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.

Internet access cost

I

Reading Rick’s rant about phone companies reminds me of the situation I’m having providing wireless internet access at OzFox. The venue want to charge $25 for a 2 hour wireless card or $44 for a 12 hour card per attendee. Hello! This is a developer conference. You know, geeks with notebooks who like to check the web from time to time. Hi, welcome to the conference, now bend...

Promoting OzFox

P

I’m trying to promote OzFox to people – it has come as shock to me that when I finally contact some hard to find Foxies they haven’t even heard of OzFox. I’d hate people to miss out because I couldn’t reach them. Please help me to promote OzFox to everyone in Australia and further abroad. If you’ve got any ideas on how to reach people please let me know. Send...

Giving up coffee

G

You know, we Aussies can learn a lot from the Americans when it comes to service – everything here in the hotel is organised well, and the staff are all polite and keen to help. I haven’t come across a grumpy person yet. But when it comes to coffee they don’t have a clue. We’ve had coffee at a number of places now and it has all been terrible. They even have a Starbucks in...

FoxPro Devcon

F

I’m having a ball at Devcon, and here’s my thoughts so far… Wednesday I was so wasted from the flights and late night that I barely made it to the pre-conference venue. I gave up and crashed back in my room until housekeeping woke me up at 2pm. Speaking of housekeeping, they came into my room on Tuesday morning just after I came out of the shower. Yep, walked right in and saw me...

I met Rick Strahl

I

I’ve just returned from the Devcon opening keynote, and what a great keynote it was. 2.5 hours jam packed with demos, features and anecdotes.
Afterwards I met Lisa Slater Nicholls and Colin Nicholls, then David Stevenson, Ken Levy, Doug Hennig and to finish the night, The Man himself: Rick Strahl. Oh man, so many VFP heroes in one place. How will I sleep?
