Sorry, no Delphi Hour this week. We are deep into Highlander at this point. But let not your disappointment overwhelm you — there is going to be tons of Highlander chats and demos next week during our Developer Days.

Did You Know…

30 Aug

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?

Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #32

30 Aug

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 [...]

Highlander BetaBlogging

28 Aug

By now, you’ve probably seen some of our field testers who are starting to blog about the cool stuff they are doing with Highlander. There are a lot of new things to do with it, and so it is nice to have our field testers out there talking about it.
But I want to make [...]

The Ridiculous Price and Utility of Flash Drives These Days

22 Aug

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. [...]

The Delphi Hour Today

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

The Delphi Hour Archive on the Delphi Wiki

06 Aug

It seems like it is a good day for nice emails. Ignacio Kimero sent me an email with a link to the Archive of the Delphi Hour on the Delphi Wiki. Very nice link to get in the mail, because I was going to have to gather all that information up myself, and [...]

Desktop Applications are not dead!

06 Aug

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, [...]

Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #31

03 Aug

Lots of stuff happening around here as Highlander draws ever closer.

The Color Wars continue! I ranted a bit about it on the Delphi Hour yesterday, and I’ve clearly rubbed some folks the wrong way. Okay, so Liz came up with some better colors for ihatethecapslockkey.com. Basically she got rid of the green, and [...]

IHateTheCapsLockKey.com, Colors, and Inline CSS

01 Aug

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 [...]
