I thought that the version of PhotoShop that came with Orac (the name I have given to the used computer purpleglitter recently bought me) was the scaled down version, unlike the professional version on Clementine. However, in playing around with it, I have now realized it is a newer professional version! I preferred it when all programs used version numbers as opposed to semi-random letters attached at the end. The cryptic letters give the title of new version title the feel of a suped up car, but the old version numbers tell you where you stand, period. What about CE tells me that it follows 6.0? What about ME or XP tells me which is the advancement on the other. 7.0 comes after 6.0. Labels work best when they have an inherent meaning, and I am glad the version titling of the majority of programs have yet to succumb to the way of the pyrite marketer.

I have also gotten filesharing to work between Clementine and Orac. Before, Orac would share with Clementine, but Clementine would not share with Orac. I knew this probably had to do with Clementine's firewall, but didn't spend the small amount of time needed to fix it. Lazy I have been. I finally poked around and found that the problem was that the LAN was not included in the trusted zone of the firewall. The problem fixed, I can now access all my files on Clementine from Orac.

With those two issues resolved, I will have very little excuse to use Clementine on any sort of regular basis in the future. This will please purpleglitter, as my constant use of Clementine is of great annoyance to her.

There is a term I have been hesitant to use, because like so many other words it has been corrupted by Christian fundamentalism. But it is term that fits. I have been reborn. I have become born again. I have seen a light that I could not see before. I see a place and a purpose for me in the All. I see hope instead of despair. The gentle dawn has finally come for me.

The secret is that the All was always there right in front of my eyes. When I could not find God, I was not truly looking. God is not on Mass Ave, God is Mass Ave. God is not above Spy Pond, God is Spy Pond. God is not under a bench, God is the bench. The All is Everywhere and Everything, and I am blessed to be in humbled in Its glory.
