Finally Version 7
Although I had few of the normal activities for the last few days, I have been kept busy mostly with other things. On Friday evening the ladies’ group came - the house has to be more than spotless when a dozen women come to visit. Then there was the teenagers’ meeting on Saturday afternoon, that indirectly kept me busy - since Pinuccia had to prepare the study, I had to look after the children more than usual. Immediately after that meeting we went out to the town band’s annual dinner. Then on Sunday, as well as the church service, there were volleyball and soccer matches organised by the church in a gymnasium in the afternoon, and then out for dinner with some friends from church.
But the major new thing is that finally I released today a major upgrade of my computer program to study the Bible. It was in fact a complete rewrite of the program, as the limitations of the previous version (that in some parts still reflected choices that I made in the first version that I wrote 12 years ago!) meant that it was becoming increasingly difficult to improve it. The rewrite took longer than I expected - almost two years - but that was due also to my having less time now than previously. I noticed that there was a sudden slow down in the writing of the program three months ago, which happens to coincide with Daniele’s birth. As the program does exist in English as well as Italian, if you want to see what I have done you can download it from http://www.laparola.net/program/ .
