Back with new feature... [message #173]

I've added a new feature which should be nice for those who have a rss feed reader enabled browser.

I use the Opera Browser http://www.opera.com which has a built in reader. This allows me to set up websites that offer the rss/xml feed. The advantage is that you don't need to go to the website to read the new messages that are posted but they are "fetched" every few hours (or however often you want the messages to be checked) and placed in my mail reader. There should be a link included with every message you receive which will take you to the message if you want to reply.

It's a very handy feature for busy people! You don't need to surf the web for content--it is delivered to you!

I've got a couple of posts that I want to respond to, but it has been a busy week thus far and I haven't had the opportunity to get to them. (We just got dsl in our area so this should make a big difference in our own online time!)

I don't mean to imply that you need opera to use the xml/rdf feed... IE may have a reader (I'm guessing it does) but I don't use IE that much. My main computer is Linux and Opera is the best choice for Linux (imo). My other business computer is windows-based but I rarely use it for the internet.

Mark, if you are reading this, I'd like to try out the paltalk(?) thing... I gather that it only works with windows so I'll need to download the program and give it a try. I'll also need to make sure I have a soundcard in the business computer. Since we got dsl there are a lot of things I want to try! I've got the whole house wired (8 computers) on a peer to peer network and we've all been sharing, believe it or not, a 28k dialup connection. Yay, for dsl!

Anyway, if you would like to post any of the schedules, please do.

Hi William,

You need to go to www.paltalk.com. Download the software and setup a username and password. An icon will be created on your desktop. Click on it and you will be in the program. Scroll down to the Christianity category and you will see the rooms that are currently open.

I will post you the link in a PM. I have my reasons why, which I will explain there.

God bless

Thanks Mark, I was able to successfully install the paltalk software and logged into a meeting that was almost over. My audio stopped after about 10 minutes so I may need to make some adjustments. Everyone was gone after I rebooted, but I'm going to try to catch another one this week.

My mom was hospitalized over in Mississippi and I spent the day over there and will probably go back tomorrow (Sunday).

She was instrumental in introducing me to brother Freeman back in the 70's, but for a number of years she hasn't mentioned anything about that period in her life... until today. She asked if I could bring her some of "Hobart's tapes"! We found a few that will still play without dragging so I'm going to take them to her.

I believe that she is recalling that time in her life and remembers it as a time of blessing.

Blessings,

William

Hi William,

You can find a list of Brother Freeman's messages on the website that I gave you. The messages are digitized so now you can get them either as a single audio message which will play anywhere, or you can have them done in MP3, which will hold about 25 messages, depending on the length of the message. That may be of interest to you. You will find that the quality of the digitized messages to be much better than the cassettes.
Bro. Joe Breeneman has done a wonderful job doing them.

I hope that your mother is doing better. I will be praying for her.

God bless

Mark

Thanks for your prayers Mark, I really appreciate it.

Looks like this is going to be another banner week. I've got piles of work stacked up on my desk but I'm going to make some time to answer a couple of Hombre's posts. I've been saving up my comments since he stirred me up with his "Christian chauvinist" post.

ttyl,
William
