Borland to sell IDE products

Filed under: Delphi, News — Dimitris Giannitsaros @ 13:44

So Borland is selling it’s development products.

Although I consider myself a web developer, I use Borland tools when I need to develop desktop applications (Cheez for example). I’ve been a fun of Borland products since 1994, using Turbo Pascal and later Delphi (I also tried VB from 1998-2001 and hated it).

I guess this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it all depends on who the buyer will be. I hope not some mega corporation, where these products will be abandoned and forgotten.

GLFlickrSaver

GLFlickrSaver is a an OpenGL screensaver that feeds on Flickr. You set some settings, e.g. from which user’s photostream to feed, and then your screensaver displays images from this user. Nice!

Moreover it’s written in Delphi and it uses dFlickr, an open source API Kit I have written for Delphi and Flickr services. That made me quite happy!
