A few notes from the last week.

• A couple of weeks ago I ordered a second hand copy of Delphi COM Programming through one of the Amazon affiliates and it arrived yesterday, it cost $7.50 to buy and $12.50 to ship to New Zealand. It was written for Delphi 3-5, but I'm hoping it will still contain much relevant stuff. I'm wanting to improve my DataSnap knowledge which uses COM extensively. I haven't been able to find much good documentation on COM/DataSnap, just a few articles here and there. Hopefully I'll be making some movies on DataSnap with my new found knowledge - possibly to improve our Customer application. But first I think it needs to be ported from XML based files to a real database - Blackfish perhaps?
• Last night while walking the dog (at about 11pm) I had the privilege of calling the fire brigade again - a small fire in the same place as last time.
• My copy of the Delphi 2007 Handbook has been shipped from Lulu, hopefully it'll turn up next week or two and I'll be able to review it. Have you ordered your copy yet?
