Well, it’s great to be back. The last few weeks of ‘increased productivity’ J have been due to my notebook’s premature death. Not to worry, Magic Dave (Talman’s IT guru) got me all back up and running and in the process loaded Vista on my machine (the machine required a complete reformat and install). And on the weekend I finally got around to reinstalling FeedDemon...
Thanks to Pete Huish for sending this little gem to me. Yes, we’ve all sat through these kinds of presentations – in fact some of the examples here are so bad I was wondering if they had been staged… but very funny all the same.

SOLUTION: Reduce the MTU setting on my ADSL router PROBLEM: We had a really weird thing happening from home where wee couldn’t connect to a few web sites. Microsoft was one and SMH (A sydney newspaper) was another. But all others were fine. Also, Michele and I trouble sending and receiving email from our home account. I could VPN in to work and browse the sites fine, so it was looking like...

Goran is the manager of the Tab Menus project on VFPx, a big supporter of VFP in Australia and an all round good guy (perhaps even a clever cookie :-)

Just a quick note to publicly thank Mitch and Greg for putting on another excellent code camp this year. The sessions covered .Net, AJAX, SharePoint, Security, TFS, WCF, WPF, BizTalk, CRM, Windows Mobile 6, Parallel computing and even XNA. I’ve been to all 3 code camps so far, and in my opinion they are getting better. The presenters this year were all of high standard. They are also...
Here’s some interesting stats from the OzFox networking session. At the networking session there were 40 or so attendees (plus the speakers). I have not included the speakers in the results below. I asked the following questions about VFP developer ‘behaviour’: How many people attend User Groups (VFP or other): 21 (ie ~50%)How many read blogs (VFP or other): 23 (ie >50%)How...

Much to be said about this in the coming weeks, but for now I think he has given us a good summary and clear direction. Plenty to discuss – I’ll be posting about this in a week or so once I have collected all my thoughts… btw YAG, thank you for all the hard work you and the team have done lately. I have such high respect for you. I wouldn’t like to be in your shoes at the...
I’m way behind on my post conference posts, but here’s a few photos in the interim:

After a very comfortable and hassle free flight I’ve made it to my hotel in Seattle (I’m here for the MVP Summit starting on Monday). I spent a few hours wandering around downtown: checking out the Pike Place Markets (as you do) and then trying in vain to find a coffee place {g}. After searching high and low for a Starbucks I was only able to find 37 of them within an hour...
