FileMaker and Ransomware
With the recent highly publicized attacks on Colonial Pipeline and JBS, we’ve had questions from some of our clients about protecting FileMaker data from ransomware attacks. While we are always careful to make it clear that we are not security professionals, we also try to do our best to answer our client’s questions, and so we have done some self-education recently as well as group discussions during our weekly developer meetings.
The Execute FM Data API Script Step – A Use Case

An iPhone App for Patient Info
Our client, a healthcare facility, uses FileMaker to manage their patient care data. It integrates with DrFirst ePerscription and Labcorp lab testing services. We created an iOS app to allow doctors to view a subset of this data on their phones.
iPhone Eclipse
I had the good fortune to be able to travel to Madras, Oregon for the Eclipse last month, and like any good nerd, I did some shopping in advance and bought a bunch of eclipse gear: solar filters, solar sunglasses, an extra iPhone tripod, etc…
