Credits

I'd like to thank Borland/CodeGear and TeamB for the excellent support they provide. Being a member of TeamB gave me access to a lot of interesting things, and of course to a free copy of Delphi, and trips to the USA. I have met a lot of interesting and nice people, since I have been on the team. People whom I'd probably never have met otherwise, and from whom I have learned much.

I'd like to thank my friends of TeamD for helping me with this website, with a lot of other things, and for being such pleasant online company.

I'd like to thank Ben Hochstrasser for his excellent FrameFun tool. I used it to frame some of the pictures on this site, something I had tried to do manually before, but with limited success, after a long time of trial and error with a normal bitmap editor. It is of course written in Delphi, as the URL already indicates.

I'd like to thank Antonio da Cruz for writing his excellent free PhotoFiltre program. It is written in Delphi, is easy to use, and with the many free plugins, a very powerful program. There is also a cheap professional version, PhotoFiltre Studio, with more functions. I used PhotoFiltre to crop and enhance most of the pictures on the top of the pages, like the one above (BTW, all these pictures were taken by me). I also use it to draw some of the graphics for my free programs.

Recently, I started using the excellent free highlighting Pas-to-HTML generator PasH, from the DelphiDabbler website by Peter Johnson. You can see the results in some of the articles. Peter, if you read this, thank you for PasH.

Recently, I was introduced to the open source vector drawing program Inkscape. I used it to do the first edition of the Delphi helmet (modelled after a photo of a Greek helmet that was probably also the model of Delphi's icons) you can see on my Delphi page, the download button on some of my pages, and the Info icon in some of my articles.

I'd also like to thank the people of JEDI, for coping with me, supporting me, and sometimes even listening to me. ;-)

And last, but not least, I like to thank the people on the Borland newsgroups for what I have learned from them.
