Earlier this week, I wrote about FastMM XE2 update on SourceForge.net in the SVN SCM trunk.
Pierre le Riche has been busy, and got the x64 FullDebugMode working with these two changes to the SourceForge.net: FastMM: SCM:
Needs to be tested, so will do that the upcoming days.

Almost a year ago there was a post on the MSDN forums titled EF4 – update model from database ignores some changes.
These are the changes it ignores that I found so far:
Have you found others?
Which EF versions are worse/better in this respect?
Note that the EF support in Visual Studio 2010 does not warn you if the the model is incompatible with your database.
You will get errors like this at run-time:

Finally no more need to run Windows Server 2008 on your laptop to teach Microsoft training classes: Bringing Hyper-V to “Windows 8” – Building Windows 8 – Site Home – MSDN Blogs.
Is Virtual PC now dead forever?
And how will VMware react on this?

Quote van de SDC site:
Helaas heeft de SDN moeten besluiten om SDC voor dit jaar (2011) van de agenda te halen.
In 2012 zullen wij opnieuw een SDC organiseren.
De aankomende SDE van 9 december is reeds in ver gevorderd stadium
Wij hopen u daar te mogen begroeten
Echt heel jammer, want de SDC bracht al heel lang kleur in het landschap van de Nederlandse software ontwikkelaar, juist vanwege de keur aan sprekers (ze haalden altijd de meeste interessante sprekers uit buiten- en binnenland).
SDC (en haar voorloper CttM) was erbij toen Clipper begon, Delphi begon en .NET begon. Warme herinneringen komen boven aan al die prachtige conferenties, en mensen die ik er heb leren kennen.
Laten dus hopen dat het volgend jaar gewoon weer door gaat.

Recently I got this error when copying a huge number of files from Windows XP x86 to Windows 7 x64
System error 1130 has occurred.
Not enough server storage is available to process this command.
Instead of changing the IRPStackSize as mentioned at
PChucks Network: Server Functionality Affected By IRPStackSize, I just restarted the “Server” service (and the depending “Computer Browser” service) on the Windows 7 system, and everything worked dandy.

Pierre le Riche just committed two changes to the SourceForge.net: FastMM: SCM:
Which means that I can demo this during my DelphiLive sessions.
Great work Pierre!

I had a pretty OK direct KLM flight from AMS to SFO.
Apart from some people behind me that seemed to have sufficient motoric coordination issues that they had to grab my chair each time they got up, or put their traytable up. Some – even Dutch! – seem to think that using force is the only way to get things done. So thank you people in seats 28H, J and K for ruining my sleep.
The advantage of being in seat 27H in a Boeing 747-400 is that you get food really fast, and have direct access to drinks from the galley :)
Frank Stepan – one of the DelphiLive organizers – picked me up at the airport, and got me to the conference hotel in Downtown San Jose.
Check in went smooth.
Connecting to the Internet too: it is a breeze, compared to the Swisscom experience at the NH Hotel in Köln last week.
Not as fast as the KOMED internet on saturday, but you have two choices:
FreeDowntownWifi, which is – err – free. And has reasonable speed.
iBAHN internet, which is – err – free for DelphiLive attendees ans speakers. And also has reasonable speed.
So I upgraded my iPad firmware, downloaded the new TomTom USA Map, and synced my gadgets to the cloud.
Time to do some final preparations on my tutorial and sessions, and then get something to eat.

Sometimes it is convenient to order something to be delivered in the USA, but from a non-USA credit-card. For instance when visting the USA or when sending a gift to a friend.
Many companies don’t allow that.
These companies are of no use when you live outside the USA, but want to have something delivered within the USA:
Those companies do work though:
This list will be updated over time…

An HTML5 grid with no flickering, very little delay and smooth appearance on both regular and iPad webbrowsers: at the Delphi-Tage.de conference, Bruno Fierens of TMS Software just showed their new IntraWeb HTML5 chart component as he promised on his blog.
Cool work in progress.
Should become public soon!

In order to get non-roaming UMTS internet in Germany, I borrowed a Huawei USB device.
Though I had bad experiences with those kinds of devices 5 years ago under XP (where the Huawei software would add a new virtual COM port for each install, finally blocking at COM32, and also blocking the recognition of any new USB device) I hoped for a better experience this time.
Not so: The new software is called “Mobile Partner”, but I’d like them to strip the name “Partner” of their software.
