Miscellaneous computer work
At the moment there is the second half of a rarity: two nights off during the week (that is excluding Sundays). Usually the maximum is one, which I guard jealously to at least have some time with the family. But the way the church programs work out, every eight weeks I get both Thursday and Friday free. (Although occasionally I do get bonus nights, when a Bible study meeting is not held because of lack of people, a public holiday or other reasons.) I’ve taken advantage of these nights to get some non-deadlined computer work done, for example creating a search engine for Italian Evangelical web sites, looking into ways for people to insert the Italian Bible text on my site into their sites, and doing some work on the site of a friend involved in another ministry in Italy.

[…] This is one of the exceptions to getting one night free a week, as I mentioned last week. Today is a public holiday, so I have both today and tomorrow night free. Public holidays used to be a bit of a nuisance to me, as it didn’t change much except I was able to do less because the shops were changed. Having a family though changes things a bit… Since Pinuccia was at home all day as well, we did some decorating the house together, took Stefania to the park (probably the last time for a few months - it is getting too cold), and will watch a movie tonight (at least that is the plan, it depends if Stefania lets us). I did get a few things done for myself however, in particular fixing up the second last problem before I release the next beta version of my Bible program. I haven’t been able to do much programming at all lately (as I do it in the time left over from church commitments and preparation, with has become a lot less with Stefania taking priority as well), but know that I have got a few weeks ahead in my preparation I hope to do a bit more now.
