Almost a year later, Sermon 27 has finally surfaced.

05-19-2022

Sermon 26 has been uploaded.

01-03-2022

Sermon 25 has been uploaded. I didn't think this would take six months, but in my defense, a lot has happened.

07-11-2021

Sermon 24 has been uploaded. Sermon 25 to follow "soon"

12-24-2020

Sermon 23 has been uploaded. Happy holidays, Outlanders.

06-30-2020

Sermon 22 has been uploaded, amid global disease and unrest. Stay safe, Outlanders.

10-11-2019

A new essay has been uploaded, "Entering Paradise, Our Mother," which turned out to be pretty necessary to explaining a few points in Sermon 21, which is also ready.

02-27-2019

Sermon 20 has been uploaded. The delay was astonishing, but we got a lot of great work done in preparation for the rest of Vivec's children. Also, to be completely transparent, a lot of life happened to me over the past few years, and a lot of my hobbies suffered for it.

02-26-2019

For the first time in years, I've updated the site. Here's a list of what got done:

  • Rebuilt the entire structure and layout of the Lessons section of the site. Now we're using...

    • A CSS Grid layout to manage the left and right panes

    • Data element-driven JS to match comments to lesson links

    • A restructured DOM for better SEO (still gotta do Aria elements though)

    • A new modal system for inlined texts and links that didn't need to link externally

  • Shifted the entire site to PHP (with few exceptions) and SCSS. This should reduce the amount of repetitive code, and create a much more consistent interface across the site.

  • I've reprogrammed all the jQuery across the site for a way mo betta speed improvement on an already fast system. It probably didn't need to be done, but I couldn't stop myself from fixing something that was badly made.

  • The mobile experience on the site has been improved across the board. This will also improve our SEO considering Google will be kinder to my scores.

  • The site is also now using a new custom font icon suite to communicate key UI elements for a better user experience.

Updated Sermon 18 with less idiocy and obvious mistakes.

09-22-2016

Wow. Sermon 18 took me 3 months to write. At this rate, I'll be dead before I'm done here.

Well, the good news is that I'm significantly reducing the number of hobbies I try to support. Music and wargaming is out the window, for better or for worse.

06-22-2016

Apparently I forgot to update this file when I uploaded Sermon 16. I'm only noticing now because I just uploaded Sermon 17. So hey, that's what I've been doing.

10-23-2015

Sermon 15 is up. This one's got some seriously long comments in it. Sorry 'bout that.

09-27-2015

Just a tiny update. I've converted the lessons over to PHP format, which makes updates a lot more consistent because there's less text to duplicate, and by extension, less chances to screw something up.

Unfortunately this also means that the lessons will load a tiny bit slower than they used to.

I've also uploaded the narrations for Sermons 01-14, so that little media player thing should be working now.

08-17-2015

Well, it took me nearly three months to the day, but I finally put up Sermon 14. There's also a new feature to the site, a little secret I've dotted around the site for you to find. You can thank Qu1nlan for the real work.

05-18-2015

A fresh round of upgrades to Sermon 09 and Sermon 13 after some very helpful suggestions by reddit user Cheydin.

05-12-2015

Uploaded Sermon 13.

04-29-2015

Went back and added a few lines to a few Sermons here and there, mostly to help tie together connections made in Sermon 13. Nothing Earth-shattering, really.

04-07-2015

Sermon 12 finally sees the light of day. I'm uploading literally seconds after I've finished typing it up, so expect a few small unlogged updates to follow as the community finds little mistakes that snuck past me.

03-09-2015

Sermon 11 is up. I'm not even going to bother to mention the number of tiny changes I made to other Sermons because they're far too small to make much of a difference.

03-05-2015

Minor edits to Sermon 10. Like, you know, changing the title to "Sermon Ten" instead of "Sermon Eight." Durrrrrr...

02-18-2015

Added Sermon 10, and made some additional edits to previous Sermons.

01-21-2015

Changed some of the descriptions of Mantling in Sermon 06, having been reminded of a connection by someone in /tg/. Good on ya, Anon.

01-13-2015

Happy new year! Sermon 09 is up. Expect minor changes to texts in previous sermons that are aren't worth mentioning here.

12-22-2014

Uploaded Sermon 08. Minor alterations to other Lessons.

11-19-2014

Changed a few mistakes in Sermon 05, which is not a great piece of work in general, I think.

11-06-2014

At long last, Sermon 07. Additional Sermons are going to be slow going for the next few months as I work out some real life job stuff. Thanks for your patience.

08-08-2014

Added Sermon 06. Made minor changes to some of the other Sermons, but nothing earth-shattering.

08-05-2014

Fixed a bad tag in Sermon 03.

06-19-2014

Sermon 05 is up. Some more changes to prevous sermons, as well as a global switch to gender-neutral pronouns.

05-29-2014

Added Sermon 04, changed some layout here and there, updated the Index's layout in a few ways that amuse me but largely amount to nothing more than that. Also Sermons 1-3 got a few very minor changes and corrections in both layout and content.
