Greetings,

Well both Shane and I made it through the show unscathed. :-)

In fact we both feel that the whole thing was a VERY big success. After the broadcast we talked just a bit more with Michael Swindell and he wants to talk further with us with regards to making Lazarus work with CLX. We will see how that goes.

Doc Searls also wants some information and screenshots. I believe that he is going to want to put something in "The Linux Journal". That would be a VERY big shot in the arm for us. Hopefully it would also help bring in some other developers to help with the coding.

Oh well enough of that ..... I'm just pumped. :-)

PS: Please go listen to the show if you didn't listen to it live.

I missed the show, but the link www.thelinuxshow.com goes to a live radio cast or something, anyone know the link to the actual show?

Still downloading Realplayer to listen to it...

He should first talk to the FPC people then, to see whether we can get the compiler to actually compile it, otherwise Lazarus won't be able to use it :-)

In fact, recent tests by Marco Van De Voort show that we can compile most Delphi code with the mainbranch compiler (1.1) so the CLX is probably in reach.

Doc Searls also wants some information and screenshots. I believe that he is going to want to put something in "The Linux Journal". That would be a VERY big shot in the arm for us. Hopefully it would also help bring in some other developers to help with the coding.

Hmmmm. This leaves a bit of a wry aftertaste.
When Linux Journal was proposed an article about FPC, they refused it. Funny what a little publicity can do. Ah well, better late than never, we can only benefit from it.

OOPS already hacked it, the size is right now.. ;) Now that my friends is the difference between open source and closes source. Had a bug and fixed it in a few minutes.

Yep very good job ... Who knows someday I may even be able to play again. I finally talked the d00dZ at work to get me a little help. I am maintaining 8 full websites as well as development duties by myself. This week I am busy studying for the RHCE course I will be taking in Durham, NC next week. Been doing tons of stuff with gdb the last few weeks to get a good grasp on it.

In other news, if it interests anyone I have been using the Scite editor in linux for both php and pascal and it does work really nice. I had to add .pp and .inc to the pascal definitions but that is little more than a simple config file edit. I need to hack the source when I get a chance to get the darn window to size correctly, other than that it is a really nice general purpose editor.

That link is actually tonights show.

The show is over and hour long and we took up the whole second half of the show. You have to listen to something like 6 minutes of music in the beginning but then it gets into the show.

You had told me that one before and it was in the back of my mind when talking to Doc. Now don't forget he said he wanted the screenshots, that doesn't mean they will ever be used. Also it could mean that it will just be something in the online supplement to LJ and not make it into the magazine itself. Again only time will tell.
