Download version 1.1 now from http://peterburk.free.fr/podword/PodWord.dmg
News:
The BIG release I've been working hard for! Enjoy the new, non-beta
PodWord! Tons of new features and bug fixes, just read the
features.
Again, I must stress more than ever: EMAIL ME! Personal support, a
full version (no registration reminder), and your requests implemented
into the beta!
About:
PodWord is an applescript program I put together to sync
your daily Bible reading to your iPod. It gets all the chapters from
www.biblegateway.com, and then reformats them iPod-ready. And tomorrow,
it replaces the previous day's sync with the next chapter!
Features:
-Footnotes (use it and see)
-Over 4000-character chapters
-Reading Plan (a version is included for reference, but editing that
document will not change the reading plan, as it is built into the
source code)
-Concordance (also included, built-in like the reading plan)
-Holiday mode (you can set it to download the next few day's readings
too, if you expect to be away from your computer for a time. Will be
optimised in version 1.0 (seperate folders will be made then). But it
still works even now.)
-Editable Reading Plan and Concordance
-Reverse holiday mode (if you missed a day's reading)
-Seperate holiday mode folders
-Individual weekday syncing (only read your Bible reading plan on
Sunday, for example)
-Next book. If tomorrow, you will end your book, it moves onto the next
one automatically.
-Month change support. Constants change every month, so it
automatically updates them for you on the last day of the month.
-Some error handling
Known Issues:
-Cross-platform work is a bit iffy. Java-generated preferences work on
Macs perfectly. Mac preferences work on Windows, but editing must be
done with Wordpad, not Notepad. A return/newline character issue that's
been around forever.
Updates to come in future
revisions:
-More translations, such as
NASB and MSG
-Other translations such as the Good News Bible (different site)
-Progress bar (major, will require porting to cocoa)
-Defaults for those who can't decide when they fill out the preferences
:-)
-Syncing backwards before the end of a book going to the previous book
-Java version 1.0, getting it out of beta phase.
-Heathen version, allowing user-editable URLs. Will be called Web iPod
Sync.
-A major program with the ability to sync PodWord, as well as jokes
(http://humorsphere.catweasel.org), phpBB Forums (such as
www.ipodlinux.org), and BBC or MeteoSuisse Weather reports. Exists on
my laptop, will need editing for closing the source. Might end up in
iPod It, depending on how discussions go.
Bug reports/comments:
Please email me at peterburk a-t gmail d-o-t com if you discover any
bugs, or have any comments or suggestions on how to improve PodWord.
Disclaimer: This program was written with best of intentions, to help people
to have the opportunity to read their Bible daily. As it includes the
full copyright notice, then I hope that it will not be infringing on
any copyright laws. The most that this program can copy down from the
web is still less than 500 verses, so I believe that I am still immune
from any legal issues. However, I will remove this program at any time
if I learn that it is breaking copyright laws. I take no resposibility
for misuse of this program (such as saving the downloaded chapters
resulting in an excess of 500 verses being stored). The reading plan
and concordance were typed in by hand from my Student's Life
Application Bible, and although the NLT translation appears to be
copyrighted, the reading plans do not seem to be. Therefore, I
distribute it freely.
In the same way, I will remove it on request.
