I always wanted to know how many people use my experimental version of GExperts but never came around to actually evaluate the download counts. Today I finally did it. In total there were 9092 file downloads from downloads.dummzeuch.de/GExperts.

USB tethering a OnePlus One phone to Windows XP
For whatever reason my old Windows XP netbook doesn't connect to our holiday flat's WIFI while my OnePlus One Android phone does. So I thought I'd simply tether it to the Netbook via USB to get around this problem. I tried that before with other phones and other computers and don't remember ever having a … Continue reading USB tethering a OnePlus One phone to Windows XP
Removing Google Fonts from WordPress driving you crazy?
I just tried to remove all references to Google Fonts from my blog (which is using WordPress) because they can be a issue under the GDPR. There are many descriptions on how to do that and various plugins that claim to do it for you. I tried several ways, but none seemed to work. There … Continue reading Removing Google Fonts from WordPress driving you crazy?
GExperts 1.3.10 experimental twm 2018-06-03 released

Impressum und Datenschutzerklärung
Und damit der Amtschimmel was zum Wiehern hat, gibt es jetzt rechts oben Links zum Impressum und zur Datenschutzerklärung.

Nussecken-Rezept (German only)
Meine Frau hat vor kurzem ein altes Familienrezept ausgegraben, das nicht nur ich sondern auch meine Arbeitskollegen sehr lecker fanden. Leider kann ich das für die derzeit in sog. Bäckereien verkauften Nussecken nicht sagen. Die sind in der Regel viel zu süß und werden dazu noch in Schokolade ertränkt (Löbliche Ausnahme: Die Nussecken der Bio-Bäckerei … Continue reading Nussecken-Rezept (German only)
I’m moving my projects from SourceForge to OSDN
Since the service at SourceForge has declined to a point where it becomes unbearable (Timeouts on SVN commits? Come on!) I will be moving all my projects to OSDN. So far dzLargeTextViewer, dzlib+tools and (today) the Delphi Ide Explorer Expert have been moved.
Remote access to the Embarcadero License Center via SSH tunnel
Once you have set up an Embarcadero License Center (ELC) for your company (with network named user or concurrent licenses) you will need network access to it in order to start the Delphi IDE. Usually the server will only be accessible from within your intranet (I for one would not trust the ELC security to … Continue reading Remote access to the Embarcadero License Center via SSH tunnel
