BACINFO  A note of appreciation from the Burmese border, thank you for helping us get the Full Gospel of Christ out to a dying world.

The first version of the Born Again Christian News Widget has been downloaded by several thousand people (including 633 Macupdate users to date), and no problems have been reported. It uses the default code in the proprietary Apple Dashcode (tm) software, so it's no surprise it is safe and works perfectly.

Here's a sample of the daily headlines the Widget delivers to your Apple Dashboard:

Jesus and Prostitutes - Frightened, abused, and drug-addled: What would the LORD Jesus Christ say to the whores in your town today?

The Christian View of Halloween - Is there any harm in children enjoying 'Trick or Treat'? Does Halloween have a Christian origin as pagans often claim? Is it innocent fun, or another demonic strategy for introducing the unwary to the occult?

When Leaders Sin - Should you leave, or stay, in a fellowship where the leaders are sinning?

BACINFO  Note from the Developer of the Born Again Christian News Widget:

Thank you for your comments. Please note that this free Dashboard Widget is made using Apple's Dashcode (tm) software. As such, it employs Apple's default RSS feed template code and is perfectly safe.

It delivers the daily Christian RSS feed headlines of the site:

http://www.born-again-christian.info/christianity.htm

The website proclaims the Full Gospel message typical of mainline Spirit-filled Christians such as; Baptist, Pentecostal, and Charismatic believers.

The Statement of Faith of the host, a self-financed English missionary in Asia, is here:

http://www.born-again-christian.info/faith.htm

Only non-Christians, and pseudo-Christian fringe groups, would feel the need to distance themselves from this software and the message of Christ's love and perfect redemption proclaimed through it.

Give it a try, and if you don't like it, simply remove it as you would any other Dashboard widget.

BACINFO  For you ADC members, the Nav Services bug report is detailed here:

https://bugreport.apple.com/

See Bug ID 4695712  
(Version 2.2.1)

BACINFO  TextWrangler is an excellent and essential application, but it most certainly does crash. When you use it for several hours a day you will eventually come across the Nav. Services open file dialogue.

I have reported this to the Developers and they say it is due to a bug in OS X and there's nothing Barebones can do to fix it.

The bug has been specifically reported to Apple with TW crash reports, but has not been fixed since the last two updates of OS X. to OS X 10.4.8.

Doubtless it will also ship with Leopard.

The exact same bug also plagues BBedit.
