ExalterNet: Good for the Spirit


This site is an assemblage of ethereal, esoteric, familial and personal insights, at least until I can populate this site with its intended content ... of much greater eternal value.

Beneath all that we claim of our collective knowledge, life is unequivocably an unfolding mystery and an immense challenge.
    To deny a supreme, merciful presence is to only further confound our earthly existence
and obscure us from our only reliable resource.

Andrew and His Family's Journey with Apert Syndrome. Our son's added life challenge, wrought from a wayward #10 chromosome at conception.
    Several surgeries and a bout with hearing loss, Andrew is behind in speech development but does amazingly well for having man-made fingers.
    He is approaching his third birthday in a few months, and several hurdles still lie ahead, but his spirits are markedly better and he enjoys life (except for not getting his way as much as he'd like).

FileMaker for Database Design
If you really need your data well organized,
and well designed,
then you really need
FileMaker Pro.
It's also one of the few database-development environments where you can really design the interface to your liking, and for multiple layouts and needs.

I have long advocated using Adobe Acrobat® as a proofing and distribution/workflow mechanism. I believe that I brought in a demo to an audience at my corporate employer as early as 1994. (Wasn't Acrobat first introduced to the market in 1993?) Corporate America didn't begin thinking about the Web until at least 1995. But people forget how valuable PDF is for the print and pre-press world. And those people who don't understand PostScript® or have page-layout programs . . .Distribute PDFs in print and over the Web
I might never finish everything on my "To-Do" list. Surely, it will outlive me.
    But until then, I will praise the Lord, hug my Bundle, change Androomeda's diapers and help make Linky happy.

    Whatever's possible.

The standard for Unix Geeks everywhere. Will Macophiles like me migrate to it when OSX requires that we appreciate this robust, legacy operating system?
The RGB version of Publish, a magazine for design and publishing. I miss that it has de-emphasized its original focus on print-based publishing, embracing the Internet, as if nobody else is currently doing that. (Your mother and toddler nephew both design Web sites for Fortune 500 companies, too? Doesn't everyone these days?)
    Another good choice for designers and publishers is Canada's Graphics Exchange online magazine.

I have been a customer of MacResQ for end-of-line, refurbed and used Mac hardware and software since 1998. Now I am an affiliate. If you want to see why, click on the MacResQ graphic.

My beginnings in the HTML world only date back to 1997 — at least in terms of hand-coding pages so I really knew what was happening beneath the browser-displayed surface. And this link actually represents a path to . . . "Tales from Vienna's Woods" (Apologies to Strauss, and not the printer.) ... one of the first sites that I built out of vanity and surprise birthday sitings.

  Therefore, for all who dare, enter the original iteration of home-wrapped HTML from Hazelnook, circa 1997 and beyond.Working feverishly on what I may never finish
My church has a Web presence, too. Guess who offered to make that possible? The site still isn't complete, but then again, what Web site really is? They all happen to be works-in-progress (not unlike those self-willed creations of God known as human beings...) And let's not forget the latest work-in-progress, a startup enterprise founded upon Grace.
