I used to highlight and tag my books to death. Even now I still tag them a lot, but how can I find where I read this or that when I need it? The more I learned, the more I realized the potential of research, if only I could find it again later. I started tracking research on the computer.
My computerized system of tracking was primitive. It couldn’t grow as my research grew. Then at one of my jobs as an administrative assistant, I found the answer: a research database!
This wasn’t easy for me to create since usually such projects take a team of specialties to develop. That costs big bucks! Since 2016, however, I’ve been happy to have an introduction to my database on-line, and I have a professional friend/programmer who plans to get the first version on-line eventually.
Meanwhile my students are preparing the development documentation, and I’m mostly researching so I’ll have something to upload when the time comes.
I lost all my data 2-3 times due to the learning process and transitioning from one set of support people to students, to the next set of students. But like Jacob who wrestled with the angel until he got his blessing, I believe God will grant me the database on line eventually. I research with my database off line for now. I have a demo to show at Standard Entries (of old data that may now be “lost,” due to complications). But my online version is still being developed with hope for eventual completion!

This stuff is great! Check it out, about half an hour but real interesting

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted. I read this book recently & enjoyed it as much as Joachim Jeremias, which says a lot :)

I like AI (Artificial Intelligence) improving my pictures in my blogs, although I hope in the future it can improve them more. AI is recent technology & usually the 1st versions of anything improves with time. I never liked pictures of Jesus for a few reasons (i.e. accuracy is only 1 reason), but would like them better if his face was mostly hidden by the angle &/or his clothing. Yet I felt I needed pictures to display what my blogs were about. So I look forward to improving this in time.
So it turned out to be too much this year for my student to get my recent research database available online, we went back to the demo from up-to 2016 research again. Perhaps if I get 1-2 real good student next year it may be within reach now, but I'm content with researching off-line & with hopes my programmer/friend will find time to do it eventually.

Did you read your Bible lately?
