All of this information is available in different files, but I couldn’t find it all in one place, so I’m going to post it. If nothing else, I can come back to this post when I forget it myself. On multi-author blogs I often want to provide author and category feeds as well as the…
I’m a bit eccentric and don’t use the visual editor with WordPress on this blog and several others that I maintain. For a number of posts I write my basic material in OpenOffice Writer and then post it. Up to now I have added the formatting by hand, but today I decided to write myself…
I wanted to promote this comment to a post to make sure it’s noticed: BibleDesktop has been released with parallel Bible viewing. There is an option to show the differences between any two versions of the Bible in the same language. That was one of the key things I wanted, and I’m glad to see…
Having never been a Mac user, I’m not sure just how happy I should be that Safari has been released for Windows. Nonetheless, being the experimenter and lover of free software that I am, I’m using it to make this entry and to spread the word that it’s available. If I see good reason to…
In my previous post on sorting a scripture index, I used a rather lousy way of telling where the index was in the document. This came back to bite me today when I changed the number of references to a scripture index in a manuscript. In order to avoid this, use the following code instead….
Ref: A TGraphic Descendant for TIFFs I seem to have left a file out of the projects for this, though I know of a few people who have used it, and I can’t figure out just how. It’s possible that in moving files from one server to another I uploaded older zip files and thus…
[Note to readers–this is not about programming. This is about e-mail management for those who are a bit shaky with the computer.] There’s an interesting article in the Washington Post about e-mail, and the way it’s getting the better of many people. As a disorganized person who has trouble with correspondence in any case, I…
This is an interesting article. I wonder if he’s right. I dislike Microsoft quite a lot, and generally I see this as one more reason. It would be nice, of course, if they became an ally on the patent issue as Shuttleworth suggests. In software patents have definitely become the enemy of innovation.
Well, here I am playing around with my new Ubuntu machine again, and being a Bible teacher and writer, I obviously want Bible software on any machine I’m running. A little effort found me the Sword Project, and it’s related materials. I intend to try out GnomeSword, and I’ll write about it when I do,…
Since I often upgrade, trade, or even occasionally build new machines, I pick up spare parts on many of the deals by allowing people some credit for usable older parts. I did really well on such a deal yesterday, and built the machine I’m typing this on from the results, with spares still lying around….
