Sometimes I Wonder...

I'm just now getting around to responding to a letter I received in June of this year. That letter came from an insurance / investment group in Fort Payne, Alabama, and was hand addressed with my father-in-law's name. Inside the envelope was a business card, a company flier, a response card, and a personally signed letter with the following initial information:

RE: "STOP PAYING LIFE INSURANCE PREMIUMS FOREVER"

Recently I received your reply card requesting information on the above topic. Enclosed please find the information as promised to you.

My letter of response:

To the "person" in charge:

You sent this material for <Father-in-law's name> to my address earlier this year. You stated (LIED) that you "had received your reply card..."

<Father-in-law's name> died in November 2005. His name is only associated with my address because of that death.

I suggest you find a better mass mailing database. The one you used for this mailing only confirms one of two things:

You're cheap.

or

You're stupid.

Your choice.

Sincerely,

Byron Todd

I mailed the original contents and my response back to the "person". I was seriously tempted to use the word moron or idiot instead of "person".

Bad Dining Experience

I sent the following letter today. I've edited out some of the personal information in what is displayed below. Just writing up that letter brought up bad memories, and I, for one, am glad to put this behind me. Though I still won't visit the local Chick-fil-A's.

Byron Todd

Chick-fil-A
1008 South 4th Street
Gadsden, AL 35901


To Whom It May Concern:

I'm writing to tell you about a horrible experience thrust upon my family and me a while back. <name removed>, I believe, was the person solely responsible for this incident. It may not be remembered by her, but it will be remembered my family and me for a while. As far as I know, our patronage to the local Chick-fil-A restaurants has ceased and will not continue for the foreseeable future.

The date was September 25 of this year. I remember it well because it was my son's fourth birthday, and he wanted to eat at Chick-Fil-A. We had a party planned in Birmingham for the following Saturday, so the only people to come to this dinner, the only people invited to this dinner were my parents and my wife's mother. Let me reiterate that: a dinner with one child, one baby, and five adults. No other guests, no other invitees. We showed up at Chick-fil-A for that dinner, and were pleasantly surprised to see that it was "Family Night". We - and I'm speaking authoritatively for everyone invited - had no idea that Chick-fil-A had anything planned for that night. Nor did we have any plans to disrupt anything or anyone else.

However, my son had been carrying around a few balloons with him that day (which he had taken with him to pre-school), and <name removed> assumed the worse. I can only guess that she believed that we had a large party with lots of children on the way because the way we were treated - accosted or assaulted is a more appropriate word - showed that she assumed the worst. I believe she made the bad assumption and compounded it by not wanting and not caring to listen to anything my wife or I had to say. A simple question or questions would have cleared up the matter. Her confrontation with my wife and me showed that she did not want us there. When I told her that I could tell someone who knew Truett Cathy about this incident, she said "Fine, tell him!" and stormed off. I was wrong about that person's relationship with Truett Cathy, but not about their closeness to the Cathy family. My cousin is <name removed> and she said that the whole incident sounded too surreal and out of character for <name removed>. I don't know nor do I really care at this point.

What everyone in my family - including family which did not attend - got from that incident is that she absolutely hated our presence and our possible patronage at that time, that she did not want us there. Although we did eat a very bitter meal there, I can state that she will be rewarded with that wish - neither my wife or I will visit the local Chick-fil-A's. As far as I know, neither my parents nor my mother-in-law are planning to come by there again as well. If we wish to have Chick-fil-A, we will simply visit another one in another city.

Sincerely,



Byron Todd

PS. I should mention that the assistant manager witnessed the whole incident - including the storming off of <name removed> - and I believe he realized that <name removed> had made a mistake. He went out of his way to smooth over the incident and tried to make us as welcome as possible. He brought ice cream by the table later for my son, he tried to give ice cream to the adults at our table, and he gave a coupon for future ice cream. However, <name removed> was more memorable. We don't need this coupon as it says it is valid at "Chick-fil-A of Gadsden".

In my 37 years of life - including the 20 some-odd years that my memory serves - I can't remember another single restaurant which did not want someone to celebrate a birthday there. Not a solitary one. It seems to me that every other restaurant - from McDonald's to Ruth's Chris - go out of their way to make birthday celebrations fun and memorable. But good memorable...

Started A New Book...

Dad bought me Stephen J. Nichols' "For Us And For Our Salvation: The Doctrine of Christ in the Early Church" while we were up at Hippensteal's Mountain View Inn in Gatlinburg, TN.

So far, all I can say is "Wow!" I was intrigued into wanting this book by a post on Desiring God's blog. That post says it so much better than I can.

I'm only 34 pages into the book and I can't wait to get back to it. Highly recommended.

Miscellaneous Post...

This is a "catch-all" post: In the past week, I've setup the church for podcasting and move quite a bit more information on to the Grace Bible Church Wiki.

The podcasting is pretty cool. I use my laptop and Audacity to record the unbalanced output of the pastor's wireless microphone. After recording the sermon, it's just a matter of a quick conferral with Dean to find out any edits he might want made (removing extra silence on the the tail end of the sermon, or any pre-sermon notices given). In all, I can take the raw audio and have it ready in less than thirty minutes for publishing. After that, I use a PHP script installed on the rbcgrace.com server called "Podcast Generator". It's pretty slick in every way - except that I can't upload via PHP due to some weird connection error with large uploads (looks like a BellSouth problem.) Regardless, I can upload via FTP to and then Podcast Generator is smart enough to recognize that a new MP3 is ready to publish. I have a URL that I then goto that pings the iTunes store to state that a new podcast is available.

As far as the wiki work, whew! I've been quite busy. Setting things up initially takes some organization and then adding the content is just a bit more work. No problems though. I do enjoy seeing the end result.

As a result, I haven't been posting about my Bible Reading progress. (Still going!) But I am collecting favorites and blurbs about specific verses in Psalms for a later blog posting.

Blog Name Change

You can't be a "newbie" anything forever. I couldn't keep calling myself a true aquarist either. Although I do mess with a fifty-five gallon cichlid tank at work (in Dad's office), Christian's (my newbie tank) has long since stopped functioning. It's not all my fault: after the filter mechanism failed a second time, I was facing an expense that was almost a quarter of the tank's entry price. With no living fish and only plants left, I decided that it was not worth fixing. So, I'm no longer a newbie nor an aquarist.

Why "Musings of a Josiah Wannabe" then?

"Musings of ..." was easy. I felt like this blog had always been more about my thoughts, my family happenings, my pictures, etc. than just a fish tank that "Musings of ..." fit. I like the second definition found at "The Free Dictionary": a product of contemplation; thought. Although not every post here begins with contemplation, by the time I've typed out my thoughts, read the typing, edited, corrected, and then posted, I think I've met and passed the threshold of contemplation.

The "..." was the hardest. I spent a few days trying to think of anything to put there. Of course, I hadn't a clue. After my daughter was born - and I pointed more people to this blog - I also kept having to explain newbie aquarist. I started asking for help for a new name. I asked my pastor if he could think of something appropriate. What kept running through my mind is "how do I define myself in one word, two words, three words?" As I told my pastor, my inclinations toward "Musings of ..." with "Godly Father", "Christian", "Jesus Follower" sounded good to me but also disingenuous and a bit prideful. I hope to be all of those, but I also know that I fail miserably and often. [Darn this flesh!]

I've been making my way through the Bible marking progress with my Bible reading spreadsheet.

[Side Bar]
Yes, I know, I'm way behind! I've made progress slowly at times, not at all at other times [I did mention how I fail miserably and often?] No, I'm not saying that Bible reading daily is a requirement for Christian living. I am saying that for me it almost is. (I could probably chart my ups and downs in my Christian walk with that spreadsheet.)
[End Side Bar]

My Bible reading: I was and am still in the Old Testament. Short story long, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are tough - long lists of laws, people's name, their family trees, reiteration of the law. Then you are confronted with Joshua and Judges. Joshua's good - encouraging. But Judges? It's best summed up by it's last verse - Judges 21:25 - "In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes." OUCH! There was a pattern: sin, condemnation, crying out (repentance), deliverance (by a judge). I found it a bit depressing. Ruth is just a breath of fresh air - it's needed and how wonderful is the order of the Bible in that Ruth shows that there were some faithful ones in the time of the judges? Then First and Second Samuel - the beginning of kings for the Israelite nation. Good stuff (but again failures too)! First and Second Kings. Some good kings, mostly bad ones - following the same pattern found in Judges, with the exception that as the king went, so did the country. Good king following God meant that Israelites followed God as well and prospered; Bad king doing evil meant that the Israelites did the same and came under condemnation.

Shortly after Mary Alice's birth, I got to 2 Kings 22 which introduces king Josiah - young king Josiah at the age of eight! Josiah's immediate ancestors: great grandfather was "Good King Hezekiah"; grandfather was the king Manasseh, traditionally the one who killed the prophet Isaiah: 2 Kings 21:16 - "Moreover, Manasseh shed very much innocent blood until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the Lord." Josiah's father Amon, evil king who only reigned for two years. Amon's servants killed him in his own house. [They had rather had an eight year old as their boss than the eight year old's father!]

Josiah stood out and not just because of his age, not because of his doing "right in the sight of the Lord". So many good things about Josiah: his repairs of the temple, his response to the finding of the law (which is another great story in of itself!), his covenant renewal, his reformation of the nation, his Passover celebration - the like of which had not been seen (in conformity to the law) since the time of the judges! All of which were great things. But his epitaph (or what I read as his epitaph) in 2 Kings 23:25: "And before him there was no king like him who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; nor did any like him arise after him."

Wow! It hit me hard. What a statement. What a testimony. What a life! I wanted that, I want that - for my family, friends, neighbors, and others who know me, to be able to say that *I* followed the Lord with all my heart and all my soul and all my strength.

But the blog name didn't strike me then. I went to my parent's house a day or so after reading and being blown away with Josiah's epitaph and found my niece working on her Bible homework. What was she studying? King Josiah. I was "johnny on the spot!" It was nice reinforcement of my focus on Josiah. I was able to answer her questions with her. Hmmmm. I thought, "Josiah?"

There's an excellent song by Steven Curtis Chapman that comes to mind now. "Waiting for Lightning" tells how easy it is for us to look for the bright, unmissable sign of lightning when God is whispering in our ear. Just when I had been wanting a new blog name, with a short definition for me to define myself. "To be like Josiah?" Yeah, I want to be like Josiah. I wannabe like Josiah.

Finally Home

Yep. It's past 2AM but we're all home safely. I should mention that that is a minor miracle. I don't remember but short sections of the last twenty or so miles home and I was driving!

I'm glad that Christian had a great time (although the "I want to go bye-bye" that I heard a hundred times or so was not fun), that Auburn won, and that we made it home safe.

Goodnight!

"Call Me" Button Updated

That "Call Me" Button - that you see over to the right - has been updated (temporarily) to ring the hospital room where Christy and I are for the weekend. If you want, feel free to use it to call Christy or I (and it's a free phone call for both the caller and my family).

I've taken twice the number of pictures with my digital camera as I have with the Apple iPhone (which is what has been published here so far). Planning to upload those as soon as I can next week.

Blog Name Change?

I'm thinking of changing the name of this blog to something like "Musings of a _______".

It's that last word that I'm having a hard time thinking / verbalizing / writing...

(And this post is simply one to post into July 2007 so that the archive that was mistakenly created by blogger can actually have something in it.)

What Does *It* Look Like?

Yes, it's been a while since I've posted. Lots of things going on, and no time to discuss them. I can't and shouldn't complain - though I want to and feel like I need to (sin!).

However, I do feel compelled to blog about something else: something that is important (maybe even more so regarding the current things/environment/circumstances that I am going through...) - the "It" referenced in the title...

I know that my purpose (and indeed, everyone's purpose) while here on planet Earth is to do just one thing. To do "It": to glorify God. Simple statement, eh? I've summed up what I feel to be the most important thing that I (or anyone) can ever do, and yet, I know that "It" isn't so simple.

So I've been struggling to better define "It". I sometimes think "Wow, 'It' would be so much easier if only I were on the mission field..." Or "if only I were a pastor..." Or "if only I were a doctor..." etc... Where does that kind of thinking get me? Besides, I'm not so sure that some, if not most, missionaries / pastors / doctors don't struggle with "It" too...

I've come to the conclusion that God has me here (time, place, and *circumstances*) for His reasons, for my ultimate good, and for His glory. "It": To glorify God in all that I say, do and act. As a visual person, I want to know what that looks like. I've been asking myself the above question... What does it look like - while working at RainGard, while at home, while working in the yard, while talking to my neighbors, or while _____________ [fill in the blank]? Over and over again, I ask. I wonder if I'm coming close to "It".

I'm addressing this question in two ways: Bible reading and prayer.

From my Bible reading, I see examples of those who struggled, who failed, and who succeeded and sometimes did all three! (I know I struggle and fail, not completely sure about my success...) I also see guidelines for success. I know I need to be more diligent and disciplined in my reading.

I also pray (and need prayer!) that I do "It". I'm praying that as I try to do "It", I fulfill the most important and greatest commandment of all [Matthew 22:34-40; Mark 12:28-31; Luke 10:25-28].

I needed to write this. I need this as a reminder and as encouragement. With the end result that those around me don't hear me, don't focus on me or my actions, but rather they see God and He be glorified over all.

Catching up...

This post has been a few weeks in the making - I've been much busier than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs... I won't bore you with those details (after all, it's the people who read this who already know the details because they were the details.) This post is about my book reading...

Three weeks ago, I finally finished this book. WHEW! I think one day (when I have very little to do - as if that'll happen!!!) I'll go back and read the book and make notes such as: Where, When, Background, Who vs. Who, Pivotal Action, etc. It would probably make the book more interesting and I'd probably get more out of it.

Then I picked up and started Thr3e by Ted Dekker. I read it in two nights. It was a pretty good read - suspenseful and well paced. I might not agree with the background theology that Dekker's characters believe, but it was nice to read a book without foul language, and without having to skim over "racy" sections...

But now, three weeks later, I've again fallen behind on my Bible Reading for the Year. Today is as good a day as any to get back rolling... I should mention that I think I really started to fall behind when I ordered and started reading J. Vernon McGee's Thru the Bible series. I was hoping to use it to expand on my daily reading: reading my daily portion and then read the "Thru The Bible" commentary for that portion. The problem is that I started reading it (the day after I finished "Thr3e") and reading through Genesis chapter 1 took thirty-two pages. Ouch!

Think Like A Redneck...

Sometimes I see something and I can't help but think it's funny. Today, Jason decided that we needed a new mailbox at work. I guess he's become tired of having to answer the door to receive mail-order stuff. In fact, he calls the new mailbox the "Jim Todd Mail Order Special Mailbox". I'm not sure if they even make a larger mailbox! Anyways, in the time from the removal of the old mailbox until the placement of the new mailbox, I saw the post sticking up and couldn't help thinking "Hey, that's a Redneck Mailbox..."

Enjoy the pictures and I hope you find them funny too...

LaCie Follows Up (NOT!)

When I posted this and sent a short email to sales@lacie.com, I expected nothing. Really, the experiences that I have had with their support have lowered my expectations to such a low level that I figured some sales goof might read the email and then toss it.

However, I was surprised. I did receive a reply from a Mathieu Gasquy who represented himself as the "VP Sales". I would publish the reply here, but Lacie places a "don't publish, talk about or reproduce clause" on emails - or at least the reply I received had that disclaimer. Boiled down to the bare minimum, I was told something along the lines of "customer satisfaction is #1 priority" and I'll be in the office if you care to respond. I responded:

I do appreciate your reply. But frankly, my expectations were so
high, and actual experience with Lacie was so low that I'm not sure
that there is much you can do.

Way back when... when I first looked for an external HDD, I contacted
another computer engineer friend of mine and he gushed over the
experience he had with his Lacie drives. Which led to my purchase of
the lemon. I can understand that your technical support did not find
anything wrong with the drive when it came back for repair. As a
computer engineer, I never could forcefully cause a connect failure -
it seemed as random as eye blinking. The only exception would be when
the drive had been in use for a while and was warm. At those times,
disconnects were often and consistent. That's when it was sent int
for repair. The drive came back, I used it for a short while and
thought the problems might have been fixed. But since I had moved the
drive to a location where it wasn't used all the time, and frankly was
only used at most once a week, I didn't notice a problem until I tried
to restore a drive image from the drive (as my laptop drive was being
imaged once a week automatically). At that time, I noticed that half
the images were corrupt, and when accessing the drive over and over, I
got the same "random" disconnects that were so frustrating in the
first place.

As I posted in my blog, I was so frustrated that I simply powered the
drive down, wrapped up the cables, took it to my office, and put it in
a box. I am 99% sure that the unit would work as wonderfully as it
did with my wife's iMac via FireWire. It was rock solid (even when
the enclosure temp became very warm) connected to it. No disk errors,
no disconnects. But I have no use for it there. The iMac has plenty
of storage that my wife will probably *never* use.

As it is, I've taken the WD drives out, and ordered external
enclosures from newegg.com. Since the unit worked fine with the iMac,
I'm reasonably sure that the hard drives are ok. I dislike that the
drives don't have the warranty from WD that they would normally have,
but I'll get over it.

For the record, the biggest problem that I have with the customer
disservice I received from technical support is that suggestion:
"Since the firewire interface seems to be ok, to figure out how to use
the unit via firewire." Bad analogy: "Sir, your steering column in
your car is broken and won't let you turn left. I suggest you plan
your trips such that you only have right turns to go from place to
place. Since your car is out of warranty, that would be the best
thing for you to do." Frankly, it's an insulting suggestion to me as
a computer engineer.

Sincerely,
Byron Todd

So what has happened since that my reply [which was asked for?]. A big fat NOTHING. Not a blessed thing.

Oh yeah, I should mention that I had another Lacie drive failure recently - the 80GB Porsche designed drive that my church was using completely stopped working. When I tried to recover the data using my home linux server box, there were so many errors and nothing was recovered in place that I'm calling it a dead (as in dead!) drive.

New Year's Resolutions...

Yeah, it is sorta late to be discussing resolutions but Dean's sermon of two Sundays ago (January 7th) has goaded me. (Goaded may be too strong of a word... Encouraged is probably more appropriate).

It seems like my resolutions never change - they are the same as the previous year's but sometime in the new year, I drop the ball and the resolution gets dropped. I'm pretty sure that this is the same for most people, but Dean's sermon and his statement that he had actually made a resolution and kept it for a year was very encouraging. So what is the resolution that I'm blogging about? Reading the Bible in a year. I've read good portions of the Bible, but I know that I've never read it completely. I tried different reading schedules but nothing has worked for me. (I usually make it to Leviticus and then really struggle). I want that to change - I really, really want to complete this resolution, so I've create my own reading schedule based on the Bible that I use the most - my Ryrie Study Bible (NASB). I'm using Google Docs & Spreadsheets to track my progress. Here is what I've got so far:



Hopefully, you should be able to keep track of my progress (and encourage me from time to time!) The permanent (and updated) location of the spreadsheet is here.

Coming Blog Changes?

I'm considering making a couple of minor to look at, maybe major to implement changes. 1.) Blog name change from "The Newbie Aquarist" to something like "The Musings of BT..." Obviously, the name thing is still in flux. 2.) Joining a blog ring over at Possumblog. I shouldn't think it would be a big deal, but I think it would be neat (plus it might bring more traffic to Pastor Dean's blog).

And wow, this post is definitely a "musing of..."

Your thoughts?

Reason for Blog "Interruption"

Oh, that's easy... My ThinkPad T42p's lcd decided to go wonky. At first, it would work for periods of time as long as the brightness level was lowered. That progressively got worse: after two weeks, the only way to see anything was by keeping one finger on the lid close detection button, and pressing it every time the screen blanked. That gets old FAST!

I've been trying to get it fixed and back to me, but that's a good long story in of itself... I've got some excellent pictures to show later!

Lacie Big Disk Triple Interface Drive = Piece of Junk, Waste of Money

Let me first state that this may not be representative of anyone else's experience with Lacie drives. However, this is my experience with this worthless (to me) piece of computer equipment.

For the record, I purchased this Lacie 320GB Big Disk Extreme/Triple Interface drive from PCMall.com a long time ago (two years?). Since that time, it has proven to be the biggest waste of money - technologically speaking - that I have spent. I simply wanted a reliable hard drive to use for backups. Then I got involved in the NSLU2-Linux community and I decided to use the drive with a NSLU2. Shortly thereafter, the problems started. The NSLU2 would hang from time to time - usually with no rhyme or reason and certainly no pattern. I would do disk checks and the drive would come up with plenty of errors. I finally got smart and connected a BYOD (Bring Your Own Disk) external enclosure with my NSLU2 and haven't had any real issues with the NSLU2 since.

So I then tried to use the drive as that backup target. Nothing but bad times: random disconnection of the drive [which looked to be related to the time the drive was running versus ambient temp]. When I first contacted Lacie, they had me test the drive and it looked like it was happy connected to my wife's iMac (where the drive is most useless to me) via Firewire. So I sent the drive off and Lacie supposedly fixed the problem.

Fast forward six months to the Summer of 2006. I found a semi-permanent location for the drive on my desk at home where it would be sporadically connected to my hard drive. Boy, does that describe the situation to a "T".... "Sporadic!" I never really used the drive that much, but exactly when I needed to - I could just about guarantee a disconnect. The laptop would give that USB-disconnect sound (of Windows XP), followed by either an error message on screen or the error message and a USB-connect sound. I became so disgusted with the situation that I simply powered the drive off and resolved to not use it.

Fast forward to today. I decided to see what - if anything - Lacie might do about this. I called their tech support a very short while ago. The short story? "Your unit is out of warranty and wow, it does sound like the USB interface might be the problem. Don't you think you could use it via Firewire?" The long story? Lacie should have painted this drive yellow. It's a lemon, an example of bad engineering or manufacturing (why else would you recommend someone to keep using it via the Firewire interface?) a qualified piece of junk. What ticks me off: the one year warranty was just long enough for them to get off the hook for repairing it ever again. I will never buy or recommend a Lacie product in the future. (Yeah, that'll get Lacie shaking in their collective corporate boots....)

What have I done with the drive? I considered slapping it on eBay with a "Buy it now!" price of a $0.01 with free shipping, but I really don't want the negative feedback that would probably result. I'm disassembling this piece of junk and salvaging the hard drives for other uses - probably in external enclosures where they'll work just fine. Hmmm... nice WD Caviar 160os...

PS. Bleh. Just checked the warranty on these drives and they don't have the nice warranty that Western Digital drives usually have for the simple reason that Lacie purchased them. Great! Another reason to dislike Lacie...

Thanks for nothing, Lacie. Keep up the crappy workmanship, and the even nicer "I'm sorry that your unit isn't working, is out of warranty, and can't you find a friend who might want it as a working Firewire unit?" response from technical support.

PPS. In a completely opposite example of technical support: I contacted Logitech about my MX1000 Laser mouse that just recently stopped working. I've had this thing for well over a year (out of warranty most likely). It's randomly registering a single click as a double click - which will drive you nuts (ok, it's driving *me* nuts!) After some troubleshooting, the support person asked me for three things - email address, phone number and physical address. They're sending me - no questions asked, free of charge a MX Revolution. SWEET! Thank you, Logitech! You guys ROCK!
