I like talking about John and dreams also, but I can see that others do not have same interests that I do. No place to rest my head.

I need to work more on programming and music.

See, Lord, I am not a teacher, am I?

Best wishes,

Good luck with your programming.

You seem to be more of a lateral thinker with lots of creativity.

The code you write is probably a work of art.

When I code, everything has to look good. I suppose only a true programmer can appreciate how coding is formatted so that it looks beautiful.

Yup, Revelator, I am a lateral thinker and creative. I once started a study of the English alphabet in conjunction with the Hebrew, Greek, Latin and German alphabets. To my surprise, the English alphabet is heavily tied in with the Hebrew and their Tree-of-Life. I actually learned alot from this. I really ought to finish it. However, as you say, most people don't think like I do. Its a pretty specialized study.

Best wishes,

St. Cheez

Hi St. Cheez

It's combining the creative information into some practical format which is most useful. You have the potential to create something unique with your programing if you remain outside the boundaries of "normal" thinking and try everthing out.

I'd be interested if you have any original projects in mind with your programming.

Hi Revelator,

That is true. I think I will not have any problems there. I do not think that people will accuse me of dregging up old ideas which have been done already. Yes, in that sense, I hope my creative stuff will be interesting. You never can say for sure.

I am interested in presenting multimedia with heavy emphasis on music. I am not interested in having people downloading songs one-by-one as is done done now-a-days. I would like to try something different. When I get it done, I would be glad to share it with you. And, I believe that I have enough weird ideas on many subjects which I hope people will appreciate along with the music. For now, Blitz Basic should do the trick, even though I do have other programs like Multimedia Fusion which produce multimedia fairly easily.

As far as presenting religious ideas, I am not certain yet. I do not feel strongly in that direction. Maybe later. Oh, I am not too keen on games, because they really involve alot of work for one person.

Well, thats about it which is probably more than enough for now.

Thanks for asking and best wishes,

St. Cheez

Sounds interesting.

Presenting multimedia with heavy emphasis on music - I like that.
How does blitzbasic go with music? Does it support mp3 files? I know that Darkbasic does.

Please check out my latest article (Guide 5 by Revelator under Christian Articles) I have upgraded the look by 100%. I only have flash 3, if I had the later versions then it would be even more interactive.

Tell me what you think - I would appreciate your feedback. (I am more interested of what you think about in the overall look and feel rather than content)

Maybe you should check out learning how to use flash for multimedia presentations on the net?

When you answer this, please don't use the "Quotes" unless necessary. I know what you are referring to in your response.

Hi Revelator,

Yes, built-in. It plays many different music file formats. That was the main reason I bought it. I have read alittle on Dark Basic, and it sound good also.


I would not mind getting Flash also, but am yet convinced to spend $400 for it. Well, I think that was the price. But, from what I have heard it is a great product.

Your multimedia presentation is great and well planned. The interface fits just within the monitor screen. As you probably know the browser interface at the top takes up alot of valuable space, even the title of the page. From what I have heard, if the user has to scroll the page to read the page, they won't. Your interface fits just right. I like the pictures at the top. Your writing is very good. You have many stories which appeal to the heart and emotions which I think is important. You present the problem, then lay out the answer, which in this case is YHSVH. I noticed that you mentioned that he was God-God, but emphasized that he lived a real, flesh-and-blood life with temptations and trials but overcame the world, thus people should be able to relate to him. I noticed that you asked who he was, and seemed to stress the "I am". I could be wrong here, but I feel the name "I am" he used for himself is important also. Thats why I was upset to find out that people in Jehovah Witness covered this up, because they disagreed with the it for some reason. I feel people should not do that whether they agree with it or not. I liked how you emphasized the way of love and self-sacrifice which YHSVH lives. I was very impressed with your writing and it did touch my heart.

I believe that you should continue doing what you are doing and that you are doing God's work.

Yup, I can't seem to win on this issue. Some people do not care, and some folks are highly offended by the use of quotes. The internet is a trip. People on the net have already adopted their own language of sorts. Writing at is a poor way of communicating with others. People do not really get the total experience. In that sense, in trying to influence others, its somewhat limited.

Hi St Cheez.

Thanks for the encouragement.

The flash presentation does only just fit on this website. I am only using this website to test it out and get some feedback before I launch my own site which will have more screen space and will look good at even 800x600.

I didn't write the content for the study, I just took it off another site and reformated as it should look. I have yet to ask for their permission for copyrite, but I don't think it will be a problem since they are a part of my church.

With the quotes - You are right: everyone has their own idea of how to use them.

For me they are only necessary if you are referring to a post that isn't the just above yours, or if you are arguing some point.

But the use of quotes lately has been way overdone I think - it makes it very hard to read, especially when you quote a quote that's been quoted before (he he he).

Have a good day.

You are right. Sometimes, the quotes make for hard and long reading. When people would start complaining, then I would try quotation marks, high lighted, etc. However, it may also come-off argumentative, so I should maybe use it less.

Yes, I highly encourage you to continue with your multimedia presentations. I wondered sometimes how to get some idea on how people respond to presentations. One guy used a remarks section. Some sights use ratings. For me, that would be interesting. How many people took the trouble to look at the presentation, and how did they respond to it if at all. Feedback really does help esp. on the net.

Best wishes,

St. Cheez

Yeah - that is a good way to get feedback.

I have modifed the presentation (not on this site yet) so that each presentation needs a special code for you to view it. (except the first one ofcoarse) You are given the code to the presentation at the end of the previous one. This way you have to progress through the guides in the correct order.

At the end of each guide they are sent to a unique html page with the code for the next one. It is here that I will have an area where they can put comments.

I know this will bug some people not being able to view any guide the choose in whatever order they want - but at least this way they will have the correct background when we tackle the prophesies in Revelation.


Thanks

Revelator!
