FoxPro workBLOGS and MORE… . . .

Dough Hennig has a recap of the recently completed Southwest Fox 2011.  Days 00 and 01, Day 02, Day 03 and Day 04.

And here’s one more VFP code related link:  Base64.

LEGO classic space.

Always a beauty.

Taken and manipulated using an iPhone4.

Used the lite/free versions of MagicHour and ColorBlast!

Of course I could tackle this in Photoshop. But the iPhone apps are surprisingly so easy to use.

And I can use my fingers.

I’m also seriously considering merging some amount of photoblogging ( sans the LEGO ) into this workBLOG.

First post for 2011.

Let’s see how this works. Wait… I have to modify that and chop the image into three parts.

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.

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?

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.
