... and falls back to VFP7. It seems that the Web Service support in VFP is not only accessed differently, it also works differently than its VFP7 counterpart. Plan on re-coding your Web Service calls: ffc\_webservices.vcx is no more, and the new VFP 8 IntelliSense script uses ffc\_ws3client.vcx. The good news is that you can use TRY... CATCH, the bad news is that you'll have to, while you iron out the bugs. While alpha tests on a development workstation worked fine, deploying to the production machine failed, presumably because of a dependency with new Web Service DLLs. Out of time for testing tonight; hope to get back to this over the weekend.

Klings's Korollaries.

Suits and Geeks is Arnold Kling's latest, and a complement to World of Ends.

Arnold lists Five Clues for Geeks:

  1. Intermediaries add value
  2. Property is not evil
  3. Computer animation is not a killer application
  4. Bashing Microsoft does not make you smart
  5. Markets are not exploitative

Lots to talk about there.
