Google API for Geocoding ... Again
by Dave Crozier 04 Feb '19

04 Feb '19

Fellow Gentlemen, I posted a request about doing geocoding requests to receive back a Lat/Long dataset for various addresses a few weeks ago and now find that Google do in fact provide a Geocoding service: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start The responses back from the requests are all JSON from a Java Script API run by Google. I have looked over Rick's Westwind site to try and get a start on using this method to get back a JSON response but seem to be getting nowhere fast. Anyone got any ideas on a simple & neat way of retrieving this data back using VFP programmatically? Either that or anyone know a free Geocoding site that would handle up to 100 name and address calls per day ideally by sending a text file and receiving one back which could be automated from the VFP end. Never even looked at Web services in anger before so it all seems a little baffling and terribly long winded at the moment unless I am missing something obvious. Note I don't want to have to drop into an intermediate program/language to accomplish this, if possible. Dave

No matter how long you've been hacking VFP and how good you think you are, there's always something you didn't realise. Such as the fact that FOR ...

Remember, you can ACTIVATE WINDOW PUZZLE IN MACDESKTOP to get outside of the VFP environment. However, right click on the control box to get the various windows options. As you were...

[NF] Mac PC infected with MacKeeper
by Charlie-gm 26 Jul '18

26 Jul '18

Hi all, I have a friend that thinks he got infected with "MacKeeper" (whatever that is). He thinks it happened when he clicked on a link in Safari that was supposed to be updating his Adobe Flash. I'm not sure that is the name of the malware. He says that whenever he tries to do a google search it says something about needing to go to Apple (apple.mac-xperts.com ???) - and any link he clicks on that result takes him to a "phone number" (I did not see his screen either). It also appears that his default web page gets switched to Firefox or something like that. Does anyone know about that, and if so, how to get rid of the problem on the Mac? TIA, -Charlie
