Please turn off register_globals in your php.ini or make sure your webserver is setup to obey .htaccess files.
This is what I get, when I try to run Issue Tracker. *sigh* I wish I could make IIS obey .htaccess files.

I was looking for a decent Issue Tracker to support my clients. It would serve the purpose of having them know what the status of their issues (problems, questions, rfc’s) is on a I-need-to-know-now basis, whithout bothering me, or without me bothering them everytime something has changed.
A couple of weeks ago, in my .NET rulez period, I tried the IssueTracker Start Kit. Although it works, it was not really what I was looking for. Basically, it has the work-in-progress feel to it, and that’s what it is.
Today I came accross Tuxmonkey’s Issue Tracker, a piece of platform-independent software that uses PHP and Postgres/MySQL. The demo on their website gives you the opportunity to test it without having to install anything.
This is my IssueTracker of choice. When I get home I will install it, and take it into production. The client needs to know what’s up. The client is king.

Perhaps this is what I was looking for: DelphiNET. It’s old, and was created when Delphi did not support the .NET Framework yet.

Google has modified the look and feel of Blogger. The functionality had not change since Google acquired Blogger back in 2003. Changes include more functionality (comments, pictures) and more standard templates. Still, the service remains free.
If they would only change their engine to include (multiple) categories per post, then I think Blogger will be one of the best pieces of blog-software out there.

If you’re planning in migrating your Delphi 7 project to Delphi 8 for .NET, you should consider reading this page, as it lists all Delphi 7 components and what .NET-assembly you could/should use. The comparison is completed by Visual Studio .NET components and how they relate to Delphi.

John Kaster has another brilliant article about BabelCode, a webservice that converts C# code to Delphi code. It is not 100% there yet, but a lot of code can be converted already.
At least this makes it simpler to recreate all the samples found on the internet with Delphi.

Read the BDN pages for info and links.

Marco Cantu gives away chapter 3 of his new (e-)book, tentatively titled “Essential Delphi 8 for .NET”. It’s a work-in-progress, so checking back on a regular basis would be a good thing. The intended audience is Delphi-developers making the move to .NET.
Thanks Perry, for spotting this gem.

Almost being unable to do some proper internet-surfing, I almost threw the LinkSys to a galaxy far far away (where have we heard that one before?). I connected to the LinkSys website, and discovered I had missed out on two firmware versions. I downloaded the latest, and installed the thing. Hey, now I have the European channel 12 and 13 as well. Okay, let’s put the bastard at channel 13. Why not invite Murphy? But…things went allright. Flashing and resetting the WAP was what it needed. Almost…. The laptop downstairs only has 802.11b and not Wireless-G (802.11g), and so it did not recognize channel 13. So I switched back to 11. The laptop happy. The server upstairs happy. You know what? I have the same download speeds I had before things went bonkers.
I’m one happy camper…:D
