Updates and other things

So over the evening I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to WordPress 2.0 and spent the time needed to update all the various plugins I’m using and all that jazz. This includes updating to the newest version of K2 theme as well. Also going to start checking out Technorati and FeedBurner and a few other places for feed aggregation goodness.

So Monday I am on campus from 10AM till 4PM
On Tuesday from 8:30AM till 3:30PM
Wednesday from 8AM till 4PM
Thursday from 12:30PM till 5PM
And Friday from 10AM till 4PM

Shit, that is two days in a row I have to wake up at 6:30AM to get to class on time probably I suspect. This will also mean any work I do on the side consulting has to get shoved into weekends if it needs any kind of large block of time unless its something that I can do telecommuting from campus.

Think you’re religous? You got nothing on this woman.

Basically the two families involved couldn’t have been more polar opposites short of the other family worshiping old style Roman gods and doing animal sacrifices. The cajun family from Louisiana is basically dominated by a Margaret, their Christian Jesus worshipping mother who wants things her way, always. She claims that she is “easy going and fun”. On the other family you have a group who are unitarians and based on what I saw did very little to try and “force” chakras, astrology, psychics and other new ageish types of stuff onto Margaret. Oh, by the way in case you werent aware, Margaret considers psychics, astrology, chakras, gargolyes, stars, to be the “dark side”. Below is her meltdown on the show. You simply have to see this shit to believe it. It be insane:

Margret, the Prayer Warrior, be INSANE!
Margaret, the Prayer Warrior, be INSANE! (25MB MPEG-4)

Now don’t get me wrong, I think you should believe whatever you want nor do I try to impose my own set of beliefs on others as I find that practice rude. If you watched the full episodes you would have seen the new-age family’s husband trying to just talk to this woman about astrology and a few other similar things and Margaret flat-out refuses to even discuss them in a reasonable manner. Margaret then tries to get the kids in the non-Christian family to become Christians! I have some real problems with how this woman uses her religon as a bulwark to justify all manners of totally despicable treatment of perfectly nice people. If anyone wants to see more of the show let me know and I will cut up the important parts and throw them up to be seen.
