Over the past month I've had the opportunity to learn about the incredibly feature-rich GUI application framework Qt (http://www.trolltech.com). I have specifically become acquainted with the Python implementation of the toolkit through Mark Sommerfield's excellent "GUI Programming with Python and Qt" (http://www.qtrac.eu/pyqtbook.html). In brief, for those interested in either technologies I highly recommend this book as a resource. Not only does the book comprehensively cover PyQT, but it also covers the Python language in a most delightfully concise manner.

In a turn of events, the project decided to re-focus the user interface to a web-app using Django rather than a fully-featured application using PyQt. Initially I was incredibly frustrated with the sudden change in direction but after the Spirit's guidance I realized that I was simply worrying over silly things. Moreover, I could still use this skill set if I wanted to.

For some time I've thought about making some of my code available or participate in an open source project. Although I would love to participate in some open source project, I do not think that I have the available cycles between family, church, work, school, and so on. So although I doubt that it will make any huge impact, I will likely begin releasing small snippets of source code or other uninteresting things I discover on this blog. I can't promise that everything will always be interesting or spectacular but I'll do my best.

Ever find a good resource that's likely existed for a good long time? My friend Jonathan just showed me http://www.monergism.com. Here I can possibly begin to satisfy my interest in Christian Apologetics.

Thank you Jesus =]

Lately I've begun to become concerned with apologetics, especially presuppositional apologetics. Only a few paragraphs into study, and I can already see interesting arguments between Evidentialists and Presuppositionalists. I'm very much looking forward to borrowing a series from a friend that better explains this than Wikipedia :-)
