FileMaker announced on Tuesday that FileMaker Mobile 8, its application designed for Palm OS and Pocket PC handhelds, is now shipping. Among the changes in the new version is the ability to synchronize handhelds with databases on FileMaker Server 8 and FileMaker Server 8 Advanced. FileMaker Mobile also includes six new starter templates including Contact […]
After a long, long wait, we Mac users can rejoice in the beauty that is Google Earth. Download it here.
In more recent updates, I caved and finally upgraded to a Pro Flickr account. There just isn’t another fun and easy way to share 450 photos of the holidays with friends and family, comments, notes, and all. If there is at least, I don’t know of it. I was/am a beta-tester of […]
Mikhail Edoshin, whose blog I strongly recommend reading for some interesting and abstract FileMaker thinking, pointed out here recently that FileMaker has also recently published an elaborate whitepaper on naming conventions of everything from fields, to Table Occurrences, to scripts. I strongly recommend reading it.
If not, take a look at Mikhail’s blog for some […]
I’ve read a lot about this, most especially by the seeming clairvoyants over at InfoWorld. What happens when all this networked stuff breaks? Could I ever lose my work and time spent tagging my bookmarks? Couldn’t Yahoo just decide to charge me one day to access them again? I know I […]

The setup involves 22 clients and one FileMaker server. The server is a […]
For those not in the know, the folks over at FireWheel design and IconBuffet.com are giving away royalty-free artwork and icons (for both commercial and personal use). Simply, this is a brilliant idea at creating a network of users hawking in the trading of their lovely free creations. All you need to do […]
Yeah, that’s what the folks are saying over at Creativebits, and with good reason. I find Apple’s own FontBook to be great, just horribly sluggish especially when dealing with a large number of fonts as most designers have. But LinoType’s FontExplorer seems to be changing everything. This is laden with several features, […]
