As a new podcast creator audio quality is a big deal to me. In this last podcast I tried a few things differently to get better audio quality. In my opinion it is a lot better, but the voice levels are uneven now – with me a lot quieter now. The odd thing is my [...]
This week is an interview with Craig Peterson, the Lead Developer on Scooter Software’s Beyond Compare, one of my favorite utilities. We discuss deveoping on the Linux platform with Kylix, adding Unicode Support pre-Delphi 2009, the new version of Beyond Compare and some tips for using it, plus a whole lot more.

New Poll for your voting pleasure. Please let me know your favorite podcast format of the ones I have provided so far. I plan on mixing it up with a couple different formats, but it would be nice to know the preferred format. BTW, there is another screen cast coming . . . .

This episode is the first of what I hope to be a recurring feature where I get together with other bloggers and community members to discuss Delphi news. We talk about Delphi 2009, Stack Overflow and their OpenId Issues, why we use Delphi, and other current events.
There is a thread on Stack Overflow listing the hidden features of Delphi. Worth checking out. If you don’t see the features you know of then be sure to add them. Additionally I added a side bar on the left that lists the 10 most recent Stack Overflow questions related to Delphi.
