my reflection on your last comment...because it challenges the very way we ''do'' life...by defining ourselves by what we BELEIVE we give ourselves real or imagined boundaries that others can then judge or evaluate. ouch.
CS Lewis'' bold statement about being a spiritual being with a body rather than a human being with a spirit is true...but it stands on the head of how most of us operate in life.

My pleasure. Feel free to give us a call and we can give you more information on the migration. Most everyone who has switched loves the increased speed and functionality of MySQL.

I didn't realize that C&P had the auto shutdown function when I did the crontab solution. The MySQL may be a good idea as we're doing some other infrastructure changes to linux in the near future - thanks for the tip.

Good solution, though I'll mention a couple others. First, C&P has an automatic shutdown function for this very reason. Second, if you switch to a MySQL database, then backups can be taken with users still in. Many shops do this and take multiple backups during the workday. There's no additional cost for either of these.

I also use Skitch as my screenshot utility. It's so easy to use and share screenshot with others.

I am like you Jonathan except that I cannot sincerely be part of any church. I am still "swimming alone" in life and guided by a "goal" to be as accepting of other people's convictions as I possibly can, except when it is against "natural" law, or makes judgment over one person’s right(s) to the detriment of another.

But then the definition of personhood is another difficult subject and much controversy is among purist pro-lifers and judicious abortion rights defenders.

A secularist would define personhood of a human being starting at the moment of conception, (interestingly they agree in this with religion indoctrinated fanatics). I disagree; for everything living can be defined as such, except human beings, who even at birth don't have a personhood.

Humans are creatures that are not defined exclusively by their DNA programming,(other than their physical attributes) but learn and decide to act one way or another. Once they lived for about a decade or so they start to define themselves as persons. Even that is not the final person at the end of the "stream", but the general course does start to crystallize into personhood.

To call abortion “murder” (especially in the embryonic stage at which point the “person” cannot survive outside its mother’s womb”) is wrong, because by such definition harvesting of plants or slaughtering of animals are “murder” too.

Even though I follow the teachings of Christ, most Christians consider me to NOT be a “Christian”, and so I no longer call myself that.

think insurance adjusters, roofing contractors, and census takers

It's too expensive and probably too fragile for those markets. A cheaper and ruggedized competitor will win there.

So how much of Tolstoy's late stuff have you read?

Jonathan! I just read the CNN timeline and was a little taken back that they didn’t mention THE ORIGINAL CNN.com team. After writing to CNN reminding them of the original team headed by Harry, Scott and the rest of the team, including you, I started doing online searches and found this page!

I have always had kind memories of you and how we all rode that roller coaster of ups and downs while building CNN Interactive.

I hope all is very well with you as it is for me. I live in Florida with my dear husband very happy doing freelance on the side to still utilize that side of my brain although no longer heavily involved in Internet technologies.

I will continue reading now to see what you are up to but couldn’t wait to send you my best regards!

You need to get busy. A "Hello World" post? That's it?
