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

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.

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.

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