TRAVEL: Make sure you get Sydney right

Posted on December 30, 2006. Filed under: Visual FoxPro |

Whilst this news story (here) sounds a little bit suspicious (it is too early to check it on Snopes yet), it does raise an important point… if you are coming to OzFox 2007 from overseas, make sure you end up in Sydney (Australia) not those other differently spelled cities that sound similar.

PERSONAL: Back from New York

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

Michele and I managed to get away to New York for a few days last week. It was our first time there, and we were totally blown away. What a fantastic, vibrant, busy, diverse, over-the-top city. Michele wants to move there.
We only had time to spend 4 days in Manhatten, but we crammed in as [...]

SOFTWARE: Office 2007 Upgrade stumbles

Posted on December 2, 2006. Filed under: Visual FoxPro |

So, I ‘finally’ {g} upgraded to Office 2007. Nothing particularly interesting about that, except to say that I too am indebted to Scott Hanselman (along with many thousands around the globe…)

But Scott guided me through it all with his great [...]
