20 resources on migrating to Unicode with Delphi | Software on a String
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/07/08
Great post by Marjan Venema when you need to migrate your old Delphi programs to the modern Delphi world: [Wayback] 20 resources on migrating to Unicode with Delphi | Software on a String.
I’m glad that some of the links overlap with what I posted and presented in the past at:
- Some Unicode links.
- Unicode at wiert.me.
- Video + Q&A transcript of Using Unicode and Other Encodings in your Programs.
Well done Marjan!

Hmm, need to check why MariaDB got installed
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/07/06
The zypper dup has installed MariaDB; now I need to figure out which dependency did this, as I’m not happy with the update message:
Message from package mariadb: You just installed MySQL server for the first time. You can start it using: rcmysql start During first start empty database will be created for your automatically. PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MariaDB root USER ! To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: '/usr/bin/mysqladmin' -u root password 'new-password' '/usr/bin/mysqladmin' -u root -h misibook password 'new-password' Alternatively you can run: '/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation' which will also give you the option of removing the test databases and anonymous user created by default. This is strongly recommended for production servers.

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/07/06
Wow:
- 52800mAH Ultimate External Battery for Macbooks
- 26000mAH Macbook External Battery & Car Adapter
That’s (nah Triad) 50+ and 25+ Ampere hour of battery capacity.
Which is the similar to what car and motor cycle batteries can hold.
