[ADMIN] Google blocking ProFox posts to gmail addresses
by Ed Leafe 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

I've just gotten notification that many of your accounts on my server were disabled due to excessive bounces, and all of those bounce notices were from gmail addresses. I dug a little deeper, and it seems Google changed the auth requirements for sending email to any gmail.com <http://gmail.com/> account. I don't have time right now to spend on this, but I will try to update things soon. And yes, I know that the people who are affected won't be able to receive this post, but maybe they'll be curious and check the archives. -- Ed Leafe

Southwest Fox 2024: Decisions, decisions...
by Rick Schummer 31 Jul '24

31 Jul '24

Thanks to our generous speakers stepping up and shouldering some of the financial risks, additional sponsorship, and our hope that the community will respond with more registrations, we are announcing that Southwest Fox 2024 will go on as planned in-person and virtually September 26-29, 2024. That said, it is with heavy hearts that we announce this is the final in-person Southwest Fox conference that we are going to put on as it's clear the economics no longer work. Our plan is to move forward with Virtual Fox Fests in the future. This is your last chance to hang out with the Fox gang in Phoenix, so if you were thinking about attending sometime, this is the time. A final reminder, the Early-Bird discount expires today, Wednesday, July 31st. https://geekgatherings.com/Registration Rick White Light Computing, Inc.

I know Geek Gathering folks will get around to hitting the Profox list but I thought why not do it for them. Sign up! This will be the last in-person conference. (Sorry about removing the links. My corporate email munges them all but it's not hard to find the site...) -- rk From: Geek Gatherings, LLC <info(a)geekgatherings.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2024 1:45 PM To: Richard Kaye <rkaye(a)invaluable.com> Subject: Southwest Fox 2024: Decisions, decisions...

ChilkatVFP 1.34 Released
by Bill Anderson 25 Jul '24

25 Jul '24

Folks, https://github.com/billand88/ChilkatVFP This was actually released a couple weeks ago, just getting around to notifications. Chilkat v1.34 is compatible with Chilkat v99. Some internal documentation has been added for the Async methods if appropriate. Don't be afraid to browse the ChilkatVFP source code - pull up Chilkat.VCX in the Class Browser and roam around the Chilkat instance classes. ChilkatVFP is both a functional wrapper and an encyclopedia. Bill Anderson --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Southwest Fox 2024: in-person, STILL in jeopardy
by Rick Schummer 25 Jul '24

25 Jul '24

We really want to have an in-person conference. If you plan to be at the in-person conference, please register today if you have not already done so. We are still short of our minimum to make the in-person side of the conference happen by *six* people. Even if we get six more in-person registrations, we are taking a financial risk. If you plan to attend virtually, please register for the virtual conference as this impacts the choice we have to make in the coming days. Plus, if you register now, you get the early-bird discount, which expires on August 1. For those signed up for the in-person conference, do not make plane reservations until we announce the decision for the in-person conference, which we expect to make this Friday, *July 26th*. The conference takes place September 26-29, 2024 in Scottsdale, Arizona and we really hope you can be there. Head over to the registration Web site now: https://geekgatherings.com/Registration Contact Us: * Interested in being a sponsor? Contact our sponsor representative: sponsors(a)geekgatherings.com * If you have ideas or suggestions for this year's Southwest Fox, please email them to: info(a)geekgatherings.com * If you have a friend who wants to be on our mailing list, please tell them to go to the conference home page and sign up https://swfox.net. * Call: 586.254.2530 Rick White Light Computing, Inc.

It's been a long time...
by Ed Leafe 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

...since the first message posted to ProFox: exactly 25 years ago today! https://leafe.com/archives/msg/1 It's amazing that something started as a temporary solution to a problem has proven to be so long-lived! And while only a handful of people post regularly, there are still 306 subscribers to the profox list, and 184 to the profoxtech list. So while the Fox might be dead, ProFox is still very much alive! -- Ed Leafe

Not posted for ages but has anyone had any experience in connecting VFP to an ePDQ credit card scanner and if so what method/interface did you use? Thanks Dave --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
