John Koziol: The Ages of Fox. Hehe… : ]
IE7 has tabs. No I’m not linking because I’m excited about the tabs (I already have FireFox installed to do that for me), but because I find the comments part (which comprises 97.8723404%) of that page… funny.

Hiring is Obsolete. (via Beakman)
Agree but not entirely. There are tons of things you learn and experience when you’re hired. It’s like before you can lead and manage, you must learn to follow. A great part of my attitude towards work is molded by working for four years under The Boss of a computer center of a certain university along with nine other programmers and engineers (which includes a Linux-samurai-x-lovin’ system administrator).
But that’s only a minor debris among the things tackled in that article.
So go check it out for yourself.

Avatar pointed me towards this cool tool… StarDock’s MULTIPLICITY. Productivity-wise, this is a good application (based on what I’m reading). I’ll post… then try things at home tonight.
Here’s a related article: Multiplicity in Action.

Perpendicular Recording Storage Technology from Hitachi. Very interesting overview/presentation indeed. (via DotNet Fox)

Foxpro mentioned at TheRegister… at Infoworld and of course inside Microsoft PressPass.
More current Foxpro-related news found using MSN Search RSS feeds.
Now… what do you do with FoxPro..?

Windows source codes… revealed.
Haha… : ]

Programming, developing… coding… or whaver you call it, is… spiritual.
Ah… the effects of marathon coding until 4AM at home in an enclosed room for three straight days.
Here are some random links for you:

Just arrived in this office after a client visit from the north.
Quite hot out there.
Just resting in here and reading some feeds… including this: OOP Is Much Better in Theory Than in Practice.
Just when I thought my approach was too old-schoolic and prehistoric… another human warps way way back, eh?
Foxpro btw supports OOP since 1995…. or perhaps earlier than that year.

Omni-pie. Client decided to move the meeting/presentation to Monday next week so I’m here today in the office… for the Foxpro.catalyst’s site birthday.
Hehe… : ]
I have prepared already for tomorrow’s client visits since last week so I guess I’ll just spend the afternoon catching up with buffered feeds, buffered blogs and bloggable thoughts.
Qs on the other hand is working on her database application which she will also be presenting tomorrow and I can hear her programming-related grumbles from here.
(Conscience to WildFire: “Good… blog about it instead of helping her.”
Shut up, conscience. The end justifies the means.
OK… some initial link round-ups: Ah… one of the thousand reasons why I love computers.
A global network of computer users has clocked up more than 4,000 years’ worth of computer calculations in under three months as part of a huge grid project.

Nice… computers can solve those amount of problems but humans can’t even start solving some of the ‘basic problems’ that have infested this very world for years now.
Intel’s silicon laser breakthrough has been popping out in some of the feeds that I’m getting. What’s next… the grizzly patents?
But this is good. I have constantly argued with my alter ego that there should come a time where we give software development-related solutions that do not set their foundations on a framework that was created because hardware-based connections are too slow to catch up with the data being processed.
I know that sounds vague but I’ll explain that more soon.
But in a nutshell… it’s like Porky Pig telling you add-ons that you can carry with your bike so you can do fish-castration-related stuff and all. Improve the bike… change the bike with a Harley Davidson instead.
Something like that.
Later, compadres.

From TechBooksForFree.com, some reference/PDF links for you… Microsoft SmartPhone Programming · Introduction to Networking Technologies · Computers and Microprocessors.
Most of the time it is good to know the basics… and it is always good to read. Period.

The Software Conspiracy, a book by Mark Minasi which was first released last 1999 can now be downloaded for free. It is a good resource to reflect on especially for freelance/independent programmers.
(Most of the ‘corporate/in-house’ ones are too much ‘infested’ already or are trapped inside an revenues-first-bugs-later situation… (not all though.))
Not all.
Peace, droids.

.NET ROCKS! sports a new look… well at least new since the last time I checked.
