Okay, Steve, I’m up to the task.
Did you know that you can indent and unindent chunks of text in the Delphi Code Editor using CTRL+SHIFT+I and CTRL+SHIFT+U?

I wish that PortableApps.com had an affiliate program, because I am rapidly becoming their biggest evangelist. I can’t stop preaching how cool it is. I just made a donation to the cause. I don’t know why I think it is so cool, but it is. I am actually seeking out opportunities to plug-in my Cruzer [...]

So I’m at Costco this past weekend, and they have a huge palette of SanDisk 4GB USB Flash Drives — for $39.95 each. (The link has them for $49.95, but they were at $39.95 in the store) Then I look right next to it, and they have a package with three 2GB ones for $49.95. [...]

Despite Liz’s best efforts, I’m announcing this week’s Delphi Hour dreadfully late.

I’m going to be really brave today and do some Highlander demoing. Wish me luck.

Got a nice email from Antonio Cangiano today, pointing out his post called “Desktop Applications are not dead!” Antonio points out that Delphi is a great solution for desktop applications — a point I heartily endorse. Antonio is responding to an article by Eugueny Kontsevoy called ”Desktop Applications are Dead”, and of course, [...]

Since mentioning that I used Highlander to build IHateTheCapsLockKey.com, I’ve had some interesting comments in two areas: “I hate the colors. This site looks dreadful.“ - I am always amused by the “I hate the colors“ argument. I suppose there are few things more objective than what colors people like. Every color scheme in [...]
