Our Picks

In an effort to increase the speed and efficiency of JWTalk, I will be moving the site to a new server soon.
 
Our current VPS server is a shared-core environment with 3.25 GB of RAM and 90 GB of disk space (we are using 45 to date). It is a normal hard drive.
 
The new VPS server will have 2 dedicated cores, 4 GB of RAM, and 100 GB of disk space. However, this is a SSD drive.
 
Our current CPU load averages at the time of this writing this are "0.71 0.85 0.92" (those are 1, 5, and 15 minute averages), which means we're utilizing less than 1 core's worth of processor time. Over the last 8 hours, our load never got above 1.3. Since we will be utilizing dedicated CPU cores instead along with an SSD drive, we likely will see a performance improvement. 

I started development on a "Dark Mode" theme a couple weeks ago. It's a bit challenging. I'm just curious who would use it.
 
Would you like have a Dark theme option for JWTalk?

I have been reading this book lately - http://www.allthingsnewnovel.blogspot.com/
 
It is free and written by a brother and I would like to highly recommend it.
 
Some one has actually taken the time to imagine the new world with the various things we understand currently and add in a few thoughts of what things might be like.
 
It is pretty well written - although I think he could use a really editor to find typos and that type of thing and perhaps make suggestions to really improve it to be an EXCELLENT written work. But that costs $$$ and this is FREE. And certainly beat out my expectations!
 
I would love to talk with others who have read it and get some thoughts, but not if it is at the expense of your doing your own Bible reading - as THAT is inspired by God and what we need. Where as, this is just for fun reading.
