A Sacrifice

This recent post on the PandaGator blog offers a personal experience about an interesting concrete example of the kinds of sacrifices and adjustments some make to further their service in the Chinese field.

For those for whom English is not their native tongue, this dictionary page tells us that “nuts” does not necessarily mean “insane; crazy”, since another meaning is “extremely enthusiastic”.

The Next Links Email Update Is In the Works

A few have asked about the current Links email. For now, the “current” version is still the 2006-09-01 one. I realize that much time has passed since it came out, and I apologize for this long period without a Links email update. Several factors have contributed to this, including my being quite busy for a time working on my local cong.’s territory data system.

However, I would like to assure everyone that I am indeed working on the next Links email update. In addition to the reason mentioned above, it is also taking longer than usual to produce because I have redesigned the format with the goal of making it much easier to find things in the growing list of resources. Speaking of which, there will be a good number of new resources, and of updates to existing ones. I am confident that the next Links email update will be worth the wait.
