If you an error like below when compiling Delphi XE5 .dproj files using msbuild … then note the documentation for Debug information (Delphi) – RAD Studio. has not been updated yet as it still lists the values {$D+} or {$D-} {$DEBUGINFO ON} or {$DEBUGINFO OFF}.
(_PasCoreCompile target) -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\12.0\Bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets(187,5): error F1026: File not found: 'False.dpr'
With Delphi XE5, you can specify 3 additional values: {$D1}, {$D2} and {$D0}, or {$DEBUGINFO 1}, {$DEBUGINFO 2} or {$DEBUGINFO 0}
In the msbuild .dproj files , the values are stored as DCC_DebugInformation elements. Read the rest of this entry »

One of the things I wish that LinkedIn implements is an easy way to connect two of your relations.
I understand that the underlying issues might be a tad more difficult than this simple request (what about spam connects, or other security concerns?), but right now the way to do this is cumbersome:
how do i connect two people ?
posted June 18, 2009 in Using LinkedIn
Daniel Jatovsky:
You cant connect two people, but you can introduce them to each other. Then its up to them to connect.
There are two methods in LinkedIn for doing this.
One is to go to each persons profile. At the top of the profile is a link to Forward this profile. Click on it, forward it to the other person with a note from yourself. Once they’ve responded positively you can forward contact information to each other.
The other is to send a message to both simultaneously. To do that, go to your Inbox and click on Compose a message and select Send a message to a connection. Write a message that you can send to both simultaneously and, if you like, check the box that allows them to see the other persons name and email address.

Researched this a long while ago, but just presented this at my Delphi cross-platform session on ITDevCon 2013 (of which some sessions have been broadcasted on YouTube):
With Android 4.2 and up, they did hide the debug mode a bit.
Perform these steps one to enable debug mode:
- Go to “Settings”.
- Scroll down to “About phone” or “About tablet”.
- Tap on “About phone” or “About table” to go to the “About” screen.
- In the “About” screen, scroll down, to “Build number”
- Tap on “Build number” seven (7!) times. It will give you some messages until finally it shows “You are now a developer”.
- (On some devices): confirm with the PIN code for your phone.
The above steps unlocked the “USB debugging” mode.
To enable or disable “USB debugging” mode:
- Go to “Settings”
- Choose “Developer Options”
- Choose “Debugging”
- Choose “USB Debugging”

This page didn’t end up high when searching for delegate Facebook group management.
So that I won’t forget:
What is a group admin?
In addition to everything that group members can do, a group admin can:
- Edit the group description and settings
- Add more admins to a group
- Remove abusive posts, and remove or ban members
You’re automatically an admin if you create a group. Otherwise, if you join a group that already has one or more admins, you can ask any of the existing admins to add you as an admin. If you’re a member of a group with no admins, you can become an admin by clicking Make Me Admin under Members in the right column.

Since about 2 months, I get truckloads of friendly comments indicating my blog is so wonderful that gets through Aksimet.
I’m not alone: one spammer posted his full spam script on Scott Hanselmans blog, and of course, Scott blogged about it: Exposed A Blog Comment Spammers Source Template
Not so cool.
Cool:

When you directly post a blog entry without scheduling, then WordPress.com adds this to your URL: &message=6&postpost=v2
It alters the left pane indicating how many posts you have done so far, but more importantly: suggests some tags based on the content of your post.
You can add this pane yourself by adding &postpost=v2 to your post editing URL.
So if your URL is something like this:
and you make it like this:
then you can add the suggested tags with ease.
I find that much easier than to use the “Choose from the most used tags” feature.

WordPress just posted a nice article on SEO for people that still don’t get that SEO is basically following common sense.
The most important bullets from the article:
SEO DOs and DON’Ts
Do:
- Regularly publish original content.
- Use a few precise categories and tags.
- Write for human ears.
- Build your traffic in smart, organic ways.
- Choose simple, meaningful post slugs.
- Create a descriptive tagline.
- Include keywords selectively.
Don’t:
- Start duplicate sites.
- “Stuff” your site with irrelevant, broad categories, tags, or buzzwords.
- Write with search engines in mind.
- Purchase or exchange meaningless “backlinks.”
- Buy into SEO fads.
- Worry too much about SEO at the expense of writing good content!
Two things I didn’t know about: WordPress generates two sitemaps for each site: both a regular XML sitemap, as well as an XML based news-sitemap.
