Every two weeks I send a tutorial or an engineering note on things you can do with FoxServer, FoxAgent, Golem, FoxCli and Visual FoxPro, with code you can copy. In the language you choose.

This is what you would get.

• 15 Oct 2026 Golem 1.6: two technicians on the same server no longer get in each other's way On disconnect, the Guardian frees the slot at once. If it is taken, whoever arrives sees who has it, can leave them a note and wait for their turn, and if the holder has forgotten the session, it is handed over after 5 minutes.
• 12 Oct 2026 Golem 1.5.3: what has changed since 1.5 in the hands, long calls and FoxAgent Three Golem versions in four days: the hands on the desktop no longer type into another window, a long call no longer takes the connections down, and a child MCP server like FoxAgent is no longer restarted when it answers with an error.
• 12 Oct 2026 Your first Windows service in Visual FoxPro with FoxService Step by step from the VFP IDE: a service that imports the orders a web shop leaves behind, counts them every 30 seconds and sends them to the warehouse every morning, without a PC with the program open.
• 9 Oct 2026 Golem 1.5, the MCP for Windows: Claude can now fill in the screen of the other computer Golem 1.5, the MCP server for Windows, brings hands on the desktop: Claude lists the windows of the remote machine, reads their controls, writes into text boxes, presses buttons and sends keys. It works with Golem Assist on a customer's computer and under the Guardian on a server with nobody in front of it.
• 6 Oct 2026 I'm presenting FoxAgent at Virtual Fox Fest 2026 On Thursday 22 October I present FoxAgent at Virtual Fox Fest, the Visual FoxPro community conference: 75 minutes on how an AI agent connects to a running VFP application, with half the session as a live demo on a point of sale written in VFP.
