UN’S FUn, but now we’re done. I thought about leaving personal messages to folks. Even surfed back through some very old posts and saw some comments last night that I wanted to recycle just to say “Love” or “Hugs” or, in not a few cases, “Bite me”. Some of you say things online that I’m [...]

Y SOME STANDARDS I’ve fallen off in recent years: I’ve stopped ranting about “modernists” and “heretics” and, even, managed to offend some of my anti-modernist, anti-heretical friends. By other standards – my own internal meter, my confessor, etc – I’ve managed to make peace with a few people that used to really dislike me. I’ve [...]

N 15 January 2010, this blog will hit a bit of a milestone: as far as electronic journals go – including an email newsletter from the pre-web days – this project will be 15 years old. I think I need to take a bit of time off. In fact, I really want to. So, following [...]

OMEPLACE In the process of transition from the older designs to this one, I left out the option to “subscribe to comments.” Sorry about that! It should be available now, making it easier for you to follow along by receiving later comments in your email.

KILEY DOKILEY! The new theme is done. It’s a serious tweak of the Atahualpa theme – a rather fabulous theme with a metric tonne of options available for the user to set. Those of you familiar with my old blog design, I’ve sought to recreate as much of it as I like (leaving out some [...]

Hey folks – we’re having a bit of a spam attack just now – 7-10 spam attempts every minute. My anti-spam software has only missed 3 but those three got mailed out to everyone. Sorry! So I’ve turned on moderation for any comment that has any links in it. I’ll keep it this tight for [...]

ARX, with all its various predecessors (including the E-zine) will be 14 years old on the 23rd. Believe it or not. I have access to well over 9,000 posts (and that’s not accounting for a few that are missing) including some that reach back to 1997, several hundred thousand page view (not yet a million, [...]

HE COMMENTS here at Sarx have been hosted by the IntenseDebate plugin for about a month now. Fr Ernesto has noted his blog has slowed down (load time) as a result. I’ve not had that experience. But I have noticed a decline in comments. Why is that? Holidays? I’m boring? Can’t use comments? Don’t want [...]

I’ll be playing with the theme for a little while. Pardon any grossness. Specifics I’m testing out a new comment service called IntenseDebate. This is owned by the same folks who own WordPress. It makes each blog, potentially, a community site. You don’t have to register with them in order to comment. I’ve specifically made [...]

HERE IS one last post brewing in the series on The Roots of Christian Mysticism: the last section and any “final thoughts”. I’ve been sketching it out in my head. But I’ve not got anything on paper yet. Sorry it’s late. I’m guessing I’ll be done with it by tomorrow night.
