Changes to our service time zone on 06 April 2025.
Starting Sunday 06 April 2025, the standard time zone for Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney, and surrounding areas will change from AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time, UTC+11) to AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time, UTC+10) as the summer season and the Daylight Saving Time (DST) period has officially ended. This change will impact your experience with our services, especially those living outside the states of ACT, NSW, and VIC, Australia. Indonesian users should note that the Melbourne time zone will soon become 3 hours (formerly 4 hours) earlier from the standard western (WIB) time zone from this date onwards to 05 October 2025, where the next DST period should officially start in Australia.

Thank you, GMS Jakarta Jawa Barat Banten Education Department!
My Spiritual Journey (MSJ) is an open, class series for getting people know more about the basics and values of Christianity, entirely based on Biblical principles. It has also become the foundation of discipleship and leadership in Gereja Mawar Sharon (GMS) and Rose of Sharon Church (ROSC). In mid-2022 I secretly joined the Education department of GMS Jakarta to help them manage all the students, especially MSJ 1, 2, and 3. I quickly realized that these great classes are still managed by a small number of people (40-ish), but well, we can serve tens of thousands of students in a year! Who said working in a department that just schedule Zoom meetings and take notes of attending participants? Having some expertise back then in digitalizing HIMTI BINUS' events back then, I decided to create another Telegram bot to automatically generate contact cards from a single spreadsheet! This year, as we decided to hold more classes, we expect the numbers to double, or even triple. Of course, this is all made possible by everyone, the church who actively find for missing souls and guide everyone to receive, walk, and lead in Christ. As our Jakarta region expanded to Jakarta-Tangerang-Kelapa Gading, our church administration region was even more entrusted and merged with GMS Jawa Barat to form a large region, GMS Jakarta Jawa Barat Banten (JJB). Our Education team has expanded, too, that we have to adapt with the planting of new churches, which means a whole new location that we should serve as well. But unfortunately, that Telegram bot had to be shut down as we move to a new administration and attendance system by the church. And that could be a good thing as I will leave Indonesia over the upcoming weeks. That said, thank you to God and the greater ministry team to make our great efforts possible ❤️
Announcing the development of Shiftine, the Content Multiplexing System.
In the coming months, we decided to completely replace 90% of our websites, either powered by: Google Sites HAM (like our digital garden) Odoo (as currently used in Shiftine) T-3000 (our latest reinhart1010.id source code) into a single, custom-made content management system (CMS) to standardize the look, feel, and features to our websites. Our general purpose is to let future website improvements to be shipped as quick as possible, and to let ourselves build even faster microsites and content, combining the simplicity of text-based content (like Markdown and YAML) with rich-layout editing. What does this mean… For most users Most users will see significant changes to our website appearance, which will become more unifed than ever. And most users should benefit from our official support for older web browsers, from the latest browsers down to KaiOS and Opera Mini. We are also planning to add non-HTTPS mode for WAP browsers, as well as support for Gemini Protocol. Note that in order to continue accessing our site from HTTPS, your browser and/or operating system needs to meet the minimum system requirements for Let's Encrypt ISRG Root X1 to work. Expect new features carried from our main WordPress instance to the non-WordPress ones, such as a dedicated Category and Tag page, all with necessary RSS/Atom feeds. Internally, we would like to completely break up with WordPress. No, not because of the political movements that hit WPEngine over the last months, but to have a state-of-the-art version of Block Editor that allows us to adjust certain content for different protocol targets (which include HTTPS, HTTP/WAP, and Gemini). For users with JavaScript disabled Even though we are interested in adopting a reactive-style as a whole, we do understand the needs of certain users who have JavaScript disabled. And in fact, this is why we decided to remade our website to serve high-quality features even with JavaScript disabled. For the HAM website framework We will still develop and support HAM in the near future, but for our HAM websites like our digital garden, we will introduce two additional features to ease the transition to our Content Multiplexing System: Raw Markdown access in the published site Custom canonical HTML meta tag so search engine would preferably use the links hosted by our new CMS For the fans of Shiftine We want to import some easter eggs that make Shiftine, Shiftine. But for the lore, hmm… it's the moment where she floats over the clouds to send a smiling 200 OK to serve people across worlds and nations.
