This is hilarious and intriguing at the same time. Takes me back to Mark’s “Dark side of Delphi” sessions at BorCon years ago. Will be interesting to see how fast he gets with some practice, though I’m not sure he realises Ricks are notoriously tricky beasts, maybe he should be using a strat.
Forget “With” in Delphi, it seems “If” is the new evil that must be fought :) http://www.antiifcampaign.com/
I’ve seen a lot of arguments about the With statement in Delphi, and even taken part in some, but I’ve never considered setting up a website. Guess that just marks me out as some sort of slacker. Anti-If Campaign
10/gui. Intriguing multitouch/desktop reinvention concept (Thanks @richardvowles).
Another one courtesy of Richard Vowles. This video is quite intriguing. I’m not sure how much this exists beyond the concept video. The multitouch on the desktop part is not that surprising, not a million miles from other solutions, both existing and prototypes. The window approach, and the combination of the two is the part that has me thinking, although how many desktop reinventions have come and gone over the years? At least this one is not 3d, as most seem to be 🙂
$10 for 10 Jira Users. Wow! #Atlassian #getstarted
Richard Vowles just told me about an offer that Atlassian are running. $10 for 10 users on Jira (Bug Tracking) and a bunch of their other products (Confluence, Bamboo, etc). I’ve used Jira a little and have been very impressed, same with Confluence. They seem to be permanent licenses, and full product (not limited features, etc). Plus the money goes to charity. Very much worth checking out.
MS Multitouch Mouse demos – Could be cool for Delphi 2010 Multitouch apps on the desktop.
These could make a lot more sense for multitouch on the desktop than actually reaching out to the screen.
NB: The link has an apostrophe in it, which seems to cause issues with some browsers. Chrome deals ok, but IE not so much.
When you click on the link and it fails, if the last portion of the URL looks like this, 2009-10/microsoft-multitouch-mice-demo’d, try replacing it with this, 2009-10/microsoft-multitouch-mice-demo%E2%80%99d
Worst case, the video (but not the article) is here
