While writing this blog entry, I’m installing my new copy of Delphi XE (formerly called Delphi 2011 by some people).
Delphi XE and RAD Studio XE got RTM today, and are now available for purchase.
Contact my colleague Gwan Tan if you want to order it from Dutch speaking countries, and Thorsten Nannen if you want to order it from German speaking countries. Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes the VMware tools need to be restarted in order to get the shared clipboard functionality working again.
From inside a Windows VM, you can do that like this:
net stop vmtools
This will create this output:
The VMware Tools Service service is stopping.
The VMware Tools Service service was stopped successfully.
Then start the service again:
net start vmtools
Giving this output:
The VMware Tools Service service is starting.
The VMware Tools Service service was started successfully.
From outside your virtual machine, you can do it like on this URL using sc: http://www.dailyhypervisor.com/2009/03/25/script-restarting-vmware-tools-remotely/

Now your readers can have an easy way to tweet about your blog postings too: New Twitter “Tweet Button”.
From the post by Andy P (wordpress team):
New Twitter “Tweet Button”
…
…
When one of your readers hits the Tweet Button, they will be shown a popup that includes a shortened link to your post. Readers can add in a quick message, and then hit “Tweet” to send the post to their Twitter feed as a tweet — all without leaving your blog.
…
To enable the button on your blog please visit the “Appearance > Extras” menu and select the “Show a Twitter Tweet Button on my posts” option.
Edit: 20100901:
The WordPress team has moved the Twitter Tweet button into Settings > Sharing. In addition to that, they added sharing mechanisms for FaceBook, Press This, Reddit, Digg, StumbleUpon, Email and Print.
In addition to those, you can define your own sharing methods.
You can read more about this move here.

Anthony Frazier mentions two very true paths for optimizing your Delphi compile times:
To get rid of the second, you should split your interface and your implementation.
Often, one of these two solutions work for that well:
Only if those options do not work, then start using Delphi SpeedUp by Andreas Hausladen.
