Benz Blog

Quick post to remind anyone that stumbles across this blog that most of what I’ve written so far is just me venting about various frustrations in trying to learn Delphi and work in a Windows (XP) VM all day long. In many cases there are decent solutions to my complaints, and other things are just things you have to get used to. Overall I’ve been making good progress over the last week or so, and I’m actually enjoying it somewhat, in spite of the fact that I don’t care much for Pascal or Windows XP.

I just returned from a trip up to NJ where I demoed what I’ve been working on to the rest of the team, and it seemed to go quite well. Basically all I showed was a grid, but everyone seemed to understand the amount of effort that went into making that grid work (especially considering my lack of experience). I’m really starting to feel better about this project.
