Finally, a new blog engine!

I have not blogged recently. The number one reason was not time, but a blog engine which kept crashing on the server. Last week, I was introduced to WordPress. Great. Loved it. And it’s stable. So, I will be using it from now on.

I have some content prepared that I was not able to blog about and hopefully the engine will allow me to blog faster. With the old engine it was a chore to upload images and it needed a lot of work.

There are some new things as well. The sidebar is filled with other interesting Delphi Feeds, DelphiFeeds.com being the most prominent. Most of the “official” CodeGear blogs are covered in there as well.

Out of pure self-interest I also put the DevExpress newsfeed there - hopefully this will be helpful for some of my readers as well, as I know that some of them use DevExpress components for their Delphi development. Personally, I am a big fan of the DXperience component-set and use it for my .NET development tasks.

Aside from ECO, which has often been called “Borland’s ORM-Solution” in the past, I had a detailed look at XPO by DevExpress. Hopefully, I will be able to write down some interesting differences for you. I think there are excellent use-cases for both products and this will be (”the”) one blog where you can read about it. Thus, I added the product to the tag line of my blog.

Commenting is switched on again. I have big hopes in the new system that I do not get spammed so vehemently that I have to switch it off like last time.

Yet again, welcome to my “new” blog. I hope you will continue to enjoy my posts.
