<hr />
<div>My name is Bob Sander-Cederlof and I live in Arlington, Texas, USA.<br />
<br />
I worked as a software engineer for Adobe Systems, on Flash. Our office in Richardson, Texas, was closed Nov 30, 2011. We all worked from our homes until May 15, 2012, to finish Flash Pro CS6. Now we are either in new jobs, at different companies<br />
<br />
Retired in Aug, 2018, from my job as software engineer at [http://www.telecore.com Telecore, Inc.].<br />
Now it is April, 2025, and I am loving retirement!<br />

<hr />
<div>You have probably visited at least one site which had Bible verse references that looked like links. When you hover over the reference a tooltip pops up with the content of the verse or verses.<br />
<br />
So far I have found five different Bible Reference Taggers that can be added to your own web pages or your entire web site. <br />
It is all done with a line or two or three of Javascript. <br />
When a page with this JavaScript loads, the script will turn all Bible references on a page into links that put up a tooltip with the verses specified.<br />
<br />
=Available taggers=<br />
== Blue Letter Bible ==<br />
http://www.blueletterbible.org/freeoffer/BLB_ScriptTagger/<br />

Add the following right before </head> tag:<br />

<!-- Blue Letter Bible Tagger --><br />
<script src="http://www.blueletterbible.org/scripts/blbToolTip/BLB_ScriptTagger-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><br />
<script type="text/javascript">BLB.Tagger.Translation = 'KJV';</script><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
This is the Tagger I have added to my personal wiki, by modifying skins/Monobook.php.<br />
I have also added this tagger to one of the books on my site: [http://www.txbobsc.com/life/am_aic/aictoc.html Abide In Christ (Andrew Murray)]<br />
<br />
===MediaWiki extension for BLB_ScriptTagger===<br />
I have just finished writing an extension for MediaWiki which will add the <script> tags to any wiki page you choose. Once the extension is installed, you can<br />
invoke it on any page by simply adding <br />
&lt;blbtagger /><br />
anywhere on the page.<br />
<br />
If you choose, you can also add options to choose the translation (NIV, NASB, KJV, et cetera), and more.<br />
<br />

<div>You have probably visited at least one site which had Bible verse references that looked like links. When you hover over the reference a tooltip pops up with the content of the verse or verses.<br />
<br />
So far I have found four different Bible Reference Taggers that can be added to your own web pages or your entire web site. <br />
It is all done with a line or two or three of Javascript. <br />
When a page with this JavaScript loads, the script will turn all Bible references on a page into links that put up a tooltip with the verses specified.<br />

''An early review by a prolific software tester<br />
;January 2010<br />
<br />
Now that I've had a few days to tinker with all of<br />
them, here's my summary of the current Bible programs for iPhone.<br />
<br />
=Laridian PocketBible and OliveTree BibleReader =<br />
(free; I don't see<br />
any difference between the free version and the paid, other than the<br />
modules you get)<br />
<br />
These are good Bible readers, as far as that goes. Both offer a wide<br />
range of modules, but that's about it. As far as indepth study, they<br />
are a bit lacking. Oddly, it seems that the only program that allows<br />
split-screen viewing on the iPhone is OliveTree! Even more oddly, I<br />
don't find I miss it... go figure. Another unique feature: it allows<br />
backing up and synchronizing notes with Evernote. In any case, for the<br />
moment, they are still on my iPhone, but I don't know for how long.<br />
Summary: Neither offers anything much over the others, and the<br />
integration between modules that simplify more in-depth study are<br />
lacking in comparison to some others. To be honest, they just didn't<br />
make an impression on me–but I wanted to like both. ;-)<br />
<br />
:''Update: One item I forgot to mention is that if you have modules from either of these products on another handheld (older Palms, for instance), then you do not have to re-purchase them to use the modules on the iPhone. This could be a very compelling reason to go with either of these products. But I'm also guessing that if you have them, you probably already know that. However, if you do own multiple handhelds, probably OliveTree would be your best bet, as they probably support the broadest range of systems.<br />
<br />
=YouVersion's Bible=<br />
This is also a simple reader, but with a twist. Instead<br />
of tons of extra modules–commentaries, dictionaries, etc. –it is a<br />
reader with online contributions by the readers themselves. You can<br />
contribute to the project if you wish–just not from the iPhone app<br />
that I could find. It also has a very powerful and flexible reading<br />
plan. If you are looking at something primarily for daily reading,<br />
then this may be the one for you. It allows for downloading at least<br />
some of the modules, so if you need, you can do that, and treat it<br />
like an offline reader, but it is primarily intended to be connected.<br />
Summary: Two differentiations: reader contributions and powerful daily<br />
reading plans.<br />
<br />
Update Nov 2010: YouVersion allows downloading a large number of both English and non-Eglish versions now. For example,<br />
I currently have installed KJV, ASB, ESV, GWT, HCSB, MSG, NET, NKJV, NLT (English), Reina-Valera Antigua (Spanish), ad Louis Segond (French). <br />
--([[User:Bobsc]])<br />
<br />
=PocketSword=<br />
First a warning. I'm partial to the whole Sword Project,<br />
so beware my bias. ;-) That said, this program is still very much in<br />
its infancy. You can simply read Bible and commentary modules. There<br />
are yet no capabilities for dictionaries or even the most rudimentary<br />
searching (though that is coming, and should be in beta by the middle<br />
of this month). It is open source and freeware, and the developer<br />
seems to want to make this the best program he can. So, I have high<br />
hopes for this one, especially as so far, it is the only Bible Study<br />
software that allows me to use both of the main-use Polish Bibles, and<br />
not the tragically-archaic Biblia Gdanska. (Laridian is the only other<br />
one that offers a Polish Bible, and this is it) If it results in<br />
anything approaching the capabilities of BibleTime, I may make it my<br />
primary software on my iPhone–but it has a long way to go yet–I'm<br />
hoping to help with beta-testing it.<br />
'''Summary''': Immature, but<br />
potential(?) A capable Bible and commentary reader, with both older<br />
and ESV Bibles available.<br />
<br />
''Update:'' with version 1.1, released early 2010, PocketSword added Bible dictionaries and Search, as well as the ability to select and copy text from Bible modules. As of March 1, the beta for 1.2 includes displaying Strongs numbers, as well as definitions, including morphology.<br />
<br />
''Further update: 19 Nov 2010<br />
As of version 1.3.3, PocketSword continues to mature. It has added full-screen mode, and rotation. Also, a form of quick-view for verse lookups within commentaries, or footnotes for those Bible versions that support them. Most importantly, this allows for looking up Strongs numbers and morphology without having to leave the Bible text view. This last addition makes serious study much easier, and moves PocketSword out of the class of simple readers and into a serious Bible study tool, as well as a serious contender for one of the best iPhone Bible study apps.<br />
<br />
I would add that, due to its open source nature, you too can have a part in its development. The best place to have a part is on the crosswire.org[http://www.crosswire.org/forums/mvnforum/index] forums.<br />
<br />
=Mantis Reader Bible Study=<br />
Wow! It's awesome! But not cheap. Actually,<br />
it's not really any more expensive than the other software, but it's<br />
the only one that has tempted me to actually pay for <br />
it. ;-) It has a quirky, different interface–at least until you get<br />
used to it, but as you learn it, you learn its true capabilities. It<br />
is a true Bible Study application, with integration between modules<br />
that make all the apps I've mentioned so far pale in comparison, and<br />
they ought to hang their heads in shame. ;-) You can view commentaries<br />
and cross references in-line, add notes that are backed up on their<br />
servers, and which can be read or downloaded to your desktop from<br />
there. Nice touch (but I think I prefer OliveTree's Evernote<br />
integration over Mantis's–but to be honest, I doubt I would use<br />
either much) An illustration of Mantis' method. Tap on a verse number,<br />
and a little toolbar opens. You can mark the verse, add a note, email<br />
the verse, or analyze it. Selecting this option opens another window<br />
on top of your Bible window. It has four options below: Compare,<br />
Commentary, Define and My Notes. Compare simply compares your various<br />
Bible versions. You can hide or show whichever ones you want. Since I<br />
only have two installed, it is simple, and I can compare my Polish and<br />
English. Commentaries does something similar, but opens all your<br />
commentaries underneath the verse you are analyzing. Again, you can<br />
hide or show. But what's really cool is that if a particular<br />
commentary doesn't say anything on the verse under study, it offers<br />
the previous and next entries, which you can reveal and read inline.<br />
They are slightly greyed, so you know they are a sub-topic, of sorts.<br />
Define works a bit differently. It starts off the same as the<br />
Commentary and Compare views, but until you tap on a word, nothing<br />
shows under dictionary entries. But tap on a word and if any<br />
dictionary has this word as an entry, its entry shows up. I find this<br />
feature to be quite cool. ;-) Even better, You don't need to open the<br />
Analyze window to get some of this. When you click on the verse number<br />
to show this little menu, it also reveals the names of your various<br />
translations and commentaries. Tapping on a name opens up the entry<br />
for that item that is connected to that verse. Again, if a commentary<br />
doesn't have an entry for that verse, it offers the previous and next<br />
entry to be opened. So you can do inline comparisons and commentaries,<br />
right in the text. Now, granted, on a small screen like the iPhone's,<br />
you might find this overload, but for things like the TSK or parallel<br />
texts, it's useful. ;-) In any case, the approach that Mantis takes<br />
'''encourages''' exploration and further reading. It is quite immersive,<br />
and once I start, I find it difficult to stop reading and digging<br />
further. It reminds me of Accordance in that manner. ;-) But Mantis<br />
doesn't stop there. It also has one of the more flexible daily reading<br />
plan capabilities. I like that it offers check marks to show what<br />
you've read. Concluding, I like<br />
Mantis a whole bunch.<br />
<br />
=Logos=<br />
Regular readers know how much I don't like Logos. All that said, Logos has shown the<br />
rest how to do it. Or at least how powerful and integrated an iPhone<br />
app can be. It is fluid, it is flexible and it is capable and<br />
powerful!<br />
<br />
What does Logos bring to the table? First of all, its<br />
shortcomings. 1. Its commercial nature. Its "home" screen is really<br />
nothing more than advertising for their desktop app. But since it's<br />
free software, I suppose that's unavoidable. Secondly, its reading<br />
plan, as far as I can tell, is rather weak. There is no flexibility,<br />
and no options, and only one plan. useless. So the entire home screen<br />
is a throwaway. Secondly, it is primarily an on-line reader (like<br />
YouVersion's). This means you need to have some kind of data<br />
connection, whether it be wifi or 3G. I suppose you could try Edge or<br />
GPRS, but that would be brutal! Version 1.2 added the<br />
option to download some modules for offline reading, but only for those who have<br />
paid for Logos 4, and who should, by all rights, have that right, due<br />
to the high price Logos charges for their desktop software.<br />
<br />
Now, some of the good. There seems to be well over 50 different titles<br />
available (via a live internet connection) for free. This includes some of the most modern<br />
translations, including the ESV, NKJV, HCSB, GNT, NCV, NLT. It also<br />
contains a whole BUNCH of Greek New Testaments, although I couldn't<br />
find one version of the Hebrew OT. It also has several different KJV<br />
Bibles (and more on that in a moment). There are a few commentaries,<br />
as well as several different books of various sorts. Most of these are<br />
older, and the same as you would find with the Sword Project, but some<br />
are unusual and interesting. Strong's ''Systematic Theology'' is there, as<br />
is ''In His Steps'', and ''The Imitation of Christ''. Eclectic and useful.<br />
<br />
What I find most useful, however, is the Cambridge Paragraph Bible of<br />
the Authorized English Version, done by Scrivener back in 1873. This<br />
one is completely linked to the Greek Strong's both dictionary and<br />
morphology. You access this, as well as other dictionaries by pressing<br />
and holding on a word. This pops up a menu whereby you can either<br />
search the word in the Bible, or do a word study on the word. In the<br />
case of most Bibles, it does an English word study, including showing<br />
all the various Greek and Hebrew words that are translated as the<br />
English Word. But in the case of this particular Bible, it brings up<br />
the Greek word, and shows you the various ways it was translated in<br />
the KJV. At first, the screen that pops up is boring. You see a circle<br />
each for the Hebrew and Greek (in the case of an English word) or for<br />
the Hebrew or Greek root. But tapping either on the label to the right<br />
of this circle (the legend), or on one of the colors on the circle,<br />
does a wonderful thing. It opens up a list of all the places in the<br />
KJV where this particular variation shows up. Lastly, below this, it<br />
shows you example uses in an unusual-looking context table. All of this is<br />
done, apparently, on Logos' servers, and downloaded to your iPhone (or<br />
iPod Touch) via the network. Yes, this means that you don't have<br />
access to it while you are offline, but if you have a decent<br />
connection, it is very slick and powerful.<br />
<br />
I almost neglected to mention that in the text, footnotes are<br />
live-tappable. Tap on one, and a list of verses, or the footnote pops<br />
up in a tooltip-like popup. Tap on a verse reference, and it opens up<br />
in the tooltip popup. This is even nicer than Mantis, but maybe a bit<br />
more "touchy" in practice. I frequently have a hard time tapping in<br />
the right place. But it is attractive and less distracting and<br />
intrusive, as text doesn't have to move out of the way so you can read<br />
the footnote. The search is also quite flexible, and extensive. But<br />
most programs have nice searching facilities. What separates Logos is<br />
its integration and the ease of it. I also cannot overlook its<br />
appearance. It is immediately professional-looking and attractive.<br />
This is something some of the others are lacking, but when I say<br />
attractive, I mean in a productive sense. It's not just eye-candy, but<br />
functional attractiveness–very Mac-like. I must say,<br />
they've done an iPhone program right... there is a<br />
good example in their iPhone app to be emulated. That's about the highest form of praise one can offer a program.<br />
<br />
=Others=<br />
Starting with just a list: (by [[User:Bobsc]])<br />
* Blue Letter Bible -- http://www.blueletterbible.org/iphone/<br />
* CCEL Bible -- http://www.ccel.org/iphone<br />
* Olive Tree Bible Reader -- http://www.olivetree.com/iphone/<br />
<br />
=Summary=<br />
<br />
I think we may expect a product from Accordance in the<br />
near or not-so-near future. <br />
<br />
Logos is an impressive program–though not perfect. I have to<br />
summarize all programs by saying this. Absolutely '''none''' of these<br />
programs will meet my needs all by themselves. I find myself<br />
constantly referring to the last three (PocketSword, Mantis and Logos)<br />
constantly when I'm studying without my Mac. I must also confess,<br />
while I did not want to jailbreak my iPhone, I'm now glad I have. With<br />
Backgrounder and ProSwitcher going, I can bounce back and forth<br />
between the three freely, so it is much less of a hassle than it would<br />
be, had I not had this capability. In fact, I installed these two<br />
hacks just so I could multi-task these three programs.<br />
<br />
Having said that, I'm holding out high hopes that PocketSword and<br />
Accordance will be able to step up to the plate, and give us a<br />
complete solution. I know it's not easy to go from working on a modern<br />
system with all the resources in the world like the Mac, to a tiny<br />
320x480 pixel screen, with grossly underpowered processor and limited<br />
memory resources. In fact, it is amazing that any of these programs<br />
can do what they do. I have high hopes for the iPhone, though, and am<br />
looking forward to big things. Even if we aren't there yet–I think we<br />
can get very close. I do hope that Accordance will be a part of it. ;-)<br />
<br />
Sorry for this long, rambling and rather disjointed, and hurried<br />
review. But I hope it helps somebody.<br />

Commentary, Define and My Notes. Compare simply compares your various<br />
Bible versions. You can hide or show whichever ones you want. Since I<br />
only have two installed, it is simple, and I can compare my Polish and<br />
English. Commentaries does something similar, but opens all your<br />
commentaries underneath the verse you are analyzing. Again, you can<br />
hide or show. But what's really cool is that if a particular<br />
commentary doesn't say anything on the verse under study, it offers<br />
the previous and next entries, which you can reveal and read inline.<br />
They are slightly greyed, so you know they are a sub-topic, of sorts.<br />
Define works a bit differently. It starts off the same as the<br />
Commentary and Compare views, but until you tap on a word, nothing<br />
shows under dictionary entries. But tap on a word and if any<br />
dictionary has this word as an entry, its entry shows up. I find this<br />
feature to be quite cool. ;-) Even better, You don't need to open the<br />
Analyze window to get some of this. When you click on the verse number<br />
to show this little menu, it also reveals the names of your various<br />
translations and commentaries. Tapping on a name opens up the entry<br />
for that item that is connected to that verse. Again, if a commentary<br />
doesn't have an entry for that verse, it offers the previous and next<br />
entry to be opened. So you can do inline comparisons and commentaries,<br />
right in the text. Now, granted, on a small screen like the iPhone's,<br />
you might find this overload, but for things like the TSK or parallel<br />
texts, it's useful. ;-) In any case, the approach that Mantis takes<br />
'''encourages''' exploration and further reading. It is quite immersive,<br />
and once I start, I find it difficult to stop reading and digging<br />
further. It reminds me of Accordance in that manner. ;-) But Mantis<br />
doesn't stop there. It also has one of the more flexible daily reading<br />
plan capabilities. I like that it offers check marks to show what<br />
you've read. Concluding, I like<br />
Mantis a whole bunch.<br />
<br />
=Logos=<br />
Regular readers know how much I don't like Logos. All that said, Logos has shown the<br />
rest how to do it. Or at least how powerful and integrated an iPhone<br />
app can be. It is fluid, it is flexible and it is capable and<br />
powerful!<br />
<br />
What does Logos bring to the table? First of all, its<br />
shortcomings. 1. Its commercial nature. Its "home" screen is really<br />
nothing more than advertising for their desktop app. But since it's<br />
free software, I suppose that's unavoidable. Secondly, its reading<br />
plan, as far as I can tell, is rather weak. There is no flexibility,<br />
and no options, and only one plan. useless. So the entire home screen<br />
is a throwaway. Secondly, it is primarily an on-line reader (like<br />
YouVersion's). This means you need to have some kind of data<br />
connection, whether it be wifi or 3G. I suppose you could try Edge or<br />
GPRS, but that would be brutal! Version 1.2 added the<br />
option to download some modules for offline reading, but only for those who have<br />
paid for Logos 4, and who should, by all rights, have that right, due<br />
to the high price Logos charges for their desktop software.<br />
<br />
Now, some of the good. There seems to be well over 50 different titles<br />
available (via a live internet connection) for free. This includes some of the most modern<br />
translations, including the ESV, NKJV, HCSB, GNT, NCV, NLT. It also<br />
contains a whole BUNCH of Greek New Testaments, although I couldn't<br />
find one version of the Hebrew OT. It also has several different KJV<br />
Bibles (and more on that in a moment). There are a few commentaries,<br />
as well as several different books of various sorts. Most of these are<br />
older, and the same as you would find with the Sword Project, but some<br />
are unusual and interesting. Strong's ''Systematic Theology'' is there, as<br />
is ''In His Steps'', and ''The Imitation of Christ''. Eclectic and useful.<br />
<br />
What I find most useful, however, is the Cambridge Paragraph Bible of<br />
the Authorized English Version, done by Scrivener back in 1873. This<br />
one is completely linked to the Greek Strong's both dictionary and<br />
morphology. You access this, as well as other dictionaries by pressing<br />
and holding on a word. This pops up a menu whereby you can either<br />
search the word in the Bible, or do a word study on the word. In the<br />
case of most Bibles, it does an English word study, including showing<br />
all the various Greek and Hebrew words that are translated as the<br />
English Word. But in the case of this particular Bible, it brings up<br />
the Greek word, and shows you the various ways it was translated in<br />
the KJV. At first, the screen that pops up is boring. You see a circle<br />
each for the Hebrew and Greek (in the case of an English word) or for<br />
the Hebrew or Greek root. But tapping either on the label to the right<br />
of this circle (the legend), or on one of the colors on the circle,<br />
does a wonderful thing. It opens up a list of all the places in the<br />
KJV where this particular variation shows up. Lastly, below this, it<br />
shows you example uses in an unusual-looking context table. All of this is<br />
done, apparently, on Logos' servers, and downloaded to your iPhone (or<br />
iPod Touch) via the network. Yes, this means that you don't have<br />
access to it while you are offline, but if you have a decent<br />
connection, it is very slick and powerful.<br />
<br />
I almost neglected to mention that in the text, footnotes are<br />
live-tappable. Tap on one, and a list of verses, or the footnote pops<br />
up in a tooltip-like popup. Tap on a verse reference, and it opens up<br />
in the tooltip popup. This is even nicer than Mantis, but maybe a bit<br />
more "touchy" in practice. I frequently have a hard time tapping in<br />
the right place. But it is attractive and less distracting and<br />
intrusive, as text doesn't have to move out of the way so you can read<br />
the footnote. The search is also quite flexible, and extensive. But<br />
most programs have nice searching facilities. What separates Logos is<br />
its integration and the ease of it. I also cannot overlook its<br />
appearance. It is immediately professional-looking and attractive.<br />
This is something some of the others are lacking, but when I say<br />
attractive, I mean in a productive sense. It's not just eye-candy, but<br />
functional attractiveness–very Mac-like. I must say,<br />
they've done an iPhone program right... there is a<br />
good example in their iPhone app to be emulated. That's about the highest form of praise one can offer a program.<br />
<br />
=Summary=<br />
<br />
I think we may expect a product from Accordance in the<br />
near or not-so-near future. <br />
<br />
Logos is an impressive program–though not perfect. I have to<br />
summarize all programs by saying this. Absolutely '''none''' of these<br />
programs will meet my needs all by themselves. I find myself<br />
constantly referring to the last three (PocketSword, Mantis and Logos)<br />
constantly when I'm studying without my Mac. I must also confess,<br />
while I did not want to jailbreak my iPhone, I'm now glad I have. With<br />
Backgrounder and ProSwitcher going, I can bounce back and forth<br />
between the three freely, so it is much less of a hassle than it would<br />
be, had I not had this capability. In fact, I installed these two<br />
hacks just so I could multi-task these three programs.<br />
<br />
Having said that, I'm holding out high hopes that PocketSword and<br />
Accordance will be able to step up to the plate, and give us a<br />
complete solution. I know it's not easy to go from working on a modern<br />
system with all the resources in the world like the Mac, to a tiny<br />
320x480 pixel screen, with grossly underpowered processor and limited<br />
memory resources. In fact, it is amazing that any of these programs<br />
can do what they do. I have high hopes for the iPhone, though, and am<br />
looking forward to big things. Even if we aren't there yet–I think we<br />
can get very close. I do hope that Accordance will be a part of it. ;-)<br />
<br />
Sorry for this long, rambling and rather disjointed, and hurried<br />
review. But I hope it helps somebody.<br />

<div>=Video Converter=<br />
There are two excellent free video "converters" for Mac, using the definition you have implied. One is a "ripper," and the other a transcoder.<br />
== MacTheRipper==<br />
MacTheRipper excels at ripping DVDs to your Mac's hard drive. The most recent version of it is hard to find and technically is for sale at a cost, though it is through a circuitous and financially vague transactional process, due to the legality of the software being in question and the developer fearing prosecution for making it available (so he says). Still, it is the only software I have found that can rip your legally owned DVDs to your hard drive for personal use for free, regardless of any copy-protection schemes employed on the DVD. Support for MacTheRipper is sparse due to its shadowy presence on the web, and if you are dissatisfied with it, you have no avenue for restitution. There is no way to try the software before you buy it.<br />
==RipIt==<br />
However, if you want the simplest, easiest DVD Ripper for Mac, it is worth spending a little money (only $20) on RipIt. This is a very well-designed and highly capable app with fantastic support from the developer. You can download a copy for free and rip ten DVDs to test it and see if you like it.<br />
http://thelittleappfactory.com/ripit/<br />
Before you start messing around with MacTheRipper and its myriad of settings, I'd highly recommend you try RipIt. I am not in any way associated with the developer.<br />
==HandBrake==<br />
The second indispensable piece of free video converting software on the Mac is Handbrake, which can transcode almost any video, including DVD, to a variety of formats compatible with all of Apple's products. You can find Handbrake here:<br />
http://handbrake.fr/<br />
<br />
There's more out there, but the best of the free software are probably these two apps, and RipIt stands alone as an elegant, affordable DVD ripper.<br />
