Lazarus V3 Merry-go-round
Well Scientific Pascal responded in X and said the debs have been fixed. They were just the messenger (it wasn’t really their problem) but I’m glad they responded. So I removed v3.1 (some kind of experimental version?), installed the new deb and now where I’m supposed to be v3.0…I hope. Still got the error I …

Trying to open an existing SQLite GUI program Unable to find the component class “TSQLQuery”.It is not registered via RegisterClass and no lfm was found.It is needed by unit:/home/bill/MyStuff/Pascal/Lazarus/SQLite3/SQLiteZipCode/unit1.pas
Lazarus 3.1
Per their homepage, I installed Lazarus 3.0RC1 from sourceforge, just a few days ago. Per X (formally twitter) I thought I was installing V3.0. But the About said 3.0RC1. So because I had some errors I was on their forums, and it seems that this is a known issue. And the solution here, being install …
UPX
In looking again at Free Pascal/Lazarus I see in my notes where I used upx (and also strip) to reduce the size of Lazarus executables. Strip was already on my system…but upx wasn’t. It’s not in any repository. But a ready to run executable was available. The scoreboard executable was 27.6 MB. After strip alone …
Freshmeat
I was listening to an episode of the Destination Linux podcast. And they were going to interview people who worked with printers in the early days. I’m thinking “sounds like a boring topic”, however it wasn’t. And someone mentioned Freshmeat, which I hadn’t even thought of in years. It hosted mainly open-source software. Evidently it …
Lazarus Judo Scoreboard fail
Tried to compile my Judo Scoreboard program with Lazarus 3.0 and failed with “Error: Illegal parameter: CpPENTIUM2”. Tried to find some option in the menus referencing PENTIUM…failed there too.Finally found, by grepping, “-CpPENTIUM2” in ./project1.compiled and I wouldn’t have manually typed those in. Removed them and the compile worked! I asked in the forum… I …
Amazon stupid question response
Why does Amazon ask you, a customer question about one of there products. And they allow people to respond “I don’t know”? What’s worse is people do it. They don’t have anything better to do with their time? How is that useful? If you don’t know, then…just don’t respond! For example, someone asked if a …
Linux cheap ink printer
I saw a Shaq commercial for a Epson EcoTank. It’s supposed to be much cheaper on ink because it doesn’t use cartridges. I’ve only bought HP for many years, because they worked well with Linux. Probably the last non HP printer I bought was an Epson dot matrix, back in the TRS-80 days. But now …
Stupid X posts
First, I always feel the need to write X (formally twitter), because X seems so generic. OK 1 gripe down…1 to go. I hate these stupid posts Who/what is this? Wrong answers only.
