  • How Can I Tell?

    Posted on March 3rd, 2006 Arthur No comments

    People have asked me, how can I tell if someone is a born-again Christian?

    For some time I’ve had an about me on this site saying how I’m a Bible believing believer. I try to refrain from using the label Christian because of how that word is so misunderstood today.
    I have placed my faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ. Who now stands between me and God the father making intercession for me so that I can enter into an eternal life of glory when He comes again.
    He has paid the penalty for sin, none of us can pay, and now if only we let Him he gives us NEW life! A new life starting with the spirit within us transforming us into the image of Christ.

    How do I know if you are one of of them? If you live like it! In your everyday life, in your talk and in your walk.
    Gen 1:11 says, “And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.”

    If you are born again in the spirit of God you will produce fruit of the same matter. And that’s how I know you are real.

  • Automatic Schema Update

    Posted on March 3rd, 2006 Arthur No comments

    I’ve been working on ACal somewhat–on the database constructor method. I thought to myself, there’s a good chance that the SQL database schema is going to change in the future. It would be very convenient if ACal automatically updated the schema as needed. And so I got to work and after about 3 hours of work and debugging, and 101 lines of code, it’s a reality.

    So now instead of doing this to upgrade the ACal calendar:

    1. Backup data.
    2. Delete database.
    3. Reinstall calendar.
    4. Import data.

    It becomes a single step:

    1. Upgrade calendar.

    So much nicer if I do say so myself. No other PHP system I know of does this right now.
