Video: That's My King

That's My King!

This was shown before the Easter sermon at church this weekend. It is an audio clip of S M Lockridge describing Jesus Christ - I don't think I've ever heard it put better.

There are dozens of video's put to Lockridge's audio, in fact, there is a blog dedicated to it. Visit http://thatsmyking.wordpress.com/ for more wonderful interpretations of this inspiring sermon.

A resume is so yesterday

Here is a paradox. The New York Times presents a Hiring Manager's Dream resume. Then Seth Godin tells us if you have a resume, you probably aren't "remarkable, amazing or just plain spectacular." In fact, Seth says in general "Great people shouldn't have a resume."

How to set your Temp & TMP folder locations in XP

OK setting my Temp and TMP folder locations seemed so easy once I dig around the web and found out how.

But it wasn't easy to find, so I am re-posting the steps here for anyone who needs it. Because, sometimes you want an easy way to find and clear/clean/erase/view your temp files.

Create a TEMP folder on aother drive/partition.
Control Panel>System>Advanced>Environment Variables
Double-click TEMP and set it.
Double-click TMP and set it.
Press Apply and OK.

 

This, of course, is not the same as Temporary Internet Files, which you can manage very easilty within Internet Explorer (icky) for those who still use it. To change this location:

Create another Temporary Internet Files folder on aother drive/partition.
In IE, Go to Tools>Internet Options
General Tab>Temporary Internet Files (middle section)>Settings
Move Folder
OK
Apply
OK
Restart IE

How To Make Blogger Use Your Own Domain Name

This is a fairly in-depth "How To" but very useful if you don't have a hosted website but want your own "dot com." I've only clipped a bit of it, best bet is to visit the site for all the info.

Twitter Widget for your Blog

Seriously. Why does Twitter makes it SO HARD to find this widget on their site?!?

Because Twitter calls it a "Badge" when everyone else in the world calls it a "Widget."

Whateva.

Anyway, if you have a blog where you can insert sidebar widgets (MySpace, Vox, Movable Type, WordPress, TypePad), then you can use this to show your readers what you are doing on Twitter.

Start here, and then follow the directions - easy as cookie dough! It looks like this, you can adjust the thickness and tall-ness. :)

twitter

Other such widgets can be found here.

If you'd like to have your Blog posts be sent to Twitter (like I do), use Twitterfeed.

You can also go the other way, and have all your Twitters sent to your blog (like Kymmie does). For that you'd use LoudTwitter. I don't recommend doing both, then you get caught in an endless loop.

Also, I really like "Snitter" - a windows desktop program that follows your Twitters. More can be found here.

And for Firefox I am switching between Twitbin and Tweetbar. Love how it sits in the sidebar.

Oh yeah, if you want to follow me on Twitter, just go here: http://twitter.com/DarrenTooCool

Have you put on the overalls lately?
