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:
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.
Check out the TechEd Live web site Scott Scovell has developed. It allows you to plan all your sessions, share them with the community and choose which friends you want to see along side you on the maps. For screen shots and an overview there is a write up here: is also an accompanying desktop application (built by yours truly) which allows you to do all your scheduling offline and the sync...
Looks like fun. Da Vinci Code, Holy Grail, National Treasure, all the usual suspects. Can’t wait to get a copy. I wonder if it has been solved yet…;
Check out the revamped Harris Technology site. Very nice. Very fast, easily searchable, and highly functional. And all running on Visual FoxPro.Chris Sainty gives us the heads up…
I’m with Frank on this one – this has to be the coolest, most exciting, newest concept I’ve seen all year. Make sure you watch the video, so that you really do get it – and when the penny drops, your brain will be overwhelmed with ideas for how to employ this technology. Just as Google Earth transformed mapping a year or two ago, this is gonna transform the way we use...
This week at the Sydney VFP User Group we had a change in format. Instead of a presentation on a particular topic, we had four of our regular members present on an application they have worked on.All the applications are written in VFP 7, 8 or 9 and most used 3rd party controls to improve their presentation.Here’s a summary of each:WINEfile by Peter Huishwww.tallships.com.auA great VFP7...

He is honest about the challenges that Microsoft face However, the reason I link to it here is because I was wondering what possible piece of software they could easily bring with renewed...
I finally got around to fixing the hibernate issue on my notebook. XP has a known issue on notebooks with more than 1.5GB or RAM whereby it won’t hibernate properly. Rather it will wake up, stay warm, flatten your battery and then give you a ‘Insufficient system resources’ error in your system tray. Now, the fix has been available for ages, by simply calling...
I had the pleasure of meeting with Sir Terry Matthews this morning. Thanks to our friends at Ethan Group, Peter Metcalf (Talman’s MD) and I were invited to a small gathering (15 people) with Terry in which he talked about his background (btw the Wikipedia account is not quite correct – the real version is that a shipping company lost the crate of lawnmowers) and his then his...
Next Wednesday we are having a ‘Show off your application’ night, with 4 presenters getting up and demonstrating their VFP ideas and innovations. The aim is to get a broader understanding of some of the great applications out there, ask questions, and perhaps even make suggestions about how they can be improved. I expect it to be an interesting, informal, collaborative night...
Now that I’ve freed up a little, it’s time to catch up on all the important business and technical items. Serious stuff. You know, the kind that we serious manager types need to be addressing. And thus it was high time I got Meegos for me and Michele. Here’s me all excited about Tech*Ed: here’s me and Michele looking really cute: to Frank for pointing this out.;
