I'm currently a Linux engineer/admin for the daily grind, mostly RHEL. I use CentOS and Deb in my home lab. Use Arch and CoreOS on the regular too. Back in the day I was working with SLES, AIX, and Gentoo. Ubuntu is fun to dink around with.

I've had the issue several times. I think one of the DNS servers may be compromised. It's probably a round robin of several, so that's why it's intermittent.

It's just the next version after windows 8. They're offering a free upgrade and that's where that message came from.

Was obligated today into Grand Arcanum Council. Can't wait until AMD Day to see more!

If you're up for a challenge, give "The Secret Teachings of All Ages" by Manly P. Hall a read. Not strictly Masonic, but I found that it sufficiently schooled me on various esoteric, philosophical, and mystery schools which has greatly aided me in my Masonic studies. The size of the volume can...

Welcome Brother!

I agree. The royal master is one of my favorite esp if the long form soliloquy is given.

I certainly wouldn't call the Scottish rite a "party rite" by any stretch. I'm in both, but they both offer something different. The York Rite has a distinctly Blue Lodge feel to it up until the Knights Templar. The Scottish always feels more academic and esoteric centered to me. There are...

In that balloting situation, we use the box for the chapter and just show hands for council.

Had quite the full agenda last night at Chapter/Council. Both DDGHP and DDGM official visits, two 50 year award presentations, 4 committee-on-work certificate presentations, a YR College award presentation, graded opening/closing in both Chapter and Council, and balloting on new members. As HP...

I've seen it both ways. The G is the norm in the USA, but it is often found without it in Europe. It may just be a stylistic choice.

Excellent. Congrats! Even though being raised is awesome, it's a whole different experience viewing a Masters degree.

In regards to the TX lectures, I've begun referring to them as "lecture" vs "full form lecture". I feel like calling the regular lectures "short" does them an injustice, something I did not fully appreciate until testing for my A Esoteric Certificate. Plus, I've also found that by giving the...

We only have one form for proficiencies here so I guess you'd call it long form..

I divide it out and use my morning commute (every morning) to practice. Depending on officials visits, etc I focus on a specific area. For instance, I have both ddghp and ddgm visits for c&c on the same night next month (graded on opening & closing for each) so I've devoted all January for c&c...

I agree, I am HP and TIM this year and slated for WM next year and I'm finding that cutting your teeth in the East in C&C to be a very good experience.

The signatures needed for vouching aren't optional. Sounds like they are required by your jurisdiction. However, you are correct, it is fairly normal to hang around the Brothers and get to know them in lieu of knowing Masons. He probably keeps asking you in order to expedite your petition, not...

MWSA is just what it's called here. Been that way forever i guess. In regards to the site, I decided not to make it tied strictly to the MWSA, but rather the district itself and all associated groups too. Thus I went with the original domain of www.64th.org

Considering weapons in the lodge room came up this year at our grand communication, I had a chance to ponder this topic. I think if you consider what the lodge room is supposed to represent in the master lodge, you may see that carrying weapons there would be most inappropriate. That's my...

Hah true.
