I recently saw a comment asserting that “people lie, but numbers don’t lie.” This should be put up against this: “There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.” Numbers indeed don’t lie. They’re just numbers, but like “guns don’t kill, people kill” (though they often do it more efficiently with...
Happenings
For Gamers and Graphics Folks
Here’s a laptop that will run just about anything you need. I have two clients who have these. One uses three external monitors plus the internal one while not on the road. Make sure to get enough RAM. You’re unlikely to have problems with hard disk space. (Featured image...
A Simple Video with #AdobeSpark
This was about a 15 minute project. Nothing exciting in the way it’s set up, but getting a simple thing like this ready in that short a period of time is one of the great values of Adobe Spark. I have Creative Cloud, so can get more sophisticated (within...
WP-CLI Issue with VPS
If you don’t know what that means, you’re not interested in this post! 🙂 I installed wp-cli on my development server in the office, and while I’m still in the learning process, it is already quite helpful. Creating a framework for a plugin or block, for example, is great....
Using Things as Intended
I’m typing this post using my iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard. It’s a rather nice little keyboard, that fits in my suitcase. It also has a touchpad built in. When I use my Galaxy Note 9 with Dex, I use the touchpad as well as the keyboard. With the...

At Energion – 03.26.19
Note: As of December, 2017, I combined what I had treated as two businesses, so Neufeld Computer Services is now fully part of Energion Publications. I maintain this separate site to use for more technical information. This is the first of my “At Energion” videos. I recorded this yesterday...
On Breaking Up Tech Companies
I try to stay away from politics, and will definitely stay away from advocating for or against parties or candidates, but sometimes—quite frequently in fact—politics and technology impact one another. And don’t even mention my other activities in religion! I read a post today calling for a breakup (perhaps)...
Using Social Media Wisely
Twenty years ago, I might have told someone to refuse to listen to gossip, and to check any stories they did hear carefully. “You need to get to the source,” I would say. There’s a reason that Paul puts gossip on so many sin lists: It can tear up...
Link: CSNTM Using Multispectral Imaging on a Papyrus Manuscript
I always love it when my lifelong involvement with technology meets my area of formal training, as in the post Manuscripts Digitized at Southern Methodist University from the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts. One of the more interesting—and completely invalid—arguments regarding the text of the New...
