I've been searching for the best way to take Bible notes. It needed to have the following criteria:
- Be Digital / Search-able
- Cross Platform, Mac/PC/iPod
- Ideally something I can run on my own server and open source

What I found fits 2 out of 3, and is not bad. Evernote, www.evernote.com

In October 2008 I had the privilege of going to the Apple Reseller Technical Camp outside of Chicago.  Overall, it was a great week and very educational.  However, enough time has passed that the story can be told publicly.

I've used paid dynamic DNS services for years.  The original evansclan.org web and e-mail was hosted on servers I had in my home office.  I continued to pay for both the domain registration, as well as the dynamic services to point to a top level domain for years.  But, the rising costs of this "premium" service forced me to find a cheaper way.  I still have my own domain, and parts of it still point to my house network, but I don't pay the premiums.

Here in Part 2, we'll cover syncing your web server directory to an Ubuntu computer.
