On UA, someone pointed out that the link to the m$'s official bug list for fox actually points to that of VB6. To which Grant replied „I was wondering why there were so many bugs on our list. Now, this explains it...“.
Went with Greg downtown to his/my bank. He talked them into giving me a quick 5000$ loan for the car, vouched for me as my employer and we generally were done within the hour. This may have been the day before or late last week; the five grand landed on my account today. Back to work.
At work, Rick was experimenting with his new framework (and there's a bunch of forms he did with that, with screenshots made a week later), trying to deliver ourselves from the jaws of vpm. Frank was using some app to see what of executables and when we (all or just Rick and I?) launch. Turns out he thought fox was a compiler, and since Rick was doing risky stuff, his fox crashed every now and then, while I just kept working. Frank came to the conclusion that Rick is so much more productive than I because he compiles so often. He was actually killing the stuck instances of fox and launching again.
