Author As I travel I’ve wanted the ability to post blog updates without having to lug out my laptop, connect to the internet etc.. I knew that I could use the email to blog function built into wordpress. Then all I’d need to do is send an email from my blackberry.
However I’m heading out on a mission trip this week with 27 people from our church and I wanted to allow certain people to post entries without all the baloney of the laptops, internet, etc.. The built-in wordpress plugin limited me to just one user, and I wanted to have multiple users post to the blog since there are a bunch of us going on this trip. I also wanted to insure that not just anyone could post incase somehow the posting email address got spammed.
I came across the Postie Plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postie/
There are many features this plugin offers.. like the ability to add images to posts as well as video.
But the best feature was the limiting of posting by email addresses.. this would cover the spammers as well as only allowing certain people to post..
The 1st test was successful… and now I’m testing the ability to add images, links and filtering out email footers

As the Dover FreeCycle group owner I thought i would share some great news about our site…
Today is the 5 year anniversary of Dover, NH FreeCycle, with over 3700 members serving the seacoast community and over 27,000r 27,000

Izbrano poglavje ne obstaja! Štetje svetopisemskih vrstic se začne z 1! Vrstica 0 ne obstaja!
WP-Bible plugin messages posted to date!
I couldn’t have imagined our small group of Dover residents would have evolved into the Freecycle it is today. Since it’s inception the FreeCycle Network has spread to over 85 countries, where there are thousands of local groups representing millions of members and Dover’s group is a part of keeping over 500 tons a day out of landfills! If you haven’t taken the time to read the history jump on over to the main FreeCycle site and have a read.
For you statisticians out there here are a few numbers for you.
Messages to date: 27,563

2006: 645

These are some awesome numbers! You all ROCK! If you didn’t realize this yet all messages, members and the like are moderated by only 2 volunteers besides myself, a though job for such a large amount of work given we all have jobs, lives and other pastimes. So remember to thank your moderators by emailing them FreecycleDoverNH-owner@yahoogroups.com
So Dover FreeCycle members I challenge you to RAID YOUR GARAGE, BASEMENT, ATTIC, whatever you can find to pass along to others and KEEP STUFF OUT OF LANDFILLS.
Keep Up the Good work and Thank you for using FreecycleDoverNH Freecycle.
will you stand and fight with us?
today the enemy of God is at work in my life. he is coming at me in all directions. The anguish, pain and angst I feel swelling inside me is causing me to doubt, fear and question everything I do. I understand that these fears are from him and his ability to twist the truth in my feeble mind. Though as I struggle through these times I know that my God is stronger than he.. for the power of the Holy Spirit dwells within me, as God promised sinners like me. His full armor will protect me when I stand a fight against the devils schemes! It is not my flesh that hurts but my soul he tries to overtake.. BUT! God’s belt of truth will help me to stand firm and rise up against the enemy. The shield of faith, though heavy to bear will protect me from the from the evil one and I will stand strong and pray in the face of my rulers with the sword of the Spirit as the word of God pours out in prayer. As I too am an ambassador in chains, pray that I may continue to run to prayer first so that I can declare the word of god fearlessly.
from Ephesians 6:10-20
I’m sure you’ve read 100’s of blog posts about dogs and how they are always by your side, loving, faithful, etc. I know I have. But what struck me the other day was just how much faith my dogs have in me.
You see each morning when I get up my dogs are right beside me, following me around the house, never leaving my side, under foot. Sometimes it a bit annoying, but for the most part it’s cute… well as cute as a 120 lab taking up the whole doorway when you’re trying to get out…Seriously though, as pet owns our dogs rely on us for everything; food, shelter, protection, everything and in return they love us unconditionally. They don’t ask for much except more food, potty breaks and love/companionship.
When I compare my dog’s commitment to following me verses how I follow God there is NO comparison… I fall WAY short..
No matter how many times my dogs make me angry and I have to discipline/yell at them, within seconds they are back following, wagging their tail wanting to play..willing to submit, follow, love and serve…
It’s so difficult to submit, follow, love and serve as God wants us to do. But yet every time we fall up; God is always there loving, caring and providing for us…
Why is it so hard to just submit, pick up our cross and follow God; wag our tail and love God as he loves us.… Sometime I just wish I could have the faith like my dogs..
well the new much awaited version of wordpress os out.. and now running on my site 
the adim interface is very different and added a much better use of space within the layout..
there is a good viedo demo here http://tinyurl.com/55df72 http://ff.im/gGiq of the new feauters and such…
now i just have to be better at posting more often…
So today was a day of multi-tasking.. 15 laptops, 7 work stations 4 servers and a partridge in a pear tree!I wonder most days how I make it through with all the work that needs to be done… I was able to have some help by Erika…. it was good because I was listening to my bible 
study.. “Don’t waste your life, by John Piper”. She was asking questions and seams intrigued with the “bible study” concept.. though I’m not real good with evangelizing the talk was good and I hope that it leads to more “God talk”….
ok so after almost a year after NOT posting to my blog I’ve decided to change my ways.. and post more often.. although I loved my home page showing “mission accomplished” from my Buras, LA trip with the UNH students…I need to MOVE ON!!! so I hope to being posting more about my IT/Church/Spiritual adventures…..like the biggest loser contest over at Jason’s site
What a beautiful world we live in…
A few hours driving around South Lake Tahoe, CA.
After driving around for the day in sunny CA and taking some great photos of the world our God has created, I’ve realized that there is so much in the world what many don’t get the chance to experience. I’m so blessed to have the opportunity to see so many parts of the country…These are a few photos from my day trip…
Yes this is Elevation 7368 FT…click the photo to see the elevation
See the rest on my Flickr Set
I’ve added a few new pages to the top nav of this site. They are links to various resources that I will be adding to as time goes on.
I hope to get the flickr plugin working soon so you can see/comment on my photos….
