Sunday Sermon On This Christmas Day 2016
Sunday Sermon On This Christmas Day 2016
Marcus and Agata are really celebrating Christmas Hard.
Look, we even bought a tree
Is there a War On Christmas?
Since we are not card carrying Christians you could ask this question. But the answer is that we respect the right of Christians and encourage them to celebrate Christmas in their own peaceful religious way. So long as it does not harm anybody we are all in
Of Course
We would like to point out that we are advocates of
Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all people, 365 days of the year
We give generously, 365 days of the year
We try to be kind, considerate and respectful, 365 days of the year
We try never to discriminate against people because of Race or Sex or Sexual Orientation, 365 days of the year
You see, because if you are a Mindful, thoughtful Secular person this is the added burden you face. We try to do these things every day of the year, not just at Christmas.
Oh, and we read and study the Bible more than most Christians that we know, daily in fact, but not for advice or guidance you will understand.
This Christmas
I have received some humour from Religious friends:
It is never our job to convert anybody, but at this time of good will I would ask you to respectfully look at these 2 short, gentle YouTube videos
Sean Carroll and Naturalism
Belief in Belief in God
Now go back to that gentle, peaceful and respectful Christmas Celebration.

switching to Linux read this!
switching to Linux read this!
one of the reason windows is considered as a synonym of the computer among non-geeks is its simplicity, everything can be learnt in a jiffy .for most of them nothing even exist except windows but one big problem that frustrate people is its virus catching ability,which causes a great deal of headache to its users in form of system format and squandering money in buying antiviruses(since licencing of windows and close source are not even a point about which indians and non-geeks ever bothered), and this is how people start looking for other options rather than windows and sometimes boys in engineering try out linux just out of curiousness(I am not sure about girls :-D ).so here are the points which must be taken in to consideration before switching to linux or you will endup abusing linux and taking step back to windows.
1. first if you are a gamer type of person then never ever fully switch to linux because gaming in linux sucks(for real believe me :-( ).windows is heaven for u guys.
2. try UBUNTU or LINUX MINT first rather then any other flavor of linux because UBUNTU and MINT are simplest and most advance linux available right now.(ubuntu can even be installed in windows as an application and then try it. it is simplest method to try linux or using the live option while booting from linux dvd)
3. check out your wireless card (network interface card if it supports linux or not) because without it linux would become a bigtime mistake..
To know about wireless card, run this command on linux terminal(boot using live cd or wubi)
just press "ALT+F2" and type in "gnome-terminal" or "konsole" and press ENTER "lspci | grep -i wireless".
if you are lucky as me to have broadcom wireless then here is the guide if not then google regarding your nic card.there are hosts of websites which will surely let you know whether your card supports linux or not. if it doesnt supports dont panic buy netgear wg111 v3 which is cheaply available and supports linux.
4. if you use android phone then you are lucky buddy,no problem no drivers needed to connect android to linux and using tethering internet connection can be established in easy way but if you use some kind of usb modem(e.g. micromax ) then be careful because drivers are not so eaisly available for all of them.(for this point you have to be little bit technical to apply) check out the links below...you will get the help.micromax 3g usb, micromax 353 g wireless modem, BSNL Micromax mmx 300G USB MODEM .
5. if you do some work with printer then before switching to linux watch out if your printer is supported by linux.visit these 2 pages carefully-: check support for your printer, how to setup a printer in ubuntu.
if all the above described things are in your favour then you are ready to switch to linux and beware linux community never believes in spoonfeeding so one must always be willing to learn.all your desktop needs will be satisfied by the desktop version of linux and plus you get a solid ,stable, non virus catching, free of cost, operating system.but do consider donating some money to these organizations as they are working for mankind and ofcourse it helps save your lots of money in form of no licencing ,no antivirus,free softwares,no untimely formatting,protection of data so why not donate a little part of it to linux communities.do let me know what you think about this article in comments...

Struggling to stay focused on your Work This App Might Help Ubuntu PPA
Struggling to stay focused on your Work This App Might Help Ubuntu PPA
Ambient Noise is a very clean implementation of a simple idea that will help you stay focused on your work while on the computer. And it integrates well with your Ubuntu sound menu. Care to learn more? Read on.
Installation is super easy. Just do the following in Terminal.
After completing the installation, launch the Ambient Noise application from Ubuntu menu. Thats it. The app sits nicely in your sound menu and you can skip, pause and play through the preloaded sounds from the Unity sound menu. Ambient Noise works in offline mode as well.
And guess what, you can download even more sounds from the ANoise Preferences window. I have to concede that Im enjoying this app more than any other supposedly relaxing music Ive in my playlist. And my favorites are rain and storm modes. If you want to support the project, do visit ANoise homepage. Thanks for reading.
