On vacation...sort of

I decided it was time to take a few weeks off work (yes in the middle of this great economic crisis) and go to the Dominican Republic and visit family and friends.

I have been a here a few days so far and I managed to connect with the Local Rotary Club of Bani, District 4060 http://www.rotary4060.org . I had originally planned on attending the club meeting next week. It turned out that a neighbor of my parents is member of the Club here in Bani. So, on Saturday evening, I joined several Rotarians from Bani, at another local Rotary Club in San Juan de Ocoa where the District Governer was visiting to make a special presentation honoring two women for their outstanding work in the community. The club also welcomed two two new members to the club that same evening.

Below are a few photos from the event. Including one with the District Governor Milqueya Portes, the first woman to be District Governor in the Dominican Republic (I need to confirm, but also the first woman to be a club president) as well as a photo of the District Governer with the two special award recipients.





I will be visiting some of the local Rotary Clubs projects later in the week and will be post more photos.

Delphi 2006 CF .Net Development

I am looking for Delphi 2006 users who are interested in creating simple applications for Windows Mobile devices using Delphi 2006 .Net and the Compact Framework.

I have been following developments at http://jedqc.blogspot.com/ and have gotten started with the CFBuild: Delphi 2006 Version (beta).

My next step is to get past the basic Hello world app and create something that stores data to the PDA, followed by how I can synch that data with a PC based database via ODBC. I use DBISAM and Firebird for PC app development.

Anyone interested, just leave a comment here with any suggestions, links etc....

A day in the life......
