Sleep Mode

Almost all modern laptop these days have the "sleep mode" function. It's called differently according to the O/S.

Sleep mode can go by many different names, including Stand By (Microsoft Windows), Sleep (Mac), and Suspend (Linux). When placed in this Sleep mode, aside from the RAM which is required to restore the machine's state, the computer attempts to cut power to all unneeded parts of the machine. Because of the large power savings, most laptops automatically enter this mode when the computer is running on batteries and the lid is closed. More

Most people today hardly shut down their laptops instead they have it on sleep mode to save power and faster reboot. Depending on laptops, I think shutting down & turning power on is quickly than coming back from sleep mode?

Anyway, haven't been touching about CLMC for quite a while now. Things have been rather quiet after the big news. Christmas is just around the corner, where it should be the busiest time of the year for Christians & churches, it just seems to be one of the quietness time of the year for us. Previously, there were talks of possible large bilingual celebration in the Melbourne Town Hall, Christmas Shoebox thingy, etc. However, it seems all just gone into smoke as usual. All talks, no actions?

Looking on the bright side, I heard they are organising or should I say looking for volunteers to help the Salvation Army to get donations for Christmas. It's good that something is being done but how many will actually get involved? 5? 10?

Wait a minute, what about the rest of the church members? I think only 1 small group is operating now, instead of the supposed 3. What's happening? Nobody cares? Nobody knew about it?

I smell lack of responsibilities here? Can't blame the new Zone Leader for it as he had just "taken office" plus, not officially announced yet! As far as I know, the previous Zone Leader has been reminded months before summer actually begun. I can't think of any good & reasonable excuse for letting such things happened except lack of responsibility. It's not too hard to understand why people wouldn't want to step up & fill the gap. Some even want to stay away from it.

When will our people learn about responsibilities and not just having the authority to act without responsibilities? How can we entrusted them with greater roles that demands more responsibilities? Is this what Christian leaders are? By God's mercy, we'll be forgiven so we have no fear or guilt for our wrongdoings? Or are we not doing anything because we didn't hear what God wanted us to do? *Hellooooooooo*

Some people might say this is summer period, so things do get a bit slow & slack. For me, it's not acceptable to just go with the flow, we must work against it especially if it's a bad flow. Let's just hope our "Sleep Mode" will wake up well when the time is right. Sometimes, my laptop will give me a blue screen of death after waking up! Hopefully we won't have to see that. However, our system is definitely not stable now, too many software crashes. :P

Fix it before it's too late. Be Responsible & Accountable.

The Victorian State Government made a mistake in predicting growth, causing massive transportation problems for the state. Now, Victorians are asked to be patience for another 6 years minimum for the West Gate Alternative to be built. Probably another 30 years before things get back to normal again.
