The Hundred-Year Language

The Hundred-Year Language: "I don't predict the demise of object-oriented programming, by the way. Though I don't think it has much to offer good programmers, except in certain specialized domains, it is irresistible to large organizations. Object-oriented programming offers a sustainable way to write spaghetti code. It lets you accrete programs as a series of patches. Large organizations always tend to develop software this way, and I expect this to be as true in a hundred years as it is today.

I can recall that the floorboards were kind of partly there and the exhause would leak up into the car. The old faithful four cylinder L-head made some kinda noise, especial

Orthodoxy will be the last church standing as protestant and catholic churches consume themselves in their fervor to conform to the world. I see a tipping point coming where only a church that survived 70 years of attempted extermination by the Soviets has the spine to stay true to Christ. It needs no outreach, just don't conform.

Why I am converting to russian orthodox, part one.

When you make a big change in life, maybe you should explain to yourself and others why you did it. No one but me cares but if you are reading this I invite you to point out errors in the comments. And by error I don't mean disagreement. My search begins with looking for a new church after moving back to Texas. We visited several of the nearby churches like the kind we normally have attended. There were several threads of thought going through my head like worldliness, authority and authenticity. Historically I come from a family raised in the church of Christ, a very small conservative denomination that doesn't use musical instruments. My parents left that church when I was a child and went to its split off denomination the disciples of Christ. So I was raised in a very liberal church which I loved because of summer camp. We moved a lot so I was always in a new school, but summer camp was always in the same place with the same people. So church was a source of continuity an
