Main site: Episode 5: (btw we haven’t updated the podcast RSS feed as yet – will do that tomorrow…) Technorati...
Awesome post by Bernard on how to produce Vista Aero glass effects using VFP on XP. The link to the source code is hidden away down at the bottom of his post (don’t miss it).
[This link is also on fanpop ofcourse]

I had my karate black belt grading tonight. And I’m pleased (relieved?) to report that after 6 years of training, countless cracked ribs, a number of leg injuries, and a broken hand (I had to have two titanium pins put in after I broke it two years ago in a sparring match) I’ve finally made it to black belt. As anyone who has studied martial arts will know, attaining black belt status...

You may have read Milind’s October letter where he mentions how to log feedback on the SP2 CTP.

So, I’ve been adding more links to fanpop in the Visual FoxPro spot. I’d encourage you to add some as well and atleast add your rankings of the existing links. It was funny to see some of the obvious links I missed (eg I only added Calvin’s blog today!). So, there is bound to be other great links to add. Anyone can add a link, and anyone can rate the links. Don’t be...
So it was around 7pm tonight (Friday) and I am about to head home from work. A quick scan of the blogs heralds the availability of SP2 CTP for Visual FoxPro 9. You ripper. Michele is out tonight, so what better way to entertain myself than playing with the latest Sedna CTP and checking the SP2 CTP… The Sedna CTP installs fine, but SP2 throws in the towel with a ‘cannot find vs_setup...

At our next meeting...
I’ve created a Visual FoxPro fanpop Spot. Go ahead and add your links, become a fan, promote Visual FoxPro and enjoy the site. reading GK’s post about it I though why not? Yes, its another list, and no there is nothing particularly compelling about it over all the other list sites (del.icio.us etc). But I like how you can add your ‘fan’ weight behind a particular...
