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.
On the other hand, Flash plugin work out of box in ubuntu hardy 64 bits.
After do a little research i found a simple method to get logmein working.
We will install a special version of swiftweasel, running 32 bits code inside a 64 bits OS.
1)Double check universe and multiverse repos are enabled, if dont just goto System -> Adminstration -> Software sources and enable them.
2) Donwload that script, unzip and runit. More detailed instructions from the author here.
3) Choice your distro.
4) Choice internet navigator.
5) Installing progress.
6) Want install Flash? Is not a needed step, ubuntu install it rigth.
7) Install Java? Is required for use logmein.
8) Install Mplayer Plugin? Recomended.
9) The install scripts ask for your username
10) Done. We have a 32 bits firefox running on our 64 bits system.
11) Install the logmein plugin for firefox.
Get it on the logmein web, labs section, aqui . Dont install the deb file, just save that.
Open a terminal , go to the place you save the deb file and type::
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture logmein-client_1.0.387-1_i386.deb
Done, now you can enjoy using logmein in your 64 bits system.

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

I need a new hat
I was away for some time, moving my family to Santa Marta, Colombia, a beautiful place that nobody should stop visiting at least once in his life.
Many things have gone this month, but the main one is that my hat look outdated.
Actually I must stop using my hat to avoid legal implications because using that thing i'm saying something that is not true: CodeGear is no longer part of Borland but Embarcadero.
Then i think would be good if Embarcadero upgrade me to a new hat, so that some misinformed that see me running or footing in the beach dont will think CodeGear is part of Borland, wich do you think about it?
You know where I am Embarcadero, and i'm ready to carry it on my face no additional cost. ;)
BTw, Good luck and i hope that time you do things better.
Namaste.

Migratin from Delphi to Lazarus
Not to me on time, even to this boring, but again I got a challenge on my shoulders is really difficult to meet.
The fact is migrating an application to Delphi Lazarus is easy, by the way, but specifically this beautiful Delphi library im wornking on make a heavy use of Windows API messages...
Reviewing the steps to begin to migrate an application to Delphi Lazarus are very simple.
1) Create a new structure, independent of the one containing the Delphi application, so that you touches does not affect your Delphi application (is basic but very few do it).
2) For each Delphi project file (only for the dpr)
makepasx Proyect1.dpr
3) For each .pas file executes the following command
makepasx unit1.pas
4) For each delphi form execute this command
dfmtolfm unit1.dfm
5) Lazarus uses a resource file for each form, with extension lrs. To generate:
lazres unit1.lrs unit1.lfm lazres unit1.lrs unit1.lfm
Made. We already have everything we need to take the first step in our journey of 1000 miles (the more important).Now just compile and see what happens.
Usually some functions or calls vary somewhat between Delphi and Lazarus. It could put some of them here, but it makes no sense because they are many. Instead I will give you a way to resolve discrepancies in the simplest way, or by various methods that generally make me reach the correct result:
1) If you can not find an identifier or method just look in the sources references in the sources of Lazarus. Sounds silly? Is the simplest way, this way you can know that unit is defined and objects that use it.
2) If the identifier or method does not exist in lazarus, go to the forums Lazarus and looking for. Sure someone before you crash with that stone and found how to setp out ;)
3) If none of that works, the friend google comes to the rescue. You might try Lazarus discrepantname or add the word replacement, and so on.
Finally, as the case may happen in the library that attempt to migrate, that there are too many calls to the Windows API. In this case point 2 and 3 are generally much help.
4) Subscribe to groups Lazarus and fpc. Who better than those who have already been there can help you? Even if a feature is not suported they will help you to implement it and produce the miracle of Lazarus and fpc library get enriched. :)
In other deliveries i will comment about my progress in the conversion and as the problems were resolved.
Namaste.
