New and exciting things

FaceBook, work, and me.

So a bunch of my friends have been nagging me to join Facebook. My reason for avoiding it has been that social networking sites are not top of my priority list, as they are generally untidy, ugly, and a big fat time guzzler. Well, I gave in, and signed up. My thoughts are still the […]

Programming in Clarion’s ABC by Bruce Johnson

As many of you know, I worked with Bruce for more than 5 years at CapeSoft. During that time, I learned unmeasurable treasures in Clarion Programming.
