So here’s the eighth volume of Secret Weapon Notes, and I’m reaching out to you readers as to your thoughts on such posts. Are they worthwhile for you? I love them in that they nicely consolidate a diverse and random set of links into a nice digest format and half the time I use them as my own version of bookmarks, in addition to Del.icio.us. More importantly, if at least a small number of you find them interesting or useful, then I’ll be sure to keep doing them in addition to the various posts about blogging, FileMaker, WordPress, and GUI & web design. Please let me know! (emile [at] secretweaponlabs [dot] com)
I don’t necessarily like propogating the rumor-mill but this one, being FileMaker-related, is worth noting. FileMaker Pro 8.5 Advanced should be arriving soon, with Intel support (YAY!!!). (I would love to read some benchmarks on how FileMaker performs under Rosetta. Anyone have this info?). Here’s what’s supposedly new:“Other new features that have been incorporated into version 8.5 include a Web Viewer that allows information on Web pages to be put directly into a FileMaker database, as well as accompanying Custom Web Addresses that will automatically add support for mining data from FedEx, Mapquest, and other popular Web sites into databases, as well as enabling the creation of custom Web Viewer links. Web integration has also been expanded to Web-enabled applications.
The ability to name specific objects, long desired by FileMaker developers, will finally arrive with FileMaker Pro 8.5 Advanced, sources said, while novices should appreciate the new Learning Center, which ties together online resources for FileMaker users. ” Surely this will be expanded and announced at DevCon.
