Multitasking Mondays: Sync Contacts with Funambol
It’s amazing how much your productivity increases when you have all the information for all your contacts on all your devices.
There is literally only one service that provides this functionality. And its free.

Exegetical Insight, Lost Edition
Though perhaps not as significant as yesterday’s exegetical insight, I put myself to the task of translating Jacob’s tapestry from last night’s lost (that pause button is wonderful, isn’t it!).

οσα φρεσι σησι μενοινας
The latter clause is [...]

Type in Polytonic Greek in Linux
I have written a series of guides on best practices for typing in Greek. The trick is to use Unicode. Though it requires some initial struggle the payoff is enormous, and will save you frustration down the road.
There is a new guide out for Linux users, and it looks excellent (pretty pictures). Find that [...]

Don’t know what arcing is? Check out this video from John Piper on how he uses this tool. If you [...]
