Janice was our hotel coordinator for FoxForward 2006 and again this year. Janice and I had scheduled a meeting for yesterday to go over the room layout and our needs for the conference. Janice was to have just returned from an extended vacation to Canada to see some family and friends, and forced our meeting [...]
Gah. It’s crunch time right now. There’s stuff happening behind the scenes at a rapid pace now.
The shirts have arrived. Attendees get a t-shirt with a FoxForward logo over the breast pocket and a large logo across the back. I’m very pleased with the design of the shirts. The image was taken from the space [...]
It is getting to be a flurry of activity. I’m about to send off the conference book to publishing. I have to design the front and back cover of the book as this publisher allows for cover art.

I started writing this “series” of entries a bit ago. Yes, it has been a while since I wrote anything, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been working on it.
After thinking over converting my database to MySQL, I decided that the licensing issues may be too risky if I decide to market and sell [...]
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.
