So yes, I finally got the entire Book of Common Prayer online. I've tried to link up everything that can possibly be linked. If there's a Bible reference, it's linked. If there's a link to a set of prayers, a collect, or something in another liturgy elsewhere in the book, I've tried to link those as well. Hopefully, it becomes an easy thing to use. Still, there's stuff I most likely missed, so if you find yourself perusing the site, get back to me with updates and fixes. it'd be a big help.

Part of the reason for slacking off, I think, was more than the busy holiday schedule, but the apparent need to produce some kind of blog entry that had serious meaning to it. You know, something deep, insightful, and moving.

When half your thoughts revolve around eating cheese and crackers, watching movies, and scratching your belly (and the other half around programming tactics), those types of entries are hard to come by.

In any case, today I decided to be a happy, chipper representative for the Bank of America "Save the Change" program. Basically, any change left over after you purchase something gets put into your savings account. So, for instance, I buy something for $12.45 on my debit card; BofA rounds up to the next nearest dollar, and at the end of the day puts that money into my savings account, in this case, 55 cents. This way, I'm actually putting money into my savings account without having to put a huge chunk in all at one time. So far, I've doubled my savings!!!. Which is to say, not much at all when you examine my (in-)considerable wealth.

So, as an aside, I would like to request willing parties to take a gander at - and find errors in - the new online BCP. I've updated the look, and included all the documents, from the Daily Offices (page 37) to the Consecration of a Church or Chapel (page 567). Since things are in flux regarding the Catechism, I've left that out, and also the Historical Documents of the Church, as they don't pertain to the CEC. Still, the text needs editing. Because I've done this by hand, I've missed a couple of spots, I'm sure, where things should be in italics, or where they should be bold, or whatnot. Also, because this all comes from a pre-scanned text file from the Anglican Church, some of the text has gotten run together, whole paragraphs at times are missing, or run together, and etc. I could use help tracking them down.

If you'd like to volunteer, please let me know so that I can get you into the new development site.
