This (old) article on the ‘tyranny’ of IT departments caught my eye: sure we’ve all had experiences both positive and negative dealing with IT departments. But what interested me most was how many comments there were – so many people felt the need to ‘share’ their experience (most in defence of IT departments interestingly enough). I’d never have thought...
An interesting approach to security and detecting online fraudstershttp://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/redirect?source=rss&url= software mentioned uses a bunch of techniques including: The software also monitors other characteristics of account holders, such as their style of typing and mouse movements to determine whether the user attempting a transaction is the actual account holder...

Aimed at .Net developers, here’s two quick screencasts about Microsoft’s Visual FoxPro tool, covering databinding and very simple SQL Server access: And here’s an ‘elevator’ pitch on Visual FoxPro (OK, so maybe it is a bit long – perhaps it is a ‘Wynyard Station escalator’ speech…):: Thanks to Calvin Hsia for the script of one of the...
And yet another impressive blog on Visual FoxPro starts up. Nice one Bernardhttp://weblogs.foxite.com/bernardbout/ One cool thing that many people don’t know about is that you can do a Save as class… on many objects. Bernard’s post has a perfect example of this in action. Bernard sent me some screen shots of some really cool FoxPro applications he has built...
I’m glad to report that I think we have a solution (and a surprisingly simple one at that) to our FoxTabs crash issue. Tracy P put us on a good path and we have been testing successfully so far.You can follow the forum thread here if you are interested. If all stays good we will be putting out a new release of FoxTabs within a week. Thanks to everyone who sent us...
Scott Scovell and I have been toying with the idea of hosting some Skypecasts on Visual FoxPro.If you aren’t familiar with the concept you can check it out here (not sure why it is a https link btw). The aim would be to have a few people (say 10-15) join the discussion, which we record and then make available to anyone interested (probably hosted on our OzFoxRocks site)...
Scott and I are back on the FoxTabs case (after a couple of months distracted by other things – news on that in a few weeks). We are keen to resolve the big show stopper, which is it will crash if there are compile errors in prg, forms or class code. To replicate this, all you need to do is run up FoxTabs, open a prg and type some dodgy code. Try to run the prg and whammo you...
