I’ve been doing more web site designs lately. My clients will often give me hundreds of product images that I need to manipulate. I’ve got Thumbnailer on the Windows platform to do a lot of my processing.
However, I’ve taken to adding borders to the images. Typically I’m adding a white inner border, [...]
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.
I [...]
I’ve got two blogs, and I use Wordpress for a wide variety of my clients as a way for them to update their web sites. It’s worked out very well. It’s always been a pain, and a worry, to keep all of their Wordpress installations updated. In fact, this blog has been attacked many times [...]
How many times have you visited a web site, and it’s down. Then you begin to wonder if maybe it’s your connection? or your DSN? or a fiber cable cut? Sure, you can try pinging and tracerouting, but it sure would be nice to have another opinion.

I’ve been putting off this official announcement for a while now. It is my unpleasant task of announcing that I won’t be hosting FoxForward in 2008, and I don’t have plans for another one.

I’m on a Linux laptop and I have left my Beyond Compare behind on my [...]
My friend, Russell Campbell, sent me this link this morning.
Gates talks up declarative modeling language effort
F(@*$($(*&*#(*$$*#()@)
I’m so happy I’m getting off the M$ B$.
Here’s my favorite quote that I think says it all: “It’s something that will change software development…”
Of course this is a gem too:
“… a lot of business logic can be done [...]
Yes, it’s true. I get much of my information based on blogs and links to other sites from blogs. Considering that most of the mainstream news is the same from site to site to site, I only need to read one news site, and I feel as if I’ve read them all. [...]
Cathy Poutney blogged the other day about Foxpro User Groups. Evidently they’re having some trouble keeping things going.
We’re lucky to have a very active Foxpro Users Group here in Atlanta. http://afug.com I think we continue to be successful because of our group effort. Russell Campbell is a great president, partly [...]
Here is a short but sweet article on REALbasic from InfoWorld.
The main gist of the article is that RB2008R1 will be gaining the features of introspection and possibly some web features. What I’m wondering is if these two things are directly related. To create an AJAX version of a RB form, say, a program could [...]
