FoxPro workBLOGS and MORE… . . .

This has been sitting in my desktop for a week now. I was supposed to upload this when we were offline for three days last week. All the time we thought it was an ISP-related problem after the storm. Turns out, I accidentally turned off the radio to PC power switch.

Paul Mrozowski: Alternative to Modal VFP Forms.

Another Visual FoxPro-related article at boodezybux.com: Visual FoxPro is still here, still very relevant. This one's from Sylvester Alelele.

Not to be confused with David T. Anderson's November 2004 article: Visual FoxPro 9.0: Still Here, Still Relevant.

Here's another article mentioned by Alelele: Where have you gone, Visual FoxPro?

Bodeezy Bux: Building Data Aware Applications with Visual FoxPro Part III: Universal Data Access.

Microsoft breathes life into FoxPro.

And here's the related ZDNet article from Mary-Jo Foley.

FoxProAnswers.com. Not as free and extensive as Universal Thread and Foxite but hey... I'm glad to find new Fox-related sites. WhoIs says it was created just last year.

Jun Tangunan has this article on Converting File to PDF via ShellExecute().

We'll definitely look into this, considering the problems a PHP Team developer is facing with his PDF generation process that is taking months already.

Speaking of months... it has been 6... 7 months since I have seen something new from Foxite's Download section.

Ah yes. They're back.

More on these MOCs later.

The one on the rightmost screen is the classic space LEGO 6823 ( Surface Transport ). I have two of this. One was given to me when I was a child and now I'm playing with it with my own kiddo. The other one I recently acquired, unopened for 27 years before I grant it its freedom.

I'm not a 'store them to increase their value' type of human.

I'm more like if you buy it, you must a. play with it. b. use it and take photos and/or c. draw inspiration from it.

Oh, but there is a Game 7.

Only the third ( or fifth ) Finals Game 7 in the last 21 years of the NBA.

How about a last second shot that will decide who takes it all..?

I don't know. Somehow I still can't shake that weird feeling.

I will be away from the computer for most part of today to work on the blueprints of TheProject.

LOOOOoNG Table. SIGN Pens. A4 papers folded crosswise.

Processes. Modules. Vision. Goal. Data Structures. Arrows. Flow.

They all start on paper for me.

I wanted to post a 'Lakers will win Game 1 in the NBA Finals' last Friday ( local time ) before the game started but I don't want to sound like some sports writer so sure they can predict the future.

I placed a bet on the Lakers team against a developer in our team, but found myself cheering for Celtics during the actual game.

I still am a Celtics fan.

But I have this weird feeling the Lakers will take this series.

Kobe is on a mission.

Focused. Very Jordan-esque.

As Mike Wise writes last week, Kobe versus Michael Jordan comparison is not a heresy anymore.

And I'm a huge huge Michael Jordan fan.

Plus there's Phil Jackson and his 47-0.

That's the ZenMaster's record in the playoffs when his team wins Game 1.

Whoever takes Game 2 will have a big advantage on its side.

You don't need a statistician and a prophet to verify that statement.
