So I’ve another tee implementation apart from my C# port of tee.

A while ago – while researching yesterdays post – I came across the below article that I wrote back in august 2000 for The Delphi (by Pinnacle Publishing – long gone by now) and on-line at http://www.delphidevelopernewsletter.com/dd/DDMag.nsf/WebIndexByIssue/B8FC16D8103A3760852568F600559A83
I found a cached copy first at http://www.txsz.net/xs/delphi/2/%E6%8A%80%E5%B7%A7%E5%8F%8A%E7%BB%8F%E9%AA%8C/KYLIX%EF%BC%9A%20%E7%9C%9F%E7%9B%B8.HTM and back-tracked from there.
Since the wayback machine isn’t indexed, I salvaged the copy below.

Last year, when Warren Postma wrote, I started digging for some articles I wrote about Kylix (the Delphi for Linux at the start of this century).
The second article I found (Delphi for Linux is on the Way!) was actually the first one I wrote, so I’ve put the copy below. The second article will be in my blog tomorrow.
The article below first appeared at the Pinnacle Publishing site at http://www.pinpub.com/delphi/kylix1.htm as an article for “Delphi Developers Journal” that went out of business just like “Hardcore Delphi” and “Delphi Informant Magazine” went before (actually Blaise Pascal Magazine is about the only Delphi related magazine left).
I found the title of my article through http://www.newsmth.net/bbsanc.php?path=%2Fgroups%2Fcomp.faq%2FDelphi%2FAboutDelphi%2FKylix%2FM.967808208.A then back-tracked the title via http://www.inner-smile.com/delphin.phtml

I totally forgot that GExperts can be under the Tools men
GExperts IDE configurationu (I’m so accustomed that Alt-X is GExperts and Alt-M is ModelMaker Code Explorer).
These keyboard shortcuts are only assigned when you install GExperts before you install ModelMaker Code Explorer.
If you reverse, then you have to fiddle by removing the ModelMaker Code Explorer expert, then re-add it.
Anyway: you can configure this in the “IDE” tab of the GExperts Configuration.
After that you have to restart the Delphi IDE to reflect the change.

When you want to defrag.exe (the built-in Windows one, not the SysInternals Windows NT4 one, so make sure SysInternals comes last in your path) a volume, you have to run it with an elevated UAC Admin token.
But I just found out that you can do this without an Admin token:
C:\Windows\System32>Defrag.exe C: /t /v /u
Microsoft Drive Optimizer

Hosted at: Decode URLs from The Great Suspender after a browser restart fails to reload them
Converts URLs like these:
chrome-extension://klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg/suspended.html#url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.barryodonovan.com%2F2012%2F06%2F29%2Fmigrating-svn-with-branches-and-tags-to-git
back into
http://www.barryodonovan.com/2012/06/29/migrating-svn-with-branches-and-tags-to-git
Source below.
It decodes a URL encoded by The Great Suspender which is a cool Google Chrome plugin that suspends pages after some idle time.
The uncool thing is that when Google Crome restarts after a crash (it’s software, it does that, especially as it consumes truckloads of memory and is full of memory leaks) it often fails to restore some (but not many) of the suspended pages into a usable state: it shows only the encoded URLs.

Sometime you might want to protect your data in memory – the greatest example is when dealing with anything related to passwords. It is simply not smart to keep that data around in a plain-text. In .NET there are multiple methods you can use for this purpose, starting with SecureString, ProtectedMemory, and my favorite ProtectedData.…
