Re: [NF] Windows updates August problems?

Later, "Restart Now or Restart Later?" revealed that some of the
recent updates STILL were not successfully installed. Restarted.

Lather, rinse and repeat the above three times.


A recent Win 10 update broke the Update History. Could that be why 
the user thinks nothing has been installed?

Re: [NF] Windows updates August problems?

2017-08-09 Thread Mike

I would roll back the updates individually, then reboot to see if that 
helped.

CONTROL PANEL
UPDATE AND SECURITY
UPDATE HISTORY
UNINSTALL UPDATES

Look for the most recent "Installed on" and start un-installing.

Only other idea would be to make sure all the drivers (video, chipset, 
NIC, etc) are as up-to-date as possible.

Attempting to persuade the ever-patient associate not to throw her

Nothing obvious in the error logs. No disk errors.

Next step will likely be to attempt to restore from the previous
rescue point which, in my limited experience of a dozen or so
attempts, never works.

Ideas? Suggestions? Mocking?

Southwest Fox 2017: Extending Early-bird Deadline

2017-08-09 Thread Rick Schummer

Ooops, we goofed! One of the us went on vacation and completely forgot to 
schedule the end of July reminder to get
registered before the Southwest Fox 2017 Early-bird deadline. So to make up for 
this colossal mistake, we have decided
to extend the Early-bird discount of $50 through August 21st.

 

The conference takes place October 26-29, 2017 in Gilbert, Arizona and we 
really hope you can be there. Head over to the
registration Web site today: https://geekgatherings.com/Registration

 

Check out our list of amazing speakers and dig into our session tracks on our 
site: http://swfox.net. Follow the news
about the conference on our blog.

 

Rick, Doug, and Tamar

2017-08-09 Thread Thierry Nivelet


Hi Ted,

IMO, a balanced TOC for a VFP10 book would be (pseudo writing):

1. Keeping your VFP app up and performing for decades without rewrite
2. Expanding your VFP app far beyond 'traditional' desktop
3. Recruiting developers for your VFP app

Point 3 is in every manager's head; it has to be addressed and we 
collectively need to find a way to keep some young people interested in 
VFP; the only efficient way I know is to deliver an exciting message, 
not to tell them "you're entering into a carrier dead-end where you'll 
have to maintain boring legacy code, please enjoy"


I wish I could decently write in English, and doubt anyone would be 
interested in a book written in French, even you as an Editor! ;)

I think you're looking through the wrong end of the telescope. Whil's
book is dealing with supporting existing clients, inheriting the apps
of the others, and pointers on maintaining applications into their
second and third decades. These are important skills, too.


I'd prefer a book mostly showing the exciting things one can do with VFP,
and expanding 'legacy' VFP applications.

Well, let me know how your book writing goes. If you are looking for
an editor, keep me in mind!


Third party software take a large part of these exciting opportunities.

Absolutely! My most successful applications use a lot of third party
software, from web serving to office automation to graphics and GIS! I
have always been a big supporter of the philosophy of integrating many
tools to make the most powerful application.
