NEW Reference Section Discussion...

[phatcatholic]

here's another helpful tip:

if an audio file from catholic answers is not submitting, then use the address for the results page. here is what you do:

--go to the [url="http://catholic.com/search.asp"]search page[/url] at catholic.com
--in the "search for" drop-down menu, choose "radio shows"
--in the "about" box, type in the exact title for the audio file. for example, w/ the file [b]Catholic Answers Live on [i]Our Jewish Heritage[/i][/b], you would type in "Our Jewish Heritage".
--click search
--use the address for the results page that comes up, instead of the links for "listen" or "download."

make sense? if not, let me know

same. spent the night out unexpectedly. eating then shopping then working some more. i am giving my best effort to have one full section at least done in the morning.

[phatcatholic]

same?

which entries do you have left?

[franciscanheart]

too many. ummm... i dont know specifically without looking them up. i have about two and a half entries to finish. im headed to get food for the pets and eat dinner and then ill start again. i should only have one entry left to finish tomorrow afternoon. if you need me to pick up the pace just say the word.

[Cure of Ars]

I feel like I used to when I was unprepared for school and the teacher called on me to answer a question. Thanks Phatcatholic for bringing up my issues. I have put some time in but I have had family down with Fathers day and all.

I am still on the sacramentsl. I have all of Anointing of the sick, Holy Orders and the Priesthood, and Confirmation left to do and a little bit on the Eucharist. I also have not done any of the audio sections of any of my sections.

I have not touched --defending the faith online --theology of the body --tools for apologetics

Sorry that I don’t have more done. I have been trying.

[franciscanheart]

Cure when I get caught up with what I said I would do I will help ya out if you want. Like I said before, just let me know which ones you want me to do and I'm on it.

[phatcatholic]

don't worry everyone, this is a tough task, and it has been difficult for me to complete as well. i just wanted to see how close we were to being finished. everyone just try their best. try not to go on binges or you'll get anxious and start making errors. do a few sections, take a break, and then do a few more. other websites that have libraries this large have teams of people who do this, and they get paid. we're just four volunteers trying to do something worthwhile w/ what little spare time we have. so, try not to stress out. like i said, just do ur best.

also, it doesn't look negatively upon you if you need someone else to take on one of your entries. dUSt, can you do another one? maybe you and laura can help out Cure and i. dUSt, if you could take Prayer, Devotion, and Spirituality for me, that would be HUGE. i have five entries under Opposing Views that could easily stand alone, so that's gonna take a while. laura, you take one or two for Cure (you two can work that out). if we work as a team, we'll knock this out and put Phatmass on the map.

may the merits of our work be applied to likos, for his speedy recovery

no..................i wouldn't worry about it

[dUSt]

How about we get a few more worthy volunteers to help out? Why should we be the only one's having fun? There's a huge pool of resources at phatmass--why not use it?

[franciscanheart]

because youll just fire them all


i should hopefully be done with my whole part by around 3 am my time. [im promising myself and you too to have it done before my retreat]

[phatcatholic]

i don't really know who else to ask to do this. its a big burden to place on someone..........

[journeyman]

what are you looking at as "launch" date?
what do you need done?

moderately good typist is all I'll say on my own behalf
slow modem connection

I think I'm going to have a window between 4th of July through the 10th
I could put in a couple of hours per day

[franciscanheart]

oh goodness i really hope we're done before that!!

[phatcatholic]

"slow modem connection" would be a pain for you too
