It seems like everything comes to me all of a sudden, hardware failure, development jobs, new opportunities, so busy all of a sudden, and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down these 2 weeks.
Lack of sleep is killing me.

Received a message from the import store that I ordered mine, due to some kind of mis-communication, they were not able to get one for me, I guess I will have to leave it as it is than paying for an overpriced copy.
Very disappointed, but couldn’t do anything about it. May be it is time to stop blindly collecting Silent Hill stuffs, especially when posession has become obsession.
Ha ha ! Finally decided to buy it yesterday.
My favourite beer has changed today, it is from Belgium, the ultimate beer - Duvel. It tastes so great that it is now my favourite after drinking just a bit of it.
Both Chimay Red and Blue labels (also from Belgium) were also great for a couple of weeks, but they are no longer the top ones today. Duvel is so unique and yet so great. I guess I will be more reluctant to drink the bad ones from now on.
Heh heh ! I am not asking a question, I was talking about one of Pink Floyd’s songs instead.
It is one of my all time favourites, but it is rather short that you will really want it to last.
And when talking about songs, ‘Wish you were here’ is another magnificent piece from them.
And I have been listening to songs that I like so much in those days, they are from Eurythmics, the unique and special voice of Annie Lennox, and Sting and …, so many of them.
I wanted to find one but all my searches returned nothing, then I was brought to the Foobar2000 forums at Hydrogenaudio and it seems it is not very hard to develop one.
I created one after a couple of hours (mostly for downloading Visual Studio 2005 Express, Platform SDK and messing around with foobar2000 9 SDK and some sample DSP codes), documentation is lacking for sure, but simple stuffs like this one is really rather simple.
It works only on stereo sources and there is no option/setting to mess with, include it in DSP Manager and you have your polarity inverted and that’s all about it. 
BTW, this is my first written foobar2000 plugin and I have only tried it on my foobar2000 9.2, I don’t guarantee it to work in any situation but I think such a simple plugin will work fine in most situations.
edit: re-named it from “Phase” to “Polarity” to be more exact
Currently in 2.0 Release Candidate 2, it is a rather good RDBMS developed from Borland’s InterBase Open Source Edition.
It has both a full RDBMS server and an embedded server (for embedded applications), it is one of my most used RDBMS other than MySQL (which is considered free to an extent), the other embedded SQL compliant RDBMS that I use is VistaDB VCL edition, but it is not as fast as the embedded Firebird in my own tests (simple inserts and delete), and it’s documentation is just average.
The tool that I use with MySQL is MicroOLAP’s DAC for MySQL, but the insert performance (through Append … FieldByName … Post … cycle) is awfully slow, you’d rather roll your own batch SQL transactions than using it’s VCL components for insertion.
And most of the time those tools/components that claim to be compliant to Delphi/C++Builder has little to no code sample on C++Builder. It seems like the C++Builder versions are just step children of the tools/components for the money.
And BTW, if you didn’t realize it already, I use Borland C++Builder 6.0 as my main development tool on Windows Platform.

I hadn’t change my wallpaper for a while, it is a scanned image of the “Love Letter” DVD inner sleeve. The pose is so good that I don’t want to change it.
There are times that you’ll tell yourself, ‘Those were the days !’.
The sentense flashed in my mind while I’m listening to Masatoshi Nakamura’s (中村雅俊) songs, ‘タダお前がいい’, and ‘俺たちの旅’, the songs in the soundtracks of ‘俺たちの旅’ (an old Japanese TV drama). I watched the TV drama when I was very young, the story and the characters are still on my mind.
夢の坂道は木の葉模様の石畳
まばゆく白い長い壁…
Still miss the days when I was young. “Those were the days !”
