For all the Android developers out there, we’ve just published a technical post with four big tips for keeping Google Cloud Messaging working reliably in your apps.
Google Cloud Messaging is the technology used for Push notifications on Android and these four tips are the things we wish we’d known when we started working on Pushbullet!

ForNeVeR now maintains ManagedSpy, see his answer on StackOverflow
BTW, I’ve cloned the original ManagedSpy source code and maintaining the code today (for example, ported it to .NET4).
See project on GitHub.

Summary: Always try to avoid sharing .DCU files between projects.
I see a lot of projects at clients that do not have their individual DCU directories set (therefore having the DCU files in the same directory as the PAS files causing shared units to share the DCU files), or share DCU files among different projects.
Both are a very bad idea, as the compiler does not always understand when the DCU file does not match the combination of PAS file and compiler options.
The result is the occasional use of the DCU file in stead of the PAS file causing wrong code to be used, or wrong debugger information to be included.

Do not forget to register for the RAD-in-Action Webinar Unit Testing in Delphi featuring Nick Hodges.
If you cannot watch it live: register anyway, as that will give you the URL for the replay download.
Very interesting stuff (I attended his sessions during the German EKON Conference) and a very entertaining speaker.
He is going to cover a lot in this seminar, and it is a great addition to the material in his Coding in Delphi book (Warren Postma wrote a nice review). You get the electronic edition of the book free when you have Delphi XE5, a hard-copy should be available soon. Read the rest of this entry »

Just as a few small notes as a reminder to myself:
- bash profile shortcuts to the right PAServer or paserver
- PAServer command-line options
- example output of PAServer commands

Just got bitten by Wrong time zone using Chrome on Mac:
Chrome does not pick up on time zone changes until a new tab is opened or the browser restarted.
Actually, it requires a browser restart, as below is the difference between a new Chrome tab and running on jsc on the console: Read the rest of this entry »

Now I have these aliases in my ~/.bash_profile:
alias jsc='/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/jsc'
alias JavaScript='/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/jsc'
Now I can use the WebKit jsc from the console.

I’m not sure how to categorize this yet, so it is both under Power User and Development/Software Development.
A long while ago (somewhere mid 2013), the official Dilbert RSS feeds got disabled.
More precisely: initially they pointed each entry in the RSS feed to an antey specific landing page that made you click through the Dilbert.com site to browse for the comic strip. Which is understandable as they want to show you more ads than the RSS feed would.
Later they screwed up those landing pages page so you could not get to the Dilbert site any more, nor see those ads. You get to see only this:
Dilbert will be back soon! We are updating the site for you and will be back shortly. In the meantime, how about laughing at a comic or two on our sister site?
Which makes it a no-loss for Dilbert to re-create an RSS feed, as that will make you see the comics, enhancing at least the Dilbert brand value.
Of course you can go through http://www.dilbert.com/fast manually, but that is outside my feed aggregator realm. Read the rest of this entry »
