Well, I tried to write this last night, but it didn't work out as I accidentally pushed the back button. Shame that all that work went to waste. That said, the Eucharist is a very, very large subject (what else would you expect from Jesus?), and I could never even begin to hope I could cover as much as a tenth of all that it encompasses, even were I to devote my entire life to writing about it. I will try to address why it seems to me that the Eucharist must, in truth and very literally, must be the True Body and True Blood of Jesus Christ.

If anyone is looking around for a pdf of the Pope's latest Encyclical Caritas in Veritate, I converted and uploaded it. Get it here

I discovered that doing the above was harder than I was lead to believe. I found the following video on YouTube, which shows how to install Python 2.5 on CentOS 5. Pretty simple, right? Untar it, ./configure, make install, moving the old /usr/bin/python, [symbolic] linking /usr/loca/bin/python to /usr/bin/python, all pretty standard. What I then discovered was that yum was broken - turns out it uses Python 2.4.3.

I really want this election to be over. I know, without a doubt, "my candidate" won't win. Being a conservative, both fiscally and socially, and, strangely, in favor of smaller government, has really been an awkward place to be, particularly since none of the leading candidates are conservative fiscally, and only one of them (McCain) is even close to be conservative socially.

I'm sure this means pretty much nothing to anyone that might read this, but here I go:
As part of my Risk-esque game adventure, I want to try out Twisted Python and all that jazz. It seems as though there's a extension to Twisted (which is really just an extension of Python) called Nevow which itself has Athena built in. Athena, is, apparently, the bridge between Python and Javascript, and Nevow is a sort of web application framework that uses Twisted, and Twisted is a event-driven network framework that is driven by Python.

I'm going to be working on a Risk-like game that I'm going to call "I Rule the World."

I'll be making some modifications here and there. Figure this will help me learn Drupal better, have a blog, whatever and all that jazz. Cheers!
