    AI (not the city)

    I did not understand this statement. What is a "toaster"? This is the response from the Apple Dictionary: toaster | ˈtōstər | noun 1 an electrical device for making toast. 2 a DJ who accompanies reggae with improvised rhythmic speech. I don't know what "reggae" means, either. I guess this is...

    2024 is SwordSearcher's 30th Anniversary! 😁

    I don't recall when I started using SwordSearcher. I don't know where I heard about it. But it seems like a long time ago. And I've been one happy user ever since. Great job, Brandon! To God be the glory!

    Audio Book

    I have tried many other recordings of the Bible, and I always come back to Scourby. Others do provide better audio quality and more even reading speed, and Scourby does make mistakes from time to time. But … I've yet to find anyone who can read the Scriptures alone and yet communicate so well –...

    Making an Audio Bible

    Thank you, Brandon. I understand the limits of time and resources you face (to some degree). I would say that to increase the vote weight of the few who would use the feature, that those few might help others to read/hear the Word of God in their own language and thereby have a huge impact for...

    Making an Audio Bible

    I asked Brandon about that once since I wanted to do one for a foreign-language Bible, but, IIRC, it was not something Brandon was willing to pursue. I.e., it's hard-coded and not something he could easily make available for user extensibility. Brandon, I still wish it was possible for us users...

    FR: fly-out Reading Schedule panel via Widget or similar

    @wsbones, I don't even have room there for it or an icon/widget. To save screen real estate, I've put the Book and Commentaries panel up over the menu bar so only a portion of the word "User" shows :)

    FR: fly-out Reading Schedule panel via Widget or similar

    Although I had previously started to use the Reading Schedule in SwordSearcher, I never stuck with that electronic (computer) method of documenting my Bible reading. I don't recall now why, but maybe it was because of what I found inconvenient with the Reading Schedule panel. Right now I'm over...

    Loading Parallels/Windows 11 Pro and SwordSearcher

    There was no need to buy anything until everything was up and running. Both Parallels and Windows 11 will run for a while without buying them: Parallels for 30 days and Windows indefinitely (I guess), but with some limitations.

    Loading Parallels/Windows 11 Pro and SwordSearcher

    Cyrus, You first need to install Parallels. Then once Parallels is installed, you within Parallels will install Windows11. Parallels knows from whence to download the Win11 file. It will install Windows and create your Virtual Machine. After all of that is done, you launch Windows from within...

    Loading Parallels/Windows 11 Pro and SwordSearcher

    You can probably get a 30-day free full-service trial period, and then buy Parallels at the end. There are two Parallels Desktop options: 1. Pay once and stay on that version until you pay again (may be OK for your needs); 2. rent forever. The ARM architecture of the new Mac chips requires a...

    Forum times are wonky on my computer

    Thank you, Brandon! It was the time zone set for me in the forum settings. I did not think of that. I feel kind of stupid for not thinking of that, but … Anyway, I guess I can no longer experience the future.

    Forum times are wonky on my computer

    My computer including the virtual machine have the correct date, so I'm not sure what's going on here. I was accessing the forum website via the host computer anyway, and its time (AFAIK) has never been inaccurate.

    Forum times are wonky on my computer

    It is approx. 12:53 PM Eastern Time in the USA as I write this. I added my “3:51” comment this moring at about 6:51 AM (morning) my time. These times (e.g. 3:51 have not even been lived by me yet! Only by God’s grace will I get there. But this forum software says I’ve been there. Hmm. EDIT: The...

    Search for two words in a certain order, but not next to each other

    Apparently ( |^)stand .{0,175} before( |$) does not find "stand before" when the two words are right next to each other. See Jos 23:9 which is not a hit with this RegEx search. So one needs to use the RegEx searches and do simple searches for "stand before", "stood before", "standeth before" in...

    Search for two words in a certain order, but not next to each other

    I am just documenting this for my info and the info of any others who may find it interesting. I want to find verses where forms of the verb "stand" are followed (not necessarily immediately) by "before". Jos 7:12 and Jos 21:44 are examples. 2Ki 2:4 is also an example. What interests me is...
