Hi, (sorry, this message is very long) WITH THANKS TO DMITRY and Team!!!
-- unfortunately I have not much of a sense of humour today. I think I have too many women on my mind ?!?:) :(. I am a single man looking for love and sex... At the moment I am crying and I have my stereo playing my favourite music ["Garbage : Beautiful Garbage" -- Australian Rock'N'Roll ]. (I wrote this paragraph AFTER the following). TRichmemo 1.1.2.pew compiles okay with Lazarus 0.9.28 (Linux Ubuntu 10.04) but has an error when you place it on a new form. Something about error creating image when placing it on the form. Not working!!! I installed 0.9.29.2 a week ago and I have not updated it since. I am NOT a full time developer. Yes, I do know some Pascal, Delphi and Lazarus... and some other languages. You could say Pascal is my favourite language. dmitry contacted me last week by email about the version of TRichMemo component I was working on. The progress I have made so far is: I worked on it a week ago. I have not worked on it since. dmitry asked me how I was going with and I said that I would try to have it ready by last Friday (2 days ago). Friday has come and gone and I will be honest am say that I have not been really interested in it. (from http://pewink.info ) Lazarus page (currently one TRichMemo 1.1.2.pew -- a work-in-progress) Here you will find a few Lazarus unofficial components which I am working on on the Lazarus page (there is a dragon on the page for no other reason than because he is cute!) Apologies to dmitry. I love the lazarus team and admire your dedication. It is also difficult for me to grasp the concepts of why 0.9.28 is stable and there exists a much more developed 0.9.29.??? version available which is popular but unstable. I have only the rudimentary and basic understanding of subversion... well actually let me rephrase that... I think I know *how* it works but I have not learnt the commands etc. My email addy is [email protected] -- and this is somewhat misleading :-))) I am actually a part-time hobby developer with a dozen or so programs written several years back in Delphi 3 and 5. I am very proud of my skills ... such as they are. I am created some simple games with Delphi 5 years ago and I wanted to port them over to Lazarus (whatever is the best version)... My issues are these: a) I am honestly not fully committed to being a full time programmer. My training is as a technical draftsman with CAD experience and basic web design, html and some database work (but not a lot of SQL). Delphi was one of my hobbies. b) I would be much happier if I could form some kind of casual network of friends to help me develop, test and release my lazarus projects. I actually don't really know many people who have volunteered their time to help me test my ported programs (mainly games). This leads to (a) -- even less interest in being a one-man-show. c) There are far too many licence 'agreements' or whatever... I am very confused about which one I would release my code with. I want to release my source code for the public to use to show my appreciation for the help I have received. Those interested in my web design skills will find my main personal website here: http://pewink.info (It use to be pewink.org but I mixed up the redirection settings so I purchased a new domain.) Scroll down to Lazarus, Delphi and Kylix page. Lazarus code is NOT present ... it is PLANNED for the future... when I cannot tell you. I have dozens of working Lazarus projects and I still cogitating (=thinking) about how I will go about this. In case you are wondering... my pewink.info page is very big and contains almost everything I could think of which I can include. I have poetry by myself and other poets, lots of personal images and some free true type fonts and programs by me without source code. Most people who visit my website congratulate me on a job well done. That is rewarding... but I need some fellow users and coders who are willing to help me develop open source games. I can do most of it myself but I am losing interest at times. See (a) -- it can be disheartening at times. One final note: I have Schizophrenia and I regularly take medication. This works well. It is Spring time here in Hobart, Australia and I trying to meet some ladies via the Internet. Women are confusing at the best of times and exciting at the rest of times. :-))) -- Proudly developing Quality Cross Platform Open Source Games Since 1970 with a Commodore PET 4016 with 16 KRAM (I may cancel www.pews-freeware-games.org -- lost interest. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
