Late To The Party

I know, I’ve come very late to the party.

Back in May, Bob Foreman posted http://www.softvelocity.net/community/blogs/clarion_news/archive/2007/05/03/1635.aspx this little wonder on Vista and Clarion 6.

Both things I had never bothered to try and fix, because I figured Vista was magical and I’d heard these things were just the way it was. I’m very inquisitive .. not.

1. The massive borders in Vista, Aero-Glass styling. This is obviously changeable. Makes a big difference. I changed them to a 1 size.

2. The Help file issue. This has miffed me no end. Turns out, following the steps Bob lays down allows me the glory days of F1 in Clarion 6. For the times when I needed it, i really missed it.

Compare This

November 27, 2007

Reading my ClarionMag feed this morning, I noticed that Mike Hanson has knocked up a chart, "Clarion Sharp Comparison". Tis here. Nice and meaty, but more than a comparison, it’ll no doubt be a good reference for just working in the Clarion# language. I still haven’t got myself onto the .Net subscription. We have until [...]

Pirates Are Just Cool!

November 26, 2007

We began watching the third "Pirates of de Caribbean"  movie last night. (Picture snagged from the official site, here) What a blast! I love these movies, the first two just got better (unlike the Matrix films, of which the first will always be some of the best filmmaking ever done) One thing that became clear [...]

More Sleep Needed

November 25, 2007

We had a pretty large weekend. When you’ve got 4 kids, that might only consist of going out three or four times .. heh heh. But still. It was tiring for an old old man like myself. Shopping for a present, party for friend giving said present, dinner with friends, election watching with friends, leading [...]

Jaymoe, A Work Still In Progress

November 22, 2007

For the past couple of months, I’ve been working, a few hours a week, on Jaymoe. It’s a Sporting Club Web System, "basically". Ha ha. Anyway, Version 1 took me about 7 days to slap together with Clarion, NetTalk and some use of Lightbox (javascript image effect library, built on Scriptaculous). Version 1 isn’t much [...]

Five Cool Games

November 21, 2007

Now, these games aren’t AWESOME. Well, not all of them. But they are good enough. In certain aspects I find them as much fun as Bioshock or Half-Life 2 .. in fact _more_ fun at times. Course, I’m an RPG man at heart. Always have been. Always will. I think Tolkein is to blame, along [...]

Not Very Fantastic Voices

November 21, 2007

My oldest son recently showed interest in a Fantastic Four cartoon (dvd) that showed up in the shops. I think there’s two out, with four episodes each. My interest was piqued somewhat. The Fantastic Four have never been top of my list, but I would read them because they were a comic. The one particular [...]
