@gabr: “Sorry, the page you were looking for in the blog The Delphi Geek does not exist.” (the amazon one) Without a dot at the end it works: http://www.thedelphigeek.com/2010/03/books-garbage-collection.html

BTW, the GC book we are talking about is described in short here (along with the link to the Amazon): http://www.thedelphigeek.com/2010/03/books-garbage-collection.html.

@Jim: Congratulations for a very good (let’s say B to B+) spelling of my complicated name

@Jim
Mea culpa! And to think that as a Brit, and a sarcastic one at that, I really ought to be able to detect a bit of irony when I see it. Oh well, back to the drawing board for me!

@David: The take it down comment was mostly sarcastic for @Gabr’s benefit since we had tried so many times to record this podcast.

@Jim

Why take it down? There’s lots of good stuff there. Pronunciation doesn’t matter. Well, it’s good to try to get it right but really, it doesn’t distract from what you’ve done here.

@David: I fixed the spelling, and I never claimed to be a Delphi Expert, but glad you think so. I knew the pronunciation was off, but it was after 2 AM and I was having a hard time convincing my mouth to say it right. Thanks for the catch though.

@Mason: I agree those are memory leaks, but I also know that I have been in many heated debates with individuals who claim they are not, so acknowledging that some people would not call them a memory leak is fair.

@Gabr: I’ll take this episode down and we can try to record it again. It will give me more time to work on my pronunciation.

@Mason: I do agree with your definition. Now we only have to re-record the interview

In my defense – it’s sometimes hard for me to quickly formulate my answers in English and then I get slightly lost.

It’s Blaise not Blasie and your pronunciation was way out. The guy’s name was Blaise Pascal and you really ought to get on top of that if you are purporting to be a Delphi expert!!

Thanks for the podcast though.
