Attached below you will find version 1.0 of my Simple Timeline Starter for Logos Libronix 3.x... Please backup any timelines you have before using this, just in case...

It requires .Net Framework 1.x to be installed. I only tested tested this on Windows XP and Vista, but it should work on any OS that supports .Net framework.

Also attached in the source code... I did this in VB.Net 2003, then upgraded to 2005. Feel free to improve the code, add features, etc... All I ask is you send copies to me so I can roll them in to the master copy... (Credits will be added to the About page as needed...)

Now to finish building timelines of the kings in the Northern kingdom....

God Bless,

John

I know I haven't posted much of late, but I have been busy... Here are some screen shots of a tool I hope to release later this summer (along with the source code.) I'm still working on some simple issues like removing the XML extensions from titles and some error checking, but it is mostly working...

It is NOT an editor, but a tool for creating new timelines and adding events to existing ones... It does not support Event Groups or Hyperlinks at this time...

It does support multiple forms of dates (YYYY, cYYYY, -YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, etc.) It also allows for limited Description support.

Anyway, here are some screen shots:

Time just published 12 peoples' predictions of what Israel will be like in 60 years...

It appears none of the chosen "prophets" see God's hand in the future, even from an exclusively OT perspective...

Still, what do YOU think Israel will be like?

I think the Lord's Day is coming much, much sooner than that, but if it does not come before then, I think there will be a hostle state (war?) between Israel and the rest of the world (including the USA)... I think it will be a dark time for all the world, and they wll be looking for someone to blame for it... I don't think Israel will get nuked, but I could see them literally going into captivity again...

KINGS -- "Kings" is an exploration of the timeless David-versus-Goliath struggle. The show is set in a modern metropolis under siege, where the fighting has gone on for too long and cost far too many lives. When David Shepherd (Christopher Egan, "Resident Evil: Extinction"), a brave young soldier, rescues the king's (Golden Globe winner Ian McShane, "Deadwood") son from enemy territory, he sets events in motion that will finally bring peace. David is thrust into the limelight, earning the affections of women -- including the king's daughter. When he's promoted to captain, he becomes the reluctant poster boy for hope. But for David, the line between his allies and enemies will blur as the power players in the kingdom go to great lengths to see him fall. Sebastian Stan ("Gossip Girl") also stars. "Kings" is a production of Universal Media Studios; Michael Green (NBC's "Heroes") is the executive producer. Francis Lawrence ("I Am Legend") is the director and executive producer and Erwin Stoff ("I Am Legend") also is executive producer.

I have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed again with NBC... (Anyone remember the Noah adaption they did?) Thoughts anyone?

I'm disappointed... I was hoping to attend Camp Logos II this year, but can't go due to time conflicts... Still, I am learning quite a bit by writing for and teaching the NoVA Logos Users group, plus my own personal bible studies using the software...

I find it just amazing how deep into an original language study I can go, without actually knowing the languages, yet be confident I am learning... (You can see some of what I have learned and taught in the tutorials posted here: ( http://groups.google.com/group/logos-connections-springfield-va-usa/web/... ) It even may encourage me to learn them... :) [Oops, just noticed the links on the other site aren't all working... I will contact the Group manager and try to get things updated this week...]
