[DUG] Launch event shennanigans (was: Indy and Delphi 2010 - supplemental)

[Jolyon Smith]

I might have dismissed the comments as tongue in cheek too had Richard
simply added a "just kidding" to the end of his comments.  But he didn't,
and as it was I felt he left the room with the impression that I was
genuinely unfriendly and unhelpful, which given that he was - presumably -
trying to encourage greater participation on the list seemed a bizarre
approach to take in the first place.

 

A colleague observed to me afterward that Richards comments were "totally
uncalled for. And very stupid from a guy like him", so I wasn't the only one
that felt that a bad impression of me had been unfairly conveyed.

I can't decide if you are being tongue in cheek yourself or not here. I
thought yes for the first three paragraphs and then no for the next two.

 

In any case like Robert Martin I hope no "ham" has been done. ;-)

No I was not "a problem" at the Delphi launch.  One pointed and tongue in
cheek observation w.r.t the fact that the Project Options dialog does not
itself make use of the much vaunted checkbox property editor for boolean's
does not amount to "a problem" in my book.

 

No, Richard for some reason chose to single me out as unfriendly and
unhelpful specifically w.r.t my contribution to this list.

 

It is fair to say that I have taken deep, DEEP offence at that, being among
what I consider to be among the most strenuously helpful and polite (not to
mention trying to straighten out misunderstandings between others who
perhaps have not been so helpful or friendly - not naming names, but shall
we just say that those choosing to reside in glass houses should not be so
quick to throw stones).

 

Suffice to say that any further software purchases that I personally make
shall not contribute to any swelling of Developers-Inc coffers.  I see no
need to be helpful in THAT direction at all.

 

It didn't help - although not directly connected - that presumably for some
other reason Malcolm Groves neglected to mention that it was my comment on
his blog that prompted him to have the conversation with Chris Bensen (to
whom I'd already put the idea, via his blog) about directly supporting for
Synaptics devices in the touch/gesturing engine in Delphi, preferring
instead to give the impression that this was his - or Chris' - idea.

Your best option is to join the Indy list group and post there.  Remy (i
think) is pretty active.  I have not seen any posts about this problem so i
think its likely something with your setup.

Rob

p.s. I take it you were a 'problem' at the Auckland Delphi launch?

Having switched back to compiling against the version of Indy supplied with
Delphi 2010 itself, this too does not build!!

 

The IdCodeHeader unit references IdHeaderCoderBase unit. this does not exist
in the Indy files supplied with Delphi (but *IS* present in the latest
IndyTiburon.zip.. which I can't use for the reason in the previous post).

 

HELP!?  Am I just doing something dumb?
