[FX.php List] FX Version

[Chris Hansen]

Nashville has another claim to fame (besides Bob) that is directly  
related to FX.php -- it's where I got my start with FileMaker and  
Lasso.  I spent two summers doing summer jobs at Vanderbilt while my  
wife did internships, etc.  The second summer I was given a crash  
course in FM and recruited to web-enable the university directory.   
How's that for trivia :-p

Okay, now a few other items:

1) I'm a bit short of 9 feet tall (sorry, Bob);

2) I'm not musically inclined, so no, I don't play the fiddle, piano,  
etc.;

3) Tricky that English humor;

4) No offense taken -- that should be clear from the above -- but...  
<rant> the term "homophobic" has devolved into an ad hominem too often  
used by one type of intolerant folks in a generally successful effort  
to hide their own intolerance </rant> (pet peeve there, not trying to  
take away from an otherwise excellent explanation, and not intended to  
apply to any specific person, and yes, I do realize that I'm railing  
against what has become generally accepted usage *sigh*);

Finally, back on topic:

5) About time to work on a new FX.php release -- any requests for  
features, fixes, etc.?

6) I'd like suggestions for good PHP and/or FileMaker books -- the  
section on iViking.org is hopelessly outdated.

Thanks!
