PDF to ePub conversions

Skilled Workman Posted on by

No, this is not a step by step. It’s a discussion of the realities of dealing with publishing in the second decade of the 21st century. Specifically, I want to talk about dealing with graphically intensive books in multiple channels. One of the Linked-In groups I’m in has been debating the role of XML in “future-proofing” documents. They are mainly coming from employment at large publishing houses with hundreds or thousands of legacy books—many from before the … Continue reading →

Where is BookFlix?

Skilled Workman Posted on by

As we go through the hype of eBooks, how many do we really want to buy? What I want is an excellent reader that lets me rent books, sorta like on the NetFlix model. Here’s a link to an excellent article that talks about this from a conceptual view. I’d never thought about why I haven’t bothered to buy my iPad yet (other than lack of sufficient extra money laying around). It’s not the device or the … Continue reading →

eBooks & ePUB: multi-channel releases

Skilled Workman Posted on by

One of the interesting things about the new paradigm of publishing is the lack of exclusivity. As I publish works for Radiqx and clients, I am continually struck by how many places I normally release things. My norm now is to start with Lulu, then do a Createspace version, then make an html version for Kindle, then a Word version for Smashwords, an ePUB version on Lulu for iPad, a PDF of one of the versions for … Continue reading →

Silly me! Found a new shortcut in FontLab

Skilled Workman Posted on by

It really helps production efficiency and speed. Great find! Command+Arrow Key on selected pieces moves 100 units This shows my ignorance of things like this, but I just discovered a great shortcut built into FontLab. As I have mentioned many times, moving selections right or left is a constant thing—especially while building composite glyphs and letterspacing a new font. One of my irritations over the years has been the internal debate over whether it is more efficient … Continue reading →

I need help..

Skilled Workman Posted on by

I have just added two minisites to the Radiqx site. There is a section now on Practical Prophecy without speculation. There is also a new section of the Practical Practice of Walking in the Spirit. They need to be proofed. If you have time to read the pages in the sections and sent me any typos, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if there is anything you want me to write about, just let me know.

The fruit of the Spirit

Skilled Workman Posted on by

The fruit of the spirit is produced by walking in the spirit. Walking in the Spirit of God has been the focus of my teaching for the past 36 years. My hope is that I am hearing correctly and this is a thing the Lord wants me to do. I am praying like crazy that I can do it well and accurately. In the process I am developing a mini-site on the Radiqx site focused on walking … Continue reading →

The baptism of the Holy Spirit: empowerment

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Receiving the empowerment of the Lord As we remember the first Pentecost of the church, it is important that we make sure we have experienced our personal pentecost. How is this baptism different? John the Baptist separated it out before Jesus began his ministry. In John 1:29-34, John clearly says what we have experienced as reality. “The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin … Continue reading →

Giving the Holy Spirit control

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Possession has a really bad ring to it, doesn’t it? However, that is simply due to the fact that we almost always preface possession with demon. This is a bad thing. However, the Holy Spirit is God himself and a gentleman at the very least. This is a spirit you should covet. This is a spirit you want to possess you, to fill you to overflowing. Maintaining spiritual security The manner of living this way mimics what we … Continue reading →

End times prophecy within discipleship

Skilled Workman Posted on by

As you’ve noticed, I’ve posted several pieces lately about prophecy—specifically how the modern teachings on prophecy seem to miss obvious issues. I’ve added a section on the site about prophecy. I’ve covered some real problems with the currently popular teachings on the subject: the name of the King; Gog & Megog; the rapture; the three comings; & the millenium crew. Yes, this spat of writing is part of the build up to the release of my apocalyptic … Continue reading →
