I’m involved with three agencies in Sydney:
I also co-host HubShots, the podcast and YouTube show focussed on getting the most out of HubSpot. We are the creators of the HubShots Framework.
An interesting article in yesterday’s Australian IT caught my eye. This article (here) on Ray Ozzie is interesting to me for the following reasons:1. He promotes simple2. He is a people person3. He is honest about the challenges that Microsoft face However, the reason I link to it here is because I was wondering what possible piece of software they could easily bring with renewed...
I finally got around to fixing the hibernate issue on my notebook. XP has a known issue on notebooks with more than 1.5GB or RAM whereby it won’t hibernate properly. Rather it will wake up, stay warm, flatten your battery and then give you a ‘Insufficient system resources’ error in your system tray. Now, the fix has been available for ages, by simply calling...
I had the pleasure of meeting with Sir Terry Matthews this morning. Thanks to our friends at Ethan Group, Peter Metcalf (Talman’s MD) and I were invited to a small gathering (15 people) with Terry in which he talked about his background (btw the Wikipedia account is not quite correct – the real version is that a shipping company lost the crate of lawnmowers) and his then his...
Next Wednesday we are having a ‘Show off your application’ night, with 4 presenters getting up and demonstrating their VFP ideas and innovations. The aim is to get a broader understanding of some of the great applications out there, ask questions, and perhaps even make suggestions about how they can be improved. I expect it to be an interesting, informal, collaborative night...

And thus it was high time I got Meegos for me and Michele. Here’s me all excited about Tech*Ed: here’s me and Michele looking really cute: to Frank for pointing this out.;

But now the hard work is about to be put to the test… our software goes live at 5am Monday morning (24 July).So far it is all looking good (I’ll even be heading off early tomorrow – Friday –...
It is 15 years ago to the day that INXS, one of Australia’s greatest ever rock bands, took to the stage at Wembley Stadium and delivered the perfect rock concert. No backup dancers, no fancy lights shows, no silly interludes. Just a sensational rock concert. It showcases exceptional musicianship, as great rock song after great rock song is performed for an ecstatic crowd of over 70,000...
Interesting post over on ASP free
Here’s a quick little screencast on how easy it is to use the Visual FoxPro command line IntelliSense to discover things like object models. In this simple example I use IntelliSense to discover the Outlook object model for emails. Very simple, and aimed at the non-VFP developer to show you how useful VFP can be as a helper tool in your developer toolbox. for further information on...
A few people have mentioned the Tiobe index again (I liked Bill Coupe’s post) and VFP sitting at 13.Never mind VFP, I’m still amazed to see how well Visual Basic is doing (still going from strength to strength even though it is no longer officially supported). I was reminded of Google Trends the other day (thanks to Mitch Wheat’s post). So here’s a few...
