Hi, I’m Craig Bailey and this is my personal blog where I write about technology, business systems, HubSpot, marketing strategy and general life experiences. You can read my posts here.
(If you are looking for the Content is King post by Bill Gates it is here)
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.
Scotty Wakefield blogs about how our Team Foundation Server went down over the weekend. Most likely due to a Windows Update on the SQL Server, but we’re still not sure. And no, before you ask, we don’t have Automatic updates on (who in their right mind would on a production server?) But in Australia we’ve just had the Commonwealth Games and someone in their wisdom (the...
One of the great things about an event like OzFox Lite is that you get to see how talented some of our local Fox developers are. What a shame we don’t see more of them speaking at user groups. In fact, what a shame we don’t have more user groups! So, let me remind you (and I am directing this primarily at the Australian Fox community) that Andrew Coates said he would...
At OzFox Lite I encouraged people to start blogging (especially the speakers… why present to just 50 people when you could be presenting to hundreds all around the world?). I figure the more people blogging about Fox the better. And in response I’ve had a number of people ask how they can start blogging. So, here are two easy options to get started blogging asap…...
Just confirming that the Sydney Visual FoxPro User Group is ON tomorrow night.Unfortunately Scott has had to pull out of his presentation, but John Burrows and I will be presenting.We’ll be resuming our Q+A time as well. See you there, 6:30pm at Microsoft, North Ryde.www.svfpug.com.au
Two of the mini-highlights of the conference were the OzFox Lite promo and keynote by Craig Boyd. I’ve now copied both up to the web site for your enjoyment. The promo is roughly 3MB and can be found here. The opening keynote is 22MB and can be found here. Visual FoxPro Rocks! Enjoy. There are other links being added as well (check out the News page) www...
UPDATE: Threader code and presentation links are now available from my Threader page. Not sure why the previous post got chopped, but here it is again… The code from my session on simulating multi-threading in VFP (Visual FoxPro) is available from my Threader page the OzFox site (go to the Session descriptions page here and scroll to the bottom). I had a whole bunch of suggestions over...
The code from my session on simulating multi-threading in VFP is available from the OzFox site (go to the Session descriptions page here and scroll to the bottom). I had a whole bunch of suggestions over the weekend to improve it, so I may update this in the coming weeks. Also, check out the great OzFox Lite promo (that Craig Boyd put together) shown in the opening session of...
Developers around Australia and New Zealand, you should be making your way to one of the code camps coming up in late April. For Australian devs I can wholeheartedly recommend CodeCampOz, co-organised by Greg Low, one of our speakers at OzFox Lite. I was there last year and can tell you it is a great place to learn about .Net, SQL Server and BizTalk. I anticipate this year’s Code Camp...

I’m writing this at the end of the first day of OzFox Lite. Andrew Coates is in the home stretch of his talk on VFP and SQL Express. After this we head out to dinner and then some Xbox 360 action (yes Microsoft have come through with a 360!). All in all I am extremely pleased with the first day. Greg Low kicked us off with an overview of the great developer tools in SQL...
