Living Room / Re: End of 35mm film - long live digital - or is it?
« on: May 26, 2006, 05:29 AM »
I think it will be awhile before processing completely disappears being that having professional quality prints is still something people want even if all they have is a digital camera.

People still can't edit photos like a pro too, meaning if you want your pics looking their best you'd still have to let a pro handle them, digital or not.

And what parent wants to let their child take an expensive digital camera on a class trip when it would make more sense to hand them a disposable 35mm?

What about weddings where it has become kind of customary to put a disposable camera on each table at the reception and let your guests snap pics for you?

35mm isn't going anywhere till disposable digital replaces the disposable 35mm. (is there even such thing as disposable digital cameras yet?)


btw...I still own a 110 that is near impossible to buy film for these days, and that is a sad thing.

and mouser...where is the quick reply in this section of the forum?  :huh:

Delphi and C++ Builder / Re: Something you should know about C++ Builder

delphi does have the same issue...but the default settings are different than C++ builder's settings...they are already set correctly

(thanks for the avatar compliment :))

Delphi and C++ Builder / Something you should know about C++ Builder
« on: May 25, 2006, 09:59 AM »
Not knowing much about anything, I translated & compiled a project I had written in Delphi 6, with C++ Builder 6.

This ran just fine on my PC and the file size was nice and small...I was impressed.

Then I gave the file to someone else and that was when the problems began....it started complaining of missing .dll's on their pc.

If you want to distribute your files and avoid the problem I had this is what you have to do:

  • Under project/options/linker you need to uncheck "Use Dynamic RTL"
  • and under project/options/packages you need to uncheck "Build with Runtime Libraries."

Unless you do this, others will have trouble running your apps.

Be prepared to see the file size grow enormously.

This applies to C++ Builder, not Delphi. The default settings in Delphi work just fine and you don't have to change them.

Living Room / Re: OK - lets get to know each other... who are you, what do you do, where from?
« on: May 25, 2006, 07:04 AM »
I don't normally post in these types of "who are you" forums as I never really liked tooting my own horn and I usually let people get to know me by interacting with me...but I feel it's about time I do so...so here goes:

I am a 40 yr old woman who at some point early on in life decided to become a programmer and ended up having to sweep those dreams under the rug for a bunch of reasons and never did become a programmer. But dreams have a way of coming back to haunt you, so it might be a bit late to be starting out and starting over, but better late than never.

Since I married a really 'old fashioned' Italian guy, I do not work outside of my home, and I spend most of my time on my computer.


Online pursuits:

  • amateur crappy web design
  • graphic art and photo restoration
  • teaching myself programming
  • participating in various programming communities aimed at self-education
  • researching what programming ebooks are freely available and posting the links to my book site
  • posting to my 11 blogs
  • maintaining and improving my 7 websites and contributing graphics & coding to at least 3 others
  • keeping up with 9 email accounts
  • saving winmx from extinction
  • chatting in no less than 11 chatrooms on 4 networks in both English and Italian (with a translator I made)
  • providing volunteer pc tech support on aol to a list of about 200 people
  • playing silly flash games at neopets.com
  • tweaking my system to improve stability, minimize the chance of data loss, and make it more organized
  • going on click adventures that lead me all over the web & learning all kinds of new things
  • collecting & analyzing other people's art
  • downloading & trying out all kinds of freeware
  • letting other people pick my brain
  • socializing in a few online 'mental institutions'
  • /\/\artin watching (a brilliant young programmer from the UK and I think he's such a hottie ;))
  • creating a personal recipe database from all those original creations I have made over the years and scribbled down on paper (which will be shared online some day or published in book form)


Offline pursuits:

  • embroidery from original designs
  • crochet from original designs
  • hand painting artwork on my fingernails
  • sewing clothing and home accessories
  • various types of crafts
  • cooking & baking


Education:

I never finished high school, never went to college...but I am a certified floral designer and received my certificate from Montclair State University (totally useless). Everything I know about computers, web design, digital art, and programming... I taught myself within the last 7 years.

I am from New Jersey, USA. My small town is the official Cherry Blossom Capital of America.

Required local photos:





and a pic of me (morphed & manipulated to resemble an Alphonse Mucha style painting):



Sorry to have made this so long but next time people want to know about me I can just send them here and share both my bio and Donation Coder with them at the same time. :D

Borland C++ Builder Contest / Re: C++ Builder Contest Webpage is Live
« on: May 25, 2006, 05:10 AM »
Borland never offered a non-expiring free personal edition of C++ Builder 6 for download on their site. You had to find a magazine with a CD or buy a CD from them.

But they did allow it to be offered by Nokia as part of a free Symbian Series 60 SDK download.

Go grab a copy before it's gone!

Just click "I agree" and the download will begin and you will have a copy of C++ Builder 6 Personal Edition, that will never expire on you:
