I often reflect back on a business trip I had made to Mexico. I was ‘fortunate’ enough to not be in a so called ‘tourist area’, but the actual inner-sanctum of the country. One evening on the way to a local dining delight I asked our host if we could drive around and see authentic scenery and culture. By US standards, most people had nothing. There were cinder block houses with open window and doorways. I even thought I saw a few cardboard box expansions. One thing that I did notice was a sense of family and content. Most seemed happy with just that and their few material possessions. Most of the residents I had come across were very relaxed and happy to enjoy their family and health. There was a definite lack of pressure and 'rat' race to constantly get ahead (and obtain more). The older one gets, the faster the perception of time moves along. Seasons come and go in the blink of an eye, without most evening noticing. Which is culturally correct the appreciation of what you have or the constant pursuit and wanting of more?

Today’s updates include two Delphi™ Components and one of the Freeware utilities listed on this website.

TDBDateTimePicker has been updated to correct an issue that would cause the value to not be updated when you scrolled through a recordset. The correct value was stored; it was just the value not being displayed unless you were in a state of dsEdit.

TDBSpinEdit has also been updated. This update includes a change to the display (not stored) value on a new record. Also corrected was an issue that forced the need to click the up or down button twice to move the value. This is because the first would put the State to dsEdit and the second changed the value. This is all done on once click now.

BPACLer is the Freeware utility that has been updated. A number of minor enhancements and adjustments were made. The most notable enhancement is the ability to print the ACL information. A Check Version option has also been added to the Help menu. This allows you to check if you have the most current version of the software without the need to constantly check this website. This version checking does not send any information. It simply queries (GET) a web document containing product version information and compares it to your version. It is basically the equivalent of browsing and reading a web page. I am pleased with the feedback I have received regarding this utility.

If you have any comments or suggestions regarding this, or anything listed on this website please let me know.
