Summertime Greetings!

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Hello, BibleMemory.us members!

Summertime Fun

I hope you are enjoying your summers so far and have some great plans ahead.

We just got back from a fun weekend in upstate New York at a campground some friends are running called “Jesus Is Lord Park.” You can check out a little web site I did for them at: http://www.JesusIsLordPark.com. We really enjoyed ourselves, and if you like camping, you should pay them a visit! It’s located in the lovely Adirondack Mountains.

Thank you very much!

I wanted to thank some folks for mentioning this program on their blogs:

The Sullivans In The Big City
The Talbert Report

Thank you all for mentioning this program, I really, really appreciate it. And I also appreciate all you Pastors and others who are spreading the word about BibleMemory.us!

Virtual Spiritual Retreat

My fellow scripture memorization web pal, Phil Walker, is embarking on a 21 day “virtual” spiritual retreat. More information can be found at http://www.wordkeeping.com/.

Another vacation

We’re going away this weekend, too! We’re headed to Michigan for a family reunion at the <a href=”http://www.bavarianinn.com” target=”_blank”>Bavarian Inn</a>. If you email me with a request, don’t think I’m ignoring you- I’m not sure how quickly I’ll get to it or if I’ll have much internet access. I hope I will- I’m bringing my new Apple Macbook! New toys, gotta love ‘em!


New Program: Ephesians

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Hello Everyone,

I just uploaded a new program, the entire book of Ephesians!

If you want to try to memorize the book of Ephesians, just go to your profile and change your program.

Thanks to Kevin for supplying me all the references to the book.

I still have a number of custom programs to load for some folks out there, thanks for your patience. I worked over the weekend on an easy way for me to load up new programs, and that’s done now.

Thanks!


Greetings From Another Server

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

Hello, BibleMemory.us Members!

You may have noticed that we were down for a while on Saturday. I’ve moved the program to a different server. Sorry for the downtime- things like that are never easy, that’s for sure.

If you’re interested, we’re now running on IIS, ColdFusion 8.0, and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

This is a major change, since we were running on Apache, ColdFusion 5.0 (to my shame), and MySQL. Yeah, everything looks the same, but hopefully you’ll notice a speedier response to your web page requests from BibleMemory.us.

More speedups coming…

I added some things, not as much as I would have liked to, however:

- You can now change your own program

- You can choose to fill in your last day in one big text box, rather than in a bunch of little boxes.

- I made a bunch of changes behind the scenes so I can respond to folk’s requests quicker.

I’m still pondering how I can implement the number 1 request - to add text boxes throughout the week on the verse you’re learning: day 2 two boxes, day 3 more than 2, etc.

Please let me know if you come across any problems: robert@BibleMemory.us.

Thanks for hanging in there with me!  Thanks also to Chris, Cameron, Sam, and others who have made suggestions and offered coding help!  I’ll get to more of your requests and custom program requests now that this is done.

Robert
