More good feedback and more changes to the CULLYTech Pomodoro Timer. There are new VCR style buttons for play and stop. There is a new Pause button! Handy for when you are interrupted. It happens in real life, so I thought I’d put on a pause button. I’ve made small [...]
A developer friend of mine, Toni Feltman, was Tweeting about reading the Pomodoro Technique. This technique is meant to increase productivity by focusing on a task uninterpted for 25 minute blocks, followed by a short break, and then repeating.

I’m really liking that we can now purchase DRM free music in the form of MP3s. Napster, Amazon, Walmart, and others finally are providing the way to purchase music without handcuffs for personal use. I’m finally glad to see the music industry to get that bug out of their … but something isn’t quite right.

My friend, Russell Campbell, sent me this link this morning.

I just wanted to give you a friendly reminder that the next price bump or FoxForward is coming up this weekend. Either way, it is still great value at $450 by this weekend, or $550 thereafter.
We’d love to have you attend the conference. There will be plenty of Fox presentations, as well as [...]
I met Paul at the REAL World conference this year. Very sharp guy.
Paul says that M$ isn’t dead, it’s gone off it’s rails insane. Read more at his blog at Software Made Simple.
The Visual Foxpro crowd is left adrift same as the VB6 crowd that Paul mentions. M$ expects us to enter their newly created [...]
In this screencast, I’m taking a simple REALbasic example application, doing a quick show of the code behind the scenes, and building the application for Linux and Windows. The results and operation are virtually identical on both platforms. Take a look!

I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time; create a screencast of the REALbasic IDE. In this video, I start from square one, a blank RB project. I show some of application settings, forms, menus, and how to build the project. Very basic but I think it shows the fundamentals [...]
Have you heard me, or someone else, perhaps a news story mention Linux? Perhaps you’re curious and you want to see what it would be like to download and try out Linux, even what it would take to install it. What does it look like? Is it hard to use?
The following online [...]
