Geek Gatherings 2024: Save the Dates!

See you there!

Subject: Geek Gatherings 2024: Save the Dates!
To: <profox@...>

We have locked in our dates for our 2024 conferences and hope you will save the dates to attend.

Our one-day Virtual Fox Fest 2024 will be Wednesday, May 8, 2024. It still has the same great features everyone loves
about VFF: great speakers delivering great sessions, live chatting during presentations, and getting to hang out
virtually with new and old friends. This event will feature classic sessions from previous conferences, updated for
2024.

We're excited to offer you Southwest Fox 2024, a hybrid conference, September 26-29, 2024. You decide whether to come in
person or watch online! The in-person event will be held at the Hampton Inn & Suites Phoenix-Scottsdale in Scottsdale,
Arizona. The virtual event will use the Ring Central Hopin platform (the same platform we use for Virtual Fox Fest).

Web sites will be updated in the new year. Call for speakers will be announced later in February so get your ideas
prepared.

Yes Stein .... sometimes the obvious eludes me. An alternative is to just print envelopes with an inkjet printer.

A footnote on my nonprofit app demo:

One feature I showed was the donor receipt letter which had the recipient’s
address positioned to show up in a window envelope.   I noted that I had
bought single-window envelopes (since that’s what Walmart had in stock) so I
planned to put return addresses on by running each envelope through my laser
printer.  Jim warned that might be a problem if the windows were made of
plastic film due to the heat of the laser rollers.  I said I’d tried one and
it seemed to work fine but figured I’d better do some more testing,  So I
ran through another half dozen envelopes when I got home.  The first one
came through OK, but subsequent envelopes got increasingly distorted as
things heated up and the plastic shrank.  So I went ahead and special
ordered a box of double-window envelopes (which a should have done in the
first place) – that should allow both he return and recipient addresses to
show through from the letter.  

Thanks to Jim for the heads up – I’m glad I caught this now and not next
week when I’m trying to get the receipts sent out before the end of the
year.

If anyone needs some single-window envelopes I’ll make you a good deal…

With the revelation that some folks are still tuning in, here's a meeting
recap from December 2023:

4 people attended in person: Eric, Stein, Cliff, and Jim. 

1 person attended remotely:  Jack

(If you tell us you want to attend remotely, we'll turn on the Google Meet)

Cliff gave a demonstration of his interface to the OpenAI API. He wrote a
UI that lets the user tweak settings such as "Temperature" to fine tune the
type of results you get. We ran some queries using "One Shot" and then using
templates to get repeatable results formatted properly. He explained the
billing, via "tokens" which you may want to constrain to keep costs down.

Stein is transforming his nonprofit project from a VFP Windows app to a web
(Vue.js) and West Wind application. We did a little troubleshooting to
figure out why the app that worked perfectly on one PC crashed when he moved
it to his laptop (ended up forcing a recompile by changing a function
signature which we think was the solution).

There's still work to do. We talked about the security implications of
adding a file upload to the app vs doing it via CPanel.

Eric briefly demonstrated the Advent of Code project, which are essentially
word problem challenges for developers. It'd be fun to try to solve these
using FoxPro if I had the extra time.

Jim reiterated the advantages of doing business locally.

That wraps up our 2023 year. I think we only missed one meeting this year
due to the timing of Southwest Fox.  The dates for VFF and Southwest Fox
2024 have been announced so look for an email from Rick Schummer soon and
hopefully we'll see some of you there!

Eric
