In the Beginning… God Created Code // Quips

5 Feb

Every so often I try to add in a little quote or quip posted in sidenotes.  Usually a short piece that I get out of my mother-in-laws newspaper clippings she gave me.  Funny how different people collect different things, papers, notes, and so on, most all of these I have never seem before and are going through them one at a time every so often.

Today I came across one called In the Beginning and it actually had a note at the bottom for its source and I was able to located it.   This was something she printed off her computer in 2005, and of course it is still active on the Internet today, so I am not going to post but a blurb of it here, but it is well work a read if you want to head over Bag-o-Laughs’ post called In the Beginning.

I love humor websites about our faith, Christians, God, and mix computer related stuff in there and it’s super (another good one is John over at Stuff Christians Like).  So here is the first part of In the Beginning:

In the beginning there was the computer. And God said

%Let there be light!

#Enter user id.

%God

#Enter password.

%Omniscient

#Password incorrect. Try again.

%Omnipotent

#Password incorrect. Try again.

%Technocrat

#And God logged on at 12:01:00 AM, Sunday, March 1.

%Let there be light!

#Unrecognizable command. Try again.

%Create light

#Done

%Run heaven and earth

#And God created Day and Night. And God saw there were 0 errors.

#And God logged off at 12:02:00 AM, Sunday, March 1.

If you are any bit of the computer person, jump over and read the rest of it from the source, and if the above makes no sense to you at all then you are too young to remember when IBM ran the world and everything was written out in commands (I am on the fringe of that time period I think).  So what are some of your favorite God humor sites?  Post a few below so we can check them out.

I am Giving Away a Free Dell Dimension Computer and 17″ Flat Panel in 29 Days

I am Giving Away a Free Dell Dimension Computer and 17″ Flat Panel in 29 Days

Something just a little bit different for my blog today.  Today is November 1st, 29 days away from my birthday, and this year, on my birthday I am going to give away this Dell desktop computer plus 17″ flat panel monitor (and a bunch of extras) for free!  You don’t even have to pay the shipping.

It is a free computer, monitor, keyboard, wireless mouse, speakers, and an HP printer, to be given away on November 29th.  Yep, that’s right football fans, my birthday is on the same day as the Auburn vs Alabama game this year (if anyone wants to send a pair of UA vs AU tickets my way for my birthday that would be cool too), so this giveaway date should be easy to remember if you are the slightest bit familiar with Alabama football.

Every year when your birthday rolls around someone will always ask you what you want for your birthday, and I always liked to do something different instead of opening presents.  I like how Brad Ruggles celebrated his birthday yesterday by asking for his readers to donate to Compassion, a fantastic international children’s charity.  I may do the same thing, but I am also giving away this Dell desktop computer.

Details About the Dell Computer

Free Dell Computer Giveaway

The setup will consist of the following:

  • Dell Dimension E510 Desktop Computer
  • Windows XP, Service Pack 3
  • Microsoft Office 2003 (Excel, Word, Powerpoint and all that)
  • It has a 3.00 GHz Intel Processor, 500mb of RAM
  • 17″ Flat Panel Monitor
  • HP All-in-one Printer, Scanner, Fax PSC 1210v
  • Speakers
  • Keyboard
  • Microsoft Wireless Mouse
  • cables, wires, and plugs needed

This does not include any software discs as I can not find them at this point, but everything is up to date and works fine.  It is not a brand new computer of course, but it is a good working system for someone who needs a computer.

To Enter to Win the Dell Computer Contest Giveaway

In order to be eligible to win the contest, you will need to do the following simple steps below.  Preferably I would like to find someone or some organization that is in need of a computer but can’t afford to buy one.  Anyone can enter, but it would be nice to find a home that is in great need of a computer and I will only ship this computer within the CONUS, I am sure you can understand that.

To enter, you will need to do a blog post on your blog that links back to this blog post.  Somewhere in the post you just need to use the link to this post, here, and then come back here and leave a comment to let us know where to find your blog post.  That’s it, but, don’t expect to win by spamming my blog or leaving comment spam, you will need to write a blog post linking back here to be eligible to win.

If you know someone who doesn’t have a blog and is in need of a computer and would like to enter for them, just do a blog post saying so.  The blog post can be very simple and short but it would be nice to read what you need the computer for or how it will help, or who you would like to give it to if you win.  I would ask that if you win, and you do not need the printer to let me know so I can save a little bit on shipping.

So there you have it.  Simple.

  1. Write a blog post linking back to this blog post right here
  2. Come back here and leave a comment so I know where to go find your post
  3. Tell your friends so they can enter too

If you don’t have a blog, find someone who does and just ask them to enter for you.  Any questions at all please feel free to contact me, you have 29 days and counting.  The winner will be announced here on my blog on November 29th so you might want to subscribe to my blog or make sure you visit again in 29 days. Good luck.
