Hi, I’m Craig Bailey and this is my personal blog where I write about technology, business systems, HubSpot 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.
Our thanks for the great feedback we’ve received on Solution Explorer, especially from Craig Boyd. The funny thing is that at OzFox last year there was zero interest expressed – but it was only a prototype at that stage and it was the last session of the night…
We’ll post details on schedules shortly.
After posting the presentation from Sydney VFP UG last week I was alerted to the fact that the resize workaround doesn’t work for VFP8 (or earlier) since it relies on VFP9 Anchors.
The updated presentation is here
Specifically this topic (which is an improvement on the original workaround anyway)
Sample code is here
There’s been a few discussions lately about a Solution Explorer for VFP (see Craig Boyd’s mention here for example). I note that Craig Bernston is working on one and there are probably others out there.Here’s a link to a presentation Scott Scovell gave at OzFox last year and then re-presented at the Sydney VFP UG this month.Scott is planning to open it up to the community later...
We had a great meeting last night, and next month is looking awesome too
Links and details of presentations are on the site
And the OzFoxRox! podcast idea got a very enthusiastic response
A few interesting links doing the rounds

Every so often a new person turns up at the Sydney VFP User Group and asks where they can find information on a VFP related item. Usually I send them an email afterwards with a list of VFP resources. But to save time I’ve compiled a list here. There are many others ofcourse, but these are some main ones to get started with.[Update: Added The FoxPro Show in the podcast section]Microsoft VFP...
The next UG meeting (27 July 2005) is looking good – see UG site here and UG blog here
I’ve had a few queries from people about the next OzFox.The answer is that we are planning to have the next OzFox in September 2006.This is a deliberate move away from an annual event to a bi-annual one (bi-annual? I never know whether that means twice every year, or every two years, but you get the point). This was based on feedback from OzFox 2004 attendees who said having the conference...
Rick writes about his feelings of distress with American business (and this could be equally applied to Australia). I think it is an important read, now more than ever, regardless of whether you agree with him or not. So where do you start? Well, start with the small things. You may think the following is trivialising the issue (not at all my intention), but it is very funny and makes a good...
I’ve been looking forward to this book The Historian for a while.Dymocks and other stores advised me I wouldn’t be able to get my hands on it until July 4. But my wife suggested I place a hold on it at the library. The library web site advises me yesterday it is ready for collection. So I picked it up today (July 2) even though it is not available in the stores until Monday. Love it...
