This page has been created in order to keep returning users of TOLBSS up to date on the changes that are being made.  Please continue to let me know of any errors or additions.  I really appreciate your comments and emails about the site and your suggestions for its improvement.

As always, if there are any bad links, spelling errors or additions to make, please let me know.  I would rather hear about the problems 10 times than have them still exist.  Also, if you have an Online Bible website and want to have a link from TOLBSS to it, or if you've created any material for the Online Bible, please email meand let me know. (remove the -nospam-)

The changes which were made during 1999 have been moved to the What's New - 1999 page. Those for 2000 to the What's New - 2000 page, and those for 2001 to the What's New - 2001 page..  Please see those pages for details.  This page will contain the changes as will be made in the year 2001.

NEW--Who are the site operators? Ernie Spillman (web master) and Jonathan Dixon (founder).

  • The World English Bible is updated to the 27 November 02 version,  You can get the new version on the English bible translations page. (ES)
  • Don't have time for the HNV right now due to many corrections needed (as usual)--I'll try to get to it early next year, Lord willing.(ES)
  • From everyone here at Tolbss, have a joyous and blessed Christmas!(ES)

  • GUV (Grammar Uses Version) by Gary Gallant has been updated--you can get it on the English bible translations page.(ES)
  • Sorry for the lack of updates, I'm having some vision problems due to diabetes and some rather poor health, hope to have some glasses shortly. Meanwhile we still have a ton of good study material available so enjoy and may it bless you. (ES)

  • Userlib is updated to the new format, ie: you can look up books by author as well as by topic, and we are working on adding lookup by title--should make it much easier to find what you want. Many thanks to Gary Gallant for his efforts with this.(ES)
  • Many broken links corrected (mostly due to some changes at the official site). Please let me know if there are any more.(ES)

  • Can't sleep, might as well update;) -- Updated Hymnal for Online Bible -- if you gave up on this before due to the problems awhile back with scrolling--try it again, Larry Pierce in his superlative way, has repaired the problem (couple of months ago) and you can now click on the midi file and read the words to sing along with it--it's a great tool to enhance your morning devotions (or do so with your wife/kids;). I've added a few more songs to it and this is open-source, which means if you wish to add some more (must be either public domain midis or some you've made yourself) you may do so and upload it to me and I'll post it so all may benfit. You can find it on the Devotionals Page. (ES)
  • Found something I really like; a Christian internet radio station, some good preaching, Christ-oriented music, relevant news--give it a shot sometime. Related link : BVOV. (ES)
  • Meant to post about this before and forgot--I no longer have need of donations, the Lord has made provision through Social Security for us--if you see a man on the street with torn shoes--give him yours! If he looks hungry--feed him--The Lord will bless you a hundred-fold. I give thanks to the Lord for the many people who took money out of thier own pocket to keep us going and to the Lord Himself for picking me up and carrying me when it all seemed too much to bear, I had never made it through this painful trial without Him. (ES)

  • Several bad links corrected.
  • Userlib updated to reflect recent new official modules.
  • My health is making it dificult to work on new content--if anyone has fresh material they want to share that conforms with our guidelines, they are encouraged to contact me (aspillman1@hotmail.com ).
April 15th, 2002 (11:30 am, PST)
  • New E-mail address: aspillman1@hotmail.com  This should deter the many virus attempts that I get and make things safer for all. Should be some updates shortly:)(ES)

  • Just wanted to announce that we have a new message board (here) provided by Guenther Engel, it has no pop-up (or any other) ads and looks a lot more usable than the previous one (which seems to be inaccesable at the moment).
  • Links on the Utilities Page updated/corrected.
  • My E-mail address will be changing shortly, it will be posted here when I get it.

  • At long last I've updated  The Hebrew Names Version, the 3300 invalid charactors made this module a definite challange--I had to compile it in an older version of the program, so if you have problems getting it to display, that's what it is-- you can get it on the English bible translations page.(ES)
  • I'm back--at long last I'm starting to recieve some disability money from my former employer--Praise the LORD! Between that and the two folks who sent donations, I was able to pay my phone bill. Please keep praying as I'm still waiting to for approval from Social Security and the Veterens Administration. Updates will be slow (and e-mails) for the next couple of weeks, due to my dsl is still out and they won't have it hooked back up for two weeks, but I should be able to manage something. (ES)
