Just added myself to the http://wefollow.com twitter directory under: #filemaker #apple #blues #
Cleaning feeds out of NetNewsWire. Didn’t realize how many I’ve been marking read, but not reading on a regular basis. Easily half of them. #
Having heck of a time deploying #FileMaker SvrAdv 10. Web Pub won’t start w/ IIS. Keep getting “java.net.ConnectException: refused” #
Just discovered new #blackberry #twitter app: Blackbird. Simple, yet very functional. http://tinturl.com/4baeab #
Doh. Here’s the right url: http://tinyurl.com/4baeab #
One thing I wish #FileMaker 9/10 would do is remain at the tab you’re working on when moving from browse to layout (and vice versa) modes. #

Just grokked Six Fried Rice’s advanced multiple parameter passing. Possible to create any child record with one script. #filemaker #epiphany #

Love when clients ask for, and approve functional change, then ask why it doesn’t work “like it used to” 3 months later. #whyIBillByTheHour #
Upgraded Missing Sync for Blackberry. Now it’s totally borked. Can’t sync anything. Grrr. Dang it Mark/Space! You’ve killed my productivity! #
Abandoning Missing Sync all together. Going for Google App/Remember the Milk combination. All OTA syncing w/ Blackberry. Zero effort option. #

FileMaker collective: Any way to do multiple email attachments (Word docs) sans plug-in in FM v6? (Yes, some of us still have to work in 6) #
Uninstalled Safari 4 Beta. Mail app seemed to become unresponsive after a couple hours of use ever since I installed the beta. #
Doing lots of work in both #FileMaker 6 & 9 lately. Find myself using v9 syntax while in v6 now. I’d say that’s a pretty good thing. #
Client signs off on latest changes. Install scheduled for Saturday morning. That means an night off. Somebody pinch me. Should study FMTS. #
FileMaker 5.5 Server crash. The elusive “c0000005″ exception error. (Fmserver!LocalBigPut). Win Server 2003 SP2. Any insight appreciated. #
Giving EventBox a spin as Twitter client. TweetDeck just isn’t doing it for me. Is it worth $15? We’ll see. #

Dead iMac NOT due to motherboard failure, rather power circuitry on drive PCB board fried. Data still intact, just hard to get to right now. #
Just realized two rather gracious actions on my part last week went totally unacknowledged by the recipients. #
Considering installing Safari Beta 4. Anyone recommend why I shouldn’t, apart from input manager issues? Firefox is primary browser. #
Should be working, but have to take a night off before I totally burn mysef out. Work will be there tomorrow, I’m sure. Couch potato time. #
Based on @myndcraft’s recommend, installed Safari 4 Beta. Yes, tabs are weird, but don’t see what all the fuss is about. Overall: win. in reply to myndcraft #
Time to get serious about getting my FileMaker certification. Any cert’d devs have words of wisdom to get me on the fast track to success? #
