DromoreRPC.org has now been redone, with about 80 new sermons by David McCullough (and a few public meetings) having been added to what was already there. The rest of David McCullough’s 5 years of sermons in Dromore will be added during the next few months, and weekly sermons will now be added, well, weekly. Also, the site is not yet completely finished so there should be a few more photos and things on it soon.
– Desiring God have finally launched their new website. Among other things it offers 25 years of John Piper audio sermons (with videos for some of them as well!). There is reams of stuff on the site, here’s Piper telling us how he memorises Scripture. There is a section of Essential Piper resources and lots of Piper’s books available free.
– If Bebo doesn’t already waste enough of your time, Facebook (like, the original bebo) has finally opened up to allow Queen’s students to register (unlike bebo, you need to actually be at one of their listed universities or schools to sign up). Pam was on the case first and has already set up a Renwick group. A few interesting photos:

– This is one of the funniest posts on Ref 21 for a long time. You’ll only get it if you’ve been reading Ref 21, and if you haven’t, you should be!
– Strobert is back. And is using words like ‘cellphone’ in normal conversation, while defying all expectations by looking exactly the same.
Update: The new DG site took an amazing $70,000 dollars to complete. They say it cost them $200 to convert EACH Piper audio tape to mp3 format (digitally mastering it and removing distortion). The other week I converted 25 David McCullough tapes to mp3. So, if he was John Piper, it would have cost him $5,000!
My mate Crawford Gribben is blogging along with Deco Thomas and some other dude on a blog about reforming the Irish church!!! The site is www.irish-reformation.blogspot.com. Seeing as no-one heard of the site till David Lockington’s father-in-law joined them, I have 2 months of reading to catch up on, but I already notice a post on the Reformed Theological Journal – with a link to SWS for pictures of the new College! Crawford also says some very nice things about our professors.
Although where’s the link to RPC.org on the front page?! :-P

Update: Here’s Crawford’s thoughts on the ‘one man ministry mentality’ we were learning about at the weekend!
Update 2: Mark’s now posting on it, yeah! This could be the best site ever! Someone in the comments suggested getting the profs from our college involved. Would that be class or what?! Glad to see rpc.org is now linked!
Ryan Cerbus is over in Airdrie again (and is of course blogging about it), designing a website for the CTI’s ‘Semester in Scotland’ program. You can see how he’s getting on here. He has provided a few snaps for anyone in need of an Airdrie fix:

And an interesting line at the bottom of one of his posts:
I might get Andrew to start blogging, as well…
Now that would be cool! If I had nothing better to do I might even start a petition…
Update: It’s official – thanks to Carla for the link!
I never thought I’d ever start one of these, but I’ve been messing around with a linkblog (using the del.ico.us service). A linkblog (or sideblog) is like a mini-blog. It contains links with a short comment describing each link – for things that are interesting but aren’t worth making a full post about. I’ve started one here. You can see there is a description which you click on to follow each link, and below it (if required) is a longer comment. I don’t know if I’ll keep it up, but if I do I might integrate it to the main site, so the latest links are displayed here on SWS.
A few interesting links among the ones I’ve put up include one about Evolution in State Schools in America (that Phil McC sent me) and 2 topical addresses by David Silversides (one entitled ‘Was C.S. Lewis an Evangelical?’ and one on the Da Vinci Code).
Another change to the site I’ve made is that I’ve done the thing I did for Mark’s blog for A Wee Spot – Strobert wanted a link to it from here, so I thought I might as well include the latest post as well.
Update:
Right, I’ve put the last 5 entries to the sideblog to the right of this page. You can hold the mouse over the links to read any comments I’ve added, or maybe a quote from the article.
You may have noticed at the top of the page something I’ve added to the site – SWS now tells you what the latest post on your other favourite blog so you will know whether Mark’s updated his site or not without having to visit it! It’s slightly messed up at the minute due to the é but you still get the jist of it. I can add more blogs to this in the future if there is demand for them (ig Sweeney when he finally starts blogging or maybe Challies or something – if the authors don’t mind of course!). Pretty cool, eh?
Update: I’ve added the latest sermon from rpc.org. Dunno if I’ll keep it though as it makes the page look a bit cluttered.
Update 2: The updating should now be a lot faster as I’ve changed to something that isn’t being cached.
