There's a lot to the patch notes. Nice work!   There are some issues with the new build, dictionary problems in the main it seems. This is the first build where the dictionary functionality ... http://www.pimpmyclarion.com/2008/02/22/big-body-build/ I'm putting together the new website. It's design won't be (hopefully) the final one, it's just a theme I pulled of the net. But the site needs to go live. Compromises.   Hope everyone has a fantastic February 14th. http://www.pimpmyclarion.com/2008/02/14/the-new-website/ This place is still here. I'm still posting on it :).   Geoff Spillane and I have been talking, and I realised that the Aussie DevCon is not very far off. Last year I thought there was plenty of time to kick some stuff into motion. ... http://www.pimpmyclarion.com/2008/02/06/the-aussie-devcon-podcasting-new-site-not-yet/ Yes. This is another "final" post. Ha ha.   The new site will be launched soon.

This is good. It means there are people who wish the community to grow, despite what realities they might see ... http://www.pimpmyclarion.com/2008/01/21/reactions-to-the-tech-evangelist-announcement/   [EDIT, 19/01/2008] Read Bob's post first.

Pimp My Clarion is going under the surgeon's knife. And this time .. it's not just a change of Wordpress template .. { cries of joy are heard across the lands }.   It's been a while coming. I've been lax in posting. ... http://www.pimpmyclarion.com/2008/01/15/changes/ I know, I've come very late to the party.   Back in May, Bob Foreman posted http://www.softvelocity.net/community/blogs/clarion_news/archive/2007/05/03/1635.aspx this little wonder on Vista and Clarion 6.   Both things I had never bothered to try and fix, because I figured Vista was magical and I'd ... http://www.pimpmyclarion.com/2007/11/29/late-to-the-party/ I had an inkling, and now I've confirmed it. The search on PimpMyClarion doesn't work. Silly silly. That's very lame. I'll investigate when I get a moment.   Quickly, so as not to detract, although by typing this "so as .." i have already detracted, I have a ... http://www.pimpmyclarion.com/2007/11/28/personal-blog-stupid-blog/ Reading my ClarionMag feed this morning, I noticed that Mike Hanson has knocked up a chart, "Clarion Sharp Comparison". Tis here. Nice and meaty, but more than a comparison, it'll no doubt be a good reference for just working in the Clarion# language. ... http://www.pimpmyclarion.com/2007/11/27/compare-this/ The SoftVelocity website (here) has undergone an overhaul.   Gone are the drop-down lists. Instead there's a right sidebar.

So no more "Clarion dot Net". It's "Clarion Sharp" for the win!   I like this. It sits better with me than "Clarion dot ... http://www.pimpmyclarion.com/2007/11/05/clarion-sharp-cutting-edge/ It's been a while since I've put together disparate journalism on what is happening in the Clarion World.   It seems Russ (here and his blog) has been moving and shaking around, changing his company, acquiring products, and generally pimping Clarion 7.
