This makes it much more affordable for most churches, and is more similar to other software on the market. Now the one time cost is $379 USD.

Updates come out regularly— usually about once every month or two. These updates will cost only $35.00 USD (bug fix updates are free). If you want unlimited access to all updates then the optional yearly fee is $100.00 USD per year.

I hope this makes ServiceBuilder even more accessable to churches who need it.

(p.s. I love my wife, and we have a great relationship— she also reads my blog).

He thought the site in question had too many RSS feeds. Fascinating. I didn’t think there was such a thing! And he thought there wasn’t much need for a pocket version of the site.

Actually, I can see his point. He said that most people have no clue about RSS, aren’t using it, don’t want to start, and it just complicates things. And come on, who really wants to visit a web site on a pocket pc? I think I agree with that last part, anyway. The screens are just way too small, so content is usually diminished. And most web sites haven’t adjusted for screen size variances, so it just gets irritating.

It brings up the age-old question of audience. Who am I designing web sites for? In this example, there are many different people who visit and use this site, from various backgrounds, education levels, even language abilities.

I tend to create an RSS feed for just about anything I program anymore. Almost every script I design has some way of reporting its content back to any user interested in subscribing to it. But who really cares?

Tell me what you think. Do you like RSS feeds? Do you know what they are? Do you use them? If so, how do you use them?

Come on, comment. 

Thanks!

My wife is a fabulous mom— really just an amazing person all-round— so she deserves to be honoured today. My own mother is sweet too, as is my grandma.

I hope these women in my life know how important they are to me. Thanks for bringing me into this world, mom. I like to be alive, and I’m glad you gave me a caring family and a safe home to grow up in. Thanks for being interested in my life, nan. I can always count on you for a cozy chat. Thanks for being my spouse, Joanne. You’re gorgeous, intelligent, and kind— all wrapped into one.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Yesterday the Communist Broadcasting Company, otherwise known as the CBC, came by and took some footage of her and Lucas. It was on the news last night at 6 and 9 o’clock. Here it is:

My wife, the movie star. This is the second time they’ve interviewed her about allergy induced asthma. And they didn’t pay her. A yearly budget of over a billion dollars, and they don’t even pay their movie stars!

Sunday, after church the family drove north to Collingwood, Ontario. We got a great steal-of-a-deal on two nights accomodation. We just had to agree to sit through two hours of schpeile while a sales person tried to sell us on a time-share.

It was easy to not buy into that!

After the sales routine, we did some bike riding (we’d taken our bicycles up with us,) — we swam in the pool, we ate out, we played some Gamecube, we played catch, climbed on the playground equipment, and even did some shopping. All around, a great time!

Rushed back Tuesday to go to a volunteer appreciation banquet at noon; then stopped in Gage park on the way home from that and let the kids play their hearts out.

Then last night everyone sad around a toasty wood-fire in the back yard and neighbours came over to chat and sip coffee.
