Wayback Machine search string for either docwiki, Delphi 2007 or Delphi 2009 docs

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/21

A long time ago, I wrote about Google Search string for either docwiki, Delphi 2007 or Delphi 2009 docs.

Well, not long after Embarcadero totally messed up their DocWiki installation, ditched all DocWiki history cand causing a multi-day DocWiki outage (see The Delphi documentation site docwiki.embarcadero.com has been down/up oscillating for 4 days is now down for almost a day.), they also killed their (then still working) Docs server (containing all the Delphi 2007 and Delphi 2009 documentation).

That means the search strings in my previous blog post mentioned above do not work any more. The only way to find back that kind of documentation is through old blog posts (those usually are in the various Web Search Engine indexes), or through the Wayback Machine.

What Embarcadero also did not do is cooperate with the people at the Internet Archive to ensure the docs server was completely archived in the Wayback Machine. Since about Delphi 2010, their behaviour has been ticking boxes in the product feature matrices instead of tickling their users with great user experience including understanding what ensuring history is available actually means.

bluesky-social/social-app: The Bluesky Social application for Web, iOS, and Android

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/21

Took me a while to notice this is open source: [Wayback/Archive] bluesky-social/social-app: The Bluesky Social application for Web, iOS, and Android

Via [Wayback/Archive] Gergely Orosz on Twitter: “Wow. The other Blue site open sourced their app (The protocol is already open sourced) Unlike Twitter’s recommendation algorithm that is a fork (and not the real thing), both these are the prod thing. This developing in the open is new, and encouraging! “
