Hackin the AppleTV

Last night I spent about an hour following the instructions laid out on this site…and I am sooo happy with it!! It was really easy to grab the programs and mostly idiot proof to put it all on the usb drive. After that it was butter!

Boxee.tv is incredible the way they take all the streams in so many different places and centralizes them.

A Fight worth Figithing…

Posted by brandon On March - 20 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

I don’t like to immediately chalk up hardships or trials to spiritual warfare; however, I strongly believe that there is spiritual warfare going on around us everyday. Funny enough, if I have gone through a period of relative peace and spiritual tranquility, chances are that I am in too comfortable position. My peace is steady on Him, but when life around me is in totally chaos and I feel the spiritual clashing above and below, I have to remind myself that there is a reason. Spiritual warfare only exists when there is something worth fighting over! The object or reason may vary but the motivation is always the same: Satan is trying to keep us from Christ and His will for our lives. And I take encouragement that he ultimately will fail.

Error Uploading files to Wordpress

Posted by brandon On March - 19 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

I kept getting an error that either said “The uploaded file could not be moved to…” or “Couldn’t write file:”

I tried several different ’solutions’ but most of them had to do with using chmod commands and allow some serious security risks (changing your gut files to be able to be written by anyone).

But the simplest answer was the one that worked! I just deleted the upload folder (don’t forget to back it up first!!). The default folder is directory/wordpress/wp-content/uploads. Once I deleted the uploads file, I created a new one and set the permissions to 757)

Hope this helps!

However, I really like the thought, design, production quality, and ideology behind this site. Check out the “Robert” video. I love the shots and look; but the story is even better.

“Dangerous” Topic?

dangerouscallingI came across this movie site for “Dangerous Calling“. It is billed as a “christian thriller”. Here is the storyline:

A suspense thriller set in the world of small town church politics, Dangerous Calling follows the story of Pastor Evan Burke and his wife Nora as they assume leadership of First Baptist Willit Springs after the mysterious death of the previous pastor.

Eager to get to know the new pastor, Miss Pat, the church’s controlling widow-woman, invites Evan and Nora to stay with her while she has the parsonage renovated. Left alone at Miss Pat’s beautiful home in the mountains of North Georgia, Nora begins to suspect that Miss Pat’s extremely sheltered adult son, Elijah, may have had something to do with the previous pastor’s death.

Although the story involves Christian characters, Dangerous Calling is not your typical church film. Owing more to Psycho and Misery than Left Behind, Dangerous Calling is sure to keep you on the edge of the pew. In this church the politics can be deadly.

I like the fact that this film isn’t afraid to venture into a non-typical genre for christian media. I haven’t seen it but I would love to…the production quality looks pretty good especially for a lower budget film. If you have seen this movie, let me know what you think.

The difference between Christians and Christianity

Posted by brandon On March - 12 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

I heard a statistic in one of our staff meetings from a speaker: 77% of Americans believe that Christianity is more about organized religion than about loving people. Sadly, I wasn’t as disturbed or shocked as i should have initially been. And yet at the same time, over 66% of people are interested in finding out more about spirituality and are open to the Bible; but none of them would go to a church. The speakers point was taht we need to get out and cultivate those one on one relationships.
After thinking about it for a while, I realized how sad it was that I had not been more appalled by the first statistic. I have always felt like my face was based on a relationship and not a religion. But when an unsaved person hears that I am a Christian, he will associate that with going to church and not a personal relationship with Christ; that is UNLESS he sees it lived out daily. This impressed even more upon me that nothing is more important than my personal witness. Working at church means squat if I don’t live out the difference that Christ has made and continues to make in my life every day.
