According to the most recent figures from the Vatican yearbook of statistics, the number of the world’s population that are Muslims is 19.2%, with the number of Catholics trailing behind at 17.4 %. ¹

This is attributed to the failure of Catholics and other Christians to reproduce, a failure that is not shared by Muslim families. This will have huge societal implications as we age.

My score on The Deep and Meaningful Winnie-The-Pooh Character Test:

/tnote[Bypass]/ Rabbit (You scored 15 Ego, 16 Anxiety, and 14 Agency!)

“IT was going to be one of Rabbit’s busy days. As soon as he woke up he felt important, as if everything depended upon him. It was just the day for Organizing Something, or for Writing a Notice Signed Rabbit, or for Seeing What Everybody Else Thought About It. It was a perfect morning for hurrying round to Pooh, and saying, “Very well, then, I’ll tell Piglet,” and then going to Piglet, and saying, “Pooh thinks–but perhaps I’d better see Owl first.” It was a Captainish sort of day, when everybody said, “Yes, Rabbit ” and “No, Rabbit,” and waited until he had told them.

You scored as Rabbit!

ABOUT RABBIT: Rabbit is generally considered Clever by his many friends and relations. He is actually a much better reader and writer than Owl, but he doesn’t consider it worth mentioning. Instead, Rabbit’s real talent lies in Organizing Plans. He organizes rescue parties, makes schemes to reduce Tigger’s bounciness, and goes on missions to find out what Christopher Robin does when he’s not at the Hundred Acre Woods. Sometimes, however, his Plans do not always go as Planned.

WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT YOU: You are smart, practical and you plan ahead. People sometimes think that you don’t stress or worry, but this is not the case. You are the kind of person who worries in a practical way. You think a) What are my anxieties about and b)what can be done about them? No useless fretting for you. You don’t see the point in sitting around and waiting for things to work out, when you could actually work them out today and save yourself a lot of time and worry. Your friends tend to rely on you, because they know that they can trust you help them work things out. You sometimes tend to be impatient with people who are less practical in their ways. You don’t have much patience for idiots who moan about things but never actually DO anything about them. You have high expectations of everyone, including yourself. When you don’t succeed at something, or when something goes wrong despite your best efforts to prevent it, you can get quite hard on yourself. You need to cut yourself some slack and accept that everyone has their faults, even you, and THAT IS OKAY. Let yourself be faulty, every now and then, for the sake of your own sanity.”

I have posted what should be just about all of the pictures I have from our wedding. You can find them in the Wedding directory of my website.

“How can I explain these things, so obvious, and yet so invisible to those who think that “it’s all about sex”? Difference of sex makes a difference, but what kind? Perhaps I should leave it at this: To a man, women seem to glow in more hues than men do. In different ones too. The spectrum is wider, the world has more color, because of their presence in it, especially the presence of the beloved. Of course there are certain things which a normal man prefers to do with other men, like playing tackle football. Yet the very light and air seem to change when a woman leaves the room, and all men know it. Obviously this fact is connected with her bodily presence, but it isn’t about imagining her naked.” – J. Budziszewski aka Professor Theophilus¹

An excellent quote by one of the better Focus on the Family authors.

Today I learned that qmail was released to the public domain back in November.¹ Vincas tells me that he informed me of this change back in November when it happened, and that I was not interested. I do not know where my head was at the time.

As we are now looking at using qpsmtpd for auth and greylisting, it is entirely feasible to put qmail behind it instead of postfix, and to ditch mailman in favor of ezmlm. I am thinking that this might be the best way to go, particularly now that there is a route forward for qmail. One of the flaws in it has historically been that its development simply does not move, at all.

For this reason I am thinking that I would look at netqmail and not qmail itself, as there are more developers for it.
