Turbo C++ 4.5 Quick Tour posted
IDC recommends Janeva for .NET/J2EE/CORBA interop
Great quotes from the IDC Insight report:
"Borland Janeva provides seamless connectivity between Microsoft .NET applications and the J2EE and CORBA infrastructures."
"Borland Janeva is a proven and effective technology for solving the interoperability issues between J2EE and .NET."
"Borland’s Janeva is letting customers solve the interoperability problem today and allowing them to create heterogeneous environments that capitalize on the benefits of both platforms as well as their investments in CORBA and COM technologies. This Insight summarizes the current situation and provides a brief review of the key features of Borland’s Janeva."
Danny continues to make headlines!
"Will giving customers a little inside information keep them loyal or let them take advantage of you? The immediacy and interaction of blogs have caught the imagination of employees who want to talk about their work with peers, customers and anyone who's interested."
Guardian: Inside track
DevRel at TechEd next week
We'll be at Microsoft TechEd in San Diego Monday through Thursday next week. Come see us in the booth. You never know what cool stuff you'll learn!

Public beta: Delphi 7 dbRTL size mismatch fix
Tuesday, May 18, 2004
Most impressive flying I've ever seen
Flying an R/C helicopter is hard. Very hard. Not to mention that if you screw up, you can actually kill someone with the pieces that fly off.
I've never even seen one being flown before. But after seeing this video, I think I've seen one of the masters, if not the master. What this guy does with his R/C helicopter is just simply amazing.
At one point he actually has it upside down on the ground, balancing on the rotor! (time 03:30)
Incredible R/C choppering
You think it's easy? (I got 500 points before I died - on the 4th try)
Delphi 8 is Free
Yes. That's right. You didn't misread the title.
I was inspired by a combination of Nick and Julian and their recent bloggings.
These little blog wars are entertaining, aren't they.
So, anyway. Delphi 8 is free if you consider ROI. Meaning that you're more productive with Delphi 8 than any with any of it's competition, so that it pays for itself.
Speaking of which, there's actually going to be a case study at BorCon 2004 in San Jose entitled "Why JBuilder Enterprise is free". It's an excercise in ROI (Return On Investment).
Back to the blog wars!
OMG! Is this blog dead?
What? No posts in two days? Did Anders kill his blog?
No, he didn't. He just took Sunday and Monday to celebrate "Syttende Mai".
Oh wait, that's a Norwegian holiday. So that can't be it.
Ah, yes, it was his anniversary.
So there, the blog isn't dead. It's still breathing.
*phew*
