Hi, I’m Craig Bailey and this is my personal blog where I write about technology, business systems, HubSpot and general life experiences. You can read my posts here.

(If you are looking for the Content is King post by Bill Gates it is here)

I’m involved with three agencies in Sydney:

  • The first is XEN Systems. We help government departments and mid-large B2B technology companies with their sales and marketing strategy, including implementation and training in HubSpot 
  • The second is XEN Create. We provide premium graphic design services to companies, with a focus on using the latest AI tools, including Midjourney
  • The third is XEN Solar, where we help high quality solar companies (dealers, installers) with their sales and marketing processes.

I also co-host HubShots, the podcast and YouTube show focussed on getting the most out of HubSpot. We are the creators of the HubShots Framework.

VFP: More on fanpop

V

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...

VFP: SP2 and the wonderful Fox community

V

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...

VFP: How to price your VFP projects

V

This is a little talk I gave at the Sydney Visual FoxPro User Group last week.It was only a short presentation (around 20 minutes) and might be of help to you in your business.It is non-technical and covers basic concepts for pricing your work.Its available from the articles page: enough I’ve been getting requests to do more presentations along these lines. At our next meeting...

VFP: The Visual FoxPro Spot (Fanpop)

V

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...

PROJECT: We need a Microsoft Project Express

P

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a cheap (perhaps free) stripped down version of Microsoft Project? Today we took on the third big client in a row who is using Excel to project manage their project. Insane right? Here’s how they do it. Tasks go down the first column. The other columns represent dates. They size the date columns about 10 wide and colour...

O07: Office 2007 Technical Refresh Thoughts

O

O07: Office 2007 Technical Refresh thoughtsI was going to attempt to work in some witty James Bond references (eg Office 07 = O07 – License to Thrill, Live and Let (Toolbars) Die, The World is (Still) Not Enough, A View to a (conditional formatting) Fill, etc, etc) but soon realised none of them were remotely funny…So, let’s give the new Office 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh a one...

VFP: Using BINDEVENT in Grids

V

I’m sure everyone who reads this blog already reads Andrew MacNeill’s (and if not, then why not?). So, the reason I’m linking to his BINDEVENT post is mainly so that I remember to use it soon. I’m ashamed to admit I still use some ancient code in my projects (not that I write much code these days…) that replaces grid header code with a custom class… it’s...
