The revolution should be ,um, streamed

Hey Craig - as you go out on the VFP World Domination tour, (love the name), do us all a favor and record it.

I know it's always tough recording a session - but tools like GoToMeeting make it easier for others to come on and see it, OR you can use the free Windows Media Encoder to do it.

This brings me up to one of my gripes about the various user groups. You guys are getting great speakers and great topics all around yet you aren't letting the rest of the VFP world know about it afterwards.

FoxIte will let you set up a blog quickly and easily - you can do your part with VFP World Domination by setting one up and making your reviews or coverages of your meetings available to all.

If any user group leader has never taken part in recording a session like this, drop me an email and I'll set one up to show you how it can be done. It takes very little time and it's worth it for everyone.

Since I'm doing "shout outs", this goes double for conference organizers (but I think I'm repeating myself)

I'm hoping to capture some screencasts, if not video of the Fox Forward conference. I dropped you an email yesterday. Did you happen to get it?

Yes I did, Kevin.

While I can appreciate that video will be tough, even doing a podcast or screencast (with audio) of it would be totally awesome.

Elevating Project Specifications with Three Insightful ChatGPT Prompts

For developers and testers, ChatGPT, the freely accessible tool from OpenAI, is game-changing. If you want to learn a new programming language, ask for samples or have it convert your existing code. This can be done in Visual Studio Code (using GitHub CoPilot) or directly in the ChatGPT app or web site.  If you’re a tester, ChatGPT can write a test spec or actual test code (if you use Jest or Cypress) based on existing code, copied and pasted into the input area. But ChatGPT can be of huge value for analysts (whether system or business) who need to validate their needs. There’s often a disconnect between developers and analysts. Analysts complain that developers don’t build what they asked for or ask too many questions. Developers complain that analysts haven’t thought of obvious things. In these situations, ChatGPT can be a great intermediary. At its worst, it forces you to think about and then discount obvious issues. At best, it clarifies the needs into documented requirements. ...

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.

I’m Supposed to Know

https://programmingzen.com/im-supposed-to-know/ Great post for developers who are struggling with unrealistic expectations of what they should know and what they shouldn't. Thirty-forty years ago, it was possible to know a lot about a certain environment - that environment was MS-DOS (for non Mac/UNIX systems). . There was pretty much only a handful of ways to get things going. Enter networking. That added a new wrinkle to how systems worked. Networks back then were finicky. One of my first jobs was working on a 3COM + LAN and it then migrated to LAN Manager. Enter Windows or the graphical user interface. The best depiction of the complexity Windows (OS/2, Windows NT, etc) introduced that I recall was by Charles Petzold (if memory serves) at a local user group meeting. He invited a bunch of people on the stage and then acted as the Windows "Colonel", a nice play on kernel. Each person had a role but to complete their job they always had to pass things back to h...
