PERSONAL: Black Belt Grading
I had my karate black belt grading tonight. And I’m pleased (relieved?) to report that after 6 years of training, countless cracked ribs, a number of leg injuries, and a broken hand (I had to have two titanium pins put in after I broke it two years ago in a sparring match) I’ve finally made [...]

VFP: Using Microsoft Connect to log FoxPro issues

VFP: More on fanpop
So, I’ve been adding more links to fanpop in the Visual FoxPro spot.
I’d encourage you to add some as well and atleast add your rankings of the existing links. It was funny to see some of the obvious links I missed (eg I only added Calvin’s blog today!). So, there is bound to be other great [...]

VFP: How to price your VFP projects
This is a little talk I gave at the Sydney Visual FoxPro User Group last week.
It was only a short presentation (around 20 minutes) and might be of help to you in your business.

Its available from the articles page:

Go ahead and add your links, become a fan, promote Visual FoxPro and enjoy the site.

After reading GK’s post about it I though why not? Yes, its another list, and no there is nothing particularly compelling about it over all the other list sites (del.icio.us etc).
