Happy Birthday to Saturday Sunday Share!
I can hardly believe this weekend marks one full year — can you?
Right when I thought this was about to come to a close, you guys blew it up last week!
Here’s last week’s shares:
- James Cooper - is on FIRE!
- Paul Clifford - has AWESOME news!
- Marek – needs YOUR PRAYERS!
- Dave Anthold - was full of EPIC!
- Raoul Snyman - wrote an EXCELLENT post!
- Joanna - shared some serious LOLs!
This week, let’s do a little something special.
Share your favorite ‘share’ from the past year.
It doesn’t have to be something you’ve shared on Saturday Sunday Share before, either.
Ready, set — GO!

“Don’t Think Outside of the Box” – http://www.frankgantz.com/dont-think-outside-of-the-box/
I love this (as you can tell by my posting streak). I feel like I can look back on my week and see what I’ve accomplished and, as a person with “words of affirmation” as a primary love language, I’ve got to say calling what I say “awesome” makes me want to continue.
Ok, I uploaded some of the first videos to my channel on youtube (here’s the playlist: http://bit.ly/PcX78M) for Church Video Summer School. I did a test for the first month ebook (and it’s looking good). I hope to have the RSS for the video and audio podcasts of what I’ve created soon. My plan is to release all the information as I finish it in month-size chunks. June will be done in the first week of July, etc. I’m trying to do this as quickly as possible and iterate afterward. I’ll release the whole thing in September. I’m hoping to raise some money to make it better before it’s released with indiegogo (http://igg.me/p/123961?a=712448) and give some really great deals on my books, too. I recorded another 7 days of videos that I need to cut together to try and keep on schedule.
I’ve got another author I’m going to be working with to get the word out about his books (if you know any blogs about World War II fiction, let me know). I’m also working on a website for a local church (which I’m trying to make responsive, too).
I had two other shoots this week. If I had four of those a week, I’d be making exactly as much as I did at my last corporate job with less time. I guess it’s all a balancing act between making money with freelance work and creating resources to help churches (which I prefer).

Busy, busy!
I pray the work keeps coming in for you.
This week I’ve been working a very css3 heavy wordpress theme (got to test it in IE now, gulp…), been playing with standard 3 pre (fun!), and rather amazingly one of my clients was mentioned as part of a debate in the UK Parliament (in a good way)!
Every week, without fail, awesomeness.
Last week my brother guest-posted[0] on my blog again. He wrote a pretty cool little article about a few of the less-visible-but-you’d-notice-if-it-went-wrong things in the latest version of Ubuntu.
Additionally, last week my OpenLP project was in full swing preparing for, an releasing, our first release candidate[1]. A release candidate is a preview of the final release of a piece of software. We’ve now completely cut down to “bugs-only” mode as we prepare for a final release.
When we discussed the release dates on our development mailing list, I got quite anxious, to be honest. I was worried that we’ll have too many bugs still left, and after 5 years of development I almost feel like I don’t know if there’s anything to do after this.
Of course development will continue after the release of version 2.0, we have PLENTY of feature requests to keep us busy for quite a while yet.
