Decided to do a little work in go. All of a sudden I’m getting errors in vscodium referencing this tempCodeRunnerFile.go file, like I did in Pascal earlier. Trying to run a program I have run before. I assume it may be because it’s in a folder with many other go programs. Which may not be …

tempCodeRunnerFile.pp?
I was looking at some old Pascal programs, and tried to run a program I named put1.pp within VS Code (vscodium). But I got some error referencing tempCodeRunnerFile.pp (which vscodium apparently created). The program compiled/ran fine using fpc on the command line. I realized the Pascal source started with Program Record1; changed it to Program …
Zoom a useful OBS addition
It’s a desktop feature…not a OBS feature. But I should probably use it more when making videos. In Accessability choose enable Zoom. Then using the mouse wheel while pressing ALT allows zoom. So for example when showing the autosize property in Lazarus. Instead of just showing the default left image…you can zoom and show the …
Kdenlive transitions
Transitions between scenes can make a video look less amateurish. I could have said more professional, but I don’t like to use that word for anything describing my artistic abilities. In most of my recent videos, I didn’t use any. I probably used 10 different transitions a few years ago in a video I did …
Fixed another quirky Lazarus problem
I had a File I/O form stub, that would open without showing the source or the form. If you clicked View>Source Editor, it would bring up an empty panel (no source). Also “View>Toggle Form/Unit View”, was greyed out. But if you ran it, apparently without a source file or a form, it would run as …
Lazarus error solved!
I posted my “Error: Illegal parameter: CpPENTIUM2” to the forum and would go back to the page and no response. I just assumed when I returned to the page, after a new browser start, it would be refreshed…like YouTube. Finally I refreshed and saw a response telling me to delete ~/.lazarus, and that worked. No …
Pascal/Lazarus when did I 1st use?
Free Pascal (1993) – My 1st use 2001 I assume 1st available 1993 (the Copyright at the bottom of the Free Pascal web page says 1993-2023) Lazarus (2001) – My 1st use 2005 (before version 1) Trying to construct a timeline out of curiosity. In looking back at old Pascal program dates. It appears that …
Lazarus resize label control
I wanted to write a simple Hello, World! GUI program. So I put a label on the form. And I tried to resize it by dragging the handles on the control. But it didn’t work. After some trial and error I found that you need to uncheck the Autosize True property on the left. I …
Why do I always have trouble with grep?
I’ve been using Linux since the mid 1990s. I’m comfortable on the command line However when it comes to grep, I use it…it works. I document it. Later I use it again…it doesn’t work. For example I documented: [ON [9/22/2018] THE FOLLOWING WORKS!!!!]grep “using” -n /home/bill/MyStuff/Python3/*.py < This seems to work best [gives me line/line …
Lazarus Video
Might be interesting making a video showing Lazarus. If I geared it towards Visual Basic users it might get more views. Lazarus…a better alternative to Visual Basic. Uses the compiled Free Pascal (Turbo Pascal compatible) language. Create stand alone GUI programs. The latest Free Pascal is said to support its own Object Pascal dialect. Which …
