Web Roundup - cool tools and news

My browser is filling up with pages left right and centre.

30. The New Browser in Town the Google Chrome.jpg I need to reduce the number of windows open – even though I am running Google Chrome now. I have noticed it is way more stable than Firefox and leaves Internet Explorer for dead – except for a few sites that will only open properly in IE. Qantas being one of them. Actually the Qantas site works fine, but the Infotriever software uses a plugin that extracts my flight bookings and inserts them into Outlook for me. So where am I going?

First I am flying to Sydney for the day on 18th October to attend the Australian DrupalCamp. The at Christmas time I am flying to New Zealand to attend a family reunion as the resident tech geek – set up and manage a wifi network, patch PCs, probably build a new one for my folks etc. Oh and hang out with my siblings and nieces and nephews for a couple of days :)

Compassion Child Sponsoring

We had a chap from Compassion come and speak at church on Sunday. I videoed the last 13 minutes of his message with my phone. You can watch it on You Tube if you would like. I have also embedded them in here.

The young chap we have sponsored as a result is a little Indonesian boy. I hope as a result he can achieve a better life. Did you know 91 million children go to bed each night hungry?

Part 1 - 9 Minutes

Part 2 - 4 Minutes

The weekend - climbing, church and chunder

IMG_0665-800Saturday I went climbing with a bunch of young folk. We headed up Mt Beerwah, one of the local volcanic plugs making up the Glasshouse mountains, so called because when Captain Cook anchored off the coast he could see the distinctive plugs sticking up in the distance like glass houses.

The full story and pictures can be found at www.krostech.biz.

Church on Sunday was a good time of reflection and teaching in Ephesians. Jude and Erin stayed home with the chunder bug that has hit this house in the last week - with all the kids succumbing to it in succession. Jude and I haven't chundered, but both had some queasiness last week. Hopefully it is all gone now.

Church on Sunday

We had most of the folks from our home group turn up at our church on Sunday which was great - the kids certainly enjoyed seeing their friends there.

Heres a pic of the little girls together in their pretty dresses.
