Good News

The primary source of Good News deals with the Good News itself, the gospel. In the course of the tent meeting, let's see, I think it was six baptisms and three publicly announced restorations. More Good News has been happening after the tent, too. Sheesh. The most recent new addition (Acts 2:38,41,47) is a former "Jehovah's Witness" (Watchtower Witnesses I call 'em) among other things, so he's happy to come door knocking this coming Saturday. Which, by the way, I don't want to add door knocking to the Calendar yet because I'm not sure how unique or regular this'll be after this weekend. Hopefully, it'll be regular.
I mentioned last time my friend and the awkwardness and the potential for good, bad, or neutral results. If I had to say results were neutral, I'd certainly say we're on the good side of neutral.
Good news! I left MySpace! Whoo-hoo! heeheeheehee
In other .. um .. news, my poor little Calculator. I was ready to post in this update that I was through with it. I started revamping visuals when I realized I needed to start most of my revampment from scratch; I downloaded and installed Gimp and everything. But then about that same day, I found a horrible, horrible bug, pretty much by accident, that affected the ones place. Not way down in the decimal structure, but right there in the whole numbers! Not good. I knew right then that I either needed to construct functions to handle each and every digit individually (no way) or just scrap it, holding onto it as not much more than a nifty souvenir. However! Just today, I used it again and realized that the one problem seems to have come specifically from working addition/subtraction with an ending decimal of 49. That makes sense. My hypothesis that GML is based on C/C++ seems consistent with this continual rounding issue. Rounding a .5 has about a 50/50 shot of going up or down; for example, one of the most high-tech machines in my entire occupational real-world-job workplace has the same issue with a decimal ending in 5. But! At any rate, since this isn't just some arbitrary bug for which I had no idea how it happened, but is instead again based upon an understandable (if yet silly) rounding problem, I might be able to fix this after all. I'm trying to avoid spaghetti code, but my nice layers of lasagna might have to be sliced up a little more for this. "If numbers have this stupid ending here, then do this other function {in addition to, in place of} the normal function." Maybe someday I'll return to that and try to fix it. Not today, though.
Oh yeah, got to hang out with my earthly sister this past week. That's cool.
Good news: Dead Sea Scrolls.
Ack! Almost forgot! So yeah, about my Q'n'A that I just figured I'd have done for this update. Yeah. No. See, in the last week or so, I decided to scrap pretty much everything I have, starting with the format, (ja really,) which will incorporate a Links page, killing two keese with one boomerang. As such, I want to try to have that done next month, but it might take two. Links are harder for me to do without that whole Internet connection thing. However, I wouldn't be too surprised if I change that by the end of this year, too. Hmmmmmmmmmm.
