Technology | Bryan McGee: Carpe Diem Coram Deo

I’ve needed to say this for a while. I just haven’t had the guts to deal honestly. I would prefer to talk to you in person, but you always want our relationship to be out in the public eye. So, here goes…

I feel like you are monopolizing my time. The constant texts about what everyone is doing is getting to be a bit much. It is really hard to concentrate when my phone keeps dinging. I really like you and I want to know what’s happening with all of our friends. I just think we need to slow down a little bit. I want to know what is going on in the world and I want you to know what is happening with me, too.

Here is what I need to ask of you. Please don’t text me anymore. I will check in with you several times a day. I promise. I’ll still let you know the funny things that happen with me. I’m sorry. But, we just can’t keep texting like this.

When I am alone with my wife and kids, I need to focus on them. When I am in a meeting, it is important that I not get distracted. This isn’t about you as much as it is about me. I need to refocus. I hope you understand. I still like you a lot and want to hang out.

If you want to know what I’m doing, you can still follow me around. I’ll be hanging out HERE.

I hope we can still be friends…

An amazing day already

Here is what has happened so far today.

Our new 10 bay CD duplicator and full color CD printer arrived. Our media center is about to go to a whole new level.
We made the decision to initiate some major systems changes. Over the next 3 months, we are going to see some significant improvements in how we support our ministries and interact with our church family.
We had an amazing lunch with Jeff, Daryl, Tiffany, Drew, Brad and Dave from Lifepoint. I love what God is doing through their church. It was cool to see our teams interacting together.
This comes on the heels of Carolyn and I having coffee yesterday with Mike from PC3. PC3 has on 10-11 more services until they move into their new building. That’s awesome.
I made arrangements to do some promotion for a very big announcement coming soon. God is doing something huge at The ROCK. Not in the future. He’s doing it right now.
Matthew helped Jen out today on the murals going in down the hall. A big part of the hallway is now blue. It’s exciting. WOOOHOO!
Connecting with someone later today about some big vision things. If you cannot sense the intensity, your spidey sense is a little off.
During lunch today, Jeff spoke to our staff (I didn’t give him any forewarning) and it was powerful and right on time for us. I love getting around guys that have big vision and are idiots for God. Thanks for hanging out with us today.
I gotta get back to work. I can’t play Halo all day like some churches… Hey, somebody just shot me with a rubber band.

Yes, I’m a digital pack rat

Today, my computer decided it had enough of me and my over-abundance of files. During our creative meeting a message popped up telling me I was at a life-threatening, dangerously low level of available hard drive space.

WHAT?!?!?!

I have a 100GB hard drive. This is not possible. When I looked, it said I had 0 available megabytes of space. You read that right… 0.

Then I looked at the My Documents folder. There were a lot of files there but nowhere near enough to shut my computer down. My computer was gasping for air and I had to do something fast…

Finally, I found the culprit. I keep a folder on my desktop called, interestingly enough, Desktop Poo. It is not a shortcut to a network drive. It is just a dumping ground to keep my desktop uncluttered. Like this…
