HELLO,
Dear
Family Members, Friends
and Visitors,
The Christmas season is
over and we have all returned to work. Some of us here have to work hard to
reduce the fat built up during the celebrations season and to
start implementing the
resolutions we made for the new year. One of our resolutions is to UPDATE
this site quarterly. We made that resolution before but were unable to keep
it up. There is no harm trying again and so here we are with the updates is for the first quarter
of the year.
1. WE ARE STILL AT TRIPOD.COM
As we have not been able to
resolve our login problems at TRKHosting, we have gone ahead to develop the
site at Tripod. So, please continue to look for us there. The address is https://oloruntoba0.tripod.com/index.html.
In fact, the site at TRKHosting may soon
be deleted because our payments have expired. We want to repeat that our login problem at TRKHosting
is not the fault of the host but that of our local ISP who is still unable
to resolve it. Fortunately, the adverts in our free
Tripod site are family friendly and not obtrusive.
2. OUR
PHOTO GALLERY
Our
re-designed photo gallery is delightful as some of you have reported. We
encourage both visitors and family members to view some the amazing photos
from the family albums posted there. More...
3. THE CHRISTIAN FORUM
The latest addition to this forum
is the Message to the English Service of my Church on February 12, 2006.
Topic: Son, Your Sins Are Forgiven.
This is the story of the paralytic healed by Jesus in Mark 2:1-12. The
Paralytic came to Jesus to be healed. He got the forgiveness of his sins,
the healing he wanted and above all, the Son-ship of God because of his
faith. We are all paralytics spiritually but we too can get these things if
we have faith.
3. ARTS
AND CULTURE
We have a "new"
section dubbed "Reflections in Cartoons"
to house
permanently, copies of the cartoons produced by Bunmi Oloruntoba when he was
the Editorial Cartoonist for The Guardian newspapers in 2000-2001. These
cartoons continue to appear as fillers in the Chuckles Page containing the
weekly Guardian cartoons. Bunmi's cartoons are commentaries on contemporary Nigerian
economic, social and political issues. Since these issues are still very
much with us, the cartoons are not outdated. No wonder, they enjoy being used
as fillers four to five years after the author left the newspaper.
6. OUR SOFTWARE DISCOVERIES
In the last update, we shared with
you two of our software discoveries namely, FreeNote - a virtual
yellow note sticker and Gadwin PrintScreen - a screen
capturing software.. We have two more of our
discoveries in this update. They are: EditURLs and e-Sword.
(1)
EditURLs is a Free browser tool that
provides the user with the capability to edit individual URL or addresses in
Internet Explorer's Address Bar. These addresses are also referred to as
"Typed URLs". This is an indispensable tool for keeping your address bar
clean.
(2)
e-sword is an amazing Bible study freeware. We have been looking for a
simple, cheap
and effective Bible study software for a long time. We tried many that were found
through search engines, but they were unsatisfactory. Then when we
consulted our friend, Rev. Park Wheat in Texas USA, on a Biblical issue not related
to any software, he asked us to use e-Sword to throw more light on what we
were looking for. We did and that was great!!
e-Sword is fast and effective
Bible study tool. It is user-friendly and has more
capabilities than one would expect from a free software package.
7. COMING NEXT QUARTER
--A new recipe from Grandma.
--Two new software discoveries.
-- More rare pictures from the
family albums.
Goodbye and thank you for visiting us. See you again soon.
