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
Given that the last Delphi release was more than a year ago and that I am about to go on vacation so I won't be able to download and install a new version I would expect a new Delphi release pretty soon. On the other hand this time I actually managed to extend "my" subscription … Continue reading GExperts 1.3.10 experimental twm 2018-06-03 released
Delphi Help Expert updated for Delphi 10.2
I have updated my Delphi Help Expert (formerly called Delphi 7 Help for BDS) to support Delphi 10.2. I also moved the project to OSDN and updated all links
Impressum und Datenschutzerklärung
Und damit der Amtschimmel was zum Wiehern hat, gibt es jetzt rechts oben Links zum Impressum und zur Datenschutzerklärung. Bleibt zu hoffen, dass die jeweiligen Generatoren etwas erzeugt haben, was nicht abmahnfähig ist. Mir persönlich gefällt insbesondere die Datenschutzerklärung nicht, denn laut DSGVO soll sie leicht verständlich sein, das was da drin steht, ist es … Continue reading Impressum und 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
TThread is not a normal class
In Delphi, threads have traditionally been implemented as classes descending from TThread. While there have been quite a few improvements to multithreading, TThread is still the most compatible way. But TThread is not a normal class. In a normal class, the constructor and destructor usually look like this: [delphi] constructor TSomeClass.Create; begin inherited; FSomeList := … Continue reading TThread is not a normal class
If your Samba logon script does not get executed
... even though you can open and read it fine in an editor: You should check its Linux access permissions. If it is not marked as executable, this might be the cause. Change it with chmod like this: [bash] root@server:/home/netlogon$ ls -la total 12 drwxrwxr-x+ 2 root root 4096 Apr 13 09:04 . drwxr-xr-x 46 … Continue reading If your Samba logon script does not get executed
