In the spirit of 37Signals “[Screens Around Town]” occasional posting, I recently came across some designs and discussions that caught my attention.

While researching shopping bags for a promotional event, I came upon an innovative pricing table at AbsorbentPrinting.com. Rather than having to bust out a calculator, or click and submit various quote […]
As I previously wrote, I’m recently back from both a spectacular wedding and honeymoon, that included a much needed trip to some small deserted islands of Fiji, more precisely Matamanoa and LikuLiku. My favorite pic from the trip is to the right on an eve when the moon rose above Matamanoa in a most amazing […]
I know something you don’t know…
FileMaker is nice, very nice.
ThinkSecret has it right, but it also has it wrong. Stay tuned…
Finally, it’s nice to see some progressive thinking coming out of FileMaker Inc. Yesterday, on May 1st, FM launched the FileMaker Technet Network which appears to be a scaled back, and broader-appeal version of the FileMaker Solutions Alliance. It’s refreshing as the FSA required a little more legwork to apply to and pass […]
ThinkSecret recently reported some nifty gossip on the pending release of FileMaker 9. The product is reportedly due to be released in the mid-late 2007. But more interestingly are the changes that are purported to be sneaking their way into our beloved product. Features such as “object scaling based on window size, […]

Now comes regression testing and in the very first phase, a seemingly simple script which checks some user permissions and performs certain actions depending on those permissions completely […]
That’s not REAL news by now (it was announced Monday), but there are some interesting little tidbits in this release beyond the bullets that are being advertised. In the meantime, go visit FileMaker.com for more info. More to come on that…
The posts may come slowly over the next couple of days as I […]
For those who don’t know, Filemaker offers password and file recovery services in case you ever need to repair a version 7 or 8 file. But recently, I learned of a tool careof Passware.com and LostPassword.com, called FileMaker Key. The tool resets passwords to any FileMaker file, though version 8, to an 8-character string. […]
One of the better FileMaker habits has always been to document your code (cause there aren’t that many places to do it) and while the debate is clearly out on whether it’s better to spend the time on documentation or features, I can’t live without my documentation. Most especially, when it comes to FileMaker […]
