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 [...]
When transitioning from one language to another, there’s always an awkward time where you’re thinking like the old language, and struggling with the new.

MEPIS comes with KGhostView and KPDF for PDF reading. It used to come with the Adobe Acrobat Reader but I think they didn’t include that in the latest versions. [...]
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 $550 thereafter.
We’d love to have you attend the conference. There will be plenty of Fox presentations, as well as [...]
Today, for no apparent reason whatsoever, I’m going to list what I consider the top technologies of the last 40 years. Just out of the blue. No reason. Last 40 years. What were the top technologies to be developed or exploited? Let’s begin… in no particular order:
The Microwave Oven. [...]
I met Paul at the REAL World conference this year. Very sharp guy.
Paul says that M$ 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 [...]
Okay. Not gone. Just down. It’s weird that a major site such as this is suffering from a full failure. You sure don’t see that every day. Excite is my home page, partly because they allow me to see my anniversary dates such as birthdays, etc. plus the news as [...]

I left my wife and kids and dog at 11am this morning and began my long journey to the REAL World conference, held in Austin, Texas. While DevCon is going on in California, I’m drinking from the fire hose of REALbasic.
The flight was uneventful, which is an event all to itself! The flight [...]
