Orkut has really cleaned house

Not too long ago the site would crash constantly, the search tool sucked, pages loaded way too slow. But now all that has changed. It's more or less what you would expect with the Google brand: fast, reliable, and friendly.

Now what we need is a Firefox plugin that can extract my myspace profile and insert it into Orkut and other social networks. Myspace still sucks by the way. Hopelessly faulty, annoying ads, slow pages, can't auto-resize photo uploads, just a dumb service all around. At least the Firefox Adblock will fix the ad problem for you.

If you need an invite to orkut email me at firstname@darianhickman.com.

He Googled my name and found my address. God Bless the Internet! The first two groups of students got back from their trips to Key West and Brazil this past Friday. Seeing how much these young people have matured spiritually gives me more confirmation that I'm in the right place. I can see the changes in attitude towards their faith and increased priority to follow Christ and it makes the 14 hour days worth the effort. Also Getting 90 minutes a day of prayer and reading is a lot easier than I thought it would be with our 14 hour days. Being in a community that supports that kind of thing is so awesome! I'm reading a great book called "Intercession: Thrilling ...
