When I moved from CA, this was first thing we started to look for and unfortunately had to travel two hours to Chicago until TJ opened local store. Talking about loyalty

Only if visited TJ on the constant basis for a few years you may get an irony of some verses, but, otherwise, it is very good informal commercial and consider informal style of the TJ, they should use it officially.

Two thumbs up. Enjoy

Wow! Well, what do you expect from the guy who made this

or these.

One would think that with thousands if not million copies sold of various training materials software used/provided would be flawless. As it turned out, it is not true.

Yes, as programmers, we all know that deployment is a tough task and requires careful testing in all possible environments, especially when it comes to a “new” Operating System like Vista… hm, not too new already…

I am going through SQL Server 2005 Exam 70-431 and was kind of surprised to find out that after instalation of the Exam Prep program, it would not start with simple registration error

Run-Time Error -2147319779 (8002801d)
Automation Error
Library not registered

Do not waste your time reinstalling, or playing with Compatibility mode. First, it wouldn’t help. Second, it is all much simplier.
Yes, Google is your friend and in a few minutes you would find a simple solution.

Follow few simple steps:

1. Open Command Prompt window
2. Go to System32 or SysWOW64 (for 64 bit version) folder
3. Locate file called Vsocx6.ocx.
   

   A little history: it is very old (copy I have was dated Aug 2001) ActiveX control library from VideoSoft – “: ) VideoSoft vsOcx6 Controls“. It contains just 3 controls: TvcElastic, TvsIndexTab, TvsAwk, and unfortunately, it is used by the Kit Exam Prep.

4. Run the following command regsvr32 Vsocx6.ocx
5. This is it, everything should work as expected.
6. if not, try to turn off UAC and repeat from step 3.

 It should be handled by installation, but we can always help, especially when it comes to installing “old” software on Vista.

I would like to thank everybody for taking time and reading some of my postings.

I see a lot of attention received when it comes to Delphi. But I also see a growing number of people coming to read some of my other posts which are not otherwise visible via DelphiFeeds.com and I always welcome everyone and value their opinions.

What is interesting about the service is that anyone can easily see distribution of the visitors around the world – big continents and small islands, Internet is everywhere. I might missed a few spots on the maps (like Alaska, Guinea, and Antarctica (would you imagine Internet for fun there?)), but who knows, one day there could be visitors and from those remote locations.

Being very big, world become smaller every day as being more and more accessible. One day I hope to have a photo taken from every big place of Earth. And who knows, they sell tours into space nowadays…

Result of new record rainfall rivers are record high almost everywhere.

Fortunately, our area, Milwaukee, was not affected that much – in some cases basements are wet, or people who are living to close to the river now have a small pools in their backyards.

Sadly, southwest Wisconsin, famous Wisconsin Dells area as an example, was hit along with Iowa and have some noticeable damage.

There is a chance for you to help. Several agencies accepting donations for their efforts to help victims of flooding in southern Wisconsin.

PS. I have received a nice email from CodeGear team offering help and assistance. Thank you!
It is good to know that there is always a friend nearby.

At Embarcadero Technologies we know databases, we understand the important role they play in every organization and we love meeting their challenges.

It took two+ years for story to end. From original $100M+, it now came to just $23M+$7M(AR).

Not to much of the surprise though

Revenue for ALM products and services for the first quarter of 2008 was $32.4 million. Deployment (DPG) products and services revenue was $13.7 million and CodeGear (IDE) products and services revenue was $12.2 million.

(more) The company says the loss was larger with a $13.3 million impairment charge related to CodeGear, $1.3 million in restructuring expenses and other costs.

With primary focus on Database related technologies and Eclipse, it might come that the Eclipse part of CodeGear what actually is a target for them.

Back in 2007, ET has received $200M Go-Private investment from Thoma Cressey Bravo and acquired several key Eclipse committers ever since.

From public information on CodeGear’s web-site

The acquisition of CodeGear will enable Embarcadero to offer a complete product portfolio to design, develop, manage and manage and optimize heterogeneous applications and their databases.

From that I do not really know yet what would be a future of the Delphi product line. Would we have a new brand pushed once again?

Are there plans to discontinue any CodeGear or Embarcadero products?
The merging of CodeGear and Embarcadero increases our ability to enhance and evolve current products, as well as to develop new products, markets, and business models. There are no current plans to discontinue or EOL specific products. However, you can anticipate products will be evaluated to determine optimal development and go-to-market strategies on an ongoing basis consistent with our current practices.

From David I:

We will work together to integrate Delphi and some of their tooling as well as create new products.  Don’t fear – EMBT is excited about Delphi big time. Some of their developers learned programming on Turbo Pascal.  They are all developers just as we are.  Stay tuned for things we will do together. Delphi can use more database design, development, and optimization tooling.
The combined company, technologies, and products will move Delphi’s database capabilities forward much faster than on our own.

We will become employees of Embarcadero Technologies.  The product names
will stay:  Delphi, C++Builder, RAD Studio, JBuilder, etc.  This is just the
definitive agreement step.  There is more operational and planning work to
be done before the deal closes.  Stay tuned

I have had some time last night to think about some changes to the design of the blog to make it better (hopefully)…

After some considerations a few things are moved around and I am glad to present a new design for your judgment. I would be happy to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
