Hi there I have been playing around with in game and profiler setting on my G27 have found for me the in game set at 792 and the profiler set at 540 degrees seems to work for me :) what do you think have you guys mucked around with them at all:(

Couldn't leave a comment on the site, so I'll leave it here... I like the chiasm. I guess Nabal is a Saul-type figure (moody). So we see the conclusion to the story in the middle of the story. Nabal dead, David gets his wife. Saul ends up dead, David gets his daughter. And God's control is emphasised (Nabal suddenly dying) in contrast to David's activism in the surrounding passages - God is in control of the fate of his hero-king. Probably lots more that could be said, but is that on the right lines?

Interesting how this columnist proposes an objective standard of 'goodness'. He basically implies that if people in Britain lived in Russia we wouldn't be 'moderately good' - do you think that's true?
- Samuel Bostock
thanks. Its a beautiful day in the neighborhood :)

I tried to reply through Google chat - but it didn’t work. Guess some bugs still need to be worked out. Nice but strange to post over 140 characters.

Welcome! This is the new cool kids table in the social media cafeteria, apparently.
- Mark Traphagen
But it’s not as social I find. It works well if someone posts an interesting link, because comments are threaded. But for “I just ate a sandwich” stuff - doesn’t work.
- Christine Dattilo
yeah, seems halfway between Twitter and deli.cio.us
- John Owen Butler
More del.cio.us with comments. Also like a blog with the comments more important then the original post. I watch FF to learn - usually don’t engage unless I can advance the conversation - no just chiming in, like I am now:)
- Christine Dattilo
Like Larry, I rarely use FF, because most of my favourite Christian tweeters don't seem to be on here yet. If they were I would probably use it a lot.
- Samuel Bostock
I think I looked into it around that time and decided against it. I like identi.ca, but it is not well utilized by my Twitter friends.

This is a really core critique of our culture. We need to work so hard to avoid this in Bible studies: "We aren’t used to thinking deliberately, meditatively about texts. So preachers come to the text each week with general ideas about what the Bible says and then once they find those same ideas again, they preach on the same thing again. We are not learning, growing, or being changed by the text. Preachers are simply coming to have their banal assumptions and cliche-level understanding confirmed for yet another week."

"Google (GOOG) ratcheted-up the amount of ads it shows during Q4 to 4.01 per keyword, up from 2.544 in Q3 -- a 57% increase."
- Bret Taylor
from Bookmarklet
That's quite the increase, which we'd assume is an effort to meet expectations. If the trend continues, they will have to ask America to turn our monitors vertical.
- Louis Gray
This is the affects of Google's revenue dial. When revenues are down, Google just serves more ads.
- Christian Anderson
I've been dismissed every time I've said it... but Google will be under ever increasing pressure to meet their wallstreet numbers. Instead of a skunkworks-like company we're going to see one much more laser focused on what makes money... ads.
- mikepk
It's the tyranny of serving two masters. I think we're just *starting* to see the decline. We're at the peak of the golden age of free...
- mikepk
is this due to showing more ads on keywords that already carried ads, or on keywords that didn't previously carry ads?
- Samuel Bostock
If they had shown more years of data, we'd be able to tell if it's a Christmas shopping thing. Perhaps people are shopping more, and clicking on ads more, which should cause Google to disable fewer ads.

I really like the way MacArthur explained the gospel - anti-propserity gospel - in these videos. In the second, I would personally likely have offered some balance and emphasised some of the benefits of following Christ, but MacArthur just bangs his central point home harder. St H should get some palm trees though...
- Samuel Bostock
I am wondering if there is a way to back up or export my content from my FriendFeed room into a document with all my comments and links? Is that possible (e.g. wiki SocialText allows back up into pdf/word etc formats
I believe web services should allow importing and exporting. But then again, there should be common standards.
- vimoh
I pour a lot of content into FF... it has largely replaced Delicious for me even though they're not exactly the same service. I would appreciate the peace of mind in being able to archive my personal stream.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I agree to exporting. Friendfeed, I think, won't hold posts for ever, so we have to archive ourselves.
- Alexandros Georgiadis
You might be able to use the email function to do this.
