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.
I’m involved with two 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.
I know this is old news now, but if you haven’t heard, Universal Thread is making their two magazines available free to Universal Thread members. You can read about it here: at Sydney VFP UG the other night there were still some people who don’t use UT – if that is you then what could possibly be stopping you now? Start here: OzFox Lite attendees that loved Larry’s...
Since OzFox Lite on the weekend, I’ve been trying to catch up on work – I’m way behind. So, one thing I am lagging on is explaining our thoughts for the full OzFox (or OzFox Heavy as some have started referring to it as). For now I have put a brief summary of the feedback from attendees at OzFox Lite (you can see that here). Whilst I haven’t had a chance to talk...
I’ve posted a few more of the sessions from OzFox Lite up on the site. They include Andrew Coates’ session using VFP with SQL Express (see also his blog post pointing to the management tools), Eka’s on SQL Tips and Rahul’s awesome whitepaper on converting VFP up to SQL (22 pages of great discussion). www.ozfox.com.au
I’m still getting through my thank yous from OzFox Lite. And one that I should have mentioned earlier is a big thank you to Anatoliy for generously donating a few copies of his excellent Win32 Offline viewer to the conference. I know you all know this, but I’m gonna say it again anyway – I reckon the Win32 Api site is one of the best resources around:;
Great to see Doug Hennig blogging here: Craig and Rick this means the full admin team of SednaX is all blogging now Also great to see Jamie Osbourne blogging again – I agree with his thoughts on Dev tools driving the real cash cows…
Here’s another reminder to Australian developers to get along to CodeCampOz in just under a month’s time. Covering .Net, SQL 2K5 and BizTalk aswell as general developer skills, this is an excellent 2 days of learning. It is organised by Greg Low and Mitch Denny. btw if anyone is interested, here’s my post about last year’s event.
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
