A number of years ago some friends and I started a company and produced an interactive software tutorial for learning to diagram in Greek. Tonight we are putting this software out for free for personal use. You can download it off of the Lexel Software website. I hope you find it useful.
Recently I asked one of the members of my Greek reading group (Nina) to do some digitization work for me. I started typing up Pseudo-Lucian's "The Ass" and have made some progress, but I haven't had enough time to make a lot. So, I decided to pay her to do it for me. She said she was interested but I don't really have her on a time frame, so I am not sure when it will be completed. When she is done I will, of course, share it with all of you.
Yesterday when I got home from work I had Adobe's Production Premium suite sitting on my desk. Yay! I needed a newer copy of Flash for a client, so I bought a package that had a lot of other goodies in it as well. I imagine the only ones I'll be using extensively are Photoshop (web design), Flash (web), Illustrator (drawing) and Soundbooth (for the podcast).
It's random thought time!
While I was in hurricane land, I did take some time to read. After all, you have to put down the chainsaw every once in a while. I finished Whose Bible Is It? by Jaroslav Pelikan. At first I was a little disappointed, but then I realized that it was aimed more at the beginner, so I settled in and enjoyed the book. I did learn some things, so it was worth reading. This is also the first book by Pelikan that I have read, and I may just have to read another one some day. If you are interested in how the Old Testament/Tanakh and the New Testament were formed, including how both were read and used, you may find it interesting.
The other day I said I was going to be coding like a maniac and not posting too much this week. That has turned out to be true. But, like I said, I was working on something that you, dear reader, would find interesting. So what is it?
So I just updated the site. This site is run on custom code that I wrote in ASP.NET, C#, and Sql Server 2005. That way, if I want a feature, then I can add it and don't have to wait on someone else. This time comes one major feature.
I found Tauber's presentation on his approach to a graded reader very interesting. You can view a presentation like what he did at Bibletech 2008 here.
