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: TIOBE again

V

Interesting to see no one blogging about how VFP has fallen back to position 18 in the TIOBE index. This from 13 a month or two back. Not surprising really I guess given how quiet the VFP blogosphere has been lately.

TECHED: More on TechEd Live

T

It was remiss of me in my last post not to mention the two inspirators (inspirational people) behind the TechEd Live concept. The first ofcourse is Paul Stovell, with his TechEd Session Picker (see him at TechEd doing a Dev Cabana session) – he definately got the momentum going. The second is Bill McCarthy with his TechEd 2006 Picker (see him doing the joint Cabana session...
