PERSONAL: Congratulations to Michele

Posted on November 28, 2006. Filed under: Visual FoxPro |

The results came out on Monday, and I’m very proud to inform that Michele has been awarded First Class Honours in her Psychology degree.
Further, her thesis on Happiness has been recommended for publication (this is a big thing in psychology as it needs to be peer reviewed before any reputable psychology publication will even [...]

PERSONAL: Twin Cities update

Posted on November 28, 2006. Filed under: Visual FoxPro |

So, life is interesting in Minneapolis currently. The last week has been very child focussed {g}. Jack (my newest nephew) and Jackie came home from hospital and are doing well.
I now have a great empathy for new parents. Not that I’ve had anywhere near the stress, joy, lack of sleep, concern, excitement and life that James [...]

PERSONAL: Australia prominent in US news

Posted on November 23, 2006. Filed under: Visual FoxPro |

Great to see that Australia looms large on the global arena. After reading through USA Today, Investor’s Business Daily and The Wall Street Journal, here’s the sum total of the references to Australia (down the bottom of the screenshot).Makes me proud.
Here’s the lame article it refers to in Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph.No wonder many [...]

PERSONAL: Happy Turkey Day

Posted on November 23, 2006. Filed under: Visual FoxPro |

Today is Thanksgiving Day in the US. Being an ignorant Australian I knew very little about what the day celebrated. Wikipedia gives a decent overview here. See also the entry (some unverified) about Squanto.
Have a great day folks.

Note: This is a personal (and thus perhaps boring to many) post. A while back I combined all my blogs into one and simply prefixed each post title with a label.
So, if you are only interested in VFP then feel free to skip this and any other non-VFP related entries
But, to the readers [...]

PERSONAL: Made it to Minneapolis

Posted on November 17, 2006. Filed under: Visual FoxPro |

What a pleasant trip to Minnesota we’ve had.
It all started when we logged onto Qantas the night before our flight and discovered our Frequent Flyer points upgrade had come through – we were upgraded to Business class.
So as you can imagine, the flight over was fantastic. In fact everything about our trip, starting from the [...]

MUSIC: Judges – the next demo track

Posted on November 14, 2006. Filed under: Visual FoxPro |

Thought a few people might be interested in this demo track. You might know I’ve been playing with a bunch of guys for years now, and we’ve been (very slowly) getting some more songs together. Here’s a very rough demo (without any vocals) of one of our songs. I think it works well as an [...]

Michele and I leave for Minnesota tomorrow for 7 weeks.
The last few weeks have been hectic for both of us. Michele finished her final Honours year exams last week and handed in her thesis on Happiness (you might remember this post earlier in the year). I’ve been finishing a few projects and preparing to leave [...]
