Open Source Myths
A post in our local Linux user group pointed me to an article about Common Open Source Myths. I especially like the All Software should be Free paragraph; Software should never be treated as something that must be free. Even as in beer. Because at a very macro level, the small company is going to [...]

We started INDUG a few years back, and boy has it grown! 776 members and counting…what’s surprising is that in the last few days the activity has started to heat up. Turns out there were 48 members in the last two months!
Delphi is growing up, at least in India. I don’t know what the [...]
MSBuild - the build tool of the future?
I just found out that Microsoft is planning to ship MSBuild as part of the CLR. Now I can’t find the link to MSBuild itself - anyone know? - but I found the blog of the MSBuild dev team. You can also download the bits that will work with version 1.2 and 2.0.
Very interesting [...]
Set Next Statement in Delphi?
I am a huge fan of Matt Pietrek. I also just found his home page. And guess what, he even worked for Borland!!!

I found a GotDotNet Sample that looks like it has some of the Windows.H declarations. No #defines converted, though. So why am I harping about all this PInvoke stuff? i just don’t believe that .NET’s going to be the only platform for years to come, and there’s tons of things in Win32 that are [...]

I was wondering how the groups and "tiles" worked in XP. For groups we have some code here. Useful, definitely - still need to figure out the "tile" thing.

I got this snippet from the borland.public.delphi.internet.isapi-webbroker newsgroup - a simple way to unload an ISAPI dll programmatically:
var
WSite, WServer, WRoot: Variant;
begin
WSite := CreateOleObject(’IISNamespace’);
WSite := WSite.GetObject(’IIsWebService’, ‘localhost/w3svc’);
WServer := WSite.GetObject(’IIsWebServer’, ‘1′);
WRoot := WServer.GetObject(’IIsWebVirtualDir’, [...]
