I think sometimes I should call these entries Journal of the Month instead of Week, seeing that the weekly entries are often more than a week.
6/1/2024 Modernism vs. True Christianity (Hebrews 2:3):
To the Post-Modernists: Christianity = ethics. Salvation = social reform. Rebirth = new hope.
5/29/2024 Stephen Tong on: Why OT first, NT second? (Why the law first, then grace?) So that the grace of God is not trampled upon. What's interesting in this video (which I find valuable enough to save it in my Library drive > Stephen Tong > STEMI > STEMI TAIWAN) is that Tong asked for audience input. He rebuked some of the audience's inputs have attitude issues: trying to teach others instead of humbly learning.
5/28/2024 It's quite fascinating to see my design (Word Add-on using Microsoft Office-js), though as simple as it is, for the company's letterhead wizard being displayed in the company intranet training page.
5/27/2024 I updated the entry on getting "Graduate/Bachelor's Degrees Online" to get an idea of pricing.
Some overview of how HTTP & HTTPS work.
A look into someone's project to make a Unix Clone - Bunnix.
Say farewell to ICQ (I seek you). This short article gave a brief overview of its history. Began in 1996 by Mirabilis (Israeli company), sold to AOL in 1998, which merged with Time Warner in 2000, then sold to Russian company Mail.Ru known now as VK under Digital Sky Technologies. VK's announced to shut it down on June 26th, 2024. I was also one of the heavy user, though I don't remember much of its usage. There was something called Trillian that I used which combine various chat programs including ICQ. Whatsapp is what many of us use now.
5/26/2024 Hiking after church/lunch. First time at Sourland Mountain Preserve, Hillsborough Township. 83 F, 70% humidity. Near the Kings' residence, where we had some quick lunch which each brought their own (Nadia, Joy and I went to QuickChek for 2/$5 empanadas) but Maria had prepared snacks and drinks for before and after (ice-cream, watermelon, etc) the hike, at their back porch. We did the Yellow Trail, 1.8 Mile, suggested for 1 Hour 9 mins, but we ended up roughly 2 hours. I can't say I regret it, but it's probably a better idea to pick a shorter trail. Perhaps one with more sceneries. Expect rocky trails in Sourland, especially for the seniors. The views are large boulders suitable for rock climbing for kids, and a couple of small streams. The rest is all green leaves. In spite of that, I think everyone enjoyed it. R. fell a couple of times, and C. had back tension. I enjoyed the after church talk at the Kings with ice-cream, as we had chance to talk a little about church in general. I was once again troubled by how to deal with kids growing up in church but left after. Possibly due to wrong motivations (i.e. music, friends, etc.). Everyone would know the true motive would be God and His Word, but what kind of fellowship should it really be towards the true purpose is a challenge for many. The next hike would have to be in the Fall, as it's getting too hot now.
