If only for my own benefit I’m going to start a series on security tweets.

It’ll be an adhoc series but will basically include anything that has caught my eye and may also include some additional commentary from me. Anyway, tweets after the jump.

For those of you unaware of whom Paul Steinbrueck is then let me direct you at his homes on the web. His main home is OurChurch.com which he started in 1996 with his brother and then there’s his Live Intentionally blog.

Anyway, my thanks to Paul for his time in answering my standard set of questions. Answers after the jump.

Lee over at ScamTypes has written a very good post about protecting our kids.

The one bit of advice I disagreed with is:

Whilst I think this is an important part of their development you may feel that you would like to keep an eye on them all the same, perhaps without them being aware of that fact.

If so then software such as Win-Spy Pro is what you will need as it affords the opportunity to remotely view another computer.

This includes what is viewed on their screen as well as what they type.

The program cannot be deleted or stopped by your kids and they will almost certainly be unaware if it is installed on their system.

You can even use the program to control a nearby webcam to see exactly what your child is doing!

Spying isn’t cool but sometimes its necessary to ensure the safety of those we love.

I’ve had my iPhone 3GS for precisely two days now.

In that time I have spent a good number of minutes searching for a way to have my iPhone utilise multiple computers without the dreaded “is synched with another computer” pop up message.

Well I’ve found the answer now and it is just so easy… I can also see this being useful for those rare situations where you have more than 5 computers you want to sync with. Which, if you didn’t know, is the limit put on your device by itunes… grrr.

Anyway, you can find the full details over at iSmashPhone.com – just click the link.

Do you suffer with writers block?

Do you struggle to get your words out and put forward your ideas or is it just because you can’t find the topics to blog about? In this post I want to present some ideas and links for helping you overcome your blocks.

My problem is topic ideas. What to write about. I started this blog with the grand idea of helping other Church Techies out and that still remains – but I can only take it as far as my own experience and knowledge have reached. Equally, I may have gone through an experience but at the time of wanting to write it doesn’t spring to mind.
