VFP Videos

If you haven't downloaded them yet, take a flip over to Google Video and just go here. In fact, even if you have, do so! They're great videos!

Courtesy of Kevin Ragsdale, it looks like there's a pretty catchy VFP tune there.

Hey Kev - mind if I use it as well for future FoxShows?

I loved the Project DOA one - is that video clip that you used public domain?

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the kind words!

Of COURSE you can use the music (if you get it from STOCK20.COM) for the FoxShow.

I'd like to see that little clip (Metallicated) become synonomous with Visual FoxPro.

The movie clip was from a public domain movie called D.O.A. (one of my favorites from the golden age).

I downloaded it from the Internet Archive, then did a screen record through Camtasia and converted it to AVI.

Not too bad for a 5 year-old laptop, eh? :)

Blogs and RSS come to Microsoft.com

MS has just introduced their portal and it's pretty comprehensive. Nothing quite like learning that some people use AIM instead of MSN messenger, or that there really may be a need for supporting 4 monitors ( Cyrus Complains ) However, it's really a great sign that MS is serious about supporting the blogging community which seems to have um, exploded in size in the past year.

FoxInCloud Stats

FoxInCloud sent this link a while back about their statistics regarding visits to their site: http://foxincloud.com/blog/2017/12/27/VFP-community-lessons-from-foxincloud-site.html What's interesting here is the breakdown of people. Yes, I think it's understandable that the Fox community is getting older. Another factor is the growth of the mobile and web environments taking over development. These environments really do push people towards the newer non-SQL or free SQL/hosted environments but more towards hosted storage options like Amazon and Google. A tool like FoxInCloud that helps MOVE existing applications to the cloud inherently competes with those environments. But FoxInCloud also allows developers to extend their application further by giving them a starting point using Javascript and the basic CSS (such as Bootstrap). If you're not rebuilding your application from scratch, it's certainly a great step forward. FoxPro VFP

Facebook Revolt - imeem alternatives?

When Scoble noted how Facebook under major revolt , I immediately thought of a site I found yesterday. The value offered by Facebook's feeds however do seem very cool - if only they had been smart and made them opt-in, instead of opt-out. I have been impressed though with Facebook's opening of their API's - they certainly get it that they need to open it up to developers. I haven't really explored this other site, beyond my first look. In some ways, I think the whole social networking site thing is just silly , but this site (imeem) definitely showed some value. I could find music (as posted by the artist), it worked in Firefox and it allowed people to rank, add to delicious and more. And when I'm looking at someone, I can see what they're up to (or rather what they allow us to see). Anyways, you may want to check it out.
