because it isnt always right there
I was planning self reminder notes about my journey with Symfony. So here is the first:
after a svn checkout (for the first time) (which is before you exclude the cache and log files (sudo svn propedit svn:ignore log) you have to change the permission’s on the cache else you get an error. So if you happen to see:
[sfCacheException]
Unable to write cache file “/var/www/myproject/cache/frontend/dev/config/config_config_handlers.yml.php”
you need to do this: chmod -Rf 777 cache log
well, we can look to the mysteries of the stars, we can look down to the mysteries of quantum physics and subatomic particles, but the big question is: how does he demonstrate perfect love?
this almost came up in a talk at my house the other day. it was leading to and ended up around Galations 2:21 “I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” We were talking about salvation at that point and it got me thinking a little.
God cannot learn right, he knows everything. So when he gave us free will, he knew man would sin and thus become separate from him. All in all putting himself in a predicament that nothing less than God taking form as a man, dieing and rasing again could fix.
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. John 15:13
I guess that is the nature of perfect love eh. us screwing up and God paying for it.
its weird. one you get a post written… all be it finally, they just start to flow.

I do suppose I have been very busy writing codes and have not had a chance, or at least given myself a chance, to read the internets. but as soon as you do, gosh, there is some amazing things to learn out there. for example, how long have we talked about this, only to find a clear example in seconds upon looking.
secondly, we have just signed the contract for this web app, providing me work for months and months literally. (and by we, i mean i watched grg and caroll sign (but i was there!!)) very cool. so work is officially commenced. so exciting!!
definitely time for a cup of tea.
sorry ed, was planning to write about this and make some point etc but never got around to it. been well, ya know, not doing it. so this is basically a quote from what i read. hope it’s not too out of context being ripped right out of a chapter. it reminded me of the punishment discussion we had/have.
….the victim ploy (aka i am the result of my circumstances, society… my genes etc..) can be attractive because it frees us from having to admit to wrongdoing. yet it is in admitting guilt that we find our true dignity, for doing so affirms the moral dimension of human nature. for centuries western law codes and social morality were based on a huge regard for individual responsibility. it was understood that human beings were moral agents capable of distinguishing right from wrong and are therefore accountable for their actions.
of course, acknowledging responsibility means attributing real praise and blame, in turn imply’s the legitimacy of punishment. thats what makes moral accountability so bittersweet. yet punishment actually expresses a high view of the human being. if a person who breaks the law is merely a dysfunctional victim of circumstances, then the remedy is not justice but therapy; and the law breaker is not a person with rights but a patient to be cured.
to be punished is to be treated as a human in Gods image.
working hard. very exciting. good to be learning again. just in time. almost confirmed.
will update soon when things are more settled.
(and tonight for you ed. [hopefully] )
March 14th is Pi day, it is also Einstein’s and my brothers birthday. Also importantly, it is the 14th anniversary of the Linux kernel version 1.0.0.
late ish. sitting in my quiet room. the house is asleep. soothingly listening to rain fall onto the roof, the emphasis from my sky window thing. all is dark. my only light emitting from the corner where this computer it. sitting curled up in a ball, typing away.
