Delphi begins its 10-year journey to the origins of the solar system

Kristofer Skaug wrote in a post in delphi.non-technical:

"I would like to thank the Borland Delphi team for giving me the ideal tool to create ground test equipment software in support of the Rosetta comet-chaser mission, which launched successfully today. I can only guess that without Delphi, the years of work I put into that project would've been considerably less fun!"

Dear Santa!

I can't wait until Q4 to play with one of these babies.

Dear Santa, please send me a prototype ASAP, and I promise I'll be good and pay my bill on time from now on!

Thanks!

This blog is hereby made public

We're investigating doing blogging on the BDN. As part of that I figured I'll mess around with it. So I created a blogger.com account, and downloaded w.bloggar. In combination these things allow me to blog from a Windows app and just push content directly from my desktop, without having to worry about messing around with a browser every time. I happen to like it that way...

So, anyway, here it is, my blog! Your mileage will vary. Enjoy!

I also added the Atom feed.

Delphi 8 in Washington, DC and Seattle, WA

John Kaster is presenting Delphi 8 in Washington, DC on March 3rd and in Seattle, WA on March 4th.

Like I said in a previous post, you could potentially save $3,750 by going to see this presentation, if you decide to buy 5 new user licenses of Delphi 8 Architect at the 25% rebate offer.

Personally, I think your boss should give you a raise if you go see John and save your company that much money!

More on the tour.
