Ok people. Which ones of you have book ideas that you’d like to pitch? I’m going to be meeting with the Editor, 2 Division heads (emerging, christian living) and a couple others for dinner on September 9th. If you have a good book idea throw it past me.

Excited about Death Cab For Cutie‘s new album, Plan. If you haven’t, check out Soul Meets Body at their myspace page. I can listen to this on continual loop for hours.

Skype – free internet-based phone calls

Posted by D. Goodmanson on Aug 17, 2005 in Church Technology, Monk Dev | 3 comments

I’m pretty amazed. I also just started using Skype to work with a contractor on some web projects. It allows you to conduct free internet-based phone calls anywhere in the world. We are able to work on our projects (web dev) and talk about it as we work. (I guess other people would love it for gaming.) Most of you are probably aware of this, I am a late-comer on the IP telephony stuff. I used it about 4 years ago but the quality was so bad I wrote it off until now.

HisMethod (and all the rest of you in Australia) or CawleyBlog we may need to try this some day!

I’ve been using a couple of these web templates at Monk Development. Amazing! We just launched Players Vacation Club with a simple template (we edited it from tables to Web Standard based CSS) and it took 3 days! Talk about crazy.

Since, technagoraphobia (which you can now google btw, click on it) went over well. I have another term I’d like to introduce to the english language:

Search Engine Engineered, Search Engine Engineering or Search Engine Engineer. Ok, many websites will Search Engine Optimize, but that only takes existing data/content and ‘optimizes’ it for a Search Engine. Search Enginer Engineering, engineers websites from the ground up to peform well on Search Engines.
