March 2025 marks the beginning of our 31st year as a group. Quite an accomplishment! Since March 1995, and without missing too many months, we have met on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Somewhere I still have the attendance sheets for those first meetings at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Madison, where coincidentally I still work today after a few forays elsewhere. Our meeting this month was actually at Jim Tooley's World HQ of Tickets & More. Jim is the leading producer of legal raffle tickets. He's so efficient you cannot beat his prices. But the main reason we met there is because Jim owns a beautiful laser which he's using to generate some beautiful commemorative 30 Year anniversary swag. He demonstrated how he split the design to do 5 test runs on his laser to find the power and speed that produced the best image on the medium. Here is the result, which can be turned into everything from coasters to commemorative coins to wall plaques (probably). See you in April for our 31st years' commencement! Eric

Re: [MadFox] March Meeting Recap Hi Rizwan, Thanks for the email. Attached are 600 dpi .png files ... one is a general logo ... the other is the 30 year version. Among Eric's other talents, he is our master of hyperbole ... (Hyperbole is a figure of speech that involves exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally, often used for emphasis or dramatic effect.). My "World Headquarters" is a 4000 sqft - farm building with no employees! Other than the occasional sparrow who manages to take advantage of an open door, I rarely have any visitors. I can work on putting together a gallery of pictures detailing the project. The effort it takes to do that, will be worth it to me as a help to recall things I did in the past whose details I won't remember in the future. Sometimes I wander around looking at things I know I did in the past but find it harder and harder to believe I did them or how. Even in the programming realm, I still use software I created with VFP 20 years ago and have to dive into the code to see how I did this or that. Looking at old code is essentially a 'diary' of our journey to what we do today. Here's the original pic Eric sent out ... along with another one I played with: On 3/25/2025 1:35 AM, Rizwan Hassan via groups.io wrote:

Although fairly sparse ... I got a lot of our our 'meeting'. Eric turned me onto... Claude.ia ... which he said seemed to do a better job when coding. I had been using chatGPT. My goal was to be able to extract PDF Fillin value pairs using PHP and get them into a spreadsheet. When I asked my question, using ChatGPT, it threw out some sample code but the results were unsatisfactory, simply because it didn't work. I am pretty familiar with PHP and was able to follow and understand what the code was doing but couldn't see what was wrong. Asking the same question using Claude.ai, presented a completely different approach. I haven't been though it as yet but I can tell you it was hard to sleep last night ... as my goal was in site. Here's were we ended up to finish up our 'meeting' in Sauk City.
