How I could not find Whatsapp at all Christian friendly

While biblical Christians may enjoy the utility of a great many non-Christian pioneered/headed services and goods (usable out of the box or with a little Christian modifications), it is not uncommon to come across pagan utilities that so declares itself as the world’s own by allowing inadequate to no modifications options. Of cause in as many such cases, Christians should be able to discern and back away accordingly. After which they may then consider mobilizing Read more…

Some measures biblical Christians may adopt to help keep safe online

I am convinced the utility of the internet is appreciated not only by pagans but also amongst the redeemed. But given its possibly injurious nature, Christian believers must need only use it with caution or it may be for their lives. While some safety measures, such as keeping away from voluntarily requesting lewd or vain content, may be obvious to any biblically zealous Christian, a handful may not. Which is why I, on this dispatch, Read more…

Web page ads blocking and Christian ethics

Ads monetizing of web content and the need for ad blockers While I must assert to that whether or not the particular content being consumed (at any given time) is consistent with Christian holiness is another study, I expect a great many earnest and biblical Christians consume internet based content on daily basis. Free as well as paid web content made available both individual as well as corporate publishers. While some free web content publishers Read more…

A formal animation project on recently acquired assets | WIP

A simple (and yet professional and cute looking so I find) animation recently undertaken. While as well meant for fun watching, the animation story themes around the goodness of God. This is a more formal animation project on the recently acquired humanoid assets. More on the project on the communication post https://communications.likechrist.co/2019/09/12/the-first-formal-animation-on-the-humanoid-assets/

The first formal animation on the humanoid assets

Sample video clip here: https://videos.likechrist.co/2019/09/12/a-formal-animated-clip-on-recently-acquired-assets-wip/ A simple (and yet professional and cute looking so I find) animation project recently undertaking. In continued concern of aggravated render time for higher resolutions, I thought I would try this one render engine that the 3D software used features. It is said to be less realistic looking but I find it quite complementary for these assets. I recently realized that the city assets used on the test animation for Read more…

Committing to debug all published games first

I have just managed to get the PC version of the 3D city driving game (mentioned here) onto a fairly usable state and expect to publish it right away. I am not sure if I should compile an Android version first. Especially since the PC version may be a little heavy for some low-end on board graphics chips. But I am otherwise committing to try and debug all published games prior to undertaking a new Read more…

Alms expected to get the first marketing campaign

After months of working on the likeChrist web infrastructures, I have yet complete the basics on generally all domains (subs and main included). With a fair amount of general cleanup, proof reading, page edits as well as feature integration/modification work still pending. The Alms platform is however a lot usable at this point and can now quite fairly serve both giving as well as needy saints. I in fact have deliberately spent a lot more Read more…

The Wendy version of the Lord’s Prayer | WIP

Video note: As with the George clip here, this is a newer ‘Wendy only’ version of ‘The Lord’s prayer’ animation published here. Project notes: I have just this rendered out and have yet to compile the combined version thereof. This was as well rendered on 480p on this one cloud render service that recently offered support for multiple image rendering (after I had only found it to offered single image render at the time). Each Read more…

Settled for likeChrist.co for the time being

After some earnest comparisons, I settled for the .co TLD. As I journal this, I am about 30% through the actual files migration process. While the URLs and their respecting SSL certificates are already functional. Being something I do not do very often, I run into frequent dead ends requiring prior research or refreshing breaks. Working about a stretch on overall progress (been around two days now). The domain name and SSL certificates were secured Read more…

Domain hosting plan finally upgraded

As noted here, I already had reasons to believe that the hosting plan then at hand could use upgrading. But I did not expect to hike resource usage just by carrying out modifications. Which should also explain why I first had to suspect poor signal – until I had to access the control panel (cPanel) and found that the CPU usage peaked to 99% (100% at one point). Coming to think of it, I certainly Read more…

Betty’s disconsolation reattempted with new assets

Video notes: This should essentially be the same test animation published here (reattempted with the newly acquired humanoid assets). Project notes: Being still a test, not much effort was made animating these newer assets. I should still retry another God willing. This clip was rendered on 854×480 (with 2550 frames) and still took over 60 hours to render). Facts that aggravates the my wish for a worthier render rig. P.S. Turns out the city environment Read more…

Kids colorful tanker truck assembling stop-motion video

Video note: A Christian friendly kids stop motion animation of a colorful tanker truck assembling. Project notes: When these (a set of four) were bought for the boys over two week ago, I also so heartily wished to have them on a stop motion animation video – but this could not be easily possible as I had not gotten to designate a space for this work type ever since we left Gogo’s. Scene setup in Read more…
