Providing news, help, and discussion for bible scholars and ministers using Macintosh technologies as a tool for doing their work. April 26, 2008 The Search for the Right Mac Setup in the Office I'll be moving into a new office this summer, and it already has me thinking about the new desk and how I want to setup my MacBook on the desk. Using a laptop as your main desktop as well complicates matters.Things I know: The MacBook will be the computer I'll place an external display as well (19" probably) I want an external keyboard and mouse involved in ergonomic locations My phone cradle is a must I want to minimize plugins, so I'll have a USB hub cable, an ethernet cable, a power cable all in place. A first question is whether I want the MacBook display below and in front of the external, or do I want it lifted up on an elevator. I find it helpful to look at Mac desk setups for ideas. A printer-cartridge company pointed me to their recent photo gallery of Mac setups: 25 of the Best Home & Office Mac Setups. A great way to get ideas is to scan some of the many Flickr photo pools. at 9:44 AM 1 comments April 23, 2008 The Impact of the Printing Press on Biblical Theology I do hope in time to publish some of my formulated work on the issue of how human technological advance has (arbitrarily) altered the church's biblical theology. The invention of the codex (bound book) allowed for an eventual new approach to how one understands the canon as a single book. I cherish the time I've spent researching in WolfenbГјttel where I spent significant time with the 1516 Erasmus text--the first ever printed Greek New Testament. Until the invention of the printing press, there had never been in existence two copies of a biblical book that were identical. The invention was a catalyst for a theological approach to the nature of biblical inspiration that could not exist previously. The occasion of these reflections is the enjoying of Stephen Fry's documentary on the Gutenberg Press, now fully available online. You may enjoy it. at 2:15 PM 2 comments April 16, 2008 On the Subjunctive… It is definitely the case that the world needs more blog posts that focus on one mood. Greek/Hebrew instructor ought to enjoy this posting... and it makes for good information for any of you with Greek students needing clarity about their English subjunctive use. Were I to seek examples of the subjunctive… HT: Daring Fireball at 3:51 PM 0 comments April 11, 2008 Convert Unicode Greek to Helena Font I am making available a Unicode to Legacy Font conversion routine I wrote last year. This utility culls through characters of text on the clipboard and then converts any Unicode characters that fall within the Helena font characters into their Helena font equivalencies. This has at least two uses. 1. If you use Helena in your text document, you can easily include Greek that you are pulling from another source, even if it is in Unicode characters. 2. If you encounter some Unicode Greek text, such as on a web page, you can copy it to the clipboard and then convert it to Helena encoding, suitable for pasting into the search box of Accordance Bible software. You can download the font conversion utility here. at 9:01 PM 2 comments I want to captures my notes/todos everywhere: Evernote Possibly? There have been several note taking/capture applications in the last couple years that work towards complete sync between portable device, desktop application, web interface. This is what I want. And, I applaud the continued trend towards thinking this way. I want to be able to increasingly thing in terms of my capture and sorting of info/todos/etc in my notes, and then I can access those notes in whatever context I'm in. Evernote is another addition and advancement in this direction. at 4:27 PM 0 comments April 09, 2008 Instant warm, fuzziness from NeoOffice If you have not purchased Word 08 for Mac, do yourself a huge favor and have a look at NeoOffice, now in version 2.2.3. We are now buying Macs at our church with no worries about extra expenses for Office products. I'm simply deploying NeoOffice. It moved me to make a donation today, and not only did I feel good about supporting the project, but received such a sweet autoreply: Thank you for your donation to NeoOffice. As a result of generous contributions from people like yourself, we are able to fund many of the operating expenses that are required to keep the NeoOffice project running. Your contributions will be used to help us to continue providing valuable services to the NeoOffice community such as free downloads, frequent releases, bug fixing, and support and testing forums. Have I mentioned that I think NeoOffice is a very good solution? The toolbar icons are a little clunky for me, but the functionality here is just great, will get greater. at 1:14 AM 12 comments April 02, 2008 Annotate PDF's and More with Preview So, your student or colleague has sent you a paper in PDF form and wants your comments. This used to be a pain, for you couldn't write/scribble/cross out on the file, but passed notes back in another form (unless you had invested in 3rd party options, some very expensive). Well, with Leopard, the Preview.app has become supercharged, allowing you to work wonders with pdfs, including adding pages, highlights, notes, and markings, that you can then send back to someone else who can view the comments, even if they're using Acrobat Reader on Windows. Have a look at this recent survey of fantastic new features of Preview in Mac OSX 10.5. Complete list of new and helpful features: Annotage PDFs Delete & Rearrange Pages Merge PDFs Crop & Resize Images Mask (delete background) Images Adjust Image Color Print Multiple Images per Page Add Keywords to Images & PDFs at 9:31 AM 0 comments April 01, 2008 Apple Releases King David Garage Band Loops from the Psalms Selah Selah Selah Free download only available today: Here's the link at 12:08 AM 0 comments March 31, 2008 Best Web Browser for your Online Work I have been using Safari for quite awhile. I have Firefox installed for those web pages that seem to require it. I am interested in the little cottage industry of web browsers still out there, some of them very powerful. I'm not sure any are a clear choice for pastors/scholars... Firefox has so many plug-in options, there is great potential there. Macworld just released a very good survey of the Mac browser landscape called "The Browser Bunch". It includes sections on: Comparison charts Interface summaries Rendering Engines Web standards compliance Plug-ins Forms/passwords Privacy/security and suggestions on finding the right browser for you (pay or free) It's a very well done article. It does conclude that for most folks, Safari is the best choice, with Firefox also with merits. (It seems I had gotten it right even before reading the article.)Update: Or you can go old school. at 10:53 AM 3 comments March 23, 2008 B-Greek Search Bookmarklet I previously made available a Dashboard Widget to facilitate searching the rich archives of the Biblical Greek Email Listserv. For the sake of my PC-using fellow Hellenes, here is what I think could be an even better way of searching the archives--a bookmarklet. By dragging the bookmarklet into the bookmark bar of your browser, you can click on it to quickly jump to a custom B-Greek search page. However, it includes the additional features: If you first highlight a search string in the current browser window, it will search for that string in the B-Greek archives. It returns results from the newer and older archives (pre- and post-1998) To use the bookmarklet, just drag this link into the bookmark bar on your browser: B-Greek Search Have a look at a results page: You can see the "B-Greek Search" item on the bookmark bar. See how, for instance, I could be viewing the results of my previous search shown in the image above, and becoming interested in TON KOSMON--well, I can then highlight the term and click the bookmarklet to search once more. As for Bookmarklets: This little project has got me thinking what other web resources we use in scholarly/biblical work would be handy to be able to search by highlighting text in a web browser window followed by a single click. Perhaps someone may have suggestions. at 11:48 PM 1 comments Older Posts Subscribe to: Posts (Atom) П†ПЃОїОЅОµбї–П‚ бј‘П„бЅіПЃОїП‚ Joe Weaks Return to Home Page Email Joe at: Contact Us Popular pages Quicksilver Actions for Accordance Unicode: A Bible Scholar's Conceptual Introduction Unicode: Apple's Greek Polytonic Keyboard Unicode: Text Critical Characters of Interest to Bible Scholars Unicode: Special Key Symbols Computer Search Criteria for Analyzing Author's Style Noah Video Tags accordance (6) apple (1) applescript (3) keyboard (2) quicksilver (3) sbl (1) unicode (2) video (1) Word Processing (2) RSS/Atom Feedburner Feed Technorati search this blog all blogs Biblioblogs The Stoa Source Theory PaleoJudaica New Testament Gateway Mi Convivencia TeolГіgica James Tauber's Blog Hypotyposeis Deinde Technology/Mac blogs The Accordance Blog Wired News The Apple Blog Slashdot: Apple O'Reilly Mac DevCenter Blog MacSlash MacCentral Mac OSX HInts Geeks and Gods podcast Biblical Software Review Misc.
