What a fascinating person: Charles Freer Andrews (1871-1940). An English priest, educator and Indian freedom fighter. A close associate of Gandhi’s. Gandhi called him Christ’s Faithful Apostle. Get it? CFA — his initials. Much more on Andrews is here. Psalm 113:2-8 2Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time on and for evermore. [...]

May The One In Charge bless us this day, keep us from evil viruses, and bring us stable wireless connectivity. Amen. An excerpt from Sistertech’s The Book of Uncommon Prayer.

One of Sistertech’s early clients was a woman with a, shall we say, colorful past. When the client was a young girl she lived with her grandmother in Pasadena, CA. And who lived a few doors down? Relatives of Fanny Crosby. As best she can recall they were Crosby’s  nieces. Lovely women. The kind of [...]

Most people seem so distressed when confronted with “the law”. Why just today I overheard a client say that she was tired of her supervisor “laying down the law”. I could tell from the way she said it, that she did not take “the law” to be a good thing. The best I could do [...]

Sistertech is not about to tell you how old she is! Let’s just say I’ve been around the circuit boards a few hundred times. You’d think that with as much experience as I have people would listen more intently to my advice. Well, it really is not just my advice. I do speak for The [...]

Psalm 80 is filled with wonderful images: the shepherd, flock, the vine, the fruit. But the refrain that means the most to Sistertech appears in verses 3, 7, and 19: 3Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved. Those us in the tech industry know how sweet restoration is. Whether an [...]

On the day’s first access to the Internet O Lord, bless the Internet to our use, and us to your service; make us grateful for the blessings of broadband access, and mindful of the computing needs of others. Amen. – an excerpt from Sistertech’s The Book of Uncommon Prayer

Saint Michael, Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Hackers. May The One In Charge rebuke them, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of The One In Charge, thrust into hell N. [state name of the operating system [...]
