well, Blogger just came back online. It was out for 3 days. I could not publish anything. Today the youth had their BBQ fundraiser. It was so cold outside. But we sold alot and did very well.

I wonder why someone from the Dallas County Community College District is going to my website? I would love to know how they got to my website. Where did they find it at? Who told them? And a company or place called Road Runner has been on my website. I just wonder who this people are. The other day I had someone from the Netherlands on my site. And the United Kingdom.

I finally got Microsoft Plus Digital Media Editon. I really like it. The photo story software is great. It is very simple to use. It has a very clean interface. I mgiht even use the alarm clock seeing that I don't have one. The Sync & Go software is not all that great though.

Apple Switcher Star Survives Helicopter Crash (With Pics) It is a small world.

More pictures of the crash.

I got my Lexar CF & SM USB Reader today. I don't know why I did not get one of these earlier. Transfering my digital pictures off of the smart media card is much faster. Also much faster for my Compact flash card for video and mp3s. So, this was a good purchase.

I tried to buy Microsoft's new Plus Digital Media Edition software today and could not because their payment system is all messed up. I have a coupon for 25% off the regular price. I sure would like to use it but it does not look like it is going to happen.

I ordered a Lexar Media Compact Flash & Smart Media USB Reader from TigerDirect.com. I am hoping that it will make it easier to transfer digital video and pictures from my pocket pc and digital camera.

I canceled my Netflix account today. I find it funny that they have the creator of netflix on todays The Screen Savers. Maybe I will sign up again later on.

I decided to put up a new layout. I think it is simple and clean. I don't know if I am going to put the zonkboard back up. Nothing was happing with it.

We are keeping the pastors dog while they are gone on a vacation. The small black and white dog is theirs. His name is Max. My dog is Gretchen.

I got a new beta fish. I need a name for him.

I just upgraded my blogger account to the BlogSpot Plus100. Now I can have more control over my blog and the way it looks. So, some changes are coming.

A eulogy for my fish Ralph

First off, let me offer you my condolences for ralph. He was a fish dear to us all, from the Honor Academy to your house and now, to the great fish bowl in the sky. Can Ralph be replaced??? One would argue yes, it's just a fish. But narry do I think this is true. For not only was ralph a fish but also a head and gills for our memories with him. Ahhh, those were the good times, but all things good must come to an end. Ralph, if you can here us (and I think you can) let us lift our heads to the sky and not shed a tear, but crack a smile. It is a far better place that you be than where you have been. So fare the well in your jouney across time and space and into the other place that you reside in. So long Ralph so long.

Happy New Year!!!
