Art and Spam

Dan has some great reflections on visual art within Christianity. Here’s a snippet:

All of that being said, Best argues that artifacts should be part of the christian life, not as a way of explaining the gospel, but as offerings of worship to the creator God. I draw a picture as an expression of the creativity God has given me, and people can see his creative nature through my work. He gets glory from art. Artifacts are offerings, not tracts.

The virus scanner that came with my computer 18 months ago, ran out over the last few days. I’ve started using the free scanner avast again. It’s very good if you need a sweet freebie!

My ccec address has been getting 30+ spam emails per day. This has been annoying! I found a free spam killer this morning. It’s called spamfighter and it syncs in well with Outlook. It works!! I was away from my computer this arvo for about 4 hours and the filter put all the junk in the spam folder and all the legit things in my inbox. Giddy up.

  3. *prods rest of article* There, I think.

    And one thing I’ve noticed since I started using Linux (!) is that you have a lot less problems with malware and spyware and virus :)

  4. hey joel – did you get some good pics??

    hey dan – i agree with nick

    hey nick – you’ve been commenting on my blog a lot during your hsc study time!!!
    i haven’t really had problems with malware or spyware (don’t really know what they are!!) or viruses.

  5. I know… I like to procrastinate! :P

    In any case, its only English paper 1 this week, where you make up 90% of stuff. I’ve got it covered.

    Oh, and commenting helps keep me sane :)

  6. glad you’re staying sane.

    here’s a challenge for you… mention either “Dave Miers’ blog” or the phrase “eternal weight of glory” in your English paper and i will give you 3 warm fuzzies.

    peaceout

  8. dan is the sensible one
    dave is the crazy one

    NICK
    LISTEN TO DAN
    DON’T DO WHAT I SAID
    (though you should do what i’m saying now…)

  9. update on the spam.
    i just open my email for the day.

    report:

    3 new emails in INBOX – all legit
    50 emails in spamkiller – only 1 shouldn’t have…

    giddy up!!!

  12. lol, I don’t know about Dave Mier’s blog, but I will put eternal weight of glory in.

    It shouldn’t be that hard :P

    And Dan, you’re such a good judge of character!

  14. funny stuff.

    here is a comment that nick wrote on my facebook page on the how he go it in:

    lol it was like, there was this guy talking about how their leader was burdened by the eternal weight of glory thrust upon him by the history and culture of the kingdom over which he reigned, or something. Taken completely out of its biblical context :P
