Interesting to see the old stories come out again:
Nice shirt!
(Sorry if you’ve already seen this)

You may have read Milind’s October letter where he mentions how to log feedback on the SP2 CTP. He links to the Connect site here: It can be difficult to navigate however, so here’s a quick summary of how to get through the maze that is… Microsoft Connect. Summary: go here to search, go here to lodge feedback, click here to view FoxPro items Note 1: you will need to log in using...

So, I’ve been adding more links to fanpop in the Visual FoxPro spot. I’d encourage you to add some as well and atleast add your rankings of the existing links. It was funny to see some of the obvious links I missed (eg I only added Calvin’s blog today!). So, there is bound to be other great links to add. Anyone can add a link, and anyone can rate the links. Don’t be...

So it was around 7pm tonight (Friday) and I am about to head home from work. A quick scan of the blogs heralds the availability of SP2 CTP for Visual FoxPro 9. You ripper. Michele is out tonight, so what better way to entertain myself than playing with the latest Sedna CTP and checking the SP2 CTP… The Sedna CTP installs fine, but SP2 throws in the towel with a ‘cannot find vs_setup...

This is a little talk I gave at the Sydney Visual FoxPro User Group last week.It was only a short presentation (around 20 minutes) and might be of help to you in your business.It is non-technical and covers basic concepts for pricing your work.Its available from the articles page: enough I’ve been getting requests to do more presentations along these lines. At our next meeting...

Yes, its another list, and no there is nothing particularly compelling about it over all the other list sites (del.icio.us etc). But I like how you can add your ‘fan’ weight behind a particular...

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a cheap (perhaps free) stripped down version of Microsoft Project? Today we took on the third big client in a row who is using Excel to project manage their project. Insane right? Here’s how they do it. Tasks go down the first column. The other columns represent dates. They size the date columns about 10 wide and colour...

Nice one Kevin! the comments to get the full story – wOOdy is particularly useful 

OzFox is happening again next February. The dates are 25-27 February 2007. Details are starting to appear on the site… www.ozfox.com.au By early October we’ll have most of the details confirmed (eg a final price!). Registration will open in mid-October. Australia and New Zealand, put these dates in your diary – it’s gonna be huge! 

TECHED: TechEd clarifications – the need for clear directionI’ve had very little feedback on my TechEd Disappointment post (even though surprisingly it has become my second most hit post of the last 6 months). Of the feedback I have received there has been two main points:1.       The post was far too long and wordy – yep, can’t deny this (in fact...
