Some notes on getting CrystalDiskMark portable on Chocolatey

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/03

I needed the portable version of [Wayback/Archive] CrystalDiskMark on Chocolatey (unlike the [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | CrystalDiskMark (Install) package). Luckily I found the auto-update package [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | CrystalDiskInfo (Portable) and knew both that CrystalDiskMark is from the same author as CrystalDiskInfo, and that their code is on GitHub like the Chocolatey package.

Given I had a the below chocolatey-packages/automatic/crystaldiskinfo.portable as a template, I asked the CrystalDiskInfo (Portable) package maintainer if they were willing to maintain CrystalDiskMark (portable) as well and was glad the response was “yes”: [Wayback/Archive] Portabe CrystalDiskMark similar to the current CrystalDiskInfo? · Issue #159 · mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages

Redux: Which Windows Resource Editor do you use?

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/08/21

From the poll back then, I also learned about a (for me) new [Wayback/Archive] Resource Editor | MelanderBlog which is still maintained every now and then. The download is at [Wayback/Archive] Downloads | MelanderBlog (at the time of writing [Wayback] ResourceEditor20190421b.zip).

More on that and download/install locations of various resource editors below a new poll.

This new poll adds Resource Editor and allows you to make multiple choices (in case you use more than one tool):

More early Pascal history (way before Delphi; before Turbo Pascal and Quick Pascal)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/07

The people knowing about the really early Pascal history are a dying breed. So before I pass away (see the posts on my rectum cancer), let me post a few more links here that based on yesterday’s Trip down memory lane: book on p-Code based UCSD Pascal which I ended with:

I learned a few more things from [Wayback/Archive] What do you think about something like Pascal bytecode? (Page 2)

Here we go:
