			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are several utilities that I find I just cannot live without on my Mac.  Near the very top of the list is <a href="http://growl.info">Growl</a> and GrowlMail.  Unfortunately, GrowlMail has this unfortunate habit of being automatically disabled every time I do a system update.  Yesterday&#8217;s release of 10.6.2 was no exception.  Thankfully there are others like me who find it impossible to live without and have figured out how to get it running again.  If you&#8217;re having the same problem, you can find some simple instructions <a href="http://langui.sh/2009/11/09/fixing-growlmail-letterbox-for-mail-4-2/">here</a>.  It got me back up and running in no time.</p>

<p>If you find that running those commands does not work for you, go to either <code>/Library/Mail/</code> or <code>~/Library/Mail/</code> and see if you have a &#8220;Bundles (Disabled)&#8221; folder with the GrowlMail bundle in it.  If so, quite Mail, move it back into the &#8220;Bundles&#8221; folder, run the commands again (with the proper path), and then re-open Mail.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Lord works in mysterious ways.  Four weeks ago, while trying to finish up an assignment for my Personal Assessment and Intro to Ministry class, I was suddenly struck with a series of realizations that threw me once again into the whirlwind of change.  To make a long story short, I have accepted a position at Apple and will be starting on November 30th.</p>

<p>As a result of this I have decided to withdraw from Trinity.  I have truly loved my time here and have met some truly wonderful people.  They will be particularly hard to leave behind even though I have only been here a short time.  But I came to realize that my true passions lie in the development and use of technology.  Through the near-constant urging of one of my best friends, Marshall, who works at Apple, I decided to submit an application for an open position in his department to see if God would open the doors.  And open the doors He did.  In less than 5 weeks, I have gone through the application, two phone interviews, an in-person interview at Apple&#8217;s campus in California, and finally an offer, which I accepted today.  I am super excited about this opportunity that God has all but dropped in my lap.</p>

<p>So I begin a new phase of life and I am super excited.  Through God&#8217;s unsearchable will and incomparable grace, I have the opportunity to once again work with one of my best friends at one of the best companies in the world, working on <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/">the most awesome piece of tech in this generation</a>.  For the next few weeks I will be working on packing up my apartment in preparation for the movers and should be in California just before Thanksgiving.</p>

<p>I want to especially thank everyone who has been praying for me throughout this whole process.  I have been so blessed by all your support and can say with confidence that your prayers have been answered.  Please continue to pray with me as I make this transition; that all the details and logistics will proceed smoothly, that I can find a place to live, and that I can find a church that I can get plugged into.</p>

<p>I will continue to keep you all updated as things progress.</p>

<p>Cheers!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.n8mellis.net/files/2009/09/logos-128.png" alt="logos-128.png" border="0" width="128" height="128" align="left" /> I recently bought <a href="http://www.macbiblesoftware.com/">Logos Bible Software for Mac</a>.  It comes with an impressive (albeit expensive) collection of material.  Since it has now earned a permanent spot on my Dock, I wanted an icon that looked nicer than the one it comes with.  Logos has a special icon for the Mac product on their website, but for a reason that completely escapes me, they do not include it with the package.  </p>

<p>In searching around, however,  for an alternative icon, I found a nice one <a href="http://www.stilltruth.com/blog/parkernathan/logos-mac-icon">here</a>, but didn&#8217;t like that it was transparent in the middle.  After some photoshop magic, I made the center part white so that it looks nice and pretty on my Dock. </p>

<p>You can download the icon <a href="http://n8mellis.net/files/LibronixFinderIcon.zip">here</a>.  To make this the default icon, unzip the file, go to your Applications folder and right click on the Libronix DLS app bundle and click &#8220;Show Package Contents.&#8221;  Open the Resources folder and put this file in there, overwriting the existing file.  You may need to log out and back in again for the changes to take effect.  Note: you will probably have to repeat this process every time you update the Libronix DLS app.</p>

<p>Enjoy!</p>
