In this week's devCity Newsletter, Serge thought it would be a great idea for members of vbCity and devCity to send postcards to vbCity from where they live.  I'm fortunate to live in Shropshire and this weekend I visited the Ludlow Food and Drink Festival.  It is a great experience and is considered one of the best food festivals in Britain.  Ludlow is a small market town (population 10k) in South Shropshire that is famous for its food and drink.  The food festival promotes local produce from the Welsh Marches.

As vbCity's unofficial representative, you'll be pleased to know that I did a fine job of sampling as much as possible.  Particular highlights were:

• Roast Boar
• Welsh Oggie (a pasty made from Welsh beef, onion, leek, potato and gravy)
• Bacchus from Frome Valley Vineyard (a fruity white wine with a strong aroma of elderflower)
• Wood's Shropshire Lad (a fine local beer)

Postcard on its way.

I've recently added an update of qPrinter2 to our website.  It is nearly 2 years since I released version 2 and although I've been working on the project since, this is the first update I have put up for general distribution.

There are some new features in the project including improved Table support, repeated Table header rows on page breaks and an external module for creating previews from Flexgrids.  The project can be downloaded from the qPrinter main page.
