Using Logmein with Ubuntu 64 bits.

If you are a user of Ubuntu 64 and you need to acess logmein you will ahve a few problems because theres not java plugin for firefox working ok.

The open source plugins availables are incompatible with sun java or lack of functionalities.

PHP Toolkit available - Delphi or lazarus forms to PHP in a single step

It is gratifying to announce that is has released a set of automatic translation of Delphi applications to PHP, more specifically using VCL4PHP.

As the author of the same suggests, allows for three things:

1) Will automatically convert forms delphi or Lazarus to VCL4PHP, while retaining the same provision.
2) Convert Lazarus in a IDE for PHP.
3) Create extensions for PHP using language as pascal.

If you want to see a simple example of its potential diriganse to this site.

The homepage of the project is here
