Welcome to my website

I am a pastor and Christian educator.

In a nutshell, this is what I do…


Understand the Bible

My online ministry focussed on creating videos and songs to teach the Bible and the Christian faith.

The Bible Uncancelled

A short, weekday thought from the Bible published on video or podcast.


This Blog

I only write occasionally here now, as my attention is focussed on the two things I mention above. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, these posts are all still accessible.

  • Keeping Fedora Core up to date

    If you use Fedora Core, or another system that uses “yum” to update packages, you can set it to run automatically every day / week / month (or even hour, if you’re crazy!) fairly easily. This is slightly different to the documentation on the Fedora website, this method is a bit more customisable. Firstly, use…

    Just a quick note to say that this blog and website is now published under a Creative Commons license. This means that you can do what you like with what I do here, provided that: (1) you don’t use any of it in a commercial work, or (2) you don’t modify it or create any…

  • Alex’s Commissioning

    I went to Alex’s commissioning for his position as chaplaincy assistant this evening. It was a good evening, although my voice is now a little hoarse as we sang about eight songs! A good time was had by all. I took some pictures afterwards, and have provided them here for your viewing pleasure (or not,…

  • The Weekend … well, yesterday at least

    I didn’t really do much over the weekend, and I think what I did do I’ve already written about! Anyway. Yesterday I went to Fordham in the morning. Then I went back home for lunch, and then Philippa came round for the afternoon. She had to write some intercessions for this evening (more on that…

  • Photo Album!

    Well, I’ve finally got around to putting a photo album on this site! Let’s see if it works… These photos are from my holiday in August 2005. [Photos now on Flickr]

  • Bonfires and Media Players

    Firstly, just a quick one about Media Players: Zeth’s written a blog entry about mplayer. The blog is about command-line tools, and mplayer can be run without a graphical front-end. To be honest I think graphical front-ends are a lot quicker when you’re dealing with media, but there you go! Just something else to read…

  • New Design

    Well, I’ve got the new design up and running. I think I’ve still got some work to do (‘some work’ will probably translate into ‘re-designing the whole thing from the ground up again – twice!’) but still. All I have to do now is add a photo gallery. I might put my ‘Open-Source’ page back…

  • Media Player

    I forgot to mention this at the time, so I thought I’d mention it now. If you’re looking for a good all-round Media Player for Linux, check out Xine. I used to use Mplayer, but I found that it didn’t seem to like some DVDs and files: the DVD player didn’t support DVD menus, which…

  • Random Quotes

    Just a quick update to say I’ve added a “Random Quotes” feature to this blog. All the quotes are taken from the Campus Crew MSN Group. I realise that they’re probably quite cliquey and not many people will understand them, but hey – you don’t have to read them! It won’t have any negative impact…

  • I swear I’m becoming a teenager again

    It’s really weird. I’ve started to, like, you know, use the word “like” in my sentences. I don’t know why. It’s, like, really strange. I think it could be, you know, like, me wanting to avoid growing up. Like. Ah well, I’m sure it’ll, like, go soon…
