GExperts 1.37 (commit 875, but no tag yet) now supports Delphi XE6 and XE5, and ahost of older Delphi versions. Binary downloads are available at Download | GExperts
These were the release news items:
In addition to what is in those items, 1.37contain a substantial speed improvement and some other fixes from me (I hope this fix also will get in later) in the Grep Search.
It is likely that this will be the last GExperts that support Pre-Delphi-2007 versions (currently 2006, 2005, 8.02, 7.1 and 6.02).
It is not clear if there will be a GExperts for Appmethod, as Appmethod does not provide functioning command-line compilers like I already blogged about in Spring4D now has projects for Appmethod, but it cannot support Appmethod in the automated build engine.
You can get an Experimental GExperts version for Delphi XE6..6.02 (that includes a source formatter) from Experimental GExperts Version » twm’s blog.
From Thomas Mueller (the author of the experimental GExperts versions), there are also a few other interesting blog posts you probably will like:

+This is why I Code has pointed me to a really nice app called CSS Vocabulary which interactively shows you what is what in CSS.
Click on the CSS code or the column with CSS syntax elements on the right to see their correspondence.
The app is written by About Ville – Foolproof by design and source code is at the sakamies/css-vocabulary · GitHub repository.

Thanks User Andrew Hare – Stack Overflow for answering this on Stack Overflow.
I’m pretty sure it works in all .NET and C# versions starting with 2.0.
Here is a hack-ish way to do it without having to load the entire output string into an XmlDocument: Read the rest of this entry »

I just watched the 2nd Launch Webinar Today for Delphi XE6, C++Builder XE6 and RAD Studio XE6.
Below my signature is the Q&A of it. A whole lot of them (:

Thanks a lot Steve Pomeroy! And shame on me for finding out (through Michael Panzer, thanks for your notification) this chart only today (he published this chart on 2013-08-20).
Steve’s quote on it:
After struggling with trying to figure out how various pieces fit together, I’ve done some research and put together the complete Android Activity/Fragment lifecycle chart. This has two parallel lifecycles (activities and fragments) which are organized vertically by time. Lifecycle stages will occur in the vertical order in which they’re displayed, across activities and fragments. In this way, you can see how your fragments interact with your activities.
In addition to the attached image, I’ve also got an SVG: http://staticfree.info/~steve/complete_android_fragment_lifecycle.svg which is suitable for printing.
If this is missing lifecycle steps or is inaccurate in any way, let me know so I can update it!
Note: there is also a large bitmap of the chart.

Thanks Olivier SCHWAB for pointing me to this nice interview with Florian Klämpfl on SourceForge about April 2014 Project of the Month, Free Pascal | SourceForge Community Blog.
Two things I didn’t know yet:
- FreePascal started in the Turbo Pascal era (the first version was before Delphi 1.0 got released) as a 32-bit compiler project.
- FreePascal 3.0 will support jvm output (like Oxygene does).
Besides Florian, there are quite a few more people on the FreePascal team. I met most of them at last years PasCon: really nice guys.

Today, Ilya Grigorik wrote a nice G+ entry with this pointer:
Introduction to A*: http://stanford.io/1gze9d7 – awesome hands-on overview of the A* pathfinding algorithm. Long but rewarding read.
Well, the long read is indeed long, and on my stack of things to read.
Ever since the early 1990s when the original DOS version of NS Reisplanner came out (with a really bad algorithm for finding train rides) I’ve been interested in this, but never found a really good hands-on introduction.
Now there is one (:
