Season’s Greetings

Thinking about the gap between my current and my last postings I came to wonder how James Joyce worked on his novels, while buried with his children’ cries and the struggle for making a living. If you believe in anecdotes, then it is easy to believe that for most bloggers the situation like Joyce’ one is very common – too many distractions and mandatory duties. Of course at the end some postings will percolate up, but others will not i.e. they will be lost.

One solution for immediately, but partially posting is by using the Twitter. In this way you can preserve your otherwise perishable thoughts. One can consider such posting like a brain snippets, which on later time can be extended to full blog posting.

As far as I am concerned I treat my postings as populating a Content Management System (CMS) with an anonymous readers’ login, but with a single purpose to serve its author. Similar considerations apply for all of my programs I offer to the public – they are created with their biggest user in mind, and that is their author. If somebody else performs similar job duties, then my programs could have another user.

In the eve of New Year I have desire to compile my old programs and create my new programs with Delphi 2010 and my updated 3rd party components list. From my components list I dropped only LEADTOOLS Imaging programming interface since LEADTOOLS dropped the VCL technology from their list. Fortunately for me I found a new vendor – MCM Design, whose Imaging VCL set is an excellent choice in functionality and price. Also thankfully to Share-It one can find a lot of useful software for developers. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
