File Type Associations and Scripts [cmd.exe]

If you’re like me, you’re editing scripts more often than you’re using them. So it only makes sense to make the default program for a file type an editor rather than an executer. But while doing this, you may run into a little problem if you’re running them from Window’s Command Prompt. Instead of typing a quick command like script do-stuff, you have to type executer *absolute file ref* do-stuff. (more…)

From the initial sin that causes the fall of man comes a chain of events that show the effect sin has on us and the very world itself.

These chapters of Genesis show the problem of sin and eventually lead to the solution of redemption. (more…)

Ancient Christian Wisdom

I’ve just recently finished writing an essay for my Ancient History subject at uni, on Ignatius of Antioch. Here’s a quick intro to Ignatius:

Ignatius was a very early Christian bishop of the church in Antioch, Syria. By “very early” I’m talking around 100 AD! We learn about Ignatius through a number of letters he wrote to churches in the area of Asia minor (modern day Turkey). These letters were sent while he was under arrest and being transported to Rome, most likely to be executed. (more…)
