| Yesterday I added a new section to my gopher hole [0]. It's the | |
| English Standard Version of the Bible, used with permission. I've | |
| written a script to fetch books/chapters/verses on demand and used | |
| it to prepopulate a full view of the Bible, chapter by chapter. | |
| I'm pretty sure everything came in properly, but I'll be double | |
| checking over the coming weeks. | |
| My next step is to add some safeguards to the script and make it | |
| work on demand as a cgi. There are limitations on how much can be | |
| queried at once and such attached to the API, so I'll need to plan | |
| accordingly. Stay tuned! | |
| In the meantime, pop on over and give it a read. It's my favorite | |
| translation: a literal one with modern grammar. I've opted to | |
| suppress chapter & verse markings as well as footnotes and just | |
| let the text live on its own. I think it makes things much more | |
| reabable. | |
